We booked this hotel because our friend spent great time 2 years ago in this hotel as it was member of the Shinta Mani group. This times are past as it was renamed to Luang Prabang View Resort. Our choice of standard room was a mistake. The standard rooms are located in a dependance in front of the hotel. The rooms were clean, modestly equipped without safe, no shower but with a bathtub, no information about the hotel facilities. But that all would be acceptable because of the nice location on the hill overlooking the town and the nice swimming pool. Then came the sleepless night, the road is running directly under the windows of the dependance and in front of the building was a construction site. The work started at 5 am and the noice from the street was unbearable, you could mean all tuktuks and lorries are driving through your room. In the morning we contacted the reception and were offered an upgrade to the superiour rooms. Because of that Iam writing 2 reviews for this hotel. The standard are NO value for your money, it s a ripoff, If you want to spend over $ 100 you find a wide range of quite better options in Luang Prabang
