    central location

    stroll to landmarks and relax by the riverside

    during my stay, I loved how easy it was to walk to the night market and Mount Phousi, just a short stroll away, making it perfect for my city explorations while enjoying serene river views for breakfast on the terrace.

    overpriced services

    The room felt dated with minimal storage space, and I experienced freezing conditions with non-functional air conditioning. Breakfast was served outdoors, making it uncomfortable during colder weather, with most food items unappetizingly cold. The coffee was terrible, and there was no afternoon service on the patio to enjoy the view.

    great location
    ineffective heating
    disappointing breakfast

    Great location near cultural sites and night market!

    We had a terrible experience with room temperatures. both rooms we tried had ineffective heating, and our stay was just miserable as we couldn't get warm. The breakfast was also extremely disappointing—a cold buffet with indifferent staff, and I certainly expected much better considering the prices they charge. To top it off, I booked a minibus through the hotel, and it was a nightmare with overcrowded conditions and constant unannounced stops. Absolutely not worth the hassle!

    evening staff confusion

    The stay was quite enjoyable, especially with the spacious room that offered a stunning view of the river. I appreciated the cozy design and ample space to organize my travel essentials. Breakfast served on the riverside terrace was clearly one of the highlights, providing a peaceful start to the day. The location is fantastic, as it’s just a short walk to the night market and several cultural sites.

    stunning view
    exceptional breakfast
    cozy room design
    evening staff inconsistency

    The experience at Merry Riverside was predominantly positive, especially regarding the deluxe double room river view which provided a stunning perspective of the river. The breakfast was exceptional, served on the terrace right by the water, enhancing the morning ambiance. Overall, the cozy room design and spaciousness made for a comfortable stay, particularly after enjoying breakfast while taking in the views.

    One area of concern was the evening staff's inconsistency in communication regarding tour bookings.

    spacious room
    authentic decor
    fantastic view
    noise management
    lack of soundproofing

    I stayed in the Standard Double Room, and it was surprisingly spacious and cozy. The decor had a nice Lao touch, which made it feel authentic. Plus, the bathroom was roomy and designed well. I loved having the chance to upgrade to a Riverside room for my last few days—the view was fantastic. Overall, very comfortable!

    friendly staff

    The room had a lovely balcony with a river view and the breakfast served on the terrace was delightful with fresh fruit, warm and cold options. Staff was friendly and available for assistance.

    Nothing I didn't like to be fair.

    I recommend it for couples seeking simplicity

    The staff were polite and helped me with my every need. The free bicycles were a great touch, allowing me to explore the area even more!

    It wasn’t exactly cheap, but for what you get, totally acceptable.

    spacious room
    delightful breakfast
    ineffective heating
    unstable internet
    limited amenities

    The room was spacious with a stunning river view and a comfortable bed that made for a restful night. Breakfast featured a delightful variety of fresh and savory items, adding to the experience. However, the heating was ineffective, leading to a chilly stay, and the internet connection had moments of instability, which was frustrating. While the location is convenient, a few more amenities could enhance the overall comfort.
