MONSANE VILLA

Love the room. The location is super convenient. It is right on the walking street where there is night market and food stalls. Good restaurants and cafe are near by. Famous tourist spots are in walking distance. Breakfast was ok. There are some options to choose from western, Chinese and local Laos. We were able to join traditional morning food offering to monks which is right in front of our hotel entrance.

The location is great. Although if you are checking in after the night market has started, you will have to walk through the night market to get there, since the street is closed for cars. The room looked really nice at first glance. I had the family room (solo traveler, but it was the only one available). But once I looked closer, I was disappointed. It was dirty. There was so much long dark hair everywhere that I think that there is a lady walking around Luang Prabang with only half-head of hair. There was dried pee on the toilet seat. Although the room looked nice initially, the bathroom was clearly not thought through during the remodel. The shower and toilet are next to each other, and when you shower, everything gets wet. So you need to wear plastic slippers to go to the bathroom for the rest of the day. There is no toilet paper holder, it's just put right above the water tank. There are not enough racks for 4 people to put their towels anywhere in the room or bathroom. The cute windows in the door leading to the hallway (frosted for privacy) are not so cute when they turn the light on in that hallway at 5:30 AM. I thought somebody turned the lights on in my room, it was that bright. There is also no soundproofing, so even somebody watching TV at a normal volume level next door sounds like they are in the room with you. By far the highlight is the location, which is right by the night market.

I called to inform that I was late. Nobody answered to my call and mails. I booked a window room and received no window. Water not warm enough. Position fantastic.
