Fodor's Expert Review Rattana Guest House
Koksack St., 3/2 Ban What That, Luang Prabang, Louangphabang, Laos
Family-run guesthouses are common in Luang Prabang, but this one stands out for making patrons feel right at home. The Rattana sisters, Somsanith and Somporn, their mother, and their adopted daughter are extremely knowledgeable and helpful (one sister works for an established tour operator, the other is a doctor). Rooms are bright, clean, and comfortable. Rooms 101 and 102 have small balconies; note that 102 has a detached, though private, bath. There's no restaurant.
PROS
- spotlessly clean
- new building with teak floors
- firm mattresses
CONS
- very basic
- smallish rooms in new wing
- no views
