The Grand has its positives and negatives: Positives >Beautiful and well maintained grounds; >Attractive architecture; >Included breakfast overlooking the Mekong River; >Friendly staff; Negatives >15 minutes to town (the hotel has limited shuttle runs and when not available, the hotel shuttle, if around, was available for a nominal charge), where there are better options; >Room service tray was not cleaned... more

The hotel - as others have said - has much going for it. Most notably, the beautiful grounds and the location on a lazy bend in the Mekong. Waking to the fog on the river and going to sleep with the sound of someone putt-putting back to their village was wonderful. We did have our challenges with service. On our... more

We just stayed at The Grand. In doing this review, I will try and give you an accurate & atmospheric description of the hotel having spent 6 years in Asia and noting some of the comments on trip advisor. The staff are without doubt charming, smiley, helpful and friendly. Our room overlooked the mighty Mekong as well as the beautiful... more

I spent 5 nights at the Grand with 10 friends to celebrate my birthday in September. It was wonderful: the rooms spacious with Balconies overlooking the beautiful Mekong. The gardens were beautifully kept, the horizon pool was large enough for 11 Australians to enjoy and the restaurant staff and food were fantastic. The trips into LP were not a problem,... more

Lovely hotel, nice rooms and beautiful grounds, with view over the Meking. But another time, I'd choose to be in the centre of Luang Prabang more

The Grand is a delightful hotel...friendly helpful staff, beautiful grounds and swimming pool, nice restaurant and great location right along the Mekong. It is around 4 km from the center of Luang Prabang but there is a free shuttle van that runs at reasonable hours and will make special trips for US$2 person. more
