We had an absolute fabulous stay at Maison Dalabua. The hotel is simply stunning – it looks exactly like in the pictures, except when you're there, you're just wowed by how everything comes together.
The interior is simple with a nod to Laos culture, it feels calm and serene. You could easily not go anywhere and spend the day at the hotel. The exterior is just wonderful, you're surrounded by greenery and lotus ponds – the restaurant area is the most specular.
The food was amazing, especially the breakfast, with endless options of food to choose between, where some items are different everyday, so no one day is the same. I highly recommend the rice pudding!
The service was impeccable, nothing was too much trouble. The airport pick-up service was smooth, laundry was picked up promptly and returned the same day. Room was always clean and so was the overall feel of the hotel. The pool was great with towels and refreshments at hand. Enjoy between 10-2pm when it's least busy.
You're a short walk from the night market and as you turn around the corner from the hotel you're on the main road that takes you down all the main attractions and restaurants.
What was great is that you're so close to the hustle and bustle but then you return to this little oasis away from the noise – it's the best! I can't recommend this hotel enough, and I would 100% return in the future.
