Room was lovely. Stayed there for 3 nights. Bathroom could be better maintained. There was a slight stench in the bathroom but the 2 exhaust fans (one in the bathroom and one in the room) minimize the stench. Shower head was broken and I couldn't turn on the shower tap too much otherwise the entire bathroom would be wet. Breakfast... More

Although this hotel has potential and some good features (friendly staff, ample size rooms, good breakfast) its positives are outweighed by the lack of management and some basic features that a good hotel room should have. The bathroom in our room had a shower and a toilet with no division so the entire bathroom floor would got soaked every morning... More

We used this lovely hotel as a base for a week's stay in Luang Prabang, leaving to go out on trekking and kayaking trips. The rooms were very nice. Large comfy beds, good bathroom and most have balcony. For $20 we had a really nice room. Staff were very friendly and helpful - though the late night staff could not... More

This hotel is really clean, had very friendly staff, and free internet access in lobby. The location was perfect--right by great little restaurants up the street and across from a huge temple. The room was clean, with hot showers and air conditioning. What really made this hotel was its staff... Especially its night manager, who speaks English, Thai, and is... More

we paid $30usd for our room here and the room itself is large and well decorated - huge bed and nice bathroom, but very dark- even with windows open and lights on, huge balcony, but then if you're in a room facing the road the noise is really loud (i slept fine with ear plugs however). the location is a...

Very nicely decorated rooms but also very dark. One girl on the front desk spoke very good English and seemed very nice. Roadside rooms have a nice balcony overlooking the main road but this made it very noisy in the morning with motorbikes zooming past, and at night a bar was playing loud music right next door. Hot water was... More

Nice hotel about the equivalent of $12. The one girl there in the morning was very sweet and spoke great English. The other girls did not speak as well but it was never a problem and it was something we had gotten used to after travelling around SE Asia. The rooms are very charming, with nice décor. The patio out... More

Paid 100.000 kip for a spotless twin room with a/c and satellite TV. The guesthouse is a beautiful colonial house that looks recently refurbished. Rooms are well furnished and have a small balcony. We stayed in two previous guesthouses before staying in this one (and visited 10 more) and really, this was the best one, considering you get a clean... More

This was our first time visiting Laos and Luang Prabang and we were recommended to stay here at Villa Shayada. Very nice and clean and excellent service. Though the windows don't have screens or glass, it is a very nice authentic Laotian home and let's you feel you are truly in Laos. The experience at the guest house was excellent... More

Phenomenal location. Balcony surrounded by palm trees, quiet, yet only a few minutes walk to the waterfront, market, restaurants. The owner spoke perfect English and was very helpful in arranging tours and making recommendations. The staff was genuinely friendly, they were excited to sit down with us and talk, and you could tell they cared and were truly grateful to... More
