Mekong Riverview Hotel

Great hotel excellent location great staff

This was such an amazing experience for us. Great location, very friendly staff, and amazing restaurant food.

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.

This property is outstanding in every way! The location was on the Mekong River. A beautiful location to enjoy from your patio or terrace. The room is clean, comfortable, unique and roomy. The staff are awesome! Everyone from the front desk, housekeeping and restaurant. They all were there to make my stay the most enjoyable and memorable time in Luang Prabang. The front desk staff helped me with many things. They secured train tickets, private tour drivers, taxi and similar services needed during my stay. The restaurant, wow! It oversees the Mekong River with a beautiful view! I feel best in Luang Prabang. The restaurant staff are amazing! The breakfast and dinner menu was so delicious (sap lai). Whether you are wanting Asian or western food. All is delicious! This property is a must for staying in Luang Prabang. I enjoyed it so much. I extended my stay TWICE!!! For a total of 13 nights! If I were to return to Luang Prabang, I would definitely want to stay here again!

I absolutely loved staying at the Mekong Riverview Hotel. It was in a great location, came with a free breakfast that was very nice, the woman in charge and her family did an incredible job of taking care of everybody’s needs and providing a great experience for all of us staying there. I actually felt like a member of their family by the time I left. If I came back to Nong Khiaw , I would only stay with them and not even consider another place. I’m still thinking about the wonderful time I had there.

Loved location right next to river. Was authentic style of accommodation. Amazing breakfast and fantastic setting. Staff very helpful and friendly. Very comfortable bed

Great location and beautiful view. Wonderful staff!

Excellent room with a balcony overlooking the Mekong river. Bedding is comfortable. The best surprise is the breakfast location outdoors along the bank of the Mekong river. Very pretty and relaxing. Delicious pure fruit juices and fresly baked croissants and baguettes worthy of Paris.

The room was antiquated. Serious quality issues witht the bathroom especially to toilet

Staff was accommodating when we discovered we needed late checkout. Laundry was returned promptly. Location was excellent, breakfast was good.

Nice location, friendly staff and clean room. Generous with the bottled water 👍

We've stayed in the Mekong Riverview Hotel several times over the past 7 years and it continues to be a lovely place to spend time. The rooms are nicely decorated and comfortable and we love the large balconies. The friendly staff are a highlight and they always do their best to accommodate any request you have. Breakfast is simple but delicious and comes with lovely views at the riverside restaurant. Note: I recommend requesting a second floor room as vans tend to park out front during the day and block the river view from the balcony.

Clean, very spacious room. Nice to have balcony. Good, varied breakfast with lovely view of river at the hotel’s restaurant. Great location.

Room was clean and had everything needed. Staff was very attentive. Breakfast at the restaurant across the street right on the river. All good.

We liked being by the river, in a quiet location. The breakfast facility is beautiful! Outdoor, right on the Mekong

This hotel has a brilliant position by the river with a very attentive staff.

Great boutique hotel in the old town. Great location and the staff are always very friendly. My go to place in Luang Prabang

Mekong Riverview is an excellent option if you want to have a unique experience in Luang Prabang. It may not have the amenities of a five-star hotel, but I enjoyed it a lot more than staying at a cookie-cutter five-star hotel. The architectural distinctness, the sense of privacy, and most importantly, the helpfulness of staff made the stay so pleasant. In particular, they let me use my room after I checked out so I could stay in an air-conditioned room (not common in LP) until the taxi driver to the airport arrived. Definitely recommended.

Wonderful welcome to a beautiful hotel! Staff were so helpful and our rooms were excellent. The style of the hotel was traditional Laos and not modern but everything worked and looked great!

I had a truly wonderful stay at this property and would like to extend my sincere gratitude to the entire team for their exceptional service. The staff were not only kind and welcoming, but also incredibly honest—a quality that stood out during my visit. On two separate occasions, I accidentally left cash in my clothing sent for laundry, and both times, the front desk promptly contacted me to return it. That level of integrity is rare and deeply appreciated. The only minor downside was a temporary issue with the hot water and the water pressure in the bathroom. Fortunately, the hot water issue was quickly resolved, and it didn’t significantly impact my overall experience. Highly recommended, and I would absolutely stay here again.
