“Good value.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012

Moved from Villa Merry 1 and so glad we did. This was a positive move. Close to everything. Good restuarants just down the road. The night market close. We had a back room upstairs. It had a verandah, windows that opened, and was very good including quiet at night. It is definitely worth while having a look at.

Room Tip: If you need quiet, get a back room upstairs.

“comfortable and clean”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2010

Arriving in Luang Prabang by slow boat means many backpackers racing to find a room at the same time. This guest house is just off the main street and not far from the 'dock' and was the first we checked. We returned here after a look at a couple of other places.

Rooms do vary in quality but not in price so ask to view each one if you are in a party and don't assume all are the same.

The staff are efficient and helpful but not particularly friendly - no chit chat here no matter how hard I tried.

There was a relatively good wifi connection in our room but again this varied depending on room.

It was a little noisy at times in the guest house but these are old buildings close together and you can't have everything (at this price).

Overall we enjoyed our stay here as the location was excellent and the bed comfy.

“the only reliable hot showers at 4 accommodations in l.p.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 December 2007

at $15 a night this guest house was the only accommodation i used in luang prabang that had constantly available hot water shower.it was also very basic but located near the mekong river ,opposite the couleur french restaurant and 15 metres from the entrance to the night market.a 100 meter walk brought you to the main shopping street.luang prabang has two major problems to overcome in its race towards being the prime tourist destination in laos...HYGIENE and lack of HOT water,the latter due to use of what appears to be cheap chinese electrical wall heaters and even cheaper thinner chinese electrical cabling that makes their 220v system ineffective.i suspect the namsok has thicker electrical cabling...the namsok is also near the boat wharf where,due to lack of landing facilities and the steep unassisted climb ,many serious accidents have occured requiring medical evacuation to bangkok...in regards to food hygiene,joma cafe,the big tree cafe on the riverfront,les elephants (expensive) the scandanavian bakery and the aforementioned french restaurant appear to be the exceptions to the generally appaling food concepts in luang prabang....there is also a good dvd store in walkman village in center of shops ($2)

  • Liked — hot,hot water
  • Disliked — usual laos low bed
