Overlooking the Namkhan river only a few hundred metres away from where it meets the Mekong, the location is as good as it gets. The rooms are well appointed and furnished with local accents in mind. Great bathroom. Probably one of the best wine selections in town. Also a plus many are offered by the glass.

The breakfast was too restrictive to the extent it was either muesli or eggs. I’ve not seen this in Asia where breakfasts tend to be the meal with the most variety and ample volumes and selection. Also, there were no alternative milk options. I stayed at 4 other properties while in L.P. and the Apsara was certainly the noisiest but overall not dramatic.

The Apsara is a lovely characterful building that is very well appointed and in keeping with the style and age. Our room had everything needed for a very comfortable stay (7 nights) and we could have stayed longer. The hotel is well positioned making exploring Luang Prabang easy. Luang Prabang a lovely place to visit and to spend time and staying at the Apsara enhanced this. Good English spoken by the staff and excellent assistance when help needed.

Nothing to add here.

Serene, beautifully designed hotel in a gorgeous setting on the riverfront of the old town. Walk to everything. Pristine room and gorgeously soft sheets. Helpful staff (thank you Loom and Christopher!). Delicious breakfast on the verandah. Lots of good restaurants nearby (we loved Lost in Baan for high-end fusion, Nang Tao for simple noodle soup).

Occasional noise at night (gongs, etc!) but whir of excellent fan provided and/or earplugs resolve this.

Breakfast was included and outstanding! Staff were great, very helpful, also assisted with organizing transportation. The main attraction of the towen, the alms-giving ceremony, as well as the temples, are right by the hotel. Get up at 5am and go see it, respectfully.

The location was a bit noisy during the day, mostly due to work being done to stabilize the river. However, that is a temporary nuisance, and it got very quiet when it mattered, at night.

The staff and managers are so kind and welcoming. The room was comfortable and very clean. The location was perfect- right in the heart of the old town. Though it was incredibly hot while we were visiting in June, being right in the center of town made it easy to return to our room at the hottest parts of the day. We watched the alms giving several times as it was literally a two minute walk to the Main Street. Though the street could be a little noisy with traffic, occasionally, it was never a problem, and in fact it was fun people watching from our ( little) balcony.

This was my fourth time at this hotel over many years. It still retains all its charm and personality. It's in an ideal location and the staff and management offer an experience second to none. I particularly like the fact its understated, quiet but centrally located right next to the river. I have stayed in other places in Luang Prabang but always seem to drift back here. That says a lot. They also have an excellent wine cellar at very reasonable prices

This hotel is wonderful - it has a perfect location on the Nam Khan river in the quiet part of town. The staff were terrific and made us feel so welcome to be staying at their hotel. We has a large balcony room on the upstairs floor with a beautiful view - the bathroom was clean and had everything you need. The bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was fresh fruit and a choice of a cooked option - eggs, pancake etc - with French bread and jam. There is a very well stocked wine cellar and a bar open until 10pm. There isn't a restaurant for lunch or dinner but there are two of the best restaurants in Luang Prabang next door (Tamarind) and next to next door (Coconut Tree). The alms giving to monks happens in the next street each morning and is a one minute walk away. The staff will arrange any transport or day trips as required.

Everything was great.

Location and style - I was slightly disappointed that more use wasn’t made of the bar/dining room by other guests, perhaps there could be some events or special offers to encourage that?

A charming, comfortable, and welcoming place to stay. The Apsara is a real treasure, and a place one would happily return to on future visits.

Good location for walking. Staff were very nice. Breakfast was tasty.

It's an old building with squeaky floors. Room was rather dark and the lighting inside was minimal.
