Kiridara

Kiridara is a beautiful boutique resort, built on the hillside in Luang Prabang, with an infinity pool to ease the heat, wonderful sunset views and amazing Laos cuisine. The hotel staff were attentive and accommodating. The rooms are large and well-equipped. I sipped my morning tea on my private balcony. On the roadside next door is a lovely market with loads of delicious fruit and other food staples. Rides to and from the hotel were graciously provided. The town itself is a lovely mix of French colonial and Laos style, the temples are breathtaking and I highly recommend taking a basket of food stuffs from the hotel and trek out at 5:00-5:30am to participate in the Alms Giving Ceremony at the temples for an amazing glimpse into the traditional and interestingly spiritual Buddhist life of the people.

Kiridara is one of the more beautiful hotels in Luang Prabang.. has great views, good food, nice staff. Only thing to note is that it is not right in town, so you'll need to either take the shuttle or a tuk tuk back and forth. Not a big deal, just make sure you have cash on you for a tuk tuk in case you want to go back early/stay downtown late. The spa was great and very affordable! Have the hotel make restaurant reservations for you when you arrive - all of the good restaurants book up really fast and you need reservations to get a table!

Our family of 6 is currently staying here (I'm writing this from the very comfortable bed) We have 2 rooms next to each other. They helped out with 4 beds in 1 room which was great considering other hotels in Laos haven't understood this request from us prior to arrival. The staff are lovely and speak good English, they are friendly and always smiling. I believe they go the extra mile for us, we had laundry done in town & it was mixed up so the hotel drove us straight there to swap the bags over. That helped a lot. They also drove us to secret pizza at night (and picked us up when we were done) We had use of the push bikes to ride to town (10-15 mins easy ride) The rooms are spacious and the bed was the most comfortable bed EVER. We had a 90 min spa and it was beautiful, very professional and relaxing. We are booked in to have another today (candle wax massage) there are 2 lovely ladies working there. They have us complimentary 5 min massage by the pool also. A couple of small things that could be fixed I think: The toilet in the room smelt constantly The sink in the room leaked (seems like the water flow wasn't fast enough) Breakfast - the eggs Benedict was good but not great. The eggs could be cooked so the yolk is runny & add some more sauce. All in all a beautiful place to stay with great staff Matt & Cath Australia

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights and we wished it was more! The rooms are really lovely, beds very comfortable, waterfall shower and great balcony. The hotel staff are really friendly and helpful. The hotel is situated on the hill so you get great views and amazing sun on the swimming pool all day! The pool area is really good with amazing beds. They run regular shuttle buses to and from the town but you can cycle and tuk tuk as it's less than 2k! Will definitely visit again !

We were upgraded to a suite and had the most amazing experience at Kiridara. The rooms are flat out gorgeous. We spent a lot of time by the pool. The full food and drink menu makes it so you really just don't ever want to leave the hotel. The manager and staff were so friendly that they made you feel at home. You are able to rent bikes right at the hotel and ride all around town. The staff will help set up any kind of activity that you are interested in. The restaurant has some of the best food in the city. I would say this is the best hotel in Luang Prabang.
