Inns in Laos

"Great grounds. Brilliant view. We had the Exec Suite and it was clean , very big and very comfortable. All Staff were amazing and friendly and ever so helpful. Swimming pool was big and when we went the water was a perfect temperature. Breakfast setting was lovely, overlooking the river and the food was great. Resort is about 10 mins from the town on a scooter however they also offer a free shuttle which we used a couple of times. Resort is very peaceful and I would highly recommend staying here . If we visit again we will definitely stay again "

"Bed to hard."

"It would be great if the refrigerator drinks and snacks are included with the stay"

"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 staff and clean room! "

"Hotel sits directly in the Mekong river. Feels upscale compared to many others and the price is right. Would definitely return. Pool area could be a bit bigger, gets crowded in the evening, but I didn’t even care to swim anyways. I enjoyed my stay overall."

"Great stay, thank you. "

"A wonderfulplace to stay with stunning gardens and incredible river mountain views!!"

"The hotel is beautiful and the staff are all amazing. Ask to go anywhere nearby or be picked up nearby is easy to arrange. All done with a gracious smile and a chat with the staff. Breakfast is ok as it is buffet style so the food is not always as hot as you'd like it to be. All in all a wonderful experience."
