We enjoyed our 1 night stay at Merry Riverside. Great balcony view of the river, clean and comfy room, nice hot shower, close walking distance to many restaurants and the night market and a good riverside breakfast. Would recommend!
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 £.
The room and hotel common areas were very clean. The front desk staff were very helpful to us. First, in retrieving a bag we left in our shuttle. Then, in helping us get train tickets to Vientiane. The breakfasts were fairly basic but with some nice pastries. The hot items could have been kept warmer.

Nice view of the river and nice breakfast buffet also helpful staff
Beds are hard
I had a river side room, 3 nights!
Room size small but Ok for 1 person. Clean, toilet clean and hygienic. Breakfast good with Veg/Vegan options.

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.

The front desk workers were absolutely wonderful -- they made our stay special. The property itself is alright -- but breakfast is phenomenal!
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!!

The property was nice, and breakfast on the patio overlooking the river was great. The hotel site along with Nam khan river and short distance to night market.
Beautiful view; we chose a Riverview room. Coffee service setup was provided just outside our room and the breakfast buffet was great in both quality and selections. Very peaceful, and a short walk from multiple dining options. Staff was very attentive and helpful.
Great hotel in Luang Prabang. Close to old town and super walkable area. Hotel was beautiful along the river. Nice sized rooms with comfortable beds. Free breakfast was a huge plus. Great friendly service.
Prime location to night market and various attractions. Very nice and accommodating staff. Laundry services were fast, easy and affordable. Very walkable area. Quiet serene location along riverside. Breakfast overlooking the river.
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.
The rooms are big and have everything you need. They are not modern, but they are very comfortable. The WiFi is reasonable. Most rooms have a lovely view of the river. The staff are very helpful. The breakfast is great.
We had a great time here! Our deck overlooked the river as did the breakfast patio. The staff was the best part! They were able to answer all our questions, book trains and help with bus tickets, offer advice on restaurants and book tuk tuks for us. So friendly and helpful! An easy few minutes walk to small stores and the night market. Close to a lot of temples to visit. Beds were comfortable, hotel was clean, breakfast was good. Highly recommend!
Great location and friendly staff! The rooms had nice views, but a few too many bugs for me. I know sometimes hard to control in Laos, but my first room had tons of ants. They moved me to another room which ended up having even more ants, which they sprayed, and it partially helped. There were also a couple geckos living in the room as well. I think the patio doors just need some better sealing!
