I read many of the other reviews on the Ancient before adding mine, which proves to me that you simply cannot keep all the people happy all the time! I enjoyed the Ancient, I got the standard deal on a walk in for low season as posted on their counter. I went in this time as I had been in... more

I really loved this hotel. After staying at the Lane Xang Guest House (which I hated) for three days the Ancient Luang Prabang was an awesome upgrade. The hotel is attached to a cafe that has good coffee. They also rent DVD's you can watch in your room and some of the rooms have a balcony. The hotel is in... more

Great location right in the heart of town, the night market is right out the door and the main temples and Mekong River a short walk. Beautifully decorated rooms and the bathrooms are amazing. Although great, I felt it was a tad over-priced given the local competition, but would stay again either way. more

The Ancient LuangPrabang is in a great location with the night market starting right outside the hotel. We booked a triple and were not disappointed. The room is very large and beautifully decorated. The monks walk past the front of the hotel for their morning alms. Breakfast was good and included in our room price. Their is fast WiFi available... more

Sounded good, looked good when we arrived. The welcome was strange and the price increased by 10USD on arrival due to it being Laos New Year celebrations. It may have been that this time of year was a bad time to visit, but our stay in the ancient did not help. Our biggest gripe was paying the most for our... more

Found this nice hotel while wandering the streets during the Songkran festival. Rooms were much bigger and cleaner than the high-end hotel we had previously booked. So I moved the family (with two kids under 10) into this one to keep them satisfied. Location is central and you may hear a little noise from the downstairs market area, but the... more

We really enjoyed our stay at the contemporary, chic, and centrally located Ancient Luang Prabang. We stayed in The Rat room, which was a corner room on the second floor with a narrow balcony, directly across from the main market on Luang Prabang's main street. (Great for people watching!) Our room was a generous size, and slightly larger than the... more

We stayed here for 3 nights as part of a 3 week trip around vietnam and Laos.We wernt met at the airport as planned,but had no problem in getting a tuk tuk to take us to the hotel.The reception staff were aloof and uninterested when we arrived which I found a bit disappointing but our room on the third floor,despite... more

We had four nights at "The Ancient" (I like the idea that its previous name was "The New") in January and loved it. The rooms aren't numbered, they are named after animals possibly from the Chinese calendar. We were on the top floor in Pig. There were enough stairs to make a fat 50+ think twice about just ducking back... more
