Nearby the walking street and night Market. It was surrounded with all the tour and bus agency which makes it easy for you to book anything that you need. Great place to stay when you're on a budget.

        Strong points: Kind, smiling staff, Phan (?) Excellent breakfast The double room with beautiful sunshine I was very relaxed and happy with sunshine. After getting up, always opened the windows and enjoyed the beautiful sunshine. Next time I wanna live there for a month. Week points: There is a big building under construction next to the guest house. So when u stay at the room right next to the building under construction, it might be noisy. Usually the noise starts 8 am. But luckily I was ok because my room was a little far away of the building under construction.

        Value for money accommodation”

        It was mainly a dorm-style hostel accommodation, but I got a private room here. Located on the main road and with Vang Vieng being a small town, you are in close proximity to almost everything like eateries, shops, and the night market. The room was spartan and reminded me of my time in the army, but there were a strong ceiling fan and working aircon. There were lots of cobwebs in the corners of the room but otherwise, it was somewhat clean and adequate. Beds were comfy to sleep in and the staff was friendly. WiFi was terrible though, which I found to be generally the case in Laos.

The private room was also clean. The breakfast was also good. And I could make a reservation to have one-day tour in this hostel. Next time if I visit Vang Vieng I want to stay this hostel.

        I booked my activities through KLook and it gave me trouble that I had to cancel them. Got the advice/recommendation from the staff to rebook everything, very helpful staff. After I checked out, I was allowed to use the common bathroom too before my ride back to Luang Prabang. The location is not centralized, but not too far to walk to the famous spots. My room’s toilet has got a little smell but acceptable, could be improved. Overall I would recommend this place to others if you do not like noisy and party nights.

        Nice Hostel with Free Breakfast”

        Had a comfortable stay for 3 nights. Located on the main road and very close to the walking streets for the night market. We booked a double room with private bathroom, and also got a small balcony as we had the end room. The room was clean enough and had A/C and fan, not much else included. The blanket on the bed in a bit small but other than that can't complain. Breakfast was a nice addition as there were plenty of options. Staff were friendly and helpful, especially they helped us to book our bus to Vientiane . Had to pay at hotel, but they have the option to pay by card (3% fee added) if required. Internet was ok, though was a little slow at times.

        Clean and comfortable”

        After reading many reviews from hostels in Vang Vieng, I think this is the best place if you want a relatively quiet hostel, but where you can still meet people. Pros: • Clean (I saw them cleaning often and I sometimes even walked barefeet to the toilet) • Comfortable bed (although strange that my feet could touch my neighbours head, but that could be solved by me turning around what I did not do because I was already used to it when he came). • Breakfast was good (noodles, egg with fruit or just fruits, all with as much free salad and baguette slices as you want). You could use the oven to make the break crispy! • Staff was friendly, but not very interested compared to places where I went before. Did their jobs. • Walking distance to everything else was not bad, because the city is small. But people I met always said goodbye around their hostel when I still had to walk 5 to 10 minutes to mine. Cons: • After getting back my laundry, I had clothes from other people in my bag. I do not remember what I put in so maybe someone who did not look took my stuff as well without me knowing now. • I booked a minivan this morning in an office what was 10 minutes walking. I packed my bag so that it wss hard to walk a lot with it, but they would pick me up at 10 am or later. When I checked out at a few minutes before 10, the receptionist told me that I had to go to the office where I booked, because they already came 3 times to pick me up??? They knew my name, room and bed number so not sure why the receptionist not tried to find me when the pick up arrived way early. Not sure whether he had the chance to ask the driver who should step in, but since my backpack was as good as ready at my bed he could know it was me. So no fault, just a lack of service in my eyes, which made this a 3 star instead of 4 star. • No fun thing to meet people easily, like a pool table or table football. Would have made this hostel perfect! • Airconditioning / fan system made me sick every morning. Aft

        The private room had no window at all, which was okay for us, but we didn’t know prior to arrival as it was not indicated anywhere on Agoda. The bed was comfy (memory foam mattress) but the AC was very very loud and leaky (water would drip on the floor until we turn it off). We had small ants in the bathroom and found a cockroach in the room, so cleanliness could have been better. Breakfast was little and simple. You get free salad and cucumbers with the breakfast but they are full of flies. The tours in the street were much cheaper than the ones sold by the hostel. Overall, it was an okay stay. Very close to night market.

        Good social hostel without the party. Great beds, showers & room size (private double room). Location about 10min walk from town. Good breakfast with lots of options. Staff were alright but not very friendly. The lady at breakfast always acted strange when we asked for butter for our bread.

        Nice basic hostel, Pan is great guy”

        The hostel is basic, it’s indeed like an army barrack, but it’s reasonably clean with spacious rooms. Reasonably quiet, not many backpackers while I was there. The dorm room only has 4 single beds while it’s 30sqm. Breakfast is ok while simple like other hostels. The receptionist/tourist information/booking agent/problem solver, named Pan is most friendly and helpful with always a smile. He is there 24/7. Flexible. Thank you Pan!! I recommend to stay here.
