Great place near Utopia ”

This is technical review to know what you should expect from sysomphone: Pros: 1. Behind other luxury hotel managed by same team; and they openly invited us to enjoy brilliant river view and other facilities in luxury hotel (like juice, POS, first aid) They provided us more than expected. free of charge tea, instant coffee, great pancake on break fast with milkshakes. The staff are so kind. All should take off shoes at entrance so interior is so clean in wooden area. Cons: Far from city center (doesn't matter if you are into activities out of the city) Bathroom in ground floor behind the lobby No mosquito net but doesn't matter Location: Located behind the central hill of Luang Prabang, so little far from the main river (Mekong) and close to second. But if you are into bar and clubs so the place is so close to Utopia bar best option in this location is sysomphone Breakfast: Fantastic for the price. It is not open buffet but you have several options for your omelet and diverse shake behind free l cafe and tea. Room conditions : Consider that there are air-conditioned rooms and fan circulated rooms. The first is shared bathroom and bathrooms are in ground floor (while all room are in first floor) so a little hard to go and back. But there was no need to air conditioning during February for us. Bathroom Clean and organised full of backup paper Service More than expected. Every midday they clean every places to the molecular scale!!! A 24 hour police guard protect during night. Safe box in air-conditioned rooms. Overall: You cannot afford such a service with this price they do more than expected

Good but basic”

We stayed for three nights in one of the standard rooms (small and made of thin wooden planks). Air-conditioning is not provided (you have to pay $3 more if you want a room with it) and there is only one fan. We didn’t mind this but have stayed in places for the same price or less that did have air-con. The lock on the room was difficult to use and the bathroom is inconveniently downstairs. Ticket rates are also quite inflated (160k for the bus to Vientiane when you can get it for 150k in town; 40k for the bus to Kuang Si when a hostel up the road offers the same for 35k). The breakfast is excellent. You choose one cooked item (eggs on toast, for example) and one drink (the mango smoothie is very good). We’ve stayed in lots of places with free breakfasts and this was one of the best. Overall, this is a good but basic place to stay in Luang Prabang.

Recommendable place”

Very nice place. Good location, quite nice staff and delicious breakfast. It was nice stay in Luang Prabang!

Clean Hostel, but unconstant hot water and lack of mirror”

I booked a single room for myself with shared bathroom and stayed here total for 5 nights. - Good thing: clean hostel; nice staffs - things can be improved: 1. the water heater always switched off; hence not consistent hot water 2. Lack of mirror; no mirror in single room and public area, the only mirror place is in the shared bathroom which is very inconvenient (as you may need to queue until the bathroom is unoccupied). I told this to the staffs and requested for a mirror in public area instead of the only 2 bathrooms- but the owner rejected to buy any mirror (i assume mirror is quite cheap ) but it is really inconvenient. To me, lack of a mirror is a big deal breaker. 3. the Owner agreed to upgrade me to a private room with bathroom for 2 nights but later changed only to one night. If i know this earlier, i will book another guesthouse.

Good budget stay!”

Location is great, owners and staff is super nice and helpful. They let us keep pur backpacks thwre for a few days. They have a guard watching all night so it is safe. Very good laundry service and good breakfast. Free tea. The only bad thing about this guesthouse are very thin walls. You can hear all your neigbours like they are ib the same room.

Good room and breakfast. ”

A decent room and bathroom with fridge, great breakfast too! Our laundry came back with small holes and it wasn't cheap. Also, the cleaner left our window wide open all day and we were on the ground floor - MAJOR security risk wist stuff in our room! Staff didn't seem too bothered when we politely explained though.

Good price for good guesthouse”

Good location, great breakfast! Extremely tiny walls so I can clearly hear what other people are saying in next room

great hotel”

Great hotel, facilities are clean. Breakfast is nice. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Exceptional”

Nice room with towel and water bottle changed everyday. Amazing breakfast a la carte Nice staff

Great only if your neighbours are great”

Guesthouse is ok. External bathroom in the wooden part of the house was unexpected for us and other guests, but the worst part were paper thin walls. The first night we were lucky and our neighbours were quiet. Second night we had a chance to meet King of Life. Aussie backpacker, loud and smoking in his (wooden) room. In between his mushroom session (which he loudly recommend) he was also asking his lao dealer to find him a good girls. Later more noise were made. Guard outside was of course sleeping soundly not giving any f’s. Hope you have better luck than us

Decent for the money.”

The room was spacious with a desk. They gave me two twins when I ordered a double, but Agoda issued a partial refund. The room itself wasn't very welcoming, but it was clean and the bed was comfortable enough. Good location and good breakfast. Try the banana pancake!

Excellent”

Share bathroom are on a different floor... and you can hear your neighbour as if they were in your room.. good breakfast and smoky employes

Perfect!”

Confortable beds, very clean... and the best breakfast in the city included! (Eggs, saussages, bread and vegetables or pancakes + natural juice + unlimitted coffe or tea). I love this place!

Very good”

Location, staff service, cleanliness, room condition are all fine. The owners are helpful and breakfast us fine. Recommended.

Pleasant Surprise”

15mins walk from anywhere you'd want to go. Wide selection of choices for breakfast and it includes juice/shake/coffee. Transport can be easily organised from hostel. Walls are VERY thin.

Above average”

We stayed here for 3 nights. Positives: comfortable beds, cl and good, free breakfast. Negatives: walls thin as paper, you can hear everything that goes on in the rooms next to you, the hallway and even the dining/common room downstairs. The staff is unhelpful and unfriendly.

Good”

It was much too hot in the room. On night okay but on the day you couldn't stay in this house. Breakfast wasnt much, but you get a juice. But still hungry after that, but I think its normal in Laos.

OK but no duvet made mornings cold”

No duvet, share toilet, noisy Staff friendly, breakfast ok

Good”
