We had hoped to be looking over the Mekong River but didn't really have much of a view.

We have stayed at Riva many times now, because it is so convenient and good value. The breakfasts are great, and the staff are super friendly and helpful.

Room was noisy. It's centrally located, but doesn't seem to have any soundproofing. You can hear the music outside till about midnight

Friendly staff, excellent location and delicious buffet breakfast.

Noise level

Great hotel, very clean, nice room, great staff. The noise was difficult. It overlooks the night market. There is always a band with deep bass music vibrating until late into the night. Would not stay there again due to the noise. Might be ok if you don't have a room with a window.

Noise in the room from the neighbors AC was loud. The showers hot water system was just warm at best, even at the highest setting.

Staff were amazing and the breakfast variety was superb. Location was great as you could walk to a few main attractions. Night markets and close food stalls.

1. Shower: weak and the water is not hot enough. 2. The room didn't get enough lighting

1. Location: just a few steps from the night market. A nice cafe and a mini mart is just round the corner. Many restaurants and massage places around. 2. Seevice: Friendly, Attentive and helpful. 3. The car booking provided by the hotel is very reasonably priced. Cheaper than using LOCA. 4. Room: New, clean, separation of shower and toilet. 5. Smart TV provided. 6. Wifi: fast and stable. 7. Breakfast: Get variety of choices.

night market is loudly. Noisy at 2am from moterbike.

hotel has good facility.

Stayed in October 2024

My room was facing the market and the sound proofing wasn’t good. I could hear the noise from the market until late at night.

The location is very centralised and the staff were friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and comfortable.

Stayed in September 2024

Nothing. Night market is not too noisy even the insulation is not too good, acceptable.

Staff very polite but speak little English. Sparsely decorated room, upkeep is good for Lao standard. Good bed, bedsheets, pillows. Vientiane is relatively expensive for the income of the country

May be if we had stayed for more than one night, we would not have liked the fact there was no openable window and window was facing a view that was not nice

Well I do not usully review but this time felt I had too as this Hotel scores 9.9 out of 10. Rooms very clean , perhaps a better window as road noise a little annoying but then this is a capital city not the wilds of laos. Room cleaning staff excellent & do take notice of the do not disturb sign , even to the extent of "Trying to keep quiet" in the hallway when working. ( bluetooth ear pieces instead of a radio, surely these days is a must). Reception staff very very polite & helpfull from printing of some things I desp needed to downloading a loal food delivery app for me. Yes you can order too your room ( collect yourself in the lobby). Breakfast very very good selection of Breads , jams, coisants, fruit & hot Asian breakfast. You wont get a full Uk here lol. 1 tiny gripe on last day they had ran out of Bagguete & did not think to pop a few doors away to buy more fresh straight from the oven. Hence the .9 I am an ex hotelier so very hard to please but if I have to come to Laos again would highly recommend this hotel.

Basically good

Small cups for drinking.

Friendly staff, great location & comfortable rooms..

Stayed in August 2024

Some of the rooms are facing the night market or Main Street and can be pretty load until late. It’s not terrible but it is there. Many rooms don’t have a window that is clear but rather frosted giving it a darker feel

Great location walking distance to many things. Staff are nice and welcoming. Breakfast was pretty good with a decent variety of foods and fruits
