    “Comfortable”

    I made a pickup reservation online, but when nobody came to pick me up, the reception kindly handled the phone call for me, which I was very grateful for. They continued to assist me until the pickup arrived. I was worried since it was by the river, but only one mosquito appeared in the room, so my concerns were unfounded. The water areas were also cleaned properly, and it was comfortable. The shower has hot water, but the water pressure is quite weak; however, considering the price, it's sufficient. I would like to stay here again when I go to Luang Prabang.

    “Very satisfied!”

    First, the shortcomings: the room is very small, the bedding is old, and the shower water temperature fluctuates. The rest are all great advantages. First, the room is soundproof and very quiet at night. Second, the hygiene is maintained daily and is particularly clean. The best part is the breakfast, which has more than ten varieties, mostly freshly made, super nutritious, fresh, and plentiful! It's the best breakfast I've had in Laos!

    “Clean and comfortable”

    Accommodation in a great location near the Nam Khan River. The Night Market is just a short walk away, taking less than 10 minutes on foot.

    “Amazing bedroom”

    I stayed in Cold River for 3 nights. What I liked the most was the bedroom with a beautiful balcony, giving a rustic and peaceful feeling. The breakfast was extravagant and delicious. The hosts were very friendly and pleasant. However, there was one male staff member who wasn't very friendly. He didn't create a sense of closeness for the guests, and I didn't see him help carry guests' luggage up the stairs - which is necessary in hotel service. But overall, it was fine. The distance from the hotel to the main road is actually 1km, farther than noted on Agoda, but the path was interesting and comfortable, with many shops, so I didn't feel tired (but anyone who is weak or has small children, or is visiting in sunny weather should pay attention to this). Overall, this is a very lovely hotel. I will return here next time I come to Luang Prabang. Luang Prabang is also one of my favorite places in Asia.

    “Best accommodations in Luang Prabang”

    I think this is the best accommodation I stayed at during my two-week trip in Laos. First of all, you definitely need to use a room on the first floor to have a similar opinion as mine. Good points: 1) Room condition: The room is very pretty and clean. 2) Breakfast: The breakfast is really delicious. I won't forget the crepes and apple jam. 3) Great terrace: Spending time on the terrace of the first-floor room is the biggest advantage of this accommodation. Downsides: 1) Bathroom: The bathroom is a bit dirty. However, it's bearable. 2) Location: There's a downside that you have to go a bit further inside. Overall, it was undoubtedly the best accommodation. If I visit Luang Prabang again, I will definitely return here.
