Luang Prabang International Airport

Symoungkoun Guesthouse

We stayed in a private twin room with AC and an ensuite bathroom. The guest house was easy to find. The taxi driver from the airport knew where it was and its was 50,000 kip ($7 USD) to get there. The place is super clean and the AC worked very well. We even liked it so much we booked another night. 5 min walk to the start of the night market.  1 min walk to the river. Great all around location and experience. 

We had a twin room which was very clean and came with air con and a private bathroom. We had no window but it was spacious and we didn't mind. It was a good location to everything. 

The staff speak very little English. Be careful as we were charged double on arrival. However, we did get this back after  trying to explain to them- they were relucant at first. 

The Guest House was just fully renovated when we checked in so everything is new.  As with other guest houses in Luang Prabang, it was renovated from an old colonial building into a guest house.  In fact, an extension for a deck by the side of the house was being built.  The place is well maintained, Wifi is good.
There is no official breakfast provided but the manager and his friends offer to make coffee, tea and provided biscuit for breakfast.  Coffee was good.  They were friendly and helpful.  Not only provided direction when we need them but helped us to rent bikes, even suggested a new route back into Thailand and help secure tickets.   Manager spoke good English.
Location is great, walking distant to famous temples, lots of other guest houses, shops and restaurants within walking distant, we walked to the night market daily.  In fact, there is a big temple just opposite the Guest House.  All we have to do is open our windows and we can see the daily morning Alms Giving ceremony.

3 days Luang Prabang in October 2015

Stayed here for 2 nights with my partner

Nothing wrong with the room however wasn't cleaned throughout our stay

The rooms are basic (we had a fan room) However walls are paper thin and have a glass panel close to the ceiling meaning if next door turns a light on throughout the night your room lights up too

Free coffee during your stay is a welcome bonus. That being said the guy at reception was useless! Didn't have a clue of room prices or availability when we asked to extend then quoted $5 more than advertised via trip advisor 

The guesthouse is around 1km from the night market and was an easy walk, those with mobility issues should consider this though

Overall nothing drastically wrong but wouldn't stay again 

You can find better

Really disappointed with the guesthouse, information provide on the website does not even match.

We had a bad experienced  on arrival, we were greeted by a girl and the only word she know was NO, as we tired to show her we had a reservation for 4 nights and she still said NO, with her face telling us you are not welcome. 
Finally she showed us a room but we had reservations , room with twin bed and rectulantly, she show us a room upstairs. Room with no amenities, even a towel is no included leave alone coffee and tea.
Again we asked about wifi as it is stated in the website room with wifi, than she called (don't know who he is who could speak some English) and said they don't have wifi as some technical issues, but every other shops along the street has wifi.

Secondly it is quite frightening as you do not know who comes, water leaking in the bathroom, etc even though we paid for 4 nights but after the 2nd night we checked.
