What a wonderful spot to rest your head!

I wish i had of been able to spend more time in such a lovely bedroom space. Was not in the main building but not a problem as i had everything I needed. Stylishly kitted out and such a divinely comfy bed! Lush shower space with cute colour co-ord bags for all the courtesy disposables. Plants in your room, plants on the balcony! Went to Tamarind Lao cuisine for dinner...which was amazing! Lovely 1 night stay...my only negative is that there was a lot of voices/tours etc leaving outside at 6/6.30am...bring ear plugs!

Loom the manager is awesome. He’ll take great care of your every whim. Only warning is that hundreds of people show up at 5:30 am for the monk procession so if you’re a light sleeper you will be woken. They all move on by 7am . At 8 am the construction workers start on the new river wall. I am sure all the hotels along the river have the same noise. Other than the commotion everything excellent.
