Vangsavath Hotel – Luang Prabang

It's 30 minutes walk from the busy part of town but regular shuttle service is provided. The staff is exceptional friendly and helpful. I stayed during one of the coldest day in laos and it can be quite cold even in the room under blanket. room is clean with good shower and hot water though a bit dated. Decent breakfast and free coffee and banana throughout the day but no meals after breakfast. This is homestay sort of place and i enjoyed my stay very much.

I wanted to like this place but it didn't work for me. It is just far enough outside of central Luang Prabang to be inconvenient. There is a free shuttle, but it runs limited hours, and it gets tiresome negotiating tuk tuk rides. There is a restaurant or club nearby that plays loud music at night. I was awakened early by roosters and bright light streaming through the frosted bathroom windows. [The bathroom does not have a door.] Everything is at a slightly different height [entrance to room with toilet, sink area, bathtub]. I thought it would have more of a "country feel" and be quieter. Communication was OK, although staff vary in English language proficiency. I preferred spending time downtown where things are walking distance and would stay in a more central location next time.

The staff was so great! Very helpful and nice for all your needs around Luang Prabang.

The property, though not very near the town centre, is close to the very vibrant Posy market. The hotel provides scheduled ferry services to and from the night market, which is a bonus. The service is very personalised partly due to the fact that we stayed during the low season where there were very few guests. The rooms are quite well appointed but need maintenance (dust, cracks in the tub, etc). The daily breakfast, though simple, was good. liked the fried rice. There are free bananas, bikes to be loaned and round-the-clock coffee and tea supply. The coffee needs to be changed more regularly as it tasted a little rancid after a day. Overall the stay was comfortable and service was good. May try a property located in the town centre next time.

Excellent staff, very helpful. Free shuttle to the historic center running almost all day. The place is clean and they even offer free bananas 24/7 :). We had an amazing stay!
