Mekong Riverview Hotel

If your diet revolves around KFC or Burger King, whether at home or abroad, then Luang Prabang might not be the ideal destination for you. You won't find water parks or jet skis here either. However, for those seeking to escape fast food and a fast-paced lifestyle, the Mekong Riverview Hotel is the perfect retreat. Situated at the confluence of the Nam Khan and Mekong rivers, within the UNESCO World Heritage site of Luang Prabang, this hotel offers an ideal getaway. During our four-night stay, the Mekong Riverview Hotel exceeded all of our expectations, surpassing even the glowing online reviews and YouTube videos. The décor of our room harmonized beautifully with the historical charm of the surroundings. With a rain shower, spa bath, and a wrap-around balcony, we spent hours simply sitting and enjoying the uninterrupted solitude we sought. Given its location, the hotel provides transportation to the busier part of Luang Prabang. For the more energetic, complimentary bicycles are available. Breakfast is included, and the restaurant is located across the street on the bank of the Nam Khan River. As the fog lifts from the hilltops across the Mekong, you can savor a delightful bowl of local rice soup. As you may have gathered from this review, the Mekong Riverview Hotel has left a lasting impression on us, and we highly recommend you experience it for yourself.

Lovely room in authentic Lao style with balcony overlooking Mekong River. Staff very friendly and helpful. Short walk to central area but lots to see near hotel. Only small criticism is the low water pressure in the shower but not a major issue. Highly recommended.

Nice location, Deluxe rooms are upstairs and have a nice bacony with a nice view on the Mékong river. Rooms are clean but very noisy, particularly when the staff start his cleaning at 8am. Don't intend to sleep late! Their restaurant, the View Point is absolutely not good, this will include your breakfast treat, even if you paid for breakfast with the room, I would suggest you just go somewhere else to enjoy a proper breakfast. Unless you fancy oil, salt and sugar very much.
