Hotel berhampiran Beauty Sisters Shop, Luang Prabang

It was our first time in Luang Prabang, and we picked Kiridara based on other reviews. Rest-assured, it was a smart choice. The location was great. While not in the center, there is a market super close and a supermarket about 10 minutes away. For the rest the hotel offers a free shuttle which is on call until about 9 pm, and takes you more or less everywhere you need to go. The rooms were clean, nicely layed out and offered everything you need. If something was wrong, it was fixed quickly. The pool was refreshing and offered a great view. The drinks from then pool bar were delicious. The highlight was the breakfast. There was a small, but nice buffet plus a menu. The a la carte menu was the biggest plus. You could pick up to four dishes, each from one category, like eggs, hearty or sweet. Be sure to eat yourself through all the options, while you stay - it‘s worth it! All in all a great stay, and we will come back to Kiridara for sure for our next stay.

Great location. 1 min walk to river; 5 min walk to central area with night market etc. Basic room which was clean and functional. Good value for money. The outside area isn't really used for chilling out as everyone hangs their washing there. Would have been nice to have sat there as it overlooks the street. Quiet enough in the evening as it is far enough from the centre so it feels quite peaceful. Quite an old, authentic building. Creaky floorboards etc. Might not be suitable for someone looking for more comfort, but I thought it was quirky and delightful.

ตกแต่งสวย เสียอย่างเดียวตู้เย็น เสียบลำบากมาก กาน้ำร้อนสกปรกมากเป็นคราบ ในห้องอาบน้ำ ถ้าใช้น้ำอุ่น ไอน้ำจะเป็นกักบริเวณหลอดไฟข้างบน แปรงฟันแล้วน้ำหยอดใส่หัว อาหารเช้ามีข้าวต้ม และไข่ดาว แช้วแต่วัน ทำเลดี เดินไปโจมาได้เลย พนักงานบริการดี

The staff are so lovely here. Very accommodating and always have a smile on their face. The room was very spacious which was a god send for us as we had been travelling for a few weeks in Vietnam beforehand, and some of the rooms we stayed in were quite small in comparison. They provided amenities and a stocked mini bar. The rooms are located with a few metres of the night market, and the morning market starts just outside the front gates of the accommodation. The people there were so quiet that you couldn’t hear what was happening outside of your room or on the street. We did have a bit of a giggle at the sleeping arrangements, as the bed was two pushed together, but this didn’t bother us. The door we had was a bit tricky as it was wood and seemed to get stuck… quite possibly due to humidity.. but a bit of elbow grease doesn’t hurt. Breakfast was great with fruit served along with your choice of meal. I opted for the noodle soup one morning and the second morning eggs. Very tasty. The meals were very generous. They even kindly packed us takeaway breakfast as we had a morning flight to catch to our next destination.

I choose this hotel due to the decoration style and location also now rate is good. Hotel is small but convenient, location is great ; nearby by the river and tourist attractions. Staff service is excellent, all are very helpful with smile. Room is good, clean but wall and ceiling need to touch up. Breakfast is not variety, I prefer to have local foods outside the hotel.

A very enjoyable stay. The villa is conveniently located near the Mekong riverside and within short stroll distance to most major areas of interest in Luang Prabang. Room is spacious and cozy, with a nicely sized bathroom. Reception helps to book trips and services at a lower cost you may not find outside, with pickups at the villa as well (except for, of course, boat rides). Tiny issue was the lack of toothbrush and toothpaste. The rest is provided.

50대 혼여행자입니다. 라오스 호텔의 대부분이 소규모로 운영됩니다. 직원분들은 엄청 친절합니다. 꽝시폭포 조인밴 예약 100,000만킵 오토바이 새거 하루렌탈 250,000킵 호텔에서 예약했습니다. 이 호털은 반지하가 있어 싼방 예약시 반지하에 배장될 확률이 높아 보입니다. 호텔앞 테이블에서 멍때리기에도 감성이 있어 보입니다. 조식은 일반빵이랑 커피입니다. 위치적으로 좋아 근처 가게도 많고 메콩강이랑 가깝고(걸어서1분) 몽족아히장도 가깝습니다.(걸어서 5분) 가까운 곳 미니소도 있지만 물건이 별로 없습니다. 미니소 약국 옆에서 썬크림이랑 밴드를 구입했습니다. 호텔에서 환전은 안됩니다. 한국사람 기준으로 방이 그렇게 청결하지는 않습니다. 직원들의 친절함으로 일부 불만은 덮어집니다.^^ 유럽쪽 여행객들이 많이 묵는것 같습니다. 대체로 가격 대비 만족합니다.

Love the location which is directly by the riverside and quieter area but doesn’t compromise the proximity to Wat Xiengthong and the tourist street. We eat the same things for breakfast daily but thanks to the gorgeous view and pleasant weather , everything was cool. Room is spacious and even has a bathtub. However the TV is tiny and far away from the bed which makes it impractical to watch tv from bed.

We stayed for five nights at Mekong Charm hotel. The location was wonderful, right across the street from the river view. We had a room with a balcony that was very nice. The balcony chairs are a bit uncomfortable and the table much to large, but it is still nice. The bed was comfortable and there was plenty of hot water and bottled water provided. The front desk manager was very kind and always willing to help. Why a 3 star revies and not 4? I struggled with this but we had a couple concerns. One was my shoes were missing the second morning from the area where they want you to leave them. After looking everywhere the desk mgr went and retrieved them from one of the workers. So, if she took my $40 sketcher sandals, could we trust her when cleaning our room? So, we said no housekeeping and we just switched out towels with the desk clerk. We also had our laundry done and it came back clean, but very wet. Not three items were dry. Thankfully we had a balcony and were able to get a clothesline and hang everything up to dry. Pillows are in need of replacement and a king bed needs more than 2 regular sized pillows. Plug-ins, Easter basket and hair dryer handles all need to be cleaned from time to time. For what we paid, we didn’t complain but I did voice my concern about my shoes being taken.

I took a half day emountain bike this morning with 2 other people. I was super excited having paid $75 for it, had high expectations... The bike itself looked fine, however it could not handle steep hills. I asked another guest on the tour to test it as I was really struggling. He said it had no oomph or power on the steeper hills. He too ended up pushing it which he didnt have to do at all on his bike at any point. The others were motoring through pain free and they were older than me. The guide tested and said it was fine. Of course. The climbs were steep and it was exhausting. We never got to stop for photos or admire the scenery and it felt like an endurance test. We were then taken on a hike to some caves but I couldn't manage it after the exertion of getting there. The guide never checked on me and just let me go down alone. There was a van with three men in it (at this point I didn't know they were going to take my bike to the next village). As a solo traveller my first thought is my safety. Here I am waiting (no phone signal) in the middle of nowhere with these three young men there. The woman in my group observed there was 'bedding in the back'. It was unacceptable. I was then deposited I'm a village somewhere (alone) and waited for the others. Please note I am fit, lift weights and play badminton in a league. I have also played semi professional football. I gave them the opportunity to make it right but as ”the guide said it was fine” it clearly was, fine. Breathtaking. I also felt the reply had a degree of judgement in it ”difficulties completing the course” like I'm a 39st unit! There are no managers/decision makers on site. A premium price for a basic product- should have just hired a mountain bike for a tenth of the price. I hate giving bad reviews and if it had cost a bit less then I probably wouldn't but I really think people should know they are rolling the dice with this company. Absolute waste of time and money. Lunch was ok. Avoid. I feel so mugged off.
