I had such mixed feelings about this hotel. While the rooms were lovely and comfortable, the overall experience fell short due to the lack of maintenance and some service issues. The location is stunning, right by the Mekong river, but getting to town was tricky without transport. The dining options left much to be desired, especially the lukewarm breakfast. Overall, it wasn't the best stay, but there were some redeeming qualities.

I had high hopes for this hotel, but it fell short in several areas. The room had a musty smell that lingered even after deodorizing, and the pool was more like a stagnant pond than a refreshing escape. The location was also a bit far from the main tourist areas, making it inconvenient without transportation. While the service was generally helpful, the dining experience left a lot to be desired, especially for breakfast.

The hotel has a wonderful location right on the Mekong riverside, offering stunning views. The rooms are spacious and generally clean, but the furniture is outdated. Service left much to be desired, as staff seemed uninformed and unresponsive, which was frustrating. Dining options, especially breakfast, were quite ordinary and not very appetizing. Overall, it has potential but certainly needs improvement in several areas.

My stay at the hotel was quite disappointing overall. While the location by the Mekong River is beautiful, the facilities and service left a lot to be desired. The room had a musty smell and the pool was far from inviting, making it hard to relax. Breakfast was just average and lacked variety.

I had high hopes for this hotel with its location right on the Mekong, but my experience was a bit disappointing.
