What a place! We spent five nights in this magnificent part of the world. The host (Urban) & the hotel staff went out of their way to make our stay truly memorable-oh so comfortable and well advised on what the local area had to offer from restaurants, sights & pampering. Our room was upgraded after the first night (to a... More

This is a truly beautiful hotel in an even more beautiful part of the world. The host goes out of his way to make sure you're comfortable, and well advised. The room we're staying in is really well appointed, spacious and equipped with the most comfortable bed ever. It even has an electric tilt! The free mini bar did nothing... More

Stayed 6 days in early May 2012 in a junior suite in a new building next to the check-in reception. Everything that should be said has already been said by the reviewers - the warmth of Mr Urban the owner, the friendly and helpful staff who arrange river cruises and assist in morning alms-giving if guests wish to participate, the...

This is one of the best hotels, especially considering the price! They just added a marvelous outdoor breakfast area overlooking the river and it is terriffic. Fantastic service, the owner is great. This is one of my favorite hotels in the world! It even has free internet! Vastly better than hotels many times more expensive. You can go wrong here! More

It's difficult to say something that hasn't already been said about this place... We had two nights booked at the Mekong Riverview, and out biggest regret is not staying longer. Luang Prabang is beautiful and relaxing with an extremely friendly (not yet spoiled) attitude toward booming tourism. Urban has designed a wonderful hotel. The rooms are clean and staff friendly....

My wife and I stayed at the Mekong Riverview in the spring of 2012 and it was a sublime experience. The staff is attentive and gives excellent advice about where to eat and what to do. The rooms are very spacious, beautifully furnished, and comfortable. I only wish I had a room on the second floor, so I could have... More

It's hard to add more to all the wonderful, and true, comments already posted here! This place is wonderful! Most comfortable bed I've ever slept in. Great location. Easy to walk anywhere, good restaurants, wats, sights. But on a quiet corner location, overlooking the intersection of the Mekong and another smaller river, so lots of activity to watch right from...

The hotel localtion is superb. Just on the banks of the river Mekong. Easy access to boats. If your lucky, you can catch a glimpse of the monks enjoying themselves playing in the river current. The staff and the owner of the hotel are very helpful and accomodating. They treat you like guests in their own house. The owner provides... More
