26.10.21We enjoyed our stay at Madilao. It’s a little further out of town but the hotel were able to help us arrange a moped.
The local ride app in Laos is a bit hit and miss with taxis taking around 15 minutes so I think it’s best to get your own transport.
The pool was exceptional and the rooms felt more than the star rating the hotel has!
Breakfast was simple, we found ourselves eating a brunch again an hour later but it’s ok for a basic start to the day!
We would stay again if ever in Luang Prabang!
26.06.13What a fantastic hidden gem! This hotel was the perfect escape from the busy tourist areas, offering a relaxed local atmosphere. The surrounding neighbourhood had a lovely community feel, with local restaurants and cafes nearby, making it easy to experience the area like a local. You can walk or cycle to the nearby places or use the hotel shuttle to get to the main tourist area. There’s also a great bamboo boat service nearby.
The staff were exceptional throughout my stay—friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help with recommendations or any requests. Their genuine hospitality really made a difference.
The rooms are large and comfortable, the pool area was beautiful and well-maintained along with the lovely surrounding gardens and plants, all of which provides a peaceful place to unwind after a day of exploring. The gym was also impressively clean and well-equipped, with everything needed for a good workout.
Overall, this hotel offers a wonderful combination of comfort, excellent facilities, and outstanding service in a quieter, more authentic location. I would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for something a little different from the usual tourist hotspots.
