The Belle Rive Boutique hotel is one of the nicest hotels I have stayed in. The service is fantastic, and staff were very helpful, and had the best suggestions. If you book directly, through the website - the hotel offers one free pick-up or transfer - so we got picked up from the train station (which is some distance away from town). The room was impeccable - beautifully decorated, comfortable beds, and extremely quaint. We had booked a balcony suite, which was organized across two floors, and had a great balcony looking over the Mekong. The hotel also offers a sunset cruise for visitors, which is included in the price of accommodation. They also organized cycles for us to go exploring the opposite bank (through tiger trail tours); these were brought to, and picked up from the hotel. The hotel also helped us book a boat to go to the Pak Ou caves. The breakfast is a real highlight, as you get to eat on a deck looking over the Mekong. Good, strong, coffee. Excellent pastries. Highly recommended. Would give it 6 stars if I could.
P.S. the goodnight chocolates were an especially nice touch.
