Le Bel Air Resort Luang Prabang

“Fantastic ending of our trip in Luang Prabang.”

The hotel is just before the old bridge and therefore not directly in the city center. However, it's only 10 by foot to reach the down town. The rooms were nice and spacious.

“Pretty Good”

This is a charming hotel located on the banks of the river. Nice spacious rooms with good service. There is an overall air of serenity which makes the stay here quite pleasant. The staff is not necessarily English speaking, but that does not come in the way of good service.

“Lovely riverside setting - and visited by many cats!”

Very scenic setting and picturesque resort. About a 20 minute walk to the heart of town but can get a tuk tuk for about $4 and they can take 4 of you for that. It is right next to the old bridge but be mindful that it's pedestrian so ask tuk tuks to drop you off right at the bridge then you'll ne… more

Very scenic setting and picturesque resort. About a 20 minute walk to the heart of town but can get a tuk tuk for about $4 and they can take 4 of you for that. It is right next to the old bridge but be mindful that it's pedestrian so ask tuk tuks to drop you off right at the bridge then you'll need to walk across to the hotel. I loved that the rooms were individual chalet style with much more character than many hotels. Also had a small patio area out back to relax in and with views of the river. Lovely pool area and bar. I particularly liked that 4 or 5 cats were roaming about the gardens, but this aspect may not be for everybody! Only disappointment was the breakfast selection and the fact that my room was on the very far side and quite a walk to get to - not great for a female on her own after dark, felt a bit isolated out there. But I guess someone has to have the far away rooms.

“Colonial boutique Hotel”

After spending two and a half weeks travelling around Vietnam and Cambodia We arrived in Laos in darkness, which was unfortunate as we could not see much of the resort, just the foliage and corridors and paths en route to our room, which was on the far side of the complex. The rooms are colonial with a large fan as well as air-conditioning. They are very clean and the fridge was well stocked with beer and soft drinks which was very welcome. Unfortunately there had been a storm the day before and we had no Wi-Fi for two days. This was eventually resolved but it’s also affected the TV. we needed to change $100 into smaller denominations, but the reception staff gave a point blank “no”, which was unexpected as all the other hotels had been very obliging. Ngern and Year in the restaurant were consistently polite and helpful, all staff were very friendly. My comparison to the other hotels that we have stayed in on this trip, the buffet breakfast is quite small, but you can ask for an omelette, If you ask for tea and don’t stipulate whether you want English to , you will get green tea! The hotel is took, took ride away from Knight market, but that only cost about $1 per person each way. The night market is worth a visit, and you do not get hounded by the sellers like you do in Cambodia/Nam.
