The only room available was a big corner room with two single and a double bed @ 120'000 kip. The room itself was pretty shabby. Moldy walls, the floor a collection of ripped lino, the badroom in desperate need of a cleaning. The double bed was unusable. The 2mx2m mattress was just springs without any padding set on a single bed base. One of the single beds had 2 legs missing and sloping to the left. Unusable too. The second single bed was OK but not for two people. On the positive side, staff was friendly and the aircon did work. Sleeping on the floor was the best alternative for the night.

The Mekong is OK for the price, it's very old and very dirty, the location is the selling point right on the Mekong river, and very close to the Thai embassy, there is a restaurant on site, but is not owned by the hotel itself, Basicaly the hotel is a short time hotel, lots of ladyboys and other sex workers hanging around all day and night, but if you are only staying for the one night on a visa run then its OK. There are other fair to good hotels in the area but not on the river, The Mekong and Nong Soda are the only two.
