Hotel Villa Deux Rivieres

Small pleasant and well maintained hotel, the manager is attentive to guests. The staff is English speaking, no one speaks French. The downside is on the service, Average breakfast , staff does not say hello and goes on ignoring the customer, a fussy night with Korean customers without the staff asking them to stop.

We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel VDR whilst visiting the beautiful Luang Prabang. The staff were warm, welcoming and courteous and always greeted you with a smile. The room was big and clean with good facilities (safe, fridge, tea/coffee, air con) etc. The shower was slightly disappointing as,although powerful, the water sprayed out everywhere from the shower head. The breakfast was fantastic, good choice and very filling, we enjoyed eating outside and looking out over the river. There was a welcome book in the room with lots of helpful information about the area and suggested restaurants. We tried the french bakery (le banneton) and dyen sabai which were both excellent. Overall a lovely stay at hotel VDR and would definitely recommend.

Due to an unexpected situation, we were kindly moved from our original hotel to Villa Deux Rivieres where the management provided us with excellent, spacious accommodation overlooking the Nam Khan river. We were later moved to a different room which was also very comfortable and beautifully furnished. The location was excellent as we were easily able to walk to the main shopping areas, temples and restaurants in this beautiful city. The villa is well set up for breakfast, and we enjoyed ours on the verandah overlooking the river. Although not all reception staff are fluent in English, they went out of their way to help us, especially with booking transport. We traveled to Laos in early December which was sunny and dry during the day but quite cold at night. If travelling at this time of year, consider packing a jumper and warm sleepwear. The villa organised to have laundry done for us - cheap and of a high standard.
