Maison Dalabua Hotel

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel—perfect for families looking for comfort and convenience. The garden is absolutely beautiful, peaceful, and well-maintained—our kids loved running around while we relaxed in the serene atmosphere.The location is great, just a few minutes from the town center, making it easy to explore local shops, markets, and restaurants. Despite being close to everything, the hotel still feels quiet and relaxing.The rooms were spotless, spacious, and very comfortable—clearly well taken care of. We especially appreciated the attention to detail and cleanliness.The staff are amazing—warm, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. They made our stay even more memorable by going above and beyond for our family.And the breakfast? Simply superb! A great variety of local and international options, fresh fruits, and delicious coffee or tea’s to start the day right.Highly recommended for families or anyone looking for a cozy, garden-side stay near town!

Maison Dalabua used to be a magical oasis, set in a peaceful tropical garden with picturesque ponds. While the setting still is utterly magic, the hotel owners seem to have shifted their focus from the pre-pandemic one which then was making every effort to give more than their best to make their guests enjoy an atmosphere of serene peace, individual care and “soigné”. The focus seems to be more on making quick money they probably need to stay aloft. Bathroom articles like soap and shampoo that used to be high quality, organic even, now are ordinary shampoos filled straight from the supermarket shampoo bottles. Small surprises of attention like flowers in the room or a surprise tea in the afternoon with a few biscuits - all no more. The most visible drop in quality is the breakfast buffet: no more really fresh bread or croissants, almost no more Laotian specialities, quite ordinary really. I guess it’s a bit similar everywhere in Asia - post-pandemic tourism never really recovered from the survival mode with the then understandable cuts and focuses on quantity now, hence more Asian, Chinese groups in particular at the expense of European style individuality and quality that would also appeal to Asian connaisseurs, just not in masses. It’s a business decision that I can truly understand - it's easy money and in masses. But in my experience during my stay here for three nights now, its consequence means less care for detail and elegance and sacrificing serenity and peace for the crude, average wealthy Asian tourist who looks for bling bling and karaoke and pays well for it. This becomes evident in the hotel’s restaurant which uses loud music and at times even karaoke’-style entertainment for the big groups that arrive in vans. Impossible to escape the beats and the sound of sore voices anywhere in the hotel in the evenings. So, someone like me also needs to take a decision, which is to keep the beautiful memories of Maison Dalabua as it was until a few years ago, but to alas now stay away from it once and for all. I would still like to mention the Dalabua staff who are absolutely wonderful, meek, patient and still smiling even when some guests behave like they behave. So chapeau to Monsieur Raphael for maintaining that special level of his staff. Thank you

You would not think so from view of the frontage but this is a little gem of tranquility lies close to the towns main walking street, temples and other tourist spots. All within a 10 minute walk. Once in the lobby your are greeted by very friendly staff who throughout out 4 nights stay they and others ensured all was well and everything was as perfect as it could be. The management regularly interacted with us too, which was a really nice touch. The hotel itself has magical gardens and a beautiful lotus pond (apparently Dalabue means Lotus Princess) where you are seated for meals. The food was impeccable with great selection for the buffet breakfast. Our room overlooked the swimming pool which was a reasonable size for swimming. The bedroom was comfortable with a fantastic shower room. All in all I could not fault the place. As my wife said its our equivalent of the HBO series White Lotus, not as grandiose but for people that are not millionaires this place will suit you just fine. We will be staying there again on our next trip to Laos. Thankyou to all the staff for a wonderful stay.

The rooms are spacious, the beds comfortable, and the bathroom and shower are wonderful. We even had a double sink.|The most appealing part of this experience was the hotel and restaurant grounds themselves, lotus flowers floating in their private “lagoon”… both the breakfast area and the main restaurant overlooking this Placid oasis with impeccable service and soft and inviting lighting and an extensive cocktail menu. The food and service or remarkable at this restaurant and should not be missed for any stay in Luang Prabang.

First time visit with family, The Maison Dalabua Hotel, is well located for all you will need. The exceptional friendly staff add to an exemplary stay. The pool is well located central with exceptional Bar Service, great for a relax after a busy day. Breakfast to start the day, is set among ponds and shade trees and served to enhance a variety of culinary experience. With bicycle hire available or shuttle from the hotel, getting around is made easy. The local Market is a short walk with so much to offer. I highly recommend to stay here no matter your purpose of the visit, you wont be disappointed.

What a lovely oasis. My friend and I very much enjoyed our stay here. The service was top notch. We both received complimentary 1 hour massages and Sakhone gave me the best massage I’ve had in my 5 weeks in Asia. We also had welcome drinks that allowed us to explore the restaurant. Now the restaurant is the true winner. The food is phenomenal!

LOVED my stay here, this hotel is gorgeous, comfortable, and very clean. The staff is lovely, the beds are comfy, the air con works great, I loved the robes in the room, delicious included breakfast (best coffee I've had in Asia so far), and the pool is beyond magical. I had a lovely day spent reading and splashing around in the pool. The onsite restaurant was delicious for dinner. Great central location in LP as well. HIGHLY recommend staying here!!

I had a very nice stay in the hotel. The grounds are amazing, with a beautiful garden and a nice swimming pool, while the room was also nice and comfortable (I was upgraded due to some construction works). The staff was very friendly. The location is a bit out of town, but easily walkable and in a quiet neighborhood, so overall a good location. Bicycles are provided for free to clients, which is a nice touch.
