Nice place for a week or so
Pros:

Two pools! Great location too. The breakfast is tasty and fresh. We had a nice bathroom and the AC was working well :))

Cons:

The lighting in rooms is dull and cold, so it creates a bit of a hospital vibe. We had to refill our toilet paper on our own ://

Pros:

Motorroller direkt zu mieten.
Gutes Frühstück

Cons:

Der Pool war zwar schön, aber zuviel Chlor im Wasser was Hautentzündungen verursachte.
Offensichtlich wurde nur reingeschüttet und nichts gemessen.

Pros:

Everything!! The staff (bee) was super friendly, helpful and kind to all my questions and requests. I had an incident with the water heater but they fixed it super quick and were worried about my safety. I’d come back to stay there such a lovely hostel!!

Cons:

Nothing everything was amazing!!!

Pros:

Propre, très bon emplacement mais pour 30€ la nuit c’était très très humide, l’eau chaude ne fonctionnait pas, on a fait bien mieux pour moins cher

Cons:

Dommage vue l’établissement et la piscine avec ce qui est sensé être proposé

Expérience assez décevante
Pros:

Très bien situé et calme.

Cons:

La propreté pourrait être améliorée.
Malheureusement nous avons eu une chambre très sombre et située au rdc. Donc moyennement agréable. Cela a forcément joué sur l’expérience.
Le personnel est inexistant nous avons mis 2 jours à découvrir qu’il y avait deux piscine à disposition car aucune communication.
Franchement je voyage bcp et personnellement je suis assez déçue et surprise des commentaires précédents. Pour un court passage cependant ça fait l’affaire mais rien de plus.

Pros:

Tout était parfait le personnel sympathique la chambre au calme hop et avec la literie confortable. Rien à voir avec hôtel mais personnellement j'ai trouvé que deux nuits étaient suffisantes pour un séjour z Luang Prabang.

Cons:

Dommage que le village de Luang Prabang ferme tôt, a minuit c est limite le couvre feu lol

Pros:

Emplacement à 10-15 minutes à pieds du night market.
Le responsable parlant anglais a pu nous réserver un taxi pour visiter les Kuang Si waterfall et pour l'aéroport.

Cons:

Les photos booking ne correspondent pas à la réalité : sdb vétuste, toilettes sales, évacuation wc ne fonctionnant pas, coffre fort cassé (mais réparés le lendemain), faible lumière dans les chambres (il manque des ampoules au plafond et à une lampe de chevet),
la piscine(sale )n'est pas dans l'hôtel mais dans un autre hôtel situé à côté.
Petit déjeuner décevant, avec des jus de fruits mélangés avec de l'eau.
Une seule personne parle anglais,

Pros:

La posizione la vista e il silenzio

Cons:

Dovrebbe essere fatta un po' di manutenzione nella camera e nel bagno acquisterebbe un punteggio maggiore. Lampadine non funzionanti nel balcone nella stanza e nelle abat jour dei comodini, tavoletta del wc ingiallita e da sostituire completamente, pulsante del wc che si toglie quando lo usi pezzi mancanti mobile in cemento del lavandino, tende della camera con quasi tutti gli attacchi mancanti

rami vieta poilsiui
Pros:

Vieta rami, gavau kambarį su vaizdu į upę. Pusryčius užsisakyti galima iš meniu, nedidelis pasirinkimas, bet užteko. Labai malonus ir paslaugus personalas, man suorganizavo vakarienės kruizą, kelionę prie Kuong Si krioklių ir urvus.

Cons:

Lova kieta :( man anksti ryte buvo skrydis iš Luang Prabang, iš vakaro užsakiau registratūroje tuktuk į oro uostąį, jiems sumokėjau, tuktuk ryte nepasirodė, teko taxi kviesti, tai gavosi, kad dukart sumokėjau už transportą į oro uostą.
