    In the town centre but not noisy once balcony doors were shut. Fan and air con, room had everything you needed and the shower was very hot. Drinks available to buy on site which meant we could have a beer on our balcony looking out at the river and mountains. Helpful staff - they arranged our taxi to the airport.

    Unfortunately the building is old, which can be noisy, specially if you stay on the ground floor, you can hear people walking in the upstairs rooms and closing and opening the doors, this will obviously depend on how loud the guests above are. The shower takes around 2/3 minutes running to become hot and that's quite a waste, it's also hard to balance between hot/cold water.

    The building is quite charming, the view is interesting since it's in front of the river and you can see the local life. The room is nice and the bed is good. The staff was very helpful and tried to provide for our requests. The breakfast was good.

    I wondered why staff members seemed so solemn. When I opted for a room in the "traditional Lao wooden house" annex, I expected something with a bit more charm, but it was just a room like any other.

    The inn is located steps from the main street in the historic center, and overlooks the pretty Namkhan river. Despite being directly over the street my room was quiet at night as traffic is very light. Air conditioning and ceiling fan are much appreciated. The bed is good, and the bathroom is clean and functions properly. There is a choice of breakfast options and the "Western" breakfast is really very good.

    The bathroom is quite old.

    The hotel has a great location with a panoramic view of Nam Khan river. It is close to the main street and the night market, but is much more quiet. My room on the first floor with a terrace is large. The staffs gave a standard service. You can ask them to arrange a minivan ride to the airport for 100,000 LAK (shuttle from the airport costed me 80,000 LAK). A morning alms set (sticky rice, snack, seating) can be arranged for a high price. I would recommend to buy local food from the morning market and join the ceremony at a less touristic areas though.

    As a heritage listed building I can find no fault.

    The location is great. It is a Heritage listed building Number 323 so Luang Prabang is A Must see town and no matter where you stay but do stay in the old town and Heritage listed hotels/motels/guesthouses. So I would recommend definitely stay in this area.

    if I really really should think of something it would be the bad reception on the TV. why have it when the signal is awfull. but then again it really doesn’t matter does it

    it’s a pretty good base when in luang. nice staff, clean, good rooms and showers. we had a room with a balcony which was really good in the mornings. there’s a small reception bar but no restaurant and nothing to do really other than get a good night sleep.

    Formidable stay, the staff were very polite and helped us with tours, restaurants, motorbike renting,... The room was cosy, ...lovely and we had an amazing 3 days of sleep. For breakfast, you have a choice of 3 styles western, Asian and Lao... all so good and with fresh bread. The hotel is well-located in Luang Prabang, close to Phousi hill, a 5 min walk to the night market, and a 2 min walk to the Mekong river,... close also to the commercial streets with a lot of bars and restaurants.

    Excellent location views up and down the river. Very quiet. The best service with a very friendly helpful owner and staff. My room was with a balcony to sit and drink your coffee! Just around the corner from all the main attractions, Phousi Hill for sunset. Alns. monk ceremony, the Presidential museum & the Royal Ballet. The hotel even packed my breakfast for the slow boat trip to Pakbeng. I wish to highly recommend the Saynamkhan Hotel 10/10.

    None.

    The location is very near to many attractions, such as Phousi Hill and Buddhist Stupa for your hiking to see the sunset, alms-offering to the monks in the early morning, beautiful temples, bamboo bridge, and many famous cafe that you can enjoy variety of tasty bakery and coffee. The local staffs are really great, superb friendly and supportive to all your needs. They kindly provided a lot of useful guidances with their wholeheartedly services to us, such as explaining many attractions and places to eat soon after we arrived. Also, they arranged a rental motorbike with reasonable price for our 2-day use, which make our trips remarkably because we could travel freely and enjoy a whole city of Luang Prabang, not only the tourist spot at Tat Kuang Si Water Fall, but we could also find a hidden gem of local restaurant where Lao young people enjoy having lunch with nice scenery along the Nam Khan River. If you wish to stay at Luang Prabang for a peaceful vocation, this hotel should be one of your top list.
