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!!

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 £.

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!

Good value for money

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.

Beautiful river view hotel with a great breakfast

A hotel where you can chill with the view of the river and the greenery around. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. It has buffet breakfast options with the river view. Caution while carrying heavy luggage, cars don't necessarily go all the way to the hotel.

Truly a 10 out of 10. The location is great as the hotel is located within an easy walk to the centre of the old town with right next to the river. The staff were very friendly and efficient and all times. Both common areas and my room were kept extremely clean at all times and the breakfast was very tasty and consisted of a good selection. Based on my experience here, I highly recommend this hotel.
