Vientiane Hostels

Overall a really good hostel to stay in Vientiane. We couldn't find any available rooms online anymore so we direct messaged them on Facebook and it turned out they still had a twin room free for our dates. The room was not very large but big enough to be comfortable in. Bathroom was clean but the toilet seat was loose so had to be careful using this. All in all the room was good enough for us. The café downstairs is really nice, breakfast that was included was lovely and large portions (especially the rice soup) and the food we had for lunch there was amazing. Really nice vibes as well so you could even come here just for the food if you're staying elsewhere. The only minus for this place is the location. It's a bit on the edge of the city centre and quite a walk away from the hustle and bustle. There's some things to do close by, like the famous arch, but most good restaurants and bars are on the other end of the centre 15-20 minutes walk away. We don't mind walking a bit so not a huge problem for us but just something to keep in mind. We also organised our transport, the sleeper bus service to Pakse, which all went really well. They picked us up in a minivan at the agreed time and brought us to the bus station. There the driver paid for our tickets and showed us to our sleeper bus. We were surprised by the bus in a positive way, which was much better and nicer than we expected from all the stories we'd heard. It looked like the driver bought the tickets from a company called Chitprasong and they used King of Bus buses which were pretty comfortable. Just be aware the beds are for 2 people so if you're alone you'll have to share with a stranger. All in all highly recommend though

I had mixed reservations about this place due to the reviews but many other hostels in Vientiane had reviews where guests had had things stolen whereas this one did not. However, I had only minor problems with the place and, as I didn’t really leave due to arriving late in the day on a bus from Vang Vieng, it wasn’t too bad. The few problems I had were: - the metal lockers under the beds. Even when padlocking them shut, the doors can be pulled open just enough to slip an arm in. Plus, if someone were to pull the bunk bed away from the wall, they could access the locker through the back as it wasn’t covered. It still gets five stars as even though the lockers were inadequate it didn’t affect me. Had I paid more money, I would have expected better.

Located in the heart of Vientiane City, this hotel is close to the Presidential Palace and the Arc de Triomphe. There are more restaurants nearby. The hotel is booked online, but pays cash at the front desk and does not support credit card and Alipay payments. The room has air conditioning, the toilet and shower are separate and common. The hardware is very simple, but the bed linen is very white, it should be the newly purchased cloth. Breakfast, bananas, bread, coffee, tea, and a simple breakfast buffet are available.

The reception answered all my questions in a good manner. It was nice to take a nap in the lobby while waiting for the check in time. Yes it was loud by some other guest outside the door but that's not managements problem. For some reason many complained about loud guests at night and I had the similar problem. Shower and toilet area is good. The reception answered all my questions in a good manner. It was nice to take a nap in the lobby while waiting for the check in time.

Extremely disappointed with the apartment. Tired after 2 years of being closed. Bathroom was awful - no water pressure, no bathmat, one old towel, 1 tiny cake of soap for the 5 nights and the smell was horrendous. I had to ask for toilet paper as only half a small roll was provided. The WIFI didn't work 99% of the time. The TV didn't work at all. The aircon - constantly dripped so much so that the entire floor and bottom of the bed were soaked most mornings - it didn't cool very well so luckily an old pedestal fan was there as a back up. The kitchen had a microwave and fridge and a few plates but that's about it - nothing to wash the dishes with, cutlery and plates dirty - as obviously been left unwashed for quiet some time. Bed linen was stained and old and only changed on Day 5 of my stay It took me telling them I was leaving to get someone to clean my room - that was on Day 5! On check-in was not offered any help with luggage - and I was on the 4th floor - so struggled up 4 flights of steep stairs at night in an extremely badly lit stairwell. Most mornings and nights the reception appeared to be abandoned - the front gate was shut at around 6pm and the main front door locked - luckily I saw another guest coming out the side door - or Would have been locked out. Occasionally a boy - always appeared to be dressed only in his boxer shorts would appear and say hello.

I decided to try this new hostel as a budget alternative. It is dormitory style, in a kind of mini-cube design, like Japanese hostels I have read about, but with curtains instead of secure doors. On the plus side: Everything was very clean. The shower was nice and hot. The plumbing all worked. The reception area is a nice coffee bar with good food, coffee and tea and good WiFi internet and a nice loop of current music by the original artists. There is also a 4th floor balcony to watch the sunrise. On the minus side: There were no power outlets in the reception area. (But there are two in each cubiicle.) The shower had no hooks or rack to hang a towel or clothes. The cubicles have no secure door, just a curtain. (But there is a separate locker for each cubicle to secure luggage and valuables.) There was no hot water for coffee available early before 6:00 am. And the sleeping area was refrigirated to about 20 degrees C (but the comforter was nice and warm all night). I might try it again, and I will definitely be back to enjoy the coffee.

It was comfortable with curtains and air conditioning. Of course, there is also an outlet for each bed. There are a lot of mosquitoes, so you should bring bug spray.

I book myself and for my friend too because this hostel is so amazing that's why I recommend all
