Luang Prabang in north-central Laos is a town we keep saying is really a place to visit, and now they're even getting yet another boutique hotel. The Villa Maly is due to open on October 1.

Since Luang Prabang is the old royal capital of Laos, then it's not so unusual to create a hotel out of the ex-residence of a local prince, which is what's happened with the Villa Maly. They've created 33 rooms spread across five buildings and it's all a mix of Laotian architecture and French and British colonial influences. Five of the rooms are deluxe and have their own balconies and views over the gardens and pool.

Villa Maly is modern enough, we're pleased to say, to include stuff like WiFi, rain showers and air-conditioning in every room. But until the opening is upon us, we can't seem to get info on how much each room will set us back so stay tuned.

    Villa Maly forget it!!!

    Villa Maly touts itself as being a five star resort. My impression of this hotel would hardly rate it two. There is nothing colonial about the hotel apart from the rather stuffy furniture, I dont know who designed it but I thought all the tables in the room and the lamps in reception were overkill. Service at the restaurant was terrible, I waited 45 minutes for my simple lunch and was the only customer. When I asked the staff for room rates they could not give me an answer and told me to come back the next day!!! One employee was wearing shorts and flip flops like a day at Phuket beach...Le Residence Phou Vao is a much more professional hotel and the service is great. Villa Maly is dead before it begins...
