Good Breakfast Experience

“Every morning, I was thrilled to enjoy a breakfast menu featuring around ten different options, including a variety of drinks. I tried a different dish each day for four mornings, and I was never disappointed. Eating right by the river added to the lovely atmosphere!” view full review

Comfortable Room with Balcony

“I stayed in room #10, the corner unit with a river-facing balcony. The room had a king bed and they even accommodated an extra bed for my dad without any issues. It was great lounging in the lazy chair on the balcony, enjoying the views!” view full review

Great Shower Amenities

“The bathroom had a powerful shower with good hot water pressure. While I would have preferred a separate shower area, I found it typical for the region and was still very satisfied with the overall cleanliness of the bathroom.” view full review

Spacious and Inviting

“My 'superior deluxe' bedroom offered a generous amount of space, making it very comfortable for my 12-night stay. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and despite the simple furnishings, it felt like a cozy retreat after a long day of adventure.” view full review

My stay at Namkhan Riverside Hotel was quite pleasant, thanks to the warm hospitality of the manager, Ben, and his helpful team. However, I did experience some issues with my ground floor room, which was a bit dark and noisy. Overall, it’s a lovely place that’s close to the main attractions and offers nice views by the river.
