I really didn't want to leave after staying here... If I had to choose just one place to stay in Luang Prabang, I would definitely recommend MyBanLao! I stayed at three hotels: MyBanLao, Luang Prabang Grand Hotel, and Sanctuary Hotel. Overall, MyBanLao wins! Transportation: 1️⃣ MyBanLao - Free shuttle service available anytime - Offers station transfers for stays of two nights or more 2️⃣ Luang Prabang Grand Hotel - Free shuttle every two hours (just a large minibus) - One evening when we boarded, the bus was full and others had to wait for its return trip 3️⃣ Sanctuary Hotel - No shuttle service available Note: In Luang Prabang, transportation is usually by tuk-tuk (tutu) and requires bargaining!! I didn't know at first, but after encountering an overpriced ride at the hotel entrance once, I started bargaining every time - probably could've bargained even lower (since they agreed immediately to my first low offer). That's why I recommend MyBanLao - it saves so much energy on transportation without needing excessive communication. Location: - Luang Prabang Grand Hotel is far from downtown - Sanctuary Hotel is closest but requires walking - MyBanLao has shuttles and takes the least time
