Located in the central area of Vientiane which is nice. A bit loud at night. Large and clean rooms with good service.

Room was functional and clean. Staff were very friendly and tried to have a conversation. Excellent location as just opposite the night market and easy walking distance to many restaurants and bars
We arrived during a festival so the area was really vibrant and interesting for our stay. The room was clean and comfortable and I would definitely stay here again.
We stayed four nights and would definitely recommend to others. Great location, a little noise from the markets opposite in the evening. Very friendly and helpful staff and the best buffet breakfast.
Awesome location. Close to many food options from restaurants, street food, bars, and Starbucks. All in walking distance no more than 10 minutes and close to the bank to exchange money. We would definitely stay here again and the staff were very accommodating and polite.

The hotel is across the street from night market, and Mekong river. Staff friendly. But rate was pricey.
Riva hotel was amazing. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Highly recommend this hotel. Definitely will be booking here when I visit Laos again. Thank you for the amazing experience and accommodation.
Nice hotel next to river in Vientiane. The people that worked here spoke good English and were very nice and always helpful. The room was basic but clean and comfortable. The breakfast was quite delicious with a mix of Laos, western and Thai influenced dishes.
The hotel is located across the street from the night market so very convenient to find food and do some shopping in the evening.
Great hotel, modern and clean, excellent location. The night market can be a bit loud but i was fine with earplugs in. Decent breakfast spread. The food night market is a couple blocks away and well worth it!
The room was nice and clean. The service was great and the morning breakfast was excellent. Only issue, rooms may not be sound proof. would love to give five stars can only give 4 stars

I wish the property had an iron, especially if you have wrinkled clothes.
The property is new and clean. Great location where you can access to night market and lots of good cafe around. The breakfast taste good but may have limited options, although it‘s reasonable with the price you pay. The only thing that bother me is in the bathroom, there‘s no separation from the wet and dry area on the floor and therefore, it can be a bit messy and wet all over.
Great location on the river right opposite the night markets and Ferris wheel playground. Fabulous room and staff were sooo accommodating. Breakfast was good.
We had a balcony room overlooking the river and the market setting up and the night selling kept us amused. Does get a bit noisy with the loud music and sometimes the packing up (until 2am) of the stalls but just shut the door! We loved it. This was our first taste of Laos and we loved it. We walked everywhere and caught a tuk tuk once.
The lifts broke down and the staff were very accommodating. It’s an easy walk up and down the stairs. Just carrying the bags the guys wouldn’t let us.
They arranged bus to Vang Vieng.
