Le Grand Pakbeng arvostelua

Роскошный отель в лаосской глуши. Мы приплыли на медленной лодке и встретили там новогоднюю ночь. К сожалению, никакого праздничного мероприятия в отеле не проводилось, это слегка огорчило, потому что в деревне делать абсолютно нечего. Больше про путешествие по Лаосу в tg-канале MarsyTravel О самом отеле: – он находится дальше всех от причала, при заезде встречает электро-машинка, но дальше если захотите прогуляться в центр деревни придется идти пешком по темноте и горкам минут 15 - отель на горе, будет немного физкультуры сходить до бассейна или ресторана -завтрак вкусный и щедрый -бунгало чудесный с отличным видом, но ограниченным запасом горячей воды -вода в бассейне без подогрева довольно холодная

This was our accommodation only for 1 night in between boat cruising to Luang Prabang. We arrived around sundown by van with others from our boat and I happened to be first to the desk to check in, up some rather steep stairs. The manager just stared at me (no greeting) as I handed him my passport. Without a word, he made a copy, shoved a paper for me to sign and a key while another staff member was taking others' passports over my shoulder. When I asked which way to our room, he vaguely pointed to the right without looking up. He offered no additional instructions as one usually receives when checking in, no help with luggage, nothing. I asked if he had a map of the grounds and he said no. Luckily a bellman saw us struggling with a suitcase and showed us to our bungalow, which was on the lower level, down a steep, uneven, gravelly road. As we were headed there I noticed that the restaurant was at the top of another rather long and steep hill from the check in area and asked if we had to now walk back up two steep hills to dinner. He said we could call the front desk for a ride when we were ready. Our room was lovely and spacious. A/C was cool. The shower hot water ran cold after 10 mins but after waiting for about 20 mins it was back to hot again for a second shower. We got settled in a bit and were ready for dinner. We called for a ride and waited 15 mins...no one showed up, so we walked and were winded, sweaty, and pissed when we arrived to dinner. Dinner was a buffet, it was ok. We stopped by the office on the way back to our room to ask about luggage pick up in the morning. The manager that I encountered earlier was now very pleasant and smiling and happy to pick up our luggage. He also had someone give us a ride back that night. I don't know, jobs are stressful, but I feel like checking in groups of people coming of these cruising boats is probably pretty routine. The next day we were picked up along with our luggage, dropped off at breakfast and headed back to our boat.

The views from our room overlooking the river was lovely. The pool was okay and pretty cold. However it was let down by poor quality food. The dinner was a buffet and mediocre at best and the breakfast not a lot better. The staff were not particularly friendly.

Hotel splendide mais excentré, loin du centre mais navettes à disposition. Les chambres sont en contre bas du loggy et du restaurant, bcp de marche à gravir. La piscine est magnifique. Le nourriture n'est pas à la hauteur de la beauté de l'hôtel. Les prix sont en dollars et sont équivalents à ceux pratiqués en France (un mojito 8€).

Check in is quick with a welcome drink and a cold towel. We had a cabin just by the main arrival parking and it was well places, other guests complained about the hill lower down towards the river and issue with getting a buggy to collect them. The room is massive with Aircon and a ceiling fan, but there's no in room safe. The wet room shower space is glorious, although we had issues getting the water temperature right as it was too hot to be comfortable at times. We arrived just as the sun had set and didn't have time to use the pool. Our dinner was included with our package and it was ok, a buffet style. The ala carte menu was priced in dollars and looked expensive all things considered. If your boat leaves early, breakfast started at 6:30 so we could have a reasonable meal before rejoining our cruise. With hindsight 2 nights would have been better than just 1.

The hotel has a great location at a midpoint on the Mekong from the Thai border crossing and Luang Prabang . It’s a good choice from those available with comfortable rooms , aircon , beds and decent shower . If occupancy allowed it could benefit from some investment to raise the levels a notch . The pool has great views of the river and sunset .. but it isn’t heated so even in the hot afternoon it was pretty bracing The food and drink selection could be improved . Our best course was a noodle soup breakfast but the evening set meal was fairly lacking in taste or imagination and could be so much better . Our boat that brought us to the hotel had home cooked Lao food showing what can be provided from a cuisine where simple fresh ingredients are brought to life

What an amazing hotel to stay in after the first day of our Mekong river cruise! Our bungalow had floor to ceiling windows in the bedroom and shower with the most stunning views of the river - the sunset which was just as we arrived was breathtaking! The room was lovely with toiletries, robes and tea and coffee making facilities. We had our own private veranda overlooking the river and the staff brought our pre-dinner drinks to us so we could sip them whilst enjoying the view. The owner was ever present and addressed every guest by name (no mean feat with so many guests). The only let down was that the food was just ok, my croissant at breakfast wasn’t thoroughly cooked, but that is a minor thing. I would 100% recommend!

The hotel is very beautiful, so romantic for the couple. Nice view from the pool. The room is big, high ceiling, comfy bed. Good water pressure. The atmosphere is very nice, stunning view over looking Mekong river. Staffs are very helpful. Good flavorful food. Highly recommended

Amazing. Pictures are not fully capturing the beauty of the place and the spectacular view. Beautiful room, service was impeccable and food was also very good both at dinner and breakfast. Definitely recommended. ....................

If you pass Pakbeng on your Mekong river tour this is a lovely hotel for both singles and couple. My recommendation is that you stay at least two nights, so you can both see and feel the atmosphere of Pakbeng. The rooms are superb and very well kept for a hotel that is 8 years. The staff is even more superb. Very very friendly and whenever you need something they help you immediately. The pool area is great with a beautiful view over the river. For us ( we stayed 4 nights) the menu can be a little more creative. Mostly standard Thai/Laos style. Don’t miss this fancy hotel in small Pakbeng and try to stay 2 nights

Great views The rooms were big and had everything you need. Nice views too and lovely pool. The food was basic in the restaurant but it’s probably no different to any food you would get in the area. If it was served hot it would be a huge improvement. We skipped breakfast to avoid further disappointment so they gave us a packed breakfast to take on the boat, not great food but great that they made the effort. It felt a bit overpriced for the area.

Nos alojamos en este lugar recóndito porque hicimos parada nocturna en un crucero por el Mekong. Es un resort precioso, ya un poco envejecido. Se nota que resulta imposible cuidar de cada habitación, precisamente porque cada habitación es una villa separada, enorme y con un techo altísimo. La ducha es espectacular, con un ventanal con vistas al Mekong. El único problema es la presencia de mosquitos y otro tipo de fauna en la habitación. Los geckos son bienvenidos ya que comen mosquitos, las arañas no tanto. Excepto este detalle, el hotel es muy bonito, por la piscina, por las vistas, por la distribución de los propios edificios. Fuimos en temporada baja, y eso le daba aun más encanto, con el hotel a medio gas. Aun así, nos dieron una cena deliciosa y un muy buen desayuno. Recomendable.

This Resort is set upon a rise with specular views looking down onto the Mekong River. From our room and balcony, we were able to enjoy this vista through the leafy trees. The whole complex nestles into the landscaped gardens, with the Restaurant and pool at the top. Our room was spacious spotlessly clean and well air conditioned. We were able to dine under the sky with great views, the food was well prepared and Menu extensive. Staff were young and just so attentive and personal all overseen by Sharif the Manager who is the Resorts number one asset. Le Grand also offer part and full day tours.

Hôtel d’une nuit sur la descente en bateau sur Luang Prabang. Tout confort pour cette petit ville. Un petit peu excentré mais navette à la demande. Chambre confortable et vue magnifique sur le Mékong. La meilleure adresse locale. Personnel très sympathique et soucieux de bien faire! Restauration moyenne. Bref on recommande pour une nuit.
