Reviews and Ratings
Villa Maly is a charming boutique hotel located in a peaceful part of Luang Prabang, offering a unique blend of history and comfort. The rooms have an elegant design with a touch of nostalgia, and the staff, especially Elodie, provide exceptional service that truly enhances the experience. The location is convenient yet serene, making it easy to explore the town. However, it would be nice to have a bit more variety in the dining options to fully enjoy the meals here.
My stay at Villa Maly was a mixed bag. The rooms were spacious and had great air conditioning, but some areas seemed to lack attention to detail, like the paint job. The pool area was a nice touch and offered a peaceful retreat, though the breakfast could improve. Overall, it’s a decent place but requires some updates.
I had a delightful stay at this charming hotel, characterized by its beautiful French Colonial architecture and refreshing pool. The rooms were spacious and inviting, but I found the bathroom quite dim. The morning breakfast was abundant and satisfying. On the downside, I experienced some noise disturbances at night which affected my sleep quality. Overall, it was a great value for money, but bringing earplugs would be wise if you're sensitive to sound.
Villa Maly is a charming boutique hotel that takes you back to the era of French Indochina. The rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated, and the service is exceptional, making me feel right at home. I particularly loved the serene atmosphere and the lovely pool area. However, breakfast could use some improvement, especially in variety. Overall, it’s a peaceful haven close enough to the town’s attractions to be very convenient.
We had a fantastic six-night stay at Villa Malt, perfect for our family of six. The amenities were excellent, especially the breakfast, and the spacious pool provided plenty of fun for the kids. The staff was incredibly friendly and made our experience unforgettable. The only downside was the babysitting service, which is an additional cost, but that didn't take away from our overall enjoyment. I can’t wait to return!
