After having recently told you about my accommodation in Chiang Mai, today I am offering you a short visit to my exceptional hotel in Luang Prabeng, Laos. I will tell you more about this city of major importance to Buddhists. A city that I really appreciated and the hotel in which I had the chance to stay: Satri House, is not for nothing!
Satri House, a setting above all
I will start my visit to Satri House with its setting. We will talk about its location a little later. The hotel is housed in an old colonial mansion, renovated and then enlarged in the 2000s to reach its current size. The hotel has 28 rooms as well as 3 suites, located in 6 different buildings.
The place literally exudes calm and serenity. At the entrance is a pool of water with lush vegetation all around. The setting is simply magnificent. To reach our room located in one of the buildings furthest from the reception, we cross various carefully decorated corridors, patios, pass next to the two swimming pools available to the hotel as well as small flower gardens.
The buildings are far enough apart to make room for large green spaces that reinforce this feeling of serenity.
Room and breakfast
Now let’s move on to visiting the rooms. These are spacious, relatively large and tastefully decorated. The decoration is in keeping with the colonial style of the hotel, a high ceiling height reinforces this feeling of space.
The bathroom is also a good size, equipped with a walk-in shower and a large bathtub!
Let me tell you about breakfast. This is taken in a truly sumptuous, peaceful setting, with a view of the hotel pool. It is hearty and refined, you have the choice between different types of breakfast, with many possible accompaniments.
Location and service
The hotel is located slightly outside of town, about a 10-minute walk from the center of Luang Prabeng. This off-center location allows it to be in a quiet place, far from the main traffic axes of the city, in a small street. To get around from the hotel, nothing could be easier, it offers bicycles for guests’ use. Alternatively, tuk-tuk are located less than 5 minutes walk from the hotel.
The hotel has all the services expected of a hotel of this standard. A laundry service, a bar, efficient WiFi access, a small shop with many items such as jewelry or decorative items.
My opinion on Satri House in Luang Prabeng
We had a pleasant stay at this very quiet and peaceful hotel. The setting is the number one asset of this hotel. Its small lounges, its water basins and its ubiquitous vegetation make the charm of this unique place. Quiet but only a short 10 minute walk from the bustling center of Luang Prabeng, Satri House will be a perfect place to enjoy the charms of the city in a peaceful and relaxing setting.
