We are here as part of a group, yes it's old but it's clean and friendly, beer is cheap. The hot water is good you just have to remember to turn it on. Sadly locals dogs at night create a racket. Great view and close to good Resturants.

Great location on the Mekong river with super friendly restaurant next door. Rooms have a quaint feeling about them. Quiet and homely. Good value. No frills but no hassles either. Stay there every time.

My family recently stayed at the Hotel whilst waiting for our visa. Yes the Hotel is old,tired and needs a refurbishment We had 2 rooms both where CLEAN and the beds comfortable Our room had A/C Frig, TV .Unfortunately no hot water heater disconnected. The Hotel manager was extremely helpful and polite. Without asking helped unload our van which was full up ,as we where on our way to live in Vietnam He even helped us find a Van and driver for our onward journey & got up at 4am to help us load up. The Restaurant opened at 9am for breakfast I had 3 eggs ham and Laos bread.Delicious.We eat in the Restaurant 2 evening ,very good food. Our rooms cost us 400Baht each a night so when you are doing a visa run its good value The view of the Mekong river from the Hotel is superb. In conclusion for the money the Hotel is OK, I did not find any creepy crawly's in our room and the bed was clean If you want something better then you have to spend more money
Room tip: All rooms in a block in its own court yard

Room was shoddy. Dirty bath and no hot water. Kids throwing a ball at our room till late at night. Staff were unfriendly. No one warned us about the 'massage' parlour next door. Don't go. It's a brothel. The hotel is basically used as a Sex workers office. Just avoid. Especially for the price too.

agreed we got there late at night but what a shocker. No taps on the shower so couldn't get clean after long bus journey. Terrible wardrobes and dressers, useless TV and very average bedding. Stayed one night and was anxious to get out early in morning.

Actually, Mekong Hotel is in Thakhek, not in Savannakhet! It is the one, which is also recommended by lonely planet. That's the reason why we booked a room at this hotel.
However, our night at the Mekong Hotel was absolutely horrible!!! We knew that we would reach Thakhek after midnight and therefore booked a room via agoda.com at Mekong hotel because it offers a late check-in option. I also mentioned our late check-in as a special request and even called the hotel on the same day. They assured me that it was no problem. However, when we reached the hotel at night there was no room available. When I showed the receptionist the confirmation of my reservation, she didn't even check on the computer or reservation book if there is a room. She didn't speak English and just went back to sleep into her room! Our friend was looking for another room nearby but soon came back saying there was no room for us. As the area didn't look safe we decided to stay at the hotel and sleep somewhere on the floor. There was no roof, it was freezing cold, dirty, noisy and we even heard rats running around. So we didn't sleep for one minute and left the place at 5:30 am in order to catch the first bus out of the city. Mekong hotel is a place you cannot trust and where people don't care about you if they cannot make money with you. This had never happened to us before in such an aweful kind of way and was the most horrible night we had during our whole trip!
