Hotels With Bar in Luang Prabang Province, Laos

I love everything about this hotel. I actually booked it at the very last minute as I had to cancelled the other hotel due to incorrect date. Room was so spacious, very clean, and the breakfast spread was not bad too. If you are vegetarian, you may ask them to make new ones if they have it. Pool was really great, staff was extremely helpful & friendly. Do not worry if the location is just a bit out of the centre, they have free shuttle services & pick up too. The spa massage was amazing too. And i love that they also provide free shuttle to train station or airport if you stay 2 nights. Do not hesitate to book this hotel!

I found this gem of a hotel in Luang Prabang, and it was a truly amazing experience! The **Ya Hotel was definitely the biggest surprise of my several-day trip to Luang Prabang! From the moment I landed, I felt the warmth and convenience far exceeded my expectations. The hotel owner is a super nice, handsome Chinese man. A graduate of the National University of Laos, he's not only fluent in Lao but also deeply knowledgeable about local culture and customs. Before we left, we learned that we needed to prepare sticky rice for the morning alms offering. The owner thoughtfully pointed out the best street corner to view it from, and even emphasized the importance of maintaining silence and avoiding casual photography. Every day before heading out, he offered advice on food, drinks, and entertainment, and he always offered expert recommendations—from Laotian hot pot stalls hidden in alleys to authentic French bread at the night market. He even shared his bargaining tips, making it feel like I had a ”walking guide.” The hotel's location is impeccable! Located in the heart of the city, it's a 5-minute walk to the main route for the morning alms offering, allowing you to immerse yourself in this millennium-old Buddhist tradition without having to get up early and rush. Breakfast is particularly plentiful. A three-minute walk takes you to a restaurant on the main road. The aroma wafts from the open kitchen, nestled among bamboo trees. The owner highly recommends the basil, onion, and ground pork with sticky rice, served on a bamboo plate. The meaty aroma, combined with the aroma of the herbs, is incredibly appetizing. For just 15 yuan per person, you'll be completely satisfied. For a French-inspired experience, the corner bakery's freshly baked croissants paired with Laotian black coffee are a local favorite. I was lucky enough to run into a few fellow Tianjin residents who were craving steamed buns and fried dough sticks. The owner arranged everything with just a phone call—really nice! The hotel's location was a must-do for the evening: a 10-minute walk to the Mekong River. Stroll along the banks, watching the silhouettes of fishermen casting their nets fade into the sunset. Then, head to Mount Phousi, a 10-minute walk to its base. Our host had warned us that sunset over Mount Phousi is a must-experience in Luang Prabang. Climbing the cobblestone path, we'd encounter local couples clutching bouquets and tourists clutching cameras. The breeze carried the scent of incense from the mountain temples. We reached the summit just as the sun was setting, and the Mekong and Nam Khan rivers merged below us. The city's old French-style buildings and golden temple domes were bathed in a warm orange. Only when the last rays of light faded and the lanterns below gradually lit up did we reluctantly make our way back. The French Street Night Market is easily accessible from the hotel. Every day after 6 PM, the lanterns on the pedestrian street light up, and strolling there from the hotel is just in time for the night market's peak activity, allowing us to return to our rooms whenever we feel tired. The hotel's newly renovated rooms are bright and comfortable, with a fresh French-Lao design and thoughtful details. During the day, I beat the heat in the pool, the fragrance of frangipani flowers from the garden drifting onto the balcony. In the evening, after watching the sunset from Mount Phousi, I sat on the terrace, sipping a Laotian beer and quietly daydreaming, perfectly recreating the languid rhythm of Luang Prabang. Whether it was a morning shower after watching the alms offerings or a soak after a tiring night market stroll, it was an instant revitalizer. During my few days here, I truly experienced what it means to ”make a foreign country feel ordinary.” The owner, in fluent Lao, helped us with the car rental issue and chatted with my parents in Chinese about itineraries. This sense of trust, transcending language, was incredibly reassuring. If you want to fully experience Luang Prabang—watching monks walk barefoot through the ancient streets in the morning light, watching the sunset over Mount Phousi at dusk, and browsing for handicrafts at the night market—the **A Hotel is a surefire choice. It's an exceptionally cost-effective gem!

Lovely hotel directly at the river. Beautiful balcony for breakfast and restaurant food, another terrace directly at the river for relaxing and reading. Rooms are spacious and clean. Walls not too thick though. Stuff is super friendly and welcoming. Free airport/train station shuttle and shuttle to the city center.

The courtyard was beautiful, and the water lilies blooming in the pond were a delight to behold. Sitting on the room's terrace in the evening, the sounds of fish blowing bubbles and the chorus of insects swept away the fatigue of travel. One night, I was lucky enough to experience a downpour, and the water lilies in the rain were outlined in gold by the lights. The hotel's design was distinctly French, and the facilities were new; I loved it!

We had a nice stay at this hotel. Room is spacious. Staff are friendly, even though we had some miscommunication about early breakfast. They kept our luggage for 2 days, which was wonderful for us to travel light dure a 2 day tour

What a find! Away from the main street although easily walkable to the night market and bars and restaurants. Carefully prepared breakfasts which we both enjoyed. Rooms are large and individually decorated, cleaned daily. Really loved the beautiful decor. Service was excellent. Any query was answered fully and suggestions for activities and restaurants given if and when required. There was a lovely pool area with beds and chairs too. All in all I would thoroughly recommend this boutique hotel for families or couples.

There weren't many Chinese people in the hotel. I didn't see any other Chinese people during my two nights there. There was only one review from a Chinese person, and it was a negative one. The location is average, to be honest. However, the hotel provides free shuttle service. There was no hot water on the first night, so I texted Line and they moved me. The next day, they even apologized and treated me to dinner.

This is a budget guesthouse. I initially stayed for one night and then extended for another. It's incredibly well-located, within a 10-minute walk to the Night Market, the main tourist street, and the Royal Palace Museum. The Mekong River is even closer, practically at your doorstep. Being right by the main road, it's very convenient for shared taxis or private cars to pick you up and drop you off directly, which was a huge plus for our excursions! Both the owner and staff speak Chinese and are proactive, willing, and enthusiastic in their service. While the facilities are a bit dated, they are perfectly functional. A notable highlight is the Gree air conditioner in the room, which is very new and works exceptionally well – a feature many other hotels can't match. All the clothes I washed last night were completely dry by morning, making packing and checking out very convenient. However, guests with very high expectations for accommodation standards might find the comfort level doesn't quite meet their expectations.

Our second stay in this Villa. We loved the experience, and liked the design of the room. Everyplace in the center is walkable from here. Also the morning ceremony can be watched from the location. I’d definitely stay again.

Stayed for more than 10 days, quite a good hotel, the front desk boss is very beautiful Facilities: very convenient, go out is foreigner street Hygienic: clean and tidy and comfortable Environment: Absolutely relaxing resort Service: Breakfast is full, watching the Mekong River scenery, eating and chatting
