We absolutely loved our stay at The sanctuary. We were upgraded to a suite and the room was perfect with traditional style wood throughout. The breakfast was so good, a great choice and good coffee with lots to choose from. The pool was a lovely place to cool off after a hot day sight seeing and I can recommend a visit to their spa for a massage and facial . Lastly the staff are so tentative, kind and more than happy to help with anything you require. We booked for 5 nights and could have stayed longer, we will book back in on our way through luang next week. Thank you

Eco friendly hotel ideally situated in Luang Praba

Due to an admin error on my part we arrived a day earlier than expected, the staff were very helpful and managed to get us into our rooms without any fuss. The hotel is beautiful, centrally located and the staff are very helpful. We had massages in the spa on a couple of days and again the staff were excellent. I cannot recommend this hotel enough.

A real Sanctuary...

I had the pleasure of 8 nights here and an upgraded room also. My room was spacious, tasteful with comfy bed ad I had a generous shower and deep tub. I looked over onto the most stunning lily pond and palm gardens all kept beautifully by the ground staff. The pool was small, unheated, serene and clean. I swam every day. The breakfasts are full of fresh aswell as pastries, fruit with eggs and noodles cooked to order. Overall, a very stylish, central to everything, little oasis where the Asian architecture is nestled in lush greenery, bicycles are plentiful to hire at no charge and staff are extremely polite and helpful. I really loved it here and would recommend it for a restful break, a family stay or a night or two.

Loved it

The hotel is set in gardens and pond. The room we had - upgraded - was spacious and clean with all amenities provided and was next to the swimming pool. The breakfast building is positioned next to the pond and extends over it. The staff there were friendly and helpful. Reception staff were all incredibly polite and assisted with suggestions for our walks around town. We really did enjoy our stay and would definitely come again.

We really loved the Sanctuary Hotel in Luang Prabang. It was truly a sanctuary. A wonderful place to go to each night. Our room was delightful, very spacious and tastefully appointed. The hotel was very handy to all the sites and great restaurants of Luang Prabang. Breakfast at the hotel and also dinner at night in the hotel restaurant was top quality. We highly recommend this hotel.
