Location is good. Quiet back streeta minutes walk from the night market. No wifi. American breakfast-does anyone know what that means? Appearently-no fresh vegetables /cornflakes/fresh milk/second cup of coffee! Every shower ended in overflow. Staff not too friendly. Price too high for what you get. A shame. at that means?

Sokdee Residence as a premise is quite good. The rooms are decent, clean and its centrally located on a nice humble and quite street. What so bad about it is the people managing it. Service is poor, no smiles and warmth, and it seems that as if you're at their mercy once you checked in. And its also apparent from... More

The room was big, and it has nice wooden walls, but the bathrooms was pretty horrible and the window net was badly tapped up when we arrived and we had to re do it when we got there. The over head fan was wobbling ominously, it looked a little bit like it might fall out of the ceiling on us... More

We stayed for 4 nights at the Sok Dee Residence as part of our honeymoon over Christmas 2011. The residence is only about a 5 minute walk into the main street and is a relative new place with nice wooden furniture and a great balcony.

This review is for the Sok Dee Guesthouse and not the Residence, though they are mismanaged by the same people. I can waste your time writing about problems with pricing, wifi, retching neighbors, blah, blah, blah, but what you really need to know about this place is that there are no screens on the windows, and at night, despite hosing...

There is Sok Dee Residence and very nearby Sok Dee Guesthouse. We stayed in the guesthouse. At $15 per night we found the fully wood panelled rooms (walls, ceiling, floor) and on-suite bathroom excellent value for money. Nearby hotels had rooms at $40-$50. The place is right on the peninsula of Luang Prabang and about 80m from the bank of... More

This review is for Sok Dee Guesthouse not Sok Dee Residence. The associated guesthouse was one of the best places we have stayed in. It cost 100,00KIP, which was a bargain considering how big our room was and how nice it was. Floor and walls covered in beautiful dark timber, it felt v.luxuorious. A word of caution tho, the bedrooms... More

Read about this guesthouse on trip advisor and after looking at prices online figured it was better to arrive unannounced. This turned out well as the rooms were online at $32-45US which we negotiated down to $24US (200,000 Kip). We stayed 5 nights. We stayed in an upper level room. The room was quite nice with timber floors, a comfy... More
