VILLA DEUX RIVIERES HOTEL: 

Highly Recommended Budget Hotel in Luang Prabang Old Quarter

The best place to stay in Luang Prabang is at the Old Quarter. Villa Deux Rivieres Hotel  is located in the Old Quarter. Although it does not sit right across the Mekong River, it has the view of the Nam Khan river so the rates are so much lower than hotels located along the Mekong River. As you can see below, it's very near the Mekong River hotels but without the premium rates of Mekong River hotels.

WHY I LOVE THIS HOTEL

LOCATION

1. It's very near all the places you want to visit.

Must see places and must do activities that are just 3 min. walk from the hotel are Wat Xieng Thong, Xieng Thong Noodle House, Sakkaline Road where the alms giving is centered upon and Silver Naga Spa, where they give a fantastic Lao massage. Everything else is at most a kilometer walking distance, like Mount Phousi entrance, the Night Market, the Royal Palace, the Sasa Sunset Cruise along the Mekong River and Xieng Thong Phonsavanh restaurant, where you can taste authentic and inexpensive Lao cuisine.

2. It's very quiet compared to hotels situated along the Mekong River.

The hotel is located across the Nam Kahn river The area along the Mekong River is the center of tourist activity so you can expect the noise lever to be higher in that area.


ROOMS AND AMENITIES

1. Rooms and bathrooms are very spacious as you can see in the photos below. 

The have rooms that will accommodate 2 persons, 3 persons and 4 persons in one room. So if you visit as a group and wish to stay in the same room, Villa Deux Rivieres Hotel has rooms with a maximum capacity of 4 persons.

2. Water pressure is very strong.

3. Air conditioning is very strong.

4. Toilet and bathroom is very spacious, with tub, walk-in shower, bidet and plenty of towels.
