The real draw here is the unparalleled views, so ask for a room on the Mekong/sunset side, where you can enjoy the scenery from your own small balcony.

Lonely Planet "On an island in the Mekong believed to be home to a powerful naga, this gargantuan monstrosity was built for the Asean conference in 2004." Full review
