Zuela Guesthouse

Hotel is not as expected , water pressure fit shower is so small , breakfast is too simple

The matrass was foam, had a hole where laying down. The shower had almost no pressure. The door did not good close, because it was a kicked in door, that was poorly repaired. Only positive was the service of the staff, and the guesthouse restaurant. Dont reccomend to sleep in that guesthouse

Zuela Guesthouse is located at the very center of the small town of Luang Namtha. It’s right opposite to the Night Market which is great for a late night dinner after a long trek. Around the guesthouse are also all the major tour agencies with whom you can book tours. The place itself is nice, with traditional wooden architecture and nice bedrooms. Operating staff is very young and a bit inexperienced, so it can take a bit longer to get things through, but not a major issue to enjoy the stay. Breakfast has 4 different choices, each one is good. Beds are relatively comfortable but could use an upgrade in terms of mattresses and insulating rooms from outside. Big plus, they offer mountain bikes, scooters as well as dirt bikes for rent! Overall a very nice stay keeping in mind the location and the very limited options around.

Bien situé Ptopre Rien a dire bien

We left this hotel after two nights (and stayed two nights only because it was prepaid). This is only the second time ever that we've ever left a hotel early. This is not a hotel or even a hostel, it is a hovel. It is truly terrible - the worst of dozens of hotels we've stayed in SE Asia over the years. Based on the ancient electrical equipment, it must be at least 20 years old, without much maintenance. We were already aware of how terribly noisy the place is, as well as the unfriendly staff from previous reviews, but we were not prepared for how disgusting the room was! The room was very old, smelled bad, poorly maintained with broken furniture, the bed did not have a real mattress (only a foam pad), the bedding was not very clean (we suspect they don't change the bedding), the door security latch was broken, towels smelled bad, bathroom had cobwebs and did not even have any soap, there was only a filthy floor mat and there were mosquitoes in the room. We were just praying that there would be no bedbugs! Also, do not rent motorcycles from the rude boy at the reception. It was the most expensive rental of our month long stay in Laos - for an old, very beat up gas guzzling scooter.

Didn’t stay here but ate here a couple of times. I liked the tranquility of the place as it’s set back a bit from the main road and the prices are good as is the food. WiFi worked well the first time such I could make a WhatsApp phone call but not the second time.
