We did not know what to expect when we landed in Lao and perhaps that was a good thing, as we soon began to realise why Luang Prabang is regarded as the hidden jewel of Asia. For those that don't know the abbrieviation of (Lao)PDR - it is short for Please Don't Rush and one is immediately drawn to this... more

Wow. We didn't expect this in Luang Prabang. We did a month in SE Asia and this was our favorite stop. The only negative I'll say is that you don't have to spend this much for a nice place in Luang Prabang. It's a really cheap city. But you really shouldn't pass this up. Great French colonial architecture, superb food,... more

This is a top class facility with top class service in geographical location that was interesting and had not been spoilt by the tourist hoards. It is not cheap but offers value for money. more

The room was nice, bed was super comfortable and the setting was very romantic. Our needs were anticipated and cheerfully acceded to. We had a problem with an... more

Beautiful setting. We didn't love our room for a couple of simple reasons--the bathroom has an open wall to the bedroom, and there is a frosted window to the hallway; at night the hallway lights shine into the room and it's actually both really light, and also doesn't give you a feeling of real privacy. The hotel is beautiful though,... more

There is simply no better place to stay in Luang Prabang than the Residence Phou Vao. The service is superb with staff that speak very good english. I had been forewarned that I would need to exercise extreme patience in Laos. Not so at Phou Vao, everything worked beautifully. Try to avoid the hottest months since, even though the rooms... more
