Two night stay post Upper Mekong cruise. Hotel well located a short walk from the centre and one block from the river. A beautiful colonial style rambling building, with well maintained gardens and two pools. Has a lovely feel, with interesting areas, courtyards, decorative pools and interior touches. We felt however, that the hotel is starting to need some investment, not to run the risk of crossing|from boutique to run down. Staff, without exception, friendly and so helpful.|Breakfast was adequate but a little limited with fixed items, and a la carte for eggs, pancakes etc. We did eat dinner in the restaurant one|night, and enjoyed it very much. For us a couple of negatives. We found our room dark and dingy. Poor lighting, and heavy furniture didn’t help. Bathroom layout poor, and would benefit from a shaving mirror and somewhere to put toiletries in the shower. The air conditioning, and bed/linen comfort were however excellent. The nature of the building and wooden floors meant that we got significant noise from the guests above. On one night, a late group checking in, then moving around, meant we were awake two hours.|Only a short term issue, but noteworthy if you are staying in the coming months, is that there is building construction on two sides of the|main pool area. At times this gave a lot of noise, banging, staple guns etc. Just good to be aware if its important during your stay, to spend some time relaxing around the pool. That aside, given the location in the town, there was very little road noise in general, so this is a situation that will hopefully resolve itself when construction is complete.
