Dragon Lodge
Same reliable rooms, new lower prices

What we say: 
Dragon Lodge is a colourfully painted building with a dimly lit bar/restaurant on the ground floor and modern rooms upstairs. Once a popular flashpacker spot, it's fallen out of favour due to stiff competition from guesthouses closer to the river and rates have dropped accordingly. All rooms are clean, well furnished, and have an attached bathroom. The air-con rooms have TVs and some open onto a shared terrace, though it's beside the road and gets a bit noisy. The young staff may seem a bit clueless, but they're a friendly lot and eager to make you feel welcome. Look for the noticeboard in the restaurant where people post their travel tips.

Overrated
The room was clean and the bathroom was really nice. However, the room fan was so noisy we could barely sleep. And despite the ceiling fan and vent fan both being on simultaneosly, the room still felt stuffy, a good few degrees hotter than the hallway. On the wall of the hallway is a notice board with letters from customers who just loved the service and friendly staff, so perhaps it was just us who found them a little cold and unfriendly. They delivered our laundry half a day later than expected - not good if you have early travel!! The charges for Cambodian Visas at reception are way too high ($40 same day), and you can get it in 1 day at the Embassy yourself($20).Just drop in your passport with 2 pics in the morning and pic it up in the afternoon. Oh, and they accept kip or baht too. (I was quoted 220,000Kip). The overnight bus tickets are also 15,000K cheaper at a travel agency.

Stayed 3 nights
The city was booked out and I got the last fan room on the ground floor. 150,000 kip. Room was clean but the trash can in the bathroom had not been emptied, not a problem. Very clean. I never ate there nor did I ask the staff for help. I felt it was good value.

You can do much better...
Whether or not you like this place will depend on the (often volatile) mood of the owner/manager. He can act gracious and charming...or he can be a real nightmare. After leaving one piece of luggage there for 4 days while I visited Luang Prabang, I returned to retrieve it - only to be told I would have to pay for one night's stay to get it back! This - along with the constantly rising room rates and the dubious nature of the staff - should have you looking for somewhere else. For less money, Riverside Guesthouse has a great location and staff - and they don't rip you off!

expensive but worth it
Stayed here only 1 night because it was booked out! Expensive, but very clean and modern room.

Consistently good
Just stayed at Dragon again. Never fails to satisfy, the manager is so helpful, the staff quiet and efficient, the rooms clean and adequate. Good water pressure in the bathroom, cheap laundry services.

Comfortable and safe
I have stayed at Dragon Lodge several times in the past three years. I have always foudn it to be clean, safe and quiet. The manager is extremely helpful with all sort of information and services for the guests. I especially like the lobby. The guest house is in a very convenient location. THE place to stay.

A little bit disappointed
Paid US$18 for the air-con room but the bathroom is very small and the room a little bit dark. The all-male staff is very cute but more interested in playing games than helping you.
