              Overpriced, ordinary hotel full of Korean tours ”

              The location was good, with a nice view but that was about it. Noisy tourists, bad food, internet didn't work, TV signal poor, boring

              I booked this hotel because most of the other good hotels were either full or too expensive. The Riverside Boutique Hotel was twice the price of my last trip so was out this time, while a reviewer claimed that the Inthira was noisy due to a nearby bar, so I chose this place. What a bad decision that would turn out to be. First impressions were a chaotic hotel with poor management, full of bored looking Korean tourists sitting on the chairs in the "lobby" with kids running around, people slamming doors every minute, tourists making noise splashing around in the pool despite continuous, heavy rain outside. And it didn't end in the evening, because some crazy couple decided to go swimming at 2 or 3am in the middle of the night!! laughing and not giving a damn about other guests. The advertised wifi did not work, while the TV, with mostly Thai channels (this was OK as I am fluent in Thai) and a couple of English language channels from a Thai cable TV operator (True) had a message come up on the screen that payment should be made within 24 hours or service will be suspended, a further sign of very poor management. I was the only westerner who stayed as a guest on the night we stayed, although the following morning a western father and son driving a Lao car checked in. I should have told them not to. However, the fact almost nobody except Korean tourists and a few Lao from Vientiane stayed at this hotel was little surprise - it was not a pleasant experience. Breakfast was also bad - cold fried rice, two pieces of fruit and some noodle soup. In town you can find places half the price and of far superior quality, not to mention in Thailand. A piece of advice - stay away from this hotel.

              Making out to be better than it is!”

              This place was certainly NOT worth the money. Ok it might not seem like loads but I've been travelling SEA for 3 months now and have paid a lot less for a lot better! Positives: -There is a pool. -Lift so no dragging bags upstairs. -Beds are comfortable. -A/C pretty good. -Some members of staff. Negatives: -The pool area is not always clean (maybe they should spend less time sweeping the carpark and have a crack at the pool side). -Sunbeds are very hard they need cushions. -Shower water pressure was awful and only had two settings: boiling hot or freezing cold. -Most of the staff are useless (although two gentlemen were very helpful). One of the women was just awful. Asked her to have my room cleaned, she said yea yes and then two hours later i come back from the pool to find its not done. She clearly doesnt understand English and instead of asking me again and getting help she just says yes to everything! -Breakfast for a westener was poor. We only went once. -Also the day Koreans decided to sing Karoke all day next to the pool and get smashed. This place is certainly geared towards more Asian travellers then westen ones.

              Above average”

              The room itself was ok, bed was nice, but the bathroom was atrocious with water leaking everywhere out of the bath/shower stains from the water made the room look unclean. The restaurant was not clean, the food for breakfast was very ordinary. Considering this is suppose to be a 4 star hotel, there needs alot of improvement to get 4 stars..

              Service,Scenery, Service

              I am satisfied about the service of receptionist. They call the tour when the customer didn't catch up tour and take care of customers. The scenery is really awesome. There is Song river and mountain view beside. Really superb. However, breakfast is not quite good. If you come 8 AM, there is no food for you at all. The location is quite far when comparing with the others, so there is bicycle rental for traveler.

              1. They could not find my reservation even having presented them my booking number. 2. No coffee provided in the room for that kind of money 3. Breakfast off at 9.30am. No refill and staff did not tell us that they were closing the line. 4. Staff just dump the leftover into the river infront of the guest. 5. No hot shower and staff could not explain why. Although front office said someone will come to check, none came.

              there were fleas on our matress. we demanded to see another room. it was also infested with bugs. the staff treated us as if we were overreacting. they took us to their sister hotel becuase they refused to refund our money and it was also a dump. outdated bathrooms with cold showers and cockroaches. very unhappy with this location!

              You pay, you get room. That is the extent of what you'll get here. Everything else is borderline acceptable.
