I had a wonderful stay at Merry Riverside Hotel. The location is very good, you can enjoy a cup of fragrant coffee while watching the gentle Nam Khan River winding, reflecting the rows of Royal Poinciana trees blooming bright red. But the best thing is that the Vietnamese hotel owner is extremely hospitable, enthusiastically guides the sights, and books a car to the train station. The rich breakfast has everything from savory food to cakes and fruits. The most special is the taste of home in your country, Vinamilk yogurt. In general, I give the hotel 10* 👍

This was one of the best Hotels I stayed at during my tour of Laos. I proper family run hotel in a fantastic location with lots of good places to eat close by and walking distance to all the sights. The room was perfect. Bed was comfy, shower was amazing and the location for breakfast was great. I can't recommend this place high enough.

Nice quiet hotel on the river! I like my room with a balcony as well! Breakfast was decent. Walkable to the night market and the city! It is down a street that cars can't come down, so have to carry or roll suitcase down it, but it isn't bad. Overall very nice family run hotel! Loved sitting outside on the balcony and watching the river!

The room and hotel common areas were very clean. The front desk staff were very helpful to us. First, in retrieving a bag we left in our shuttle. Then, in helping us get train tickets to Vientiane. The breakfasts were fairly basic but with some nice pastries. The hot items could have been kept warmer.

The balcony overlooking the river along with the quiet neighborhood and excellent breakfast (with real coffee!) made this place a good choice. The only negative was that the walls were thin so we could easily hear the next door room neighbors chatting all night. This alone would probably not encourage us to return despite everything else being lovely.

4.5 stars. Staffs were very friendly. Room was clean and spacious (family room with a river view). Lots of hot water, but handle was reversed to North American indicator for hot and cold. Our room needed a shower door as shower water splashed to the toilet and sink area with every shower. Breakfast buffet was great and included specialty coffees such as lattes and cappuccinos. Will definitely stay again if visiting Luang Prabang. Highly recommended!!

I must admit, as my first city and first time in Laos I did get a bit of a culture shock and I'm not a timid guy. I did sign up for it and thats part of the fun for me. That all turned pure positive as I dealt with the staff and accommodations at Merry Riverside. Eager and helpful are things that I associate with good staff / stays and they proved to be both. Glad I spent the extra for the top room which I think I can say accurately was akin to a semi luxury cabin like experience. All was as seen on the web. Not everything was perfect, with some minor maintenance welcome but not nessisarily needed. One real but fairly minor complaint: the room fridge didn't work and according to a much older review thats a feature at this point not a bug. As I write this review, I miss this room after pulling a bad one in Vang Vieng! The view didn’t disappoint and stunned given the simplicity of a partially developed river bank! Breakfast was always good and reliable but subtlely diffrent each day. Get up early if you like it hot or like myself enjoy the best table in the corner! Centrally located in the tourist district but I had no problem walking the entire town minus the most remote areas. I cannot recommend it enough assuming you enjoy fully exploring other cultures. The experience changes in meaningful ways outside of the bubble but not an experience for all types to be sure. Not only would I stay again, but I fully expect to! My thanks to the staff!
