Very friendly and homelike place. Breakfast is fantastic. The rest of the day there is a restaurant with really, really good food. You just join the big common table if you want to talk and meet up with other guests. There are also smaller tables if you want more privacy. A nice balcony for reading and relaxing. I would stay here again :-)

Peter makes an awesome breakfast. He also helped is with train tickets. The property is very well located and the central courtyard is an excellent way to meet fellow travellers!

Ruben Australia

The location is excellent. Close to both morning and night market. Down the short street to the Mekong River cafes too. Its very quiet. The rooms are great and bed is comfortable.

Duncan United States

The guesthouse is in a wonderful location, right next to the night market on one side and the Mekong river on the other, but at the same is a bit hidden which makes it calm and quiet. There is a very nice outdoor dining area where you can enjoy extremely tasty food prepared by the owner - a great cook!

Karolina Poland

Peter is super accommodating and made such an effort to make all the guests feel at home. The breakfast was fantastic and the beds were very comfy. There's also the added bonus of an adorable cat. Would definitely recommend :)

I really enjoyed my stay at the guesthouse, the courtyard was really cute. As for services, Peter was really friendly and personally picked me up/dropped me off at the airport. The morning breakfast was really delicious.

Great location - good tips on local things to do and a very friendly atmosphere around the place. Centrally located

Thomas United Kingdom

The owners were really helpful and the breakfast was super good. My room was comfy and clean, it was ok but not a "wow". I would suggest more details on decorations would make it cosier, maybe to change the blankets for duvets to get more feeling of cleanliness, the area upstairs maybe to make it a relaxing place to also enjoy for the guest instead of a storage. These are just suggestions. My stay was good and also the location excellent

Andy was a nice guy who really cares about his guesthouse, and has made a homely and pleasant stay in a fantastic location in Luang Prabang. He is ultra accommodating and the room was extremely clean, the bed was comfortable. We would return.

Property information

Since 2008 we've had the pleasure to meet and serve travelers from all over the world. Manichan Guesthouse is very quietly but centrally located, a stroll away from the Night Market, the Mekong River, the local Morning Market, the Food Market and the National Museum. We are a family guesthouse and we still believe in a warm and personal contact between people who should not be treated as QR codes. Besides all the usual services, like tours, tickets and bike rentals, one unique service of Manichan Guesthouse lies in the quality & variety of food that can be ordered. Manichan and Peter are both very experienced cooks and can prepare almost any meal "a la carte" or to your taste. Travelers can socialize and enjoy their meals and drinks at the "big" shared table in the PATIO, where many stories have already been unfolded through the years. Guests can also opt for a private table as well. Welcome.
