Mekong Riverview Hotel

The hotel is located at the confluence of the Mekong River and Nam Khan River, and the view is excellent. All the staff are friendly and responsive, making for a very comfortable stay. The room is kept clean and neat, allowing for a comfortable experience. While it's called a river view room, it feels like all rooms have a river view (lol). From the room, you can leisurely enjoy views of the Mekong River and refresh your mind. The minibar drinks are complimentary and refilled daily. Breakfast is served at a restaurant across the street, but the food is delicious. The staff are friendly and the cuisine is excellent, especially dining by the riverside. During the day, they offer free shuttle service to the city center using vintage electric cars. They also arrange free transportation to and from the airport. During off-seasons and such, they seem to offer quite discounted rates at the last minute, so it might be worth looking for those deals.

Great stay in amazing town! Nice colonial-like building of the hotel where you can expect all the services, comfortable bed and amenities. Plus the views from your balcony!

We had a wonderful stay at the Mekong Riverview Hotel. The location is perfect, right by the river and close to many temples and restaurants. The staff were extremely friendly and always ready to help. The room was clean and comfortable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Luang Prabang.

Unfortunately I have to say that this was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had, in particular considering the expectations and the price paid (I paid USD 500 for two nights in the Junior Suite). I’ve traveled extensively in Southeast Asia (Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Philippines) and for USD 250 per night you always get an amazing white glove experience. The only outstanding feature here was the breakfast (although even here freshly squeezed orange juice instead of a tetra pak would have been nice considering the price). The room was unfortunately not up to scratch. It wasn’t the advertised 45 square meters. The bathroom was just absolutely underwhelming and in need of renovation and maintenance (see pictures attached). All the details were just not up to standard (e.g. instead of some brand toiletries or at least nice ceramic dispensers, you had the cheapest IKEA plastic containers; no surprise given the Swedish ownership I guess). They obviously bank on the location, but given that Luang Prabang is a peninsula between two rivers, basically half of all places have river view. And it’s not like it’s a private shore. There’s still a street and a park in between with lots of random people gawking up at your balcony. Unfortunately this place was an absolute waste of money and disappointment. There are lots of other nice places (either at half the price or at a much higher standard) in LP. Lastly I want to say that the staff did their best and are not at fault.
