Briimming with character

The walls of this traditional Lao-style house are made of bamboo, so every noise carries. Although the rooms are very small and basic, there is a lovely authentic feel. The cleanliness can sometimes leave a little to be desired, and the rats in the roof are a little loud, but the place has character, a relaxing garden and great location. A highlight is sitting on the steps at the entrance at 4pm, while the novice monks play a percussive herald to the moon's cycles in direct view of the wat across the street. All bathrooms have hot water and all rooms are fan-cooled. This is one of the only spots in Luang Prabang where rates have actually dropped in the last few years and they are among the lowest in town.
