I stayed here for six nights, and the staff were very friendly. It’s easy to walk to nearby shops, and the area is peaceful and quiet. The views of the river and the surrounding mountains are beautiful. I really enjoyed the free breakfast—my favorite dish was the noodle soup. Overall, it’s a very good place to stay, and the price is reasonable.

Basically little run down,
You might want to call the hotel and book a Riverview Road. The one they gave us was their Expedia room which was City View not as pretty view
Fitnesscenter außer betrieb. Pool seit Tagen wohl nicht gereinigt. Außenanlagen verwuchern. Es riecht überall nach Schimmel und das Frühstück ist ein Witz.

Arawan Riverside Pakse, Laos
Mainoskuvat aivan muuta kuin todellisuus, uima- allas likainen eikä voinut käyttää. Ympäristö samoin rikkinäinen ja palvelut poissa. Rantamaja tyhjä. Wifi ei toiminut huoneessa. Aamiainen huono. Vain muutama puhui englantia. Huone ok.

Very good location the room is big and cleaned . Good customer service
Property in okay condition, good breakfast. Staffs very nice.
The bathroom needed the grouts clean. The sewer system not good, when shower the water not going down the drain.
This hotel should be far better than we found it. This a large hotel with a bar that was closed in the evening. The swimming pool was green with algae which I think is an indication that it is not being treated correctly with chemicals. There are no sun shades around the pool which made it unusable during the day due to the hot temperatures.
The location is poor as it it is away from the restaurants. We went out one evening and had to walk back due to the lack of tuk tuks.
On the positive side the rooms were spacious and the views of the river geat.
The only restaurant in the hotel was Chinese and charged for the ice to go into the drinks.

Unorganized
Booked a double sided bed. Gave us two rooms one bed. Paid by credit card but also paid on cash. Clerk had to return money later. The standard room was dull and outdated. Bathroom had only tub no standing shower. Internet did not work. Requested to fix but did not while we were there. Eating area outside was slapped together. Would not recommend. Look for a better stay.

Inne var hotellet OK, men ute bar det preg av manglende vedlikehold, slitt og forsøplet.
Chambre sans intérêt si ce n'est la vue sur le Mékong, restaurant triste, piscine sur une dalle de béton sans rien autour, impraticable . A éviter , choisir plutôt le Grand Champassak, juste à côté.

Nice pool, great staff, clean.
Nice place, nearly empty for the first few days we stayed, then a wedding on Friday night brought in some people.
The river view from the "river" side room is amazing. The backside rooms look over a reception hall, some wires, a business or two and you can possibly see the mountains in a distance.
Get the BREAKFAST. Its buffet and its big. Plenty of choices. One morning we were the only people eating in a nice place that must seat 100.
The "Chinese" restaurant really doesn't have any Chinese food, serves small portions and the Indian curry was bland. Skip it.
That said, the nearest restaurant or street vendor is about a kilometer away. I RECOMMEND the hotel provide free bicycles (they said they didn't have any for free or for rent) and rent scooters because the hotel aways from everything.
The pool is nice. The pool is big and nice. The pool is well maintained and one can view the river while in it. The wooden pool lounge chairs need simple repairs and refinishing. They look like pool chairs in a $3/night hotel in India.
The cement around the pool area could use a facelift and repairs.
So mostly cheap simple repairs to make this hotel a beautiful, top notch Asian hotel.

Restaurant was horribly overpriced and the food was mediocre at best. It is located out of town so a tuk tuk is required to go anywhere. They provided a pamphlet listing different amenities that didn't exist. However it was very nice on the Mekong and to see the gold Buddha on the hill and had a swimming pool however they didn't provide pool towels.
