“Hotel delizioso”

Soggiorno perfetto, ottima la localizzazione che permette di stare appena fuori dal centro che e' raggiungibile a 5 minuti a piedi. L'edificio si compone di 4 strutture con un'architettura in legno e immerse nel verde. Alcune di esse si affacciano sul mekong. Ottimo il servizio, la pulizia e l'attenzione riservata ai clienti.

“ottimo”

“Historic Hotel in tourist area”

First a word of explanation: Be aware that no hotel on the Luang Prabang peninsula (aka old town) sits directly on the side of one of the rivers because there is a road that goes around the peninsula. Hence, all hotels that claim a river view have a road between themselves and the river. Second, there are a lot of trees along the rivers, so few hotels will have unobstructed view of the river (of what I could see while walking around maybe the Mekong Riverview hotel has rooms with unobstructed water views - but i did not stay there) . As for the Victoria XT Palace; the same applies. Few rooms seem to have riverview and from the site it was not clear which rooms. But even so, I would not spend more money for a river view. You get a great river view at breakfast! The hotel is essentially a number of independent buildings, around a garden/pond with fish. Some will have garden view (the best), others may look at a roof or another building. I had booked a "villa", which was correctly described as a two storey room with a jacuzzi. However, the water in the jacuzzi (inside, groundfloor) was far too cold to use it, and you could not change the water either (no tap). The rest of the GF was a "living room" which we never used. Upstairs the bedroom and bathroom (shower and tub) were very spacious and comfortable. You had the feeling of living in a colonial-style house (wood floor, small balcony,...). Good bed, AC, WIFI very good etc etc. Breakfast was good (without being "wow") but the food in the restaurant for lunch/dinner was unexpectedly good. They have free bicycles for the guests to use, which is handy. The hotel does not have a swimming pool. The staff are extraordinarily, going out of their way to help when an issue arises. The main Xieng Thong Temple is right next door, and the monks pass in front of the hotel in the morning..

“It was a perfect decision!”

We initially had some concerns based on reviews mentioning old facilities and air conditioning issues, but our experience was beyond perfect. We loved the tranquil beauty of the hotel; the entire area feels like a garden. The front door opens to a local street, conveniently close to the main streets leading to Xiethong Palace and the night market, you can see the early morning ceremony just by the hotel entrance with the locals. The other front door sits beside the Mekong River, providing a beautiful view for breakfast every day. Our room offered a fabulous sunset view from the balcony and windows, and all the facilities inside were in good, clean condition, it was pretty chill at night, so we didn’t turn on the air conditioner all night, but still, during the day time, we didn’t sense the noises. We appreciated the minibar in the fridge. Throughout our stay, we enjoyed a cozy and peaceful time at the hotel. We will definitely choose to come back here next time.
