Our group of eight OAT stayed here 4 nights. My room was lovely-clean, roomy, great bathroom, etc. One guest was unhappy hearing the roosters crowing and was able to move to a different room. Another couldn't get the safe to work and that was remedied. The staff appeared to be VERY VERY young, but that's probably the way it is in Laos. The lobby Internet worked most of the time. Loved having coffee/tea making in my room. Breakfast across the street was great. Close enough to walk to most everything.

I stayed here for 2 nights and the hotel exceeded expectations. I had read the earlier reviews on this hotel and was a bit leery but everything was fine. Sure , the tub had a lip on it that caused water to tflow onto the floor but directing the spray into the tub solved that problem . Its a typical problem in these parts. The aircon was fine. The controls arr easy to access. The food in the restaurant across the street was very good and the staff very attentive, The rooms are spacious with wide plank floors. We had a balcony that was enjoyable. There were places to put your suitcase, a small safe in the room and very plush robes. Two night tables were in place and a small fridge was provided. There is free wi-fi and two stations in the lobby for use. Overall a very nice stay.

I stayed here with my fiancee in a room next door to my sister and her husband and really enjoyed the experience and relaxed atmosphere here- so amazing to come home to after a day of cycling around the village in the humidity.
There are some bad reviews on here which I dont believe are fair- Muang Thong was a really restful, nice hotel. True, you probably dont get some of the mod cons you might expect in a western location- but I didnt want for anything! Cant say I noticed lack of remote controls- probably distracted by the beautiful pool view. The elegant, simple but very comfortable room was more than I expected- admittedly when i travel I like to experience the local culture, and I enjoy a bit of "rustic luxury" far more than I enjoy a 5 star Hilton experience!

Our greeting was in broken english but so welcoming- with a small welcome ceremony on arrival and big smiles from the staff. we were shown to our rooms which were mostly timber with warm texile furnishings and a small balcony with a great view of the blue pool and courtyard. We had adjoining rooms and balconies which was great- an evening drink on our balconies was a nightly event!
Breakfast quite nice in their restaurant across the road. Staff though not fluent in English are genuinely so helpful.
Location was so perfect- very short walk (or cycle) to the night market and also en route for the monk's morning journey to collect alms- we walked around to the main street then raced back to the front of the hotel to get both the busy version and small scale version!
Also walking distance to Phosy.
Would recommend Muang Thong to anyone who enjoys travel with the local experience without roughing it.

Side Bar: If you find the Luang Prabang equivalent of a "food court buffet" in the lane next to the bakery, just off the night market street- please do yourselves a favour and ask for Pong, he runs one of the food stalls- he was responsible for one of the most hilarious nights playing petanque with the locals- and his food buffet is a basic set up (even for my love of the local experience) but tasty nonetheless- and he is such a character! after closing time he helped my brother in law put the chain back on his bike- which lead to an experience of some real Laos a few kilometres out of town!! Picture a 50kg Lao man dinking an 85kg Aussie on a bike.... gold.
