"Went to stay at Mad Monkey for 3 days in the shared dorm for the doublebed room for couples. It was some lovely people and very helpful staf. It has happy hour for 4 hours a day, you get a free drink when arriving and they have aircon in the rooms. The rooms are still warm but feel quite private.
We enojyed the pool area, especially at night where you could look at the stars and swim around before going to bed.

"The staff is attentive and gracious. The upstairs room with balcony, very nice though the room often needed better sweeping.
My impression is many people come for the weekend
—washing and hanging clothes everywhere and couples with screaming children who take over the pool.
Otherwise it’s a very lovely spot, great location."
"Central location, friendly and attentive staff. Great breakfast to start you off for the day. Excellence aircon in room, spotless clean. Giving of alms is right outside the hotel. Offered laundry service and transfers at reasonable cost. Only gripes, room quite dark and no tv. "
"Unfortunately I have to say that this was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had, in particular considering the expectations and the price paid (I paid USD 500 for two nights in the Junior Suite).
I’ve traveled extensively in Southeast Asia (Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Philippines) and for USD 250 per night you always get an amazing white glove experience.
The only outstanding feature here was the breakfast (although even here freshly squeezed orange juice instead of a tetra pak would have been nice considering the price).
The room was unfortunately not up to scratch. It wasn’t the advertised 45 square meters. The bathroom was just absolutely underwhelming and in need of renovation and maintenance (see pictures attached). All the details were just not up to standard (e.g. instead of some brand toiletries or at least nice ceramic dispensers, you had the cheapest IKEA plastic containers; no surprise given the Swedish ownership I guess).
They obviously bank on the location, but given that Luang Prabang is a peninsula between two rivers, basically half of all places have river view. And it’s not like it’s a private shore. There’s still a street and a park in between with lots of random people gawking up at your balcony.
Unfortunately this place was an absolute waste of money and disappointment. There are lots of other nice places (either at half the price or at a much higher standard) in LP.
Lastly I want to say that the staff did their best and are not at fault. "
"Wonderful family who runs this property. Everything is clean and tidy. There is a small boat—a 2 minute walk—that takes you across the river to avoid the mile long walk. Clean hotel! "
"Oh this place provides amazing customer service. Spacious and clean room. Delicious breakfast especially their Chicken Fried rice! Location was close to everything - the Mekong river, the famous temples, the alms ceremony and night market / shops.
I would also like to give a huge shout out to our check-in staff Ken, he went above and beyond to make our stay the most amazing one. He accommodated to split our bed for two people. He was our barista who made our Margarita drink, and our welcome lemongrass drink He served us food in the buffet breakfast. And lastly, he drove us back to the airport.
Overall, I would really recommend this hotel for everyone who wants to visit Luang Prabang. A+++"
