The Apsara Rive Droite

Staying here at The APSARA RIVE DROITE was just wonderful. The room is spacious and the linens are very comfortable. The breakfast was just lovely since I don’t eat much. Having a coffee near by the garden and the swimming pool was so relaxing. The service is great and thank you thank the Manager - Mr PeeHan for the great hospitality. He is so kind to arrange a parking space for us. We look forward to staying at this property again in the future.

Faultless charm and luxury What a lovely place. Nothing to criticise and everything to love. Beautiful setting by a branch of the mighty Mekong with a lovely pool, delightful breakfast and charming helpful staff. The British owner - Ivan - was very personable, interesting and helpful and all his team were terrific. He also owns the Apsaran on the other side of the river. He was in the wine business so he has a fantastic selection of reasonably priced wines - better than anything else we saw. The manager Han was brilliant. We had an excellent dinner there one night and it was like a private dining treat. The hotel is on the other side of the branch of the Mekong, so it is quiet and away from the noise of the centre, yet readily accessible to it, especially if you use the little shuttle boat that takes you across the river. The 50 or so steps down (and back up on the other side) to the "ferry" are steep, so if you are elderly or disabled you should take the longer way round by round. But that only costs about US$ 5 in a taxi / tuktuk. We'd stay there again, no question.

Lovely stylish hotel with fantastic service. As there are only a few rooms, the manager Peehan and his staff provide a really friendly personal service with great restaurant recommendations and a free taxi on demand service to and from the town centre (as current river bank works mean the hotel can’t provide its usual boat transport). Appreciated being a little away from the busy town centre. Delicious breakfast with fresh ingredients and excellent coffee. Spacious room, authentically decorated with a very comfortable bed. Particularly enjoyed the private terrace looking out over the river. Clean, good sized pool is perfect for a dip at the end of the day. Two minute walk to the excellent Dyen Sabai restaurant, so can eat very well locally as well as in the centre of town. Would definitely choose to stay here again.

a lovely property with the most amazing staff especially the manager Mr Peehann. Start with the property which was lovely, comfortable and clean with decent sized rooms. The hotel prepared a breakfast each morning with eggs but local pho was available. Additionally the coffee saffron was excellent. The property has a great pool where one can relax and even the cross river boat isn't running and there was no bamboo bridge - the hotel arranged a free taxi into town every day. As mentioned the staff were excellent - Mr Peehann went above and beyond every day - so much so that he even accompanied me to a local bank when I lost my card in the ATM one night. I cannot think of a hotel with better service. As a bonus the area around the hotel is quiet but a few nice bars and place s to eat nearby if you do not fancy town. we even ate in the hotel one evening - the food was great - local lao vegetarian Would stay here again and highly recommended.

Apsara Rive Droite is a home away from home. Located on the quieter side of the river, the hotel is a sanctuary in Luang Prabang. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable with a lovely Laos aesthetic. And did I mention how comfortable the King size bed was. We had a big private balcony with a day bed for reading on the afternoon. The pool is long enough for a few laps and the breakfast by the pool is delicious. This small hotel has a wonderful team of dedicated staff, led by the incomparable Han, who seems to know what you want before you do yourself. Thank you to Ivan also for his personal driver experience.

Apsara Rive Droite is located across the river from the main town. For older people, getting down to the river via rickety stairs may be an issue so they will not be able to use the cute river boat to cross river to get to the main part of town. The room was clean, quiet: a few things needed tinkering with but eventually worked (safe, warm water from shower). Mr Han, the manger is the nicest manager I've ever met. Once, when kitchen was closed, he cooked a simple dinner for me. Their breakfast was the best I had on my trip : fantastic warm bread, great mangoes. Dont get confused between this hotel and the other Apsara - that one is in the main town and although has better convenience, it was too loud for me and I changed to this one. This one is 4 stars whereas the other one is 3 stars. Christopher, the manager, used his own car to help me move and even let me drop by the ATM to get some money so that was very nice of him. There was construction going on so be aware of that.
