3 Nagas by Alila Hotel Luang Prabang Reviews

3 nagas Guest Rating: 3.5

The staff was friendly, sometimes had languague problems, however. The property was clean and well maintained but way to expensive for the quality received. The breakfasts were excellent but the dinners were much more expensive than in local dining areas. The property has two complexes across a busy (busy for that town) street and it sometimes took awhile to cross the street to get to the dining and office. The photos on the internet are accurate, however, the exteriors of the buildings are not as attractive.

near town

Not a good value for the money

Great location, very boutique Guest Rating: 3.7

This hotel has a great location, and the 'boutique' feel as it's made up of several old homes, tastefully remodeled. The room was very pretty, but the service was mixed (not atypical for Laos). Check in and check out takes far too long for such a small hotel. The breakfast (included in the price) is excellent - a-la-carte, large portions, and daily fresh fruits and baked good. I was surprised that a boutique hotel did not have any shampoo/conditioners, etc.

Location Old-style, pretty rooms Breakfast (included)

Poor service No shampoos/conditioners provided Computer for guests not working

• Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Wake up early (6am) to witness hundreds of Buddhist monks passing by the hotel as part of their daily procession to collect food(alms) from local residents.

3 Naga September 2008 Guest Rating: 4.3

I enjoyed my stay in late September primarily due to the location and the friendliness of the staff. The main sites can be visited over two days. For folk interested in the four major ethnic groups (Khmu, Yao, (H)Mong, and Akna please visit the Traditional Arts and Technology Centre. I suggest that a person have a late breakfast before setting out to explore the city. The early mornings are very humid. The 3 Naga main restaurant across the street was not fully up and running, so the kitchen located behind the bar in the main building prepared the food for the patrons seated in the Mango 3 patio. The food was good to outstanding at USA strip mall prices. Breakfast was filling. The breakfast pastries were outstanding. Sandwiches at $8-9 US were good and served with coleslaw and fries. I can suggest the Buffalo Sausage and Chicken Baguette sandwiches. The coleslaw was very good and comparable to the US Red Lobster product. Appetizers (starters) are $7-8. Main entrees $15-21. Lao Beer was good. Lao food was not the main feature for the menu. However, I had a Lao fixed menu at the El Elephante Restaurant a couple of blocks away. The menu included chicken, pork, fish, veggies, and rice. I had a large Lao Beer. All for approximately $25US. Bedding, towels, bathroom were fine. Rooms are dark. A floor lamp by the sofa would have been useful. The walls are thin, given the wood construction of the building. One should be very careful when latching or unlatching the French doors to the balcony. The metal brackets are very sharp. No smoke alarms that I saw. No peep holes in the doors. Given the price, I would be hard pressed to stay there when other accommodations claiming Internet access and TV may be available for the same price. Although the quality of the food, location, and friendliness of staff are key incentives to return.

Location was outstanding. Very close to temples, other restaurants, and local sights. Could easily walk to all in-town attractions. Staff are friendly.

New staff needs a little more training. Staff ability to explain menu in English needs some work. Internet access machine was not working. No TV.

• Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Traditional Arts and Technology Centre.

Three Nagas, Luang Prabang Guest Rating: 5.0

We had a wonderful four nights stay, and would definitely recommend this hotel and return ourselves. We love the breakfast, room, location, and excellent service by the friendly staff. Although the Three Nagas is located at the end of the main shopping street, it is quiet and has a lovely garden with balconies on both sides of the building. We were able to watch the monks pass by for morning alms from the balcony outside our room.

Large, comfortable rooms, beautifully furnished and in an ideal location where you can watch the monks pass by for morning alms. Excellent breakfast in a lovely setting. Friendly, eager to please staff.

Central Hotel in Luang Prabang - noisy environment Guest Rating: 3.2

Friendly service, central location.

The room was quite noisy at an intersection. Room service supplied beds with winter equipment. Room was rather dark. No TV.

• Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Near to Wats and to both rivers.

3 Nagas in Lunag Prabang 23-25 August 2008 Guest Rating: 4.0

3 Nagas is two buildings located directly across the street from each other on the main road in Luang Prabang. It is fairly close to the east end of the peninsula (the water side) and so not very busy at all. (Nothing in Luang Prabang is very busy as it is a small town.) The rooms were large and fairly well done. The lighting was a little lacking, too dark for me. The general manager introduced himself when we checked in and made some good recommendations for restaurants. Both of their restaurants were under renovation but breakfast for the hotel was served just down the street. 3 Nagas is a great place to see the monks in their morning procession as they walk down the street in between the hotel. If you only want to see the monks and not put food in the beggar bowls, the best rooms are actually across the street from the side they walk down on the 2nd floor(rooms 12 and 14 specifically). Room 6 where I stayed had a great veranda but because of the shade trees the view of the procession is limited. Don't worry though all you have to do is go outside and sit in the outdoor area for a good view of the monks.

Service was excellent, staff was great and very courteous.

Shower access in bathtub is awkward.

• Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Everything in Luang Prabang is within walking distance from 3 Nagas which is good because tuk-tuk were very expensive.

3 Nagas very good Guest Rating: 3.8

The rooms were very well appointed especially the bathrooms which were excellent. I found the staff to be very polite and friendly with all having very good English speaking skills. The hotel was renovating the resturant and we were given breakfast vouchers for a nearby resturant which proved to be a bonus as the food was simply superb. I will certainly stay here again.

central to everything

doing renovations

• Hotel Feature Tip : Down stairs room number 1 is the best

Charming hotel Guest Rating: 4.5

Very beautiful architecture for that small hotel. Rooms are lovely with a lot of teak wood and very comfortable. People is always smilling. Breakfast is perfect and Lao coffee is one of the best in the world.

Room at first floor is very noisy, better to choose the room on the garden.

• Restaurant Tip : You must absolutly try Tamarind restaurant very close from hotel. An unusual Lao food experience.

3 Nagas, Luang Prabang Guest Rating: 2.2

The hotel is a renovation of an old building and has a nice atmosphere that adds to the overall experience of being in Luang Prabang; however, for some people, "character" might just mean "old" and creaky wood floors and slanted walls might not interest them. The rooms are big and spacious but also quiet dark with dark wood floors, ceilings and trim. There are many nice places in town and this one is okay but not the cheapest and some might be just as nice at a lower price. The restaurant is supposed to be one of the best in town but was closed for renovations so I can't comment on that.

Nice atmosphere, good location, nice staff

A bit dark and "creaky", and slightly overpriced.

• Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Unless you really dislike travelling by tuk-tuk I would avoid booking any cars for trips through the hotel - they asked $50 for a car to the waterfall but a tuk-tuk took us there for under $20. The hotel car to the airport would have been $20 but we took a tuk-tuk there for $7.
