Quaint, Good Breakfast
Staff were helpful, owners served breakfast each morning, which was AMAZING! I stayed on the second floor, room #5. Hotel was quiet because all the guests (except 1) made an effort to be quiet and respectful (walls are thin). It was a basic hotel, cute balconies, bathroom light didn’t always work and the bed was hard as a rock but otherwise I liked the place and would recommend.

Highly recommended.
Wonderful owners and staff who have a wealth of knowledge about the area. Great breakfast and comfortable bed. My only complaint is how thin the walls are meaning you can hear what is happening in surrounding rooms. Definitely better than 2 stars. Highly recommended.

Very quirky little place , amazing people who are prepared to help you st any point. We were upgraded to a delux room with a balcony and views were just outstanding of the river - very relaxing to have a cup of coffee in a morning. It’s a little walk of 15min to the night market. To get to hotel from airport we would recommend capturing the tuk tuk for 40KIP (around $4) Great breakfast ! Cooked to order and fruits , pancake , good strong coffee. If only one down side we just couldn’t get WiFi connection in a room I would definitely recommend and be back again!

Excellent two-week stay!
My husband and I stayed at Cold River for two weeks while I caught up on some work during a year-long trip. I cannot recommend it enough. The hotel is lovely, the rooms are comfortable, the breakfast is nice, and the hosts are incredibly helpful and kind. They helped us arrange at tuk tuk for the day to tour the waterfalls and graciously kept our bags for us while we went to the elephant center. If you're looking at a lot of options, close the other windows and book it.

Loved Cold River in Luang Prabang
This was a great place to stay! We stayed 5 nights and loved the hotel and the city. The hotel is in a quiet area outside of the touristy area but within walking distance (for us about 15 minutes) of the tourist streets (restaurants, bars, shops, night market, etc.). Breakfast was great with fruit, yogurt, coffee or tea, baguette and hot options. They has refillable water bottles for use and a couple filtration locations for filling up, in an effort to decrease waste from buying lots of bottled water!! The staff were friendly and many spoke English well. We had laundry done and the rate was good and done quickly. Wifi was OK in room.

Very friendly staff, happy to help and advise for the local area and sort an effiecient laundry service. The room was excellent - very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was also excellent - consisting of crepes and fresh fruit, then eggs and fresh bread and jams, all delicious. Last but not least, the plastic reduction measures of the owners (filtered water refill only) were a pleasant and appreciated touch.
