Each dormitory room comes with air conditioning. Some units have a balcony with city view. The air-conditioned dormitory rooms have safety deposit boxes and guests have access to shared bathrooms.

I enjoyed my stay at this hostel. It's in a great location, close to the center, so you can easily walk there and explore the area. There are some nice bars around the hostel, too. Plus, it's just a 5-minute walk to the center, where there's even more to see. There are two really good pizza places nearby as well. The breakfast provided by the host was very tasty, and they also offered plenty of food options at good prices in their restaurant. The staff is friendly and can help with everything, making the stay even more pleasant. I recommend this hostel because it's a great deal for the price and location. The beds are comfortable, and there's a small area where you can work or play billiards.

    Moved from another hostel in town which was quiet empty and not very social. Definitely one of the best hostels I've been in 4 months backpacking SEA. The owners are ex backpackers with lots of tips for Laos and also other countries. Easy to book transport. Good value food at the restaurant and bar has happy hour every day with free drinks. Swimming pool with all day sun

    It’s definitely value for money as there isn’t much between a hostel dormitory and more comfortable hotels. It’s in a great location right next to the market but if you choose a room without a balcony you can’t hear it. The bed was clean and there was enough room for my stuff. It’s easy to order a Loca or Indrive taxi even at 5am. I prebooked and it came 10mins early.

    I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hostel!! The accomodation was cheap and this was possibly the best hostel I have stayed at during my 6-month solo trip. Room was clean, bathrooms were great and the staff were all very kind ☺️ Plus you get free breakfast which is minimal but very reasonable and generous for the low price :) would definitely stay here again next time I visit Vientiane!
