Zuela Guesthouse

The matrass was foam, had a hole where laying down. The shower had almost no pressure. The door did not good close, because it was a kicked in door, that was poorly repaired. Only positive was the service of the staff, and the guesthouse restaurant. Dont reccomend to sleep in that guesthouse

Hotel is not as expected , water pressure fit shower is so small , breakfast is too simple

Très bon emplacement et atmosphère agréable. Si ce n'était le gérant, peu coopératif. Je vous déconseille fortement de réserver un billet de train ou de bus via l'hôtel. La commission est très importante : à titre d'exemple le billet de train (pour Luang Prabang) + transport vers la gare est proposé à 840 000 tandis qu'en me débrouillant seul j'en ai eu pour 512 000 .... Identiquement pour tout autre service supplémentaire à la chambre. Donc bel hôtel mais service désagréable, voir agressif.

Bien situé Ptopre Rien a dire bien

I write this review while staying at the guesthouse for the second time this month. My sister and I are seasoned Asian travellers and find this guesthouse to be delightful and everything we expected. Located just off the main road in a side alley, it is amazingly quiet and peaceful. The staff is friendly and very helpful. Rooms are cleaned daily, the laundry service is excellent and fast and the included breakfast is the best we have had in Laos. There are even four different breakfast options you can choose from. Our room is small but cozy, with a good bed and comforters. Hot water in the shower is always available. There is even a refill water station so you don’t have to deal with those polluting plastic water bottles that proliferate. The attached restaurant serves great food. Frankly, we have no complaints and highly recommend it to anyone who isn’t expecting a five star hotel at a budget price. Those travellers should limit themselves to Luang Prabang and Vientiane.

We left this hotel after two nights (and stayed two nights only because it was prepaid). This is only the second time ever that we've ever left a hotel early. This is not a hotel or even a hostel, it is a hovel. It is truly terrible - the worst of dozens of hotels we've stayed in SE Asia over the years. Based on the ancient electrical equipment, it must be at least 20 years old, without much maintenance. We were already aware of how terribly noisy the place is, as well as the unfriendly staff from previous reviews, but we were not prepared for how disgusting the room was! The room was very old, smelled bad, poorly maintained with broken furniture, the bed did not have a real mattress (only a foam pad), the bedding was not very clean (we suspect they don't change the bedding), the door security latch was broken, towels smelled bad, bathroom had cobwebs and did not even have any soap, there was only a filthy floor mat and there were mosquitoes in the room. We were just praying that there would be no bedbugs! Also, do not rent motorcycles from the rude boy at the reception. It was the most expensive rental of our month long stay in Laos - for an old, very beat up gas guzzling scooter.
