Royal Peacock Boutique Hotel

“Good location while Visiting Luang Prabang”

The hotel has a very good location, room was clean and comfortable with good hot water. Breakfast is a set menu with fruits, eggs, bacon, ham, bread and coffee. Enough for me . Staff is friendly and try to help as much as they could. I would suggest trying to stay on the 2nd floor, our first room … more

The hotel has a very good location, room was clean and comfortable with good hot water. Breakfast is a set menu with fruits, eggs, bacon, ham, bread and coffee. Enough for me . Staff is friendly and try to help as much as they could. I would suggest trying to stay on the 2nd floor, our first room was on the ground floor and It smelled musty, but after we asked they changed us without any problem. My only suggestion is to have someone who knows english more often as the staff don’t understand english and I could feel their frustration as they couldn’t understand us to help us more.

“Nice stay at the Royal Peacock”

Great location in the heart of Luang Prabang, about a 1 minute walk to the Main Street, National Museum and morning market and a 2 minute walk to the Mekong.

Great location in the heart of Luang Prabang, about a 1 minute walk to the Main Street, National Museum and morning market and a 2 minute walk to the Mekong. UNESCO protected building that used to be residence of a relative of a king has been converted into a hotel. Hotel was clean, well furnished and quaint. Breakfast is not a buffet but a set that you order at the desk. I would recommend skipping breakfast at the hotel and eat at the morning market which is right around the corner from the hotel. Hotel was quiet even though it was centrally located. Hotel was full but since it does not have so many rooms, it was not overwhelmed with guests.

“Good choice ”

Good location, this small hotel is right in the city center next to morning and night market. Room and facility is well maintained. Only improvement i can suggest is hot water in shower room is a bit weak. Their staff is real friendly and helpful. I really like this slow life style in this town, e… more

Only improvement i can suggest is hot water in shower room is a bit weak. Their staff is real friendly and helpful. I really like this slow life style in this town, especially in a bit chill season.

“Perfect Location, Nice Room”

Only 15-20 mins from the airport, this hotel is centrally located..., short walking distances to the Morning Market, Night Market and Mekong River. Room was very nice.

“It could be better”

I took a taxi from the airport for $10 instead of booking through the hotel which was quoted $12. The hotel is at its best location possible. You roll out of right of the bed, there’s night market, you roll out of left side of the bed, there’s morning market, you get my point. Coffee shops, restau… more

I took a taxi from the airport for $10 instead of booking through the hotel which was quoted $12. The hotel is at its best location possible. You roll out of right of the bed, there’s night market, you roll out of left side of the bed, there’s morning market, you get my point. Coffee shops, restaurants, alms giving tour operators, bike rentals are within 10 mins walk depending on how far you want to walk on the Main Street. The food court and the post office is about 15 minutes walk. I was surprised to see that the post office was open Sunday evening. Overall, the town and the hotel area felt pretty safe at night, before midnight. One of my suggestions for the hotel is to upgrade the towels like some other fellow travelers have suggested. It would have been nice if the hotel had bike rentals for $2 like other hotels/hostels since the town is so bikeable. The reception staff did mention they can rent me a bike from town for $4. Although, I didn’t spend much time in the room during the day, it would have been nice to have blinds that you can open to let the lights in and have screens to prevent the mosquitoes from coming in. At one point when I stopped by at 10 am to grab something from my room, there was no power and water. It was dark in the room when I had to look for things. The only option was to open the windows but it also meant letting the mosquitoes in. I didn’t have time to complain to the front desk about the power and water as I had to run out. Other than that, although the staff were very polite, they seemed green in then realm of hospitality. When requested to make a reservation for dinner at a restaurant for the night, they just said they didn’t have the restaurant’s number.
