Description
A gorgeous, well looked after garden sits at the centre of Xieng Moune. At the front is the old building, with rooms upstairs that are lovely, featuring wooden floors and classic furniture. More modern bathrooms have a hot shower and western toilet. The new building houses smaller rooms, which are also super clean with modern bathroom facilities and details such as soap, towels, drinking water and tea and coffee. A little expensive for the small rooms, but really lovely.

We really liked it here. We had a room in the new annexe (30$), so although it lacked the space and colonial style of the older building, the room was very well appointed, with a good bathroom, fridge, plenty of hanging space (comes in useful when you end up staying three days longer than planned), and some nice decorative touches with wall hangings and plants. Everything spotlessly clean. The balcony overlooking the peaceful garden is a real plus, and comes with comfy chairs and pile of back copies of Paris Match. There's also free mineral water replenished every day and lao coffee served in the garden by friendly staff - a wonderful place!

Villa Xuang Moune has two French provincial style buildings on the night market street. Rooms in the building at the back all have balconies overlooking a lush tropical garden. I was given the discount rate of $20 a night and loved it so much I stayed 10 days. Rooms have fridge and free tea and coffee as well. There's a lot of building going on in LP at the moment, but this place was really quiet and peaceful, even though it's so central. Highly recommended. Note that prices all over LP are higher than quoted here. I checked out a lot of guesthouses, and although the comments in the travelfish guide are really accurate, the prices are out of date.

An old French colonial building, Sayo is in the old quarter of town, and a lot of effort has been taken to decorate it in an appropriate style, with classically simple and unfussy pieces of... more

Ban Visoun, Luang Prabang
Clean and simple, the Rama Hotel offers probably the best value for money in Luang Prabang.
