“Clean Guesthouse In An Excellent Location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 June 2007
2
people found this review helpful

There are 3 properties that come under this name, Nam Sok (NS) 1, 2 and 3. NS1 and NS3 are just round the corner from the main street, excellent location, night market is just out on the front door. NS2 is by the Mekong, still only a short walk to the main street.

We stayed at NS3, very clean room, comfortable bed, USD10 for a double room, USD15 during peak season. No TV here but available at NS1. Room was cleaned daily with supply of 2 bottles of mineral water, very friendly staff. Pick-up from airport is USD5.

A family home was under construction infront of the guesthouse when we were there, it was noisy during the day. Otherwise, it's a quiet area. There are two restaurants, Nisha just opposite the guesthouse and Mixay right next door. L'Elephant and Tamarind is only 5 minutes walk away. Blue Brother Mouse office is only a few feet down the road,

NS1 and NS3 come under the same website and use the same email address, probably same with NS2. They are own by the same family, so do state your preference of property if it matters.

  • Liked — Clean, good value and excellent location.
  • Disliked — No wardrobe.

“Good location but still overpriced”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2007

We stayed there last January 2007 for 4 nights in Luang Prabang. The guest house s location is convenient and perfect right in the centre of the historic town. However, as we booked by email the night before our arrival, we were charged US$24 a night which is overpriced for what it was, although I guess we had one of the best rooms of the guesthouse. Although the room was clean, there were a lot of small details which made the stay not so comfortable: the blanket was too short for the bed (it's very cold at night in Luang Prabang in January!), the room was quite noisy because it is surrounded by other guest houses with noisy people, the bathroom was also very noisy (at night, we heard every water noise from next door's bathroom...) and there were problems with the pipes, and finally, the hot water dit not function very well.. the water was warm but more cold than warm... And there were no place to put/hang the clothes anywhere in the room or the bathroom, as if the room was built for short term stay (one night stay) only.
Although the staff was friendly, I think the room did not deserve a US$24 rate. US$10-15 is OK for that, but not 24.

This guesthouse is between the main street and the Mekong, a great location for walking to both. Resturants nearby and a fast internet cafe across the street. Prices start at $15. for one or two. Large rooms, nice staff tho not overly friendly.
