Probably best value you can get in this quiet central location + Good breakfast with available free tea/coffee all day is a big bonus. Comfortable rooms with storage boxes and key lock available for small deposit.. Usually fully booked so booking in advance is recommended, but if you wanna take the risk you and just show up you will get better price.. You can change $ there for normal rate and have transfer options available for your next stop..

Awesome youth hostel in a very convenient location in the city center. Supermarket and fruit stores 3 minutes walk. A large green area around the pool with sun loungers and additional cabins with showers and toilets. The pool is cleaned every day. Bar-cafe with pleasant music and convenient areas with power outlets. The beds are absolutely amazing. In fact, these are not beds in the usual sense, but large cells with a comfortable mattress. They do not move or creak and people do not interfere with each other with their movements. Inside there is a large shelf and an individual spacious safe, as well as a fan. Each room has its own shower and toilet. All is clear. Air conditioners are quiet. Overall it was a very enjoyable time. Well, I would like to express special thanks to the hotel staff for their honesty and responsiveness. I forgot the money in the opening safe box when leaving and only remembered 5 hours later, when I left for another city. They kindly kept them for me for 3 days until I returned. I thank you from the bottom of my heart and recommend this place!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Honestly the best hostel I have stayed in so far. It was worth the money. We stayed in a dorm of 12, thoguth it’d be a disaster but it was so specious and bed was super comfy. All the bunks were a bit more than single beds and had enough privacy. Very clean, the cleaner did a good job every single day. We had pool, could go for a swim anytime. Bar and restaurant was available. Free water. Staff were super helpful and friendly. They were professional and sorted out any problems occurred.

    A great location, right next to the night market! I stayed with a friend in the dormitory, a clean, new and comfortable room with very clean sheets!!! The showers and bathrooms are outside the room and very clean as well! The best part was the host, Mr MK who know perfect English, has a lot of knowledge about Laos and helped us with visa extensions, booking a boat to our next destination, giving us information about our plans and train rides in Laos and from Laos to China!!!

The staff is super friendly and helpful, the breakfast served every morning is pretty good, the showers are great and the beds are comfortable. Also, great location, you have everything you need around it.

    It is a typical youth hostel with bed in shared dorms. Good atmosphere with backpackers but without noise problem, all quite respectful. Overall quite satisfied if you do not mind to share all, but probably a bit expensive.

    The best hostel on all my travels. Jp and Billie go out of their way to make your stay as good as can be. Almost criminally cheap. If you have a chance, go here. They will expand soon, so more place in La Casa! Got free breakfast daily and free dinner every second day. Very delicious, more than enough and what a bang for your buck! 11/10! Will be back 100%; cheers!

    Great location, friendly & fun owner. The beds are comfortable, Ac and fan in room. Big area to relax up and downstairs. Free drinking water, 50m to the Mekong. It's Old name is Friendly Hostel, it's 10m away from Downtown Backpackers 2, the dot is not 100%right on the booking map. But very close.
