Frangipani inn Luang Prabang

The big bed room with a small balcony on the third floor we stayed in was quite good. It was a small hotel run by a Chinese girl. It was clean and tidy. There were windows in the bathroom and room, so it was very bright and ventilated. It was very special to sit on the balcony and enjoy the breeze at night. Comfortable and convenient to walk to the Mekong River, Foreigner Street and night market.

The location is right on the Mekong River. It is very convenient to see alms, visit the night market, morning market, and take a Mekong River cruise. The Chinese boss has smooth communication and can provide travel suggestions.

It is very close to the vegetable market and night market. It takes about ten minutes to walk slowly. The owner is Chinese. It is easier to communicate with tourists who do not speak English. The facilities are average and transitional accommodation is OK.

After seeing the reviews of this hotel on Xiaohongshu, I decisively booked this hotel, and it certainly lived up to my expectations. You feel at home and at home! On the day we arrived, the boss told us that he had a washing machine, free laundry, a drying platform to dry clothes, and a kitchen for cooking. He also introduced us to the morning market, night market and the time to participate in alms. In short, if you have any questions, the boss will help you. The boss is Chinese, so communication is very convenient for us who are not good at foreign languages. The exchange rate at his house is higher than exchanging money at the checkpoint or on the street. He also helped us rent a car to Xiguan Waterfall and the high-speed rail station. Try to help us save money on car rental. When we go to Xiguan Haobu, we rent a business car. The car can accommodate 7 guests. One car costs 70W kip. The boss helped us make an appointment for 6 people, which costs 12W per person. We also went to Dazhou on the way. I fed the elephants in the Elephant Garden, and went to the internet-famous Rice Field Coffee on the way back from Xiguan Waterfall. The location of his house is great. It's 1 to 2 minutes' walk from the river and 3 minutes' walk to participate in almsgiving. Get on a 40,000 kip minibus from the station, and the driver will drop you off at the roadside in front of his house. Don’t worry about not being able to find the hotel you booked when you go to Luang Prabang for the first time. The four of us are independent travelers who are all over 70 years old and are not good at foreign languages. It is very convenient to stay in his hotel in Luang Prabang. It is especially recommended for people who are not good at foreign languages ​​and want to travel independently.

[It's cheap, but the facilities are inadequate. Recommended for those who value cost.] ○Good points ・The owner is very kind. He talks to me in a friendly manner and is happy to help with any problems I may have. ・Starting from 3,000 yen per night, it is quite cheap for a single room in Luang Prabang. ・Air conditioner works well ・Access to the city center (night market) is very good, about 5 minutes. ○ Areas that need improvement ・The owner is Chinese and can only speak Chinese. The conversation will be conducted using a basic translation app. ・There is a lack of amenities. For example, there is no trash can in the room. ・There were mosquitoes in the room. I feel like mosquitoes can easily get in due to the structure. *Mosquito repellent available ・Sometimes the hot shower comes out and sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't come out, it's lukewarm temperature ・The shower and toilet are integrated, there is no shower curtain, and the shower and toilet are at the same height, so when you take a shower, the floor of the toilet gets messy. ○Overall Recommended for travelers looking for affordable prices and easy access. On the other hand, if you are looking for a certain level of cleanliness and full facilities, you should pay a little more and stay at a hotel one or two ranks higher.
