Review: Great hotel. Super location by the Mekong. Also next door to an excellent restaurant-Ock Pop Tok. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Shuttle into town was easy.

Review: We had a wonderful time at Hillside Lodge. It is in stunning countryside (note there is a slightly bumpy 20-30 minute drive from Luang Prabang but we found this to be an added part of the adventure) with a great pool to cool down in either after a days activity or to relax around all day. The team are amazing and weren’t super helpful in arranging transfers and activities.

Parasol Blanc Luang Prabang

A traditional-style building with a tiled roof, surrounded by lush greenery and a pond with lily pads.

Location: Luang Prabang
Review: Welcomed to the hotel with juice, warm towel and an even warmer welcome. Check in was fast and efficient. I loved the complementary water was in glass bottles and breakfast was cooked fresh to order instead of buffet style. The ingredients were good quality too. The grounds were beautiful and very relaxing, I would stay here again.

Location: Luang Prabang
Review: Our first time in Laos and Luang Prabang. The hotel is just 15 mins from the airport and for a small fee the staff will pick you up. The hotel is just out of the main town area but a 10-15 minute walk can get you to the night market or you can use one of the many push bikes. A regular shuttle takes and picks you up to the Post Office. The hotel staff are incredibly polite like alll Laoation people and can't do enough for you. The breakfast is really nice with a blend of local and western foods..., by William, 4 December 2017, rated 10/10 Excellent
