Green Box Hotel

Not sure what the higher price for a night here is really paying for... place feels like it could do with a bit of love. Everything a bit worn around the edges and dirty, but beds were comfortable and good hot shower and WiFi. A good stop for one night to catch up on some sleep

The hotel has a perfect location, bathrooms are really clean and the breakfast is good taking into account the price! Bread, fried eggs, butter, jam, tea and coffee. The only thing that should be improved are the beds that are really hard. Overall, good value for many!

I loved the capsules and the beds were very comfortable. Showers and bathrooms were clean. A bit of a walk from things but a nice part of town which was awesome.

Green Box is a great capsule hotel. It has clean, private and spacial capsules and big lockers for your belongings. It does the job of only being a place to rest your head. Not really a posh hotel as some prefer. Good experience overall.

Had a double capsule, roomy and private. Good aircon and WiFi. Place has good food options at the same prices as outside. Breakfast simple, fried egg and toast. Water for sinks/showers wasn’t working but quickly rectified. Close to bus station and airport.

Pros: location, price, great breakfast, toilets are clean, beds are clean and very comfortable, kind personel, efficient AC Cons: locker under bed is in bad shape (very easy to open), computers are in very bad shape, some area in the sleeping dorm looks like never cleaned, carpet in dorm dirty not pleasant to go bare foot

The price was reasonable.

Everything was good here. Was just passing through for the night but will definitely stay here again.

Pros: - breakfast is included though simple - walking distance to the temples & other tourist sites - several bathrooms per floor so we didn’t have to line up for our turn Cons: - rooms were not so clean. We even asked to transfer beds because the first one assigned to us was dusty - mosquitoes in the room, so bring mosquito repellants - most staff were not so fluent in english so it was hard to communicate. My friend lost her towel & we spent almost 30 minutes explaining our situation & asking the staff to find it. We didn’t see any effort in their part to locate it. Kudos though for Tak(?) for being so friendly & accommodating when we arrived. The other staff were not the same - the locks on our assigned lockers were broken - some heaters on the bathroom were not working

I had a good stay here. I chose the dorm with 10 beds. The room was nicely air-conditioned and the cubes give a nice sense of privacy. However, someone of my roommates left the door open during the evening and the result was that I was covered with mosquito bites the next day. Tip: if you stay here: cover yourself with bug spray. Other than that, it's a good hostel.

First time staying in a "capsule" hotel. Staff was always so friendly and welcoming. Very helpful with our many requests. Bathroom was always clean and so were the rooms. The road was a bit noisy but that's a trade off with the excellent location. Highly recommend this place. Bonus: the food was fantastic and very affordable.

the box is comfortable, the matraze good for sleeping, small breakfast for the start in the day ok, competent english speaking staff, good food, good city location, but: not suitable for a long term stay!

Air con on all day in the dorm, 3 shower all very clean. Comfortable bed (hard SE Asia style) with privacy curtain. Very large storage unit in dorm with lock provided. Very helpful staff. Wifi is very weak in the dorm (1st floor) but fine in the reception area. Bicycles are terrible, one has a broken pedal and the other you can't adjust the height of the seat but for 10000kip a day you can't complain!

I stayed in a "Capscule". They change the sheets etc regularly, so it's quite clean. The storage space provided is secure and sufficient. The bed was comfortable too. The breakfast is pretty good. They have sliced bread, freshly fried eggs and tea/coffee. One of the better breakfasts I've had while travelling on a budget in Laos. They charge 15K Kip for providing a towel, which I think is kinda silly, since even cheap budget hostels in Laos at the very least provide you a towel. And in case you want to change money at the hotel, the rates provided are pretty terrible (I've been to hostels where they provide very close to market rates).. Other than that, the staff's nice and helpful, though not the most fluent in English.

Minimarket and cafés nearby. Wifi OK. Front door is locked around 10 - 11 PM - staff sleep in reception so they will open the door at night. Noise from the street can be heard very well in the room. Toast, fried eggs and instant coffee are included for breakfast. Food, such as rice and noodle dishes, can be ordered in the reception. Shampoo and soap complimentary in nice bathrooms - three on each floor. A bit hard matress. Spacious lookers underneath the beds.

No

The location is really good, bed was really hard, and the double box we slept ind was not in the best condition. Breakfast, really not worth it, cold eggs and white toast bread.. not even possible to get real coffee. We booked transport to Vang Vieng at the hotel, however, something went wrong and we had to wait 5 hours in Vientiane.

The facilities are nothing to mention as you can find much better hotel nearby with this value of money. The unbearable part is that we found two cockroaches after we first got into the room for just 15mins. The worst part was buying bus tickets through this hotel. We bought two tickets from Vientiane to Kong Lor (the village just 1km from the famous Kong Lor Cave) Each ticket cost 130,000 kip (it cost 80,000 kip if you buy in southern bus station), our tickets price included pick up from hotel to southern bus station which is 9km distance from city centre. The hotel manager took us 260,000 kip and said the bus will take us to kong lor village directly. The bus departed at 10am , after 6 hours, we were 40km away from our destination - kong lor village. However, the bus driver told us to leave the bus and get on a tuk tuk if we want to go further to kong lor village. The tuk tuk driver charged us 25,000 kip each for this ride, we argued that our tickets shown the destination was kong lor but the bus driver said everyone going to kong lor have to change here, then the bus driver drove away. We called the green box hotel manager who sold us the tickets and charged us 260,000 kip for this shit, we let the tuk tuk driver talked to the hotel manager, after half an hour translation and negotiations, the hotel manager insisted that this is the destination of the bus route, he couldn't help us in anyways. Sadly, the hotel manager told us the road was blocked due to flooding. (Later, we knew that the flooding happened at least a week ago, so the hotel manager should let us know when he sold us bus tickets) Eventually, we had to changed two tuk tuk and one boat in order to get to kong lor village, the price was hardly bargainable, we paid 40,000 kip each to finally get there, and of course, every driver tried their best to overcharged. End of story, what a mess, what a country!

Reading recent review about mosquito, didn't have that problem when I was there, which I am grateful. I did brought my electric Mosquito Repellent to use when i was sleeping, even without that, i felt no mosquito disturbance. Probably different season. Location was pretty good, I've managed to walk to all destination without problem, & it's still pretty quiet during the night. It's pretty Clean place, toilets on that floor that i stayed is clean too, just that some of the bathroom have heater without strong pressure and another is strong pressure without the heater. Staff was good, helpful throughout the time i was there. About the place, capsule bed mattress is hard, but still acceptable for me. Electric plug provided with two lighting at your bed. The lockers below the bed, i think 50% of the lockers at the room is spoil, so manage to talk to them to give me the workable locker to put my staff away.

Not worth it, even at its price range. There were too many mosquitoes hanging around in the bathroom and bedroom, which made the stay unpleasant. The air-conditioning also made loud sputtering noises throughout the night which prevented us from sleeping well.
