Description
Clean and simple, the Rama Hotel offers probably the best value for money in Luang Prabang. It is centrally located, with a choice of either fan or air-conditioned rooms, all with bathroom and hot shower, fridge, telephone and television. The only drawback is that the beds are like concrete. Rooms are cleaned daily, and the staff are very friendly. Breakfast is also available for an extra $1.50/day

Fair value -

Stayed here December 06 and January 2007 and rates have gone up to $30 per night. Jaliya round the corner is a fair substitute if you can't get into the Rama. Both a small walk out of the main centre, but reasonable value for money. Don't expect top standards, but clean. And breakfast, tho boringly repetitive, is fair enough.
25USD in july -

We paid 25 USD in july 2006. One thing I didn't like : when we arrived, the price written on the form we filled was 18 USD, and when we left, they had changed the figures into 25 USD.

Ex to call Vientiane...reasosnable for 15usd. Very close to I think the best local food ACROSS the road. Always see locals buying there. Fried rice is good there. Hotel is at major intersection. Overall not bad for convinence. But the recep forgot to wake me up at 8am for my ride out of town...lol
I thought it was fine -

Stayed here Feb 2005 - felt very comfortable. This hotel gave me all I needed - I don't expect 5 star facilities/24 hour room service, nor should you at the price. It is a little way from the town/river, but a little walk never hurt anyone. Note to ''no service at all'' - Lao new year is around April, so you need to expect higher rates.
Rama Hotel's Just Fine - 
By chrisweecs ( total comments: 17 ) Stayed here 5/2005
After cycling in 38 degree C heat from LP airport we rolled our bikes into the restaurant of Rama's where they were parked, unlocked for 3 days. The chubby reception guy greeted us with resounding 'yes' and 'no' sirs with each query. Too polite. We even used his cellphone charger. And the room was just fine, with a slightly dusty parquet floor cos of the dry season.. Nice views from the top floor balccnies. Superb value at $15 year round, except for Pimai?The solution for inflated room rates is to..move on...

I selected the Rama hotel because of it good reviews, but the way they threat you is below anything you can imagine. We made a reservation, since we would arrive with the latest flight from Vientiane to Luang Prabang. They told us that the room would be US$10 (that's also what the LP of January 2005 told us). When we arrived, they suddenly said the rooms were US$25 because of the upcoming New Year. Excuse me, but it's now 10th April!!! This is not the best value for money that we expected. I wouldn't recommend this place to anybody.
