• Friendly staff, good location but just alright

  The location is ideal, centre of town, bang opposite a wonderful complex of temples and the staff is friendly. I got a prompt reply when I got in touch with them using the traverlfish form online. However, the room is just OK for $30. My bathroom, for example, had a toilet seat that was elevated so that was a bit weird. I only stayed a night so it worked out but I think I paid more than it was worth.

• TRY SOKXAI 2

  Good mid-range choices are hard to find in Luang Prabang. The second Soksai location, Sockxai 2 at the foot of Phou Si Mountain, is great! Wonderful, helpful staff and intereting nearby surroundings (try the Phou Si Gallery for beautiful art and excellent food) make it my favorite guesthouse in Luang Prabang.

• Good choice

  Stayed here for 3 nights, great location about a 10 minute walk to the centre of town. Loved being across from the temples and hearing the monks chanting their prayers in the early evening. Guesthouse was clean and the beds in our room upstairs were soft. Great balcony upstairs to sit and read or indulge in the peace and serenity of this beautiful place. Staff friendly and very helpful.

• A bit overpriced

  Downstairs rooms are now US$25 and upstairs $30. Sokxai staff are friendly and the rooms are very clean. We found it a bit overpriced but so is all the accommodation in Luang Prabang. A few of the fitting were broken which was a bit poor for the price.

• Nice but spartan

  Sokxai is a very clean and well furnished guest house in a great location opposite a temple. You can hear the gong and the monks during the night. It's pretty cold at night in December in Luang Prabang and there's no heating, so be prepared. Also there was a power cut lasting hours and the water was cut for a short time. Don't let that put you off though, it's a good place.

• High season12 months a year

  The Sokxai's rates are $25 year round and justifiably so for the amenities and the location. If you get a discount , it could be due to some micro management reasons like, or most probably the mood of the guy behind the reception. The fact that their cable TV was one day old and still wrapped in plastic did set my mood right...

• Good choice

  Stayed here for one night -- good position, clean, and quiet. The best place we stayed in Luang Prabang, and very good value.
