Luang Prabang Pangkham Lodge Reviews

I spent three nights here in January. The hotel is simple but the wooden staircase, floors, etc. are lovely and adds a bit of charm and character that is often lacking from other budget accommodations. The rooms are comfortable, tastefully decorated, and well-appointed. It had more amenities than I typically come across. Such as a refrigerator, electric kettle, and complimentary coffee and tea. The bedding, pillows, linen, and towels were in good condition. The hot water and wi-fi worked well. Unfortunately, the room was very small with no place for luggage. To solve this problem I choose a room with a balcony and used the balcony as a living room and luggage storage area. The bathroom was also problematic. Whoever designed it had no idea what they were doing. The vanity was far too big with the wrong type of faucet for that particular sink. The bathroom door only opened halfway. The toilet was crammed in behind the vanity. It would have been very awkward for large people to use. The walk-in room rate was quoted in USD but I wanted to pay by credit card. After the currency conversion, and 3% C.C. fee, the room cost me $39 USD per night. At this price, the hotel really only warrants three out of five dots on the TA scale.
