Andrea’s hotel reviews from Luang Prabang – The Kiridara and the Mekong Riverview

photo

The Kiridara is not in the UNESCO World Heritage site of the old town area in Luang Praband, but there are plenty of redeeming qualities that make up for their location. The rooms are large and have great views towards town and of course, they reap one the biggest benefits of not being in old town – they can have a pool!

The infinity pool is a life saver on hot days and the Kiridara spa is another great way to spend a couple of relaxing hours. Free transfers to town make the out-of-the-way location easy to overlook.

More than anything, I think the best part of this property is the staff who are always willing to help out, give advice and offer countless smiles. Everyone from the manager to the front desk staff have positive attitudes, making you feel so welcome.

Insider tip: With connecting rooms and the pool, this hotel is a great option for families.

The Mekong Riverview

This is one of those properties that you are genuinely sad to leave when it is time to continue on your journey. Not only does it have a stunning location at the end of the Luang Prabang peninsula, but it also truly embodies the feel of the city.

Your days at Mekong Riverview start with an amazing breakfast overlooking the joining of the Nam Khan and Mekong rivers. The attentive staff are all smile and the vanilla crepe is amazing. More than likely at breakfast you will be greeted by Urban, the owner of the hotel and a huge supporter of Luang Prabang – it is because of him that the adjoining park has been completely restored and is now a lovely place to relax.

After breakfast you’ll head out for touring, but on your return in the evening they offer free tea, coffee and snacks in lobby. The team at the Riverview is happy to take you for dinner or to the night market in the hotel gold cart. At night, you can enjoy a final gaze at the Mekong from your balcony before getting into the incredible imported beds!

This hotel and the amazing service they offer their guests is exactly what we look for in a signature hotel.

  1. Wish I was there for a dip in that pool! They also have a great happy hour. A swim and a cocktail are the best way to end a day of touring!
