Love this hotel. My second time in Laos, extended from 15 days to 29. Spacious room, breakfast is plentiful overlooking the river, walking distance to the night markets and other attractions, amazing courteous staff. A big shoutout to Vone at front desk who helped me a lot. I have already booked my stay for next year.

I choose hotels by the breakfast buffet. Merry Riverside's breakfast buffet is outstanding. I had American style bacon with fried eggs on fresh croissants. Best breakfast I have had in a long time. I'll return.

The room and hotel common areas were very clean. The front desk staff were very helpful to us. First, in retrieving a bag we left in our shuttle. Then, in helping us get train tickets to Vientiane. The breakfasts were fairly basic but with some nice pastries. The hot items could have been kept warmer.

The balcony overlooking the river along with the quiet neighborhood and excellent breakfast (with real coffee!) made this place a good choice. The only negative was that the walls were thin so we could easily hear the next door room neighbors chatting all night. This alone would probably not encourage us to return despite everything else being lovely.

Beautiful view; we chose a Riverview room. Coffee service setup was provided just outside our room and the breakfast buffet was great in both quality and selections. Very peaceful, and a short walk from multiple dining options. Staff was very attentive and helpful.
