My stay at Cold River was excellent! The property is well maintained, clean and strategically located. The host, Rudy and Marilyn are very friendly and helpful and make our stay there most enjoyable. The breakfast was delicious with 3 options of main dishes i.e. eggs, soup noodle or fried rice, all were very well prepared and super delicious. We will definitely go back to Cold River again whenever we are in Luang Prabang.

Room had many large bugs and geckos, including the biggest cockroach! When we told the staff, they just offered to kill the insects, and didn’t offer for us to switch rooms or any other services. The place feels run down. The shower is in the same area as the toilet with nothing separating them, so the toilet gets wet when you shower. One big perk is free drinking water.

Staff were helpful, owners served breakfast each morning, which was AMAZING! I stayed on the second floor, room #5. Hotel was quiet because all the guests (except 1) made an effort to be quiet and respectful (walls are thin). It was a basic hotel, cute balconies, bathroom light didn’t always work and the bed was hard as a rock but otherwise I liked the place and would recommend.

Very quirky little place , amazing people who are prepared to help you st any point. We were upgraded to a delux room with a balcony and views were just outstanding of the river - very relaxing to have a cup of coffee in a morning. It’s a little walk of 15min to the night market. To get to hotel from airport we would recommend capturing the tuk tuk for 40KIP (around $4) Great breakfast ! Cooked to order and fruits , pancake , good strong coffee. If only one down side we just couldn’t get WiFi connection in a room I would definitely recommend and be back again!
