Room was extremely small and bathroom was terrible. After first night we requested a different room. Staff was very accommodating and we gladly paid for the upgrade to a little larger room with a decent bathroom and better WI-FI signal. The beds are very firm

Quaint, Good Breakfast

Staff were helpful, owners served breakfast each morning, which was AMAZING! I stayed on the second floor, room #5. Hotel was quiet because all the guests (except 1) made an effort to be quiet and respectful (walls are thin). It was a basic hotel, cute balconies, bathroom light didn’t always work and the bed was hard as a rock but otherwise I liked the place and would recommend.

Cold River is a warm place to stay.

Great hosts/managers and a great staff. We were there for 4 nights and would liked to have stayed longer. Nice rooms with nice exterior seating areas.

Highly recommended.

Wonderful owners and staff who have a wealth of knowledge about the area. Great breakfast and comfortable bed. My only complaint is how thin the walls are meaning you can hear what is happening in surrounding rooms. Definitely better than 2 stars. Highly recommended.

10/10 Exceptional

Very quirky little place , amazing people who are prepared to help you st any point. We were upgraded to a delux room with a balcony and views were just outstanding of the river - very relaxing to have a cup of coffee in a morning. It’s a little walk of 15min to the night market. To get to hotel from airport we would recommend capturing the tuk tuk for 40KIP (around $4) Great breakfast ! Cooked to order and fruits , pancake , good strong coffee. If only one down side we just couldn’t get WiFi connection in a room I would definitely recommend and be back again!

Excellent two-week stay!

My husband and I stayed at Cold River for two weeks while I caught up on some work during a year-long trip. I cannot recommend it enough. The hotel is lovely, the rooms are comfortable, the breakfast is nice, and the hosts are incredibly helpful and kind. They helped us arrange at tuk tuk for the day to tour the waterfalls and graciously kept our bags for us while we went to the elephant center. If you're looking at a lot of options, close the other windows and book it.

4/10 Fair

My advices to those who wish to stay in this Cold River hotel better to check clearly with the hotel owner. A lot of restrictions with the hotel operator. Very disappointed to stay in this hotel and my holiday mood is affected by them.

Loved Cold River in Luang Prabang

This was a great place to stay! We stayed 5 nights and loved the hotel and the city. The hotel is in a quiet area outside of the touristy area but within walking distance (for us about 15 minutes) of the tourist streets (restaurants, bars, shops, night market, etc.). Breakfast was great with fruit, yogurt, coffee or tea, baguette and hot options. They has refillable water bottles for use and a couple filtration locations for filling up, in an effort to decrease waste from buying lots of bottled water!! The staff were friendly and many spoke English well. We had laundry done and the rate was good and done quickly. Wifi was OK in room.
