I have mixed reviews of this property. The property looks beautiful from a distance but when we checked in, our room was absolutely infested with mosquitos. The staff tried to be helpful and accommodating by moving our room twice but even in the final upgraded room, we still spent the night squashing mosquitos. Each room was very musty (probably the super mouldy curtains) and the furniture, even the suite, was stained and just looked grubby. With some deep, professional cleaning, this place would be stunning - the gardens are beautiful and breakfast by the pool is lovely. The property is away from the town but a tuk tuk is cheap and the hotel can organise a scooter which makes getting around easy.

Large rooms, but far from town centre
The rooms are very comfortable and spacious but the hotel far from the town centre. The hotel offers a free shuttle to the town centre but only 4 times a day and it's not very reliable, it can be late or early. If you need transport outside of those hours the hotel charges an extortionate amount, you are better off finding transport elsewhere or walking. Breakfast was a la carte with very limited options. We stayed for 3 days and couldn't use the pool because it was closed for maintenance, we weren't even allowed to use the sun loungers. I understand pools require maintenance, but we were never told either before we arrived or at check-in.

The manager and all of the staff are gracious and welcoming. The property and grounds are well maintained and a relaxing oasis just on the edge of downtown Luang Prabang. The pool is large and swimmable but like most of the pools in town it is not as crystal clear as one would like. Overall, the property is delightful.

Toui and the rest of the staff went out of their way to make sure we were happy at every turn. Great service, beautiful rooms, one of the best restaurants in Luang Prabang, and serious attention to detail make this property an excellent choice. We look forward to our next visit!

Beware of overcharging
"Free airport transfer (by request)" was not free. They tried to charge laundry fee for a "evening gown" for which I never asked for service (I was a male solo traveller).

This hotel is close to flawless. The staff are excellent, the facility pristine and quality superb. The only minor quibble is that it’s a few clicks out of town but they deal with this by having a number of courtesy cars at various times. I cannot speak of this facility more highly.

I chose the Luang Say Residence because it was ranked as the #1 hotel in Luang Prabang and I'm enthusiastic to say it exceeded my expectations. The experience was so good that I've decided to leave for my first ever online hotel review. The rooms were large, extremely clean, comfortable, and very unique in an elegant french design. Customer service was second to none - there was never a feeling of them trying to sell products (e.g. room upgrades, tour packages, etc.) but rather a genuine effort made by all staff to make our experience as enjoyable and hassle free as possible. The multi-course served breakfast was amazing and it will be hard to go back to hotel breakfast buffets. Even if there weren't a number of neat things to do in Luang Prabang, the Luang Say Residence on its own would have made the trip worthwhile. My only regret is not having booked a longer stay here.

incredible service
Loved the staff at the hotel- very friendly and knowledgeable. It takes about 7 mins to get downtown by car or tuk tuk, but the staff helped with transportation. If you want to stay in the center this isn't the place, but we loved the calm and relaxing vibe and the fact that there is a bit more space.

Fabulous hotel outside the old town
This picturesque hotel is outside the old town but hey provide an on demand shuttle service and return shuttles from town run every hour. A Tuktuk from town is 10-20k Kip. It has a fantastic pool which is super relaxing to hang out at. The breakfast is served a la carte and is delicious. Service is friendly and attentive. The place itself is so beautiful and our plantation suite was large and well-appointed. The Hotel arranges tours if you want too. They offer airport transfers as well. Nice mix of couples and families.

Simply Outstanding Hotel
Luang Prabang is the most beautiful small town in Asia I've ever been, an incredible great surprise, The Hotel is Superb, I've contacted by mail with the manager to arrange our stay due to my wife's birthday and they organize everything beautifully, excursions, transfers everything, We book the transfer from the airport and Francoise welcomed us in the Arrival hall with a great smile and a superb attention to all the details (well done guy) and lead us to the hotel where we've been welcomed by the Hotel's manager, who seems to be doing an excellent job here, Hotel's staff are so warm, friendly, helpful, they've showed up with a welcome mocktail and a birthday cake during the check in before to lead us to our room, The hotel is way better than what you can see in Expedia's pictures, the atmosphere and the charming ambiance, the decoration is superb, beautifully detailed, awesome landscape, everything is just perfect, We booked the Pioneer room, and it was really nice, located in the first level, the size is perfect, the bedding was wowww we really had a very good rest ,we enjoy the balcony views, The Breakfast is outstanding as well, we specially love this type of small hotels , more intimate and where you can get rid of those Buffet type breakfast, here they serve a la carte meals , which are beautifully prepared and presented, with enough options to fulfill all your needs and expectations,
