“Stayed at the Apsara for 5 nights – room on second floor with a view over the Nam Khan river. Accommodation comfortable and the breakfast served in the other, main hotel building – usually by the manager Mr Lum – was a great start to each day. The second floor rooms in the separate building share a balcony which has seats that allow you to watch the world go by. The hotel is located very close to the main road of the old town – a quick walk up interesting lane ways but far enough away to not be bothered by the crowds who go to the alms giving each morning. The Apsara is located very close to several very good/authentic restaurants and has its own restaurant.
The only negative issue worth noting was the floor boards creak very loudly and we couldn’t find a route to avoid the creaking ones....our neighbours would have heard us moving around as we heard them, but it was a small issue.
Overall we were very happy with our choice of accommodation in Luang Prabang – close enough to all the action without being in the middle of it.”
