Everything was great for our 5 day stay. Luang Prabang is a small town but there is plenty to do. Tourism is important there but it is not overwhelming. Mostly it is people going about every day life which is wonderful as a visitor to walk around in. Very safe town. The hotel is excellent. Easily one of the top places to stay in the whole city. The hotel is 1-2km outside the downtown area but this is no problem. Free transfers whenever you want in the hotel car. Staff are falling over themselves...

Excellent hotel. A little away from the main downtown area, but if you don't want to walk (which is actually fun if you explore the side streets) then the hotel has a shuttle service. We had an upper room which I personally prefer to the lower ones that are basically adjoining the pool. The pool itself was the best of the various hotels we stayed at in Laos simply because the water was actually cool and refreshing. All staff very helpful. Highly recommended.

This hotel is located at the end of the old part of Luang Prabang and right on the river. Not only ideally located (I recommend a Riverview room) the service at the Mekong Riverview is second to none. Expect a welcome drink on arrival, a chat with the owner each morning, soft drink and water in the room and beds turned down at night to mention just a few things. Cannot recommend highly enough!
