Luang Prabang Hotel Recommendations | Popular Hotel MyBanLao

| The popular hotel MyBanLao. Actually, Luang Prabang offers great value for money when it comes to hotels. You can stay in a very nice hotel for just a few hundred yuan, making it a paradise for budget travelers. After staying in the old town for two nights, we wanted to find a photogenic hotel and came across MyBanLao. It opened just a few years ago, and the environment is perfect for photos. We booked a poolside room, which costs 1,200 per night including taxes during peak season. The pool is right outside the door, and in the afternoon, it's full of kids swimming, making it a great family-friendly hotel. Since MyBanLao is a bit far from the "Farang Street" (Sisavangvong Road), we recommend staying near the street for a few nights first, like we did. Explore the morning and night markets, watch the almsgiving ceremony, and then move to the hotel. For Farang Street, we recommend staying at 3 Nagas by MGallery. The almsgiving procession passes right by the hotel, so you don’t have to wake up early. You can also walk to major attractions from there. The hotel's restaurant is ranked among the top on TripAdvisor. The hotel offers a pick-up service if you book two nights. There’s also a free vintage car service available daily to take you anywhere you want. We took a ride to JC Supermarket, but couldn’t reach the hotel by phone on the way back, so we took a tuk-tuk instead. Across from the hotel, there’s a local Lao hotpot restaurant frequented by locals. It’s incredibly popular and offers more variety than the hotpot places near the old town. Notably, the hotel’s own coffee and dessert shop is unbelievably affordable. I enthusiastically bought two cups, two drinks, and a dessert—all payable via WeChat.
