I booked a room at the MuongLao Riverside, however, I actually stayed at the sister guesthouse, The Mekong Holiday Villa, which is closer to the town centre of Luang Prabang (essentially it's on the same road, but about 500 metres closer to town), so this review is about the Mekong Holiday Villa. I wasn't really too happy about being moved... More

This hotel was booked on the strength of TA comments. The room was very small, dark and ill equipped - no mirror in bedroom, not one coathanger - only hooks on a door, extremely small bathroom where you could sit on the loo and shower at the same time. At $40 a night this was not good value for money.... More

We enjoyed our stay here and really loved Luang Prabang in general. The guesthouse is an older traditional building which adds to its charm with wooden clad rooms . The bathrooms are small but fine and the manager is friendly. We liked the location as it was on the river and in a quiet place but having said that this... More

We had a great 6 night stay here. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. The manager was very nice and professional - and also upgraded us a couple days into our stay to a room with a balcony, which made a big difference and was lovely. It's an older building with a traditional feel to it. And the... More

We booked Muanglao Riverside online and upon reaching there, the staff got a tuktuk to send us to another hotel, Mekong Holiday Villa which is just a short distance away. I think the whole confusion about the location is because both of the hotels belong to the same owner, Dan. And the new room he transfered us to is even... More

Muonglao Riverside has a great location on the banks of the Mekong in the heart of the Old Town within easy reach of all the nice restaurants and bars. The room was adequate but not amazing – some strange wiring and switch combinations!! My one major issue is the staff, although the manager spoke perfect English, the rest of the... More

As you know Lao is not English speaking country but they have huge heart to... More

Located at the Mekong river makes it a perfect location. Three of the total seven rooms have a first floor balcony overviewing the river (rooms 201, 203 and 204). Breakfast is served on a terrace opposite street with a open river view. Rooms are clean with huge beds. Shower with warm water. Nice staff. Price-quality is good. Can recommend this... More

I prebooked this hotel as I like to 'splurge' on at least one nice hotel each holiday - for around $50USD in SE Asia you can (usually) get some lovely hotels for a few nights - however this isn't really worth it. Good points - service and breakfast were good and it was on the Mekong riverside with a balcony... More

Lovely old style guest house by river. Basic facilities and all that you need for a conformable stay. Room on he small side but large enough and the price is right! I had a room with a balcony so I could enjoy a cold Beer Lao in the afternoon watching the tourists and activity below. Very central to everything, main... More

We booked this hotel after reading great reviews, unfortunately we were wrong. As soon as we arrived, the owner told us they where under maintenance and sent us to another hotel a few blocks away, he promised to move us back in a few days, that never happened so we asked in the reception of this "other" hotel for a...
