This is a great location and facility for a first time traveller on a short visit to Luang Prabang. You are right next to the evening food market and beginning of the evening handicraft market, across from Phousi Hill, two block away from the former Royal Palace and now museum, a block away from the Centre for Ethnology, a block...

We stayed in the location away from the night market, on the second floor, the "PIG" room and it was very nice, large and clean, on the main street. Noise was not a problem after 10 pm. You had to keep the shutters closed for privacy, but the lighting was adequate and the plumbing OK. The breakfast was North American... More

Enchanting, perhaps, because Luang Prabang is so magical. This hotel has two locations, one next to The NIght Market and other several blocks away in a quieter, less touristy part of town where we stayed. The room was great -- simple, tasteful decoration, two windows with shutters, comfortable bed and a little balcony overlooking the street. This was a great... More

I stayed in December 2012 for an initial three nights & then returned after a trip for a further two nights. On both occasions I had rooms facing the back of the hotel which meant I had no noise from the main street at the front. There is a open rooftop lounge which has a small office but is a... More

We stayed one night, and due to what we think was an administrative mix-up we ended up with a lovely, large room with a huge bath. The staff was courteous and helpful, the room beautifully decorated and perfectly clean, and we were literally right in the dazzling Night Market. We had drinks in the restaurant and enjoyed the wonderful service... More

We stayed here 5 nights (had the "horse" room on the 2nd floor facing the night market). The hotel is located next to the night market, you have a very nice view from your balcony and can enjoy the busy street with lots of vendours. The noise from the street didn't bother us at all, we rather enjoyed the life... More

We booked two rooms with the Ancient Luang Prabang two months before our family of 4 arrived off the night plane. As we checked in, we were asked whether we wanted to pay for our 6 night stay up-front, or later. If later, we were told we had to leave our passports with the hotel. This hadn't happened anywhere else... More

This is for the location away from the night market: I stayed in a ground floor room, and although it was beautifully decorated, the shutters have to be closed at pretty much all times or anyone walking by will be able to see you having a bath or sleeping or walking around naked or ... :) I don't get the...

I really liked this hotel because it was right in the middle of the night market, but a couple of my traveling companions had a problem with the noise. So choose your room carefully! I stayed for 4 nights in the "rabbit" room - rooms are named for the 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac - and it was spacious,... More
