Where to stay in Luang Prabang Laos: best style hotels & hostels for any budget

Finding a nice place where to stay in Luang Prabang Laos, in general, seems like an easy task but once we went into details, it wasn’t so easy after all.

Laos is the kind of country that’s still just developing and you shouldn’t expect extremely high-quality standards whether you plan to stay at one of the Luang Prabang 5 star hotels or some of the midrange or budget guesthouses.

However, there are a few gems that can be found!

Luang Prabang and Laos overall is known as a place with not the best WiFi in comparison to other SE Asia countries nearby.

While it’s not a critical issue for those on vacation, it’s was pretty important to us, as we travel and work from our laptops at the same time.

So all the Luang Prabang hotels we recommend here has a good WiFi for working or surfing the web during our vacation.

Another factor you want to look at is the location. It’s best to go for hotels in Luang Prabang city center, as moving around with a taxi is not the cheapest thing if you have to do a haggle about it daily with the taxi drivers. It’s way better to be around the central part of the city with the night market, the walking street, temples, and all the nice cafes.

To make the task of picking the best places to stay in Luang Prabang way easier for you, here are our personal recommendations of great and stylish Luang Prabang accommodation.

◽THE BEST STYLISH LUANG PRABANG BOUTIQUE HOTELS

Maison Souvannaphoum Hotel

Maison Souvannaphoum Hotel might be the best boutique hotel Luang Prabang has to offer. Or at least the TOP5.

Apart from the central location and 5-minute walking distance from the night market and all the restaurants, it also offers the feeling of being close to nature. Such elements are Lotus pond at the breakfast area, nice garden and the big pool does the trick!

This hotel offers one of the most stylish interior designs I’ve seen anywhere in Laos. It’s a great balance between “minimalist style meets historic colonial vibes”.

You can get classic rooms for two or bigger ones as well as bungalows.

Good place for couples as much as families. Oh, and the best part that I found missing in most of the places in Laos – they pay attention to small details to make a guest’s stay perfect!

The prices start at around 70$.
