This is one hell of an amazing place. 15 rooms. Smacked in the middle of actions. Surrounded by restaurants, Temples and steps away from both the Nam Khan and Mekong rivers. The front line staff are young, eager, professional and are exceptional in dishing out great and sincere service. They take efforts to know our preferences so that they know how to provide us. We felt right at home. Food was in every way delicious although chilli spiciness was certainly toned down to cater for the western tourist palettes. We tried many items on the breakfast menu...the rice porridge, the Phô, the mini Lao baguette with condiments, the croissant...ALL were delicious. My favourite was the home made Lao sausages. Then we visited a place that had reincarnated 3 times as a hotel...Sofitel just to see the place and later had a spa session there. It started as Alila, then Hotel de la Paix and now Sofitel. It’s one magnificently restored place also beautifully manicured. Almost stayed there but decided to stay in the city since it’s our first time in Luang Prabang. We definitely made the right choice staying at the 3 Nagas as the Sofitel felt contrived. Noise was never a concern for us at the 3 Nagas. To expect perfect peace and quiet doesn’t quite gel well with the idea of staying at a smacked in the middle of the ‘city’ antiquated place that has lotsa charm, creaking wooden floors, thin windows, and lotsa history. Sofitel would be the perfect place for peace and quiet.
