My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. The rooms were spacious and well-equipped, making them comfortable for relaxing. The service provided by the staff was courteous and professional, which added a nice touch to my visit. However, I found the dining options to be quite average and not particularly impressive. Additionally, the hotel's location isn't very convenient for exploring nearby attractions, as it felt a bit isolated from the action.

The hotel has a fantastic view of the Mekong River, and the rooms are spacious and comfortable, complete with a nice sitting area and balcony. The staff here are friendly and helpful, but the location is not very walking-friendly, making it a challenge to explore on foot.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the rooms were very clean and comfortable, I found that the location wasn't ideal as it was a bit far from the central area. The service was friendly, but there were some hiccups, like some confusion with the shuttle service. Overall, it offers decent value for money, but it's not quite up to a 5-star experience.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The views of the Mekong River from my room were absolutely stunning, but the decor felt a bit outdated and the rooms had a strange smell. Service was professional and friendly overall, but I did have a very uncomfortable moment when someone knocked on my door late at night. The location, while next to the river, is a bit far from the center of town, which made it inconvenient for exploring. On the bright side, dining was surprisingly good with some really tasty local dishes!
