Luang Prabang is a comfortable and cozy town with a strong historical and cultural atmosphere, suitable for slow-paced travel. For this reason, it is particularly important to choose a comfortable and suitable hotel.
In terms of environment, Jinglan Hotel is indeed worthy of a five-star recommendation. The hotel is built on a small hill near the city center. It is quiet in the bustling city. In the evening, sitting in the open-air restaurant facing the old city and ordering a drink, overlooking the mountains in the distance, it can be said to be refreshing and full of seclusion.
The terrace mountain view room I stayed in this time is not located in the main building, but in the single-story building on the side. The room area is acceptable, the balcony is spacious but the view is average (there is a shabby residential building under my feet, and the mountain view in the distance is good), and the room type will be recommended overall.
There are still some deficiencies in hardware and hygiene. Visible dirt was found on the curtains, shower floors, etc., but I personally feel that it is more inclined to poor maintenance rather than cleaning, and the appearance will indeed be greatly reduced. In addition, the sound insulation effect of the room is average, which is related to the building structure and is still within the tolerance range.
Praise the service quality of the hotel. The service staff will take the initiative to provide simple night bed service, including but not limited to making the bed, adjusting the room air conditioner to a suitable temperature, turning on the mosquito repellent, etc. Since the hotel is built on a small hill, it is a little inconvenient to travel. The front desk Bent will take the initiative to help contact the driver to arrange a car, and even include a chartered car service to the Kuangsi Waterfall and scenic spots along the way (of course, the chartered car is charged separately and is not a hotel service), which deserves a big praise!
Overall, the stay experience is comfortable and pleasant. Although there are some flaws in some aspects, the overall flaws are not enough to cover the merits. Of course, if you want to get a similar comfortable experience in Luang Prabang, you don’t have to consider the cost-effectiveness-this is indeed not as good as most domestic resorts.
Finally, as a world cultural heritage in Laos, the ancient city of Luang Prabang deserves to be on the list of every travel enthusiast, and Jinglan Hotel is also a choice to ensure travel comfort and safety.
