I am not familiar with writing reviews but couldn't help but react to the one I just read from VCAT67. This morning, I was recommending "La residence Phou Vao" to a friend and open the review on Trip Advisor... I was telling my friend how great my trip to Luang Prabang had been mainly thanks to La residence's GM. The... more

I would have given this beautiful hotel a higher rating, but there was an unfortunate incident with the French hotel manager which had a big negative impact on our stay. We booked a romantic escape package ($260/night which is very high for Asia at this time of year) which includes a "full day deluxe cruise to Pak Ou cave with... more

I've just ended a nine-day stay at La Residence Phou Vao and it was a unique experience. The hotel is outstanding in every way but its staff is absolutely incredible. During years of travel around the world, I've never met such courteous, well-trained, charming, and totally-professional employees anywhere. Everyone at La Residence Phou Vao deserves mention in this review, but... more

I have just come back from a worderful sejour in La Residence Phou Vao.

I still can't believe what a wonderful time I had in Luang Prabang and especially staying at this place. Probably the most beautiful swimming pool I've seen in my life. Every morning, I would start by bathing in the pool overlooking the jungle, luang prabang and the golden mount Phousi. The trees, the flowers... Breakfast was perfect, And the city... more

Right from the start the staff were brilliant! with smiles and the 'wai' given immediately. The rooms were neat and beautiful. and the grounds pleasant to walk around. The infinity pool couldn't have been better placed, can get very hot! but shade is available and is ever so nice with a beer in hand and a view of the mountains... more

Stayed at La Residence in July 2007, but was shocked to find that I'd forgotten to review my stay. I found it to be a simply great hotel -- perhaps the best I have stayed at in Asia. My room, furnished tastefully in dark woods, overlooked the town from my window and balcony. Service was attentive, and the staff always... more

This is by far the nicest hotel in Luang Prabang.Not in the center of the city but in a quiet are slightly up on a hill. Nice rooms, very intimate. A must stay when in Laos more
