Shanti Guesthouse

A bit shabby
Overlooking the river, Muang Ngoi
Luang Prabang Province

Description
With such splendid views all along the river, it's hard to go wrong with a basic bamboo bungalow, but Shanti's are among the shabbiest in Muang Ngoi. Rooms are smallish and dark, and not the cleanest, while balconies are blessed with hammocks for taking in the view. The shared bathroom is small and dark, but otherwise fine, with the obligatory squat toilet and cold shower. There are rarely any staff around, but inquire in their main street-side restaurant if you need to stay here.

Total rooms: 3

Bungalow fan private b'room
2 USD (low season) 2 USD (high season)

Off the river, Muang Ngoi
