Wonderful stay.

Loved this hotel owned by a very cute French couple. They've owned the hotel for under a year but have done a great job. From day 1 they helped us arrange a really fun stay in Luang Prabang. Could not have had such a good time without Rudy's hospitality and recommendations.

Room was extremely small and bathroom was terrible. After first night we requested a different room. Staff was very accommodating and we gladly paid for the upgrade to a little larger room with a decent bathroom and better WI-FI signal. The beds are very firm

Quaint, Good Breakfast

Staff were helpful, owners served breakfast each morning, which was AMAZING! I stayed on the second floor, room #5. Hotel was quiet because all the guests (except 1) made an effort to be quiet and respectful (walls are thin). It was a basic hotel, cute balconies, bathroom light didn’t always work and the bed was hard as a rock but otherwise I liked the place and would recommend.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Room had many large bugs and geckos, including the biggest cockroach! When we told the staff, they just offered to kill the insects, and didn’t offer for us to switch rooms or any other services. The place feels run down. The shower is in the same area as the toilet with nothing separating them, so the toilet gets wet when you shower. One big perk is free drinking water.
