"I had a room overlooking the Mekong which was great. The staff were very nice and the hotel is in a great location. The wifi is not great, I was told you should only connect one device at a time to the wifi, this is not really feasible if you have multiple devices."

"Breathtaking views from balcony. Very friendly manager who showed me multiple room so I could choose what suits me best. And we had a wonderful chat during breakfast! As I visited in what appeared to be a lower season with fewer guests, the rooms would have benefited from a bit more care."
