After spending one night accross the Nam Khan in in Luang Prabang, we decided that it would be worthwhile to be right in the historic center given it's charm and plethora of things to do. After a little searching, we found The Chang Heritage Hotel along its nice location right next to the river. We got a "special deal" from... More

We stayed at the Chang Heritage for 4 nights with our 3 year old and found that overall the place was in a good location and the staff were really helpful. The room itself (we booked a deluxe riverview) was pretty small but we managed to fit ourselves and our little boy on a matress on the floor. The Heritage... More

Great serene river life is a usual morning scene. The hotel is in its best location to the morning monk ceremony, of which my kids found the rice-giving to be fun and interesting. However, it's a relatively far walk to the night market but with the lovely shops and slower pace, one could get back to the hotel in a... More

We had this booked through our agent and were a bit worried when we saw the reviews. However, when we got here, things were not all bad. The rooms are dark. There does seem to have been extra lighting installed, but if you want the more traditional boutique look, then dark wood is the go. You are in a great... More

My six day visit to Luang Prabang was wonderful, but the low point was the hotel. The rooms are extremely dark, there is no hot water tap in the bathroom (I shaved each day using cold water), and worst of all there is almost no hot water in the showers. On two days only ice cold water came out. The... More

While this hotel looks great from the outside and the staff is incredibly attentive, be forewarned, this hotel has some major problems. Hot water out of the shower at a trickle, rooms with no heat (and it does matter because Luang Prabang can be cold), spotty or no internet service, insufficient lighting, and walls so thin between rooms that you...

Our flights changed last minute and we were forced to seek a one night "fix" to our Luang Prabang trip. We looked at reviews and as you really need to stay on the river, we came across the Chang Heritage....This is NOT the Chang hotel....it is the high end sister property. Though I use high end loosely. I mostly write... More

I stayed at this hotel in late September 2011. The place is clean and has more of a boutique hotel vibe going on. The hotel staff was very nice and helpful although their English was limited to basic phrases and questions. The rooms had a 'hunting lodge' type feel - think dark brown paint and animal heads in the room.... More

Little boutique hotel, situated on the nam kee river, beds are very nice, bathrooms a bit small, the rooms are quite dark, all tropical hardwood, location is excellent, right on the river, breakfast is so so.... not much there, but the location makes up for it. I find it a bit overpriced during high season but its just like that...... More

Five and a half years ago we stayed at the lovely Apsara hotel down the road and for this return visit we thought, foolishly, that we would try somewhere different, and looking at the price of the rooms, slightly more up market...we shouldn't have bothered. We knew that the hotel was on the main road and, given the growing popularity... More
