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

The magic of Luang Prabang can only be experienced fully by staying in this excellent hotel. We loved the athmosphere, all of the lovely and caring staff and the exquise food by their French chef. Highly recommended!! Philippe and Iris Maastricht Netherlands more

The hotel has a great and quiet... more

It's an all suite property, and our mountain view room comprised a large bedroom, with a sitting area, huge bathroom that opens onto an enormous balcony with... more

Have stayed in many of the great hotels around the world, and this is right up there. Totally charming, thoughtful and attentive staff, combined with the most wonderful of settings / views above Luang Prabang. Nothing is too much trouble, and they arranged several trips / jaunts for me. The food in the restaurant was outstanding (local goat cheese) -... more
