The Apsara Rive Droite

Excellent service

We had a lovely 4 night stay at The Apsara River Droite. The hotel has an intimate feel with all 8 rooms facing the river and pool area. Our room had a balcony with seating so we could see the passing parade across the river. The room was comfortable and charmingly decorated, if a little dark, especially in the bathroom. The mini bar was the best stocked I’ve ever seen with champagne, prosecco, wine, beer, juice and soft drinks. Breakfast was simple but tasty with choice of two types of eggs, fruit and fresh bread and pastries, homemade jams. There was also a Lao option. As the boat was not in operation to ferry guests across the river, the hotel organised free taxis into town. Mr Han, the hotel manager, was so friendly and helpful and all the staff went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. My only wish would be a hairdryer with some power and separate shampoo & conditioner, not conditioning shampoo. Overall, I would highly recommend this lovely little hotel for a stay in Luang Prabang.

Lovely stylish hotel with fantastic service. As there are only a few rooms, the manager Peehan and his staff provide a really friendly personal service with great restaurant recommendations and a free taxi on demand service to and from the town centre (as current river bank works mean the hotel can’t provide its usual boat transport). Appreciated being a little away from the busy town centre. Delicious breakfast with fresh ingredients and excellent coffee. Spacious room, authentically decorated with a very comfortable bed. Particularly enjoyed the private terrace looking out over the river. Clean, good sized pool is perfect for a dip at the end of the day. Two minute walk to the excellent Dyen Sabai restaurant, so can eat very well locally as well as in the centre of town. Would definitely choose to stay here again.
