[2024 Luang Prabang Stay] Travel Guide for My BanLao Hotel (Updated Dec)
The hotel in Luang Prabang is so chill
The hotel is well located, adjacent to both the Manolom Temple and the Taloun Temple, within walking distance, as if the ancient ruins are your private garden. In the early morning, the tranquility of the ancient city of Luang Prabang and the elegance of the hotel complement each other, making one feel refreshed and delighted.🚶♀️🚶♂️
🖼️Upon entering the hotel, the exterior is like a fine oil painting, with French architecture paired with harmonious colors, a casual snapshot with the camera feels like a high-quality image. The interior decoration is delicate, making one stop to appreciate it, and every corner exudes an artistic atmosphere.🖼️
🍹The hotel's room service is great! You can enjoy the Asian delicacies of Khemkhong in your room. Or take a stroll to Le Tam Tam Garden, where the exotic cuisine will leave you with an unforgettable taste. The hotel's bar is the ideal place to rest after a day of exploration, with a perfect blend of drinks and music, making the night even more enchanting.🌌

MY BANLAO Hotel is Breathtakingly beautiful❤️
#mybesthotel
The day and night hotels at MY BANLAO in Luang Prabang are fantastic, everything you see and get. For stays of 2 nights or more, you can contact the hotel to arrange airport transfer services. However, there are also vintage car transfers available for worry free travel. There is only one waiter who can speak Chinese, and they can only speak a little bit. Most of them still need to communicate in English. I booked a pool view room on AGODA, and we spent 2580 RMB (including breakfast) together for these three nights.. Luang Prabang is quite safe and there are no issues with normal travel.

My BANLAO Hotel is like a Dream House❤️🥰

Lying flat in a super cool hotel in Luang Prabang really makes me want to go to Laos again. The hotel's swimming pool is really amazing, coupled with a high temperature of almost 40 degrees Celsius, and I want to soak in it every day. The hotel has a stunning view and a unique style. There is a rural front hall, a Kakang County Hall, and a restaurant in the middle. There is a spa and a lotus flower pool in the middle. In the middle, there are guest rooms on both sides of the swimming pool. The rooms are very convenient and comfortable to stay in. The hotel's service is excellent, and every staff member is very polite. In addition to airport/high-speed rail transfers, there are also internal connections and delivery services within the market

I came here for the scenery! It's so beautiful! So beautiful! Thumbs up for you!!!
This place used to be the mansion of the Laotian kingdom's general, a cover for the CIA intelligence center during the war, and now Mybanlao, with a tree-lined path in front of the room and a direct entrance to the swimming pool from the back door. Living here is like living in a painting, and seeing the beautiful hotel every day puts me in a good mood.
1 About transportation
A thumbs up must be given to the hotel's 'vintage car' service. Just scan the QR code, add the hotel WhatsApp, and they will pick you up immediately upon request. During the day, they can take you to restaurants, cafes, attractions in the city center, and at night, they provide a concentrated drop-off to the night market. The hotel also offers airport/high-speed train station transfer services. On the day of arrival, I went to the hotel on my own because I forgot to contact the hotel in advance and it was actually very cheap. When leaving, I informed the front desk one day in advance to arrange a transfer to the high-speed train station at the agreed time.
2 About almsgiving
Almsgiving starts at 5:30, with a gathering in the hotel lobby at 5:20. The vintage car will take you to the designated spot, and if you want to change locations, you can walk there after arrival. The props for almsgiving can be bought on the roadside after getting off the car.
If you stay at Avani+, the hotel will prepare the supplies for you, and the almsgiving spot is right at the hotel entrance. And Avani+ is conveniently located at the entrance of the night market. However, for the beautiful blue and white pool view room, I still chose Mybanlao.
3 About activities
Upon arrival at the hotel, you can check the notice board in the lobby, which is full of various activities, such as cooking classes, sunset cruises, pottery classes, tie-dye experiences, etc., all bookable by scanning a code.
There is a super beautiful sunset cruise that lasts 2 hours and includes a meal (mainly because the boat is too beautiful). Scan the code in the last picture to book, or you might end up with only the uncovered top deck seats (exposed to the sun). The hotel can also help with bookings.
4 About the room
I booked a poolside room on the ground floor, and the back door opens right onto the swimming pool. In the winter, Luang Prabang is around 22 degrees Celsius in the afternoon, which is still suitable for swimming (although the water is a bit cold, decide for yourself based on how strong you feel. I forgot to bring a swimsuit, so I didn't go swimming, alas).
5 About Spa and Laos massage
There is a price list and QR code in the room. Scan to book a Laos massage.
15 USD for 60 minutes, which is about 2-3 times the price outside, and they start with a scrub on your feet. The technique is quite good, and it's friendly for those who don't like it too strong, it won't hurt too much.

The resort hotel in Luang Prabang, Laos is amazing
Before departure, I compared the resort hotels in Luang Prabang, and finally chose the MyBanLao Hotel located in the old city area, which was transformed from the former general's mansion. The Chinese name is Manjiale. The room rate includes breakfast for two, high-speed rail station delivery, and daily free old car shuttle service in the city area. It is the most comfortable and pit-free hotel in our 8-day free trip to northern Laos, with many advantages:
The hotel is beautiful, and you can take many beautiful photos in the hotel;
The front desk speaks good English, and all staff have a good service attitude;
The facilities are complete, including swimming pool, SPA, gym, bar, poolside restaurant, shuttle bus, etc., and the rooms are clean and comfortable;
Provides butler service, which is very worry-free and reliable in Laos where tourism development and management are not very mature. You can let the hotel's old car pick up and drop off in the city area, which is very stylish;
The hotel can also help arrange various travel schedules, which are safe, comfortable and reliable, and the price for several people is not much more expensive than poor travel. You can also rent a Wuling small electric car from the hotel to visit the Guangxi Waterfall.

Spend a French summer 🏝 in the most beautiful hotel in Luang Prabang.
Although impoverished, Luang Prabang is home to a variety of excellent hotels, such as the regal Aman, the stunning Rosewood, the elegant Belmond La Résidence Phou Vao, and the chic Avani+. You can easily enjoy a different high-quality hotel every ten days or so, but when it comes to cost-effectiveness and popularity, MYBANLAO probably takes the top spot.
It's needless to say how popular MYBANLAO is. It was converted from the former US embassy and CIA intelligence center during the Vietnam War and is owned by a Singaporean, Bennyy, who has lived in Laos for over a decade. Singaporeans have their own way of managing hotels and can pay attention to many aspects of service that make guests feel more at home. When you arrive at the hotel, they already welcome you with genuine warmth and enthusiasm, "Welcome to my hotel," which adds to the overall sense of comfort.
During the high season, it is recommended to make a reservation in advance instead of relying on walk-ins, as some bloggers might suggest. Choose a room that opens directly to the pool, where you can plunge into the cool water and beat the scorching heat of Luang Prabang.
The hotel provides vintage cars that can take you to places not far from the hotel. With Luang Prabang's small size, it's almost like you can go anywhere in the city. Usually, they shuttle guests to the night market, and then you can take a leisurely walk back to the hotel. The vintage car is so impressive that you might feel like you're walking down the red carpet when you step out. If you're going to see the alms ceremony the next morning, the hotel can also arrange a shuttle service for you. When we checked out and switched to another hotel, MYBANLAO offered to send us to the new hotel, which demonstrates their remarkable service. In addition, if you book two nights straight, the hotel provides a complimentary airport/station transfer service.
