Merry Riverside Hotel

I loved staying here. Staff are very friendly and helpful and they do everything to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. The beds are very comfortable and everything is very clean. I would 100% recommend a stay here. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The friendly and helpful staff went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the entire property was spotlessly clean. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel. Thank you to the lovely girl on the front desk. Always had a big smile on her face. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The friendly and helpful staff went above and beyond to make my experience comfortable and enjoyable.

Very nice hotel, room is tastefully decorated, breakfast is very good. 15 minutes to night market. Highly recommended.

Spotless room, nice view of the river from the balcony. Extremely space and great ac too. Staff as the desk are helpful and friendly.

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.

Clean and spacious room, wonderful staff, great buffet breakfast overlooking the Mekong river

Spacious room, great staff, great buffet breakfast overlooking the Mekong river

Beautiful location. Helpful hosts and wonderful breakfast with a view.

Highly recommend

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.

The room is very clean . The view is wonderful.

I had a river side room, 3 nights! Room size small but Ok for 1 person. Clean, toilet clean and hygienic. Breakfast good with Veg/Vegan options. Recommended

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!!

Great location by the delta- definitely get a room with a balcony overlooking- amazing views and ambiance. Staff were very helpful and welcoming. Location wise, close to bars and restaurants and about 10mins from the old town. Great value for £.

Terrible stay in this hotel . Room was stinky rundown with so many rules. Not for the price I paid .

This place was amazing. Would love to return some day.

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!

Nice place ! Clean and spacious. Breakfast is amazing. Nice view. Make sure you buy room with a view

My stay was pleasant overall. The initial impression of the room was great value for money and good location. The room was looked clean and was a decent size with comfortable beds and pillows. I enjoyed the balcony; minus natures pesky mosquitoes. That can't be helped. The staff were great. The breakfast was enjoyable. I appreciated that the staff stopped refilling food stations about 15 minutes before breakfast service ends. Others may not be a fan but it is a very sustainable and eco friendly move. It minimises the waste. It was unfortunate after some complaints from other guests who showed up later for the breakfast service; the staff prepped a bit more food. I hope it wasn't all wasted. Con: my bed was located under the A/C and it was leaking onto the headboard and hitting me while laying in bed. We did inform staff, they provided towels, and I said it was fine. I just moved my bed away from the leak since I was leaving the next morning.

Nice view of the river and nice breakfast buffet also helpful staff Beds are hard

The restaurant is only open for breakfast.
