Kounsavan Guest House

I booked a private room with my own shower and bathroom, and a little terrace, where I had my breakfast. It was clean and comfortable. 
There is a swimming pool, where you can relax after a long day.
I traveled alone and this is a good place to meet people.
You can rent a motorbike just nearby the guesthouse.
Night market is very close.

This guesthouse (which I thought was a hostel) it's a bit of both. It's in a brilliant location. There is a shop next door (be careful the man tried to over charge us). It is very close to food market which turns into night market at night, I would recommend you visit there. 
It is also close to the temples and museum (walking distances). 
You can book sleeper buses/mini vans and vip buses through them good price.  You can even rent scooters. 

The pool here is lovely to relax at for a day or two. The food for breakfast is simple 5 choices nice and easy. I tried half of them and they were nice. 

You can also book tours from here are good prices. 

The staff are lovely and friendly, we had originally only planned to stay a few nights. I sadly fell off my scooter which prevented me from walking for a while. My boyfriend and I were easily accommodated by this, staff even helped at the time of the incident. 

Do not be put off by the bad reviews okay there are a few things that are broken but everywhere has a few things that are broken. It's a really good price and very good to meet others. If I were to return to Luang Prabang I would 100% stay here. 

First of all, people should realize that this is a hostel, with a wing of private rooms. As such, it has a hostel atmosphere, which I enjoy and others might not. It is clean, if a little shop worn. It has a good location, close to the night market. It has an inviting swimming pool, but be aware that there is no ladder. If you are going for the pool, make sure you are young/and/or limber enough to hop out and maintain your dignity. I stayed in one of the private rooms. I stayed during the Lunar New Year holidays, when everything in town was booked out and double priced. Otherwise the price is fair for a private room. The room comes with a free breakfast, which is good. I would have given it an average rating, but for the staff, who are friendly and helpful. For me, that is enough to boost the rating to very good.

Nice guesthouse

A comfortable place

Brilliant for travellers 

As a solo traveller, this hostel was great for meeting people and socialising. The common area is always full of people, which actually is a bit noisy at night. It’s what I’d consider to be a party hostel. There’s no night life in Luang Prabang except for a bowling alley, so most people drink and play games in big groups in the hostel common area. 

I stayed in a four-bed dorm. There were no lockers or any kind of security. The air conditioning is turned off all day, so if you’re not well or want to lie down for a rest during the day it’s impossible as it’s very hot. The bathrooms are connected to the common area, and are disgusting – almost unusable. 

The hostel is in a really good location, within walking distance to the main part of town, and very close to the night market.

Good for location and socialising, nothing else

This is the worst hotel I have stayed at, I was expecting basic but it is filthy with broken things everywhere that they seem to have no inclination to fix.
I have never seen so many cobwebs outside a ghost train. Dirty mats at door and by bathroom. Broken clothes rail. The bedding and mosquito net had lots of rips. 
The bathroom door couldn't be opened properly as the shower rail had moved down. Not even sure why there was a rail as there was no curtain. No grout in floor tiles so it wasn't clean. Ceiling was mouldy and dripped through the night.  Toilet roll holder was broken and only half a roll given. 
Complained but manager wouldn't do anything. No otherrooms available.  Tried to get another hotel but no availability at this point so we had to stay.
Pool area has lots of broken sunloungers.  No steps into pool.  Lots of cracked, sharp edges. Wifi is very temperamental. 
Breakfast was basic. No milk for tea/coffee only a disgusting creamer. They kept turning off the fridge in our room.
Only good thing is the location.
