We had a wonderful experience at the Mekong Riverview Hotel in Luang Prabang. This all-wood hotel retains the relaxed sensibility of another time. The room was very comfortable, with excellent a/c and other amenities. The hotel itself was very quiet. The only noise was the occasional evening beach party on the riverbank below the hotel. The hotel is situated near the end of the peninsula, where the Mekong and Nam Khan rivers come together. The views from the hotel and from the dining area are simply breathtaking. And, the hotel is very close to the Wat Xieng Thong Temple and the other nearby wats. We also want to give a shout out to the hotel staff, who went out of their way to assure that our needs were met. Among other things, they arranged our trip up the Mekong on a private boat, transportation to the Kuang Si waterfall complex, and transportation to the airport on our departure. In every case, we had excellent personal service, and the cost was less than we would have paid if we had booked it ourselves.
