Description
This attractive guesthouse has been decorated in a classic Lao-French colonial style, and is very classy. All rooms are air-con with simple pieces of well coordinated pieces of furniture and a bathroom with hot shower and western toilet. All amenities such as towels, soap and drinking water are supplied. Rooms at the back of the building are slightly smaller, but have windows looking out towards the Nam Khan and its mountain backdrop. Three front rooms have doors opening out onto semi-private balconies along the front, which face Wat Sene across the road. These rooms are a little larger. Although Senesouk is extremely clean and nice looking, the rooms are a little on the small side.

We decided to splurge a bit and stay a few days here. We made a great decision. The room was beautiful and the staff was amazing. They took care of motorbike and were always right there with a great suggestion. The second floor balcony is a great place to hang at night and drink Lao Lao. Pheng and Bountavy really went above and beyond. My girlfriend left her money belt in the safe which she didn't realize until we were on the bus back to Vientiene. We called and Pheng told us not to worry. By the time we got to Vientiene Pheng called to say that the brother of the owner was flying in had had the belt. He delievered it to our guest house and refused to allow us to pay him for the trouble.
Somewhat Overpriced -

A nice place, just a little away from the centre so nice and quiet. Although at $35 for a ground floor twin seemed a tad expensive.
We had a great stay! -

Booked directly with the hotel frm LP (which may have helped us) and got a standard room at the back for $30USD a night. Room was very comfortable with en-suite and small fridge. Polished teak furniture and floor, lovely cushions etc really lifted it above the competition. Great ex-colonial feel, though I think the balcony rooms are probably worth the extra $5.
Location was fabulous, at the quiet end of the street (until the alms drums in the morning anyway!) but really close to the action. Some great places to eat and drink nearby - really recommend the 3 Elephants and Cafe Wat Ban Sene.

Ai réservé 2 mois avant une chambre double superior pour 4 nuits. A mon arrivée la chambre supérior était au rez de chaussée avec seule vue sur le mur mitoyen et bien sur pour le prix d' une supérior à 35$. A notre arrivée à 18h la chambre n' était pas faite. Le pire est que le réceptioniste à votre départ vous réclame 40$ au lieu des 35 convenus. Dommage la guesthouse est super bien placée... mais le séjour a été gaché par tant de malhonneteté. A noter la tv-cable satellite n' existe que sur le catalogue de publicité!!
Comfortable and Great Location -

Very comfortable, neat, and clean guest house. Well located at the end of the busy street, with Internet shops just round the corner.
More up the road - No rating given

A few steps up the road leads to the Sokxai GH, almost a clone of the perpetually full Senesouk, with the exception of cable TV and bigger balconies for the same price. Senesouk's decor wins just on its teakwood furnishings.

Luang Prabang has very few guesthouses in this price range, and Villa Sokxai (previously known as Sok Xai Guesthouse) is one of them, but probably not the best value.
