A beautiful, charming location right on the Nam Ou River. I spent two sparkling evenings at the Nong Kiau Riverside restaurant drinking and admiring the sunset. Great staff--from the porter (Mr. War, a convivial presence, who was born in 1975, following the Vietnam War) to the desk clerks and wait staff. Very warm and inviting place and people. The rooms are individual cabins of teak and thatch on stilts overlooking the river, outfitted with a queen size bed (including mosquito net, which I used), desk, and luggage rack, and perfectly comfortable. While some Western guests may complain about the hardness of the bed, it was a perfect firmness for me. Some may consider the rooms a little on the rustic side, with small cracks and gaps between the floorboards in the room and on the balcony, but the location, great view, and overall situation more than make up for it. Expect some harmless, friendly nightly gecko visitors. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here.
