    Great locations, amazing staff”

    I had such an unexpectedly amazing time in Vientiane! The staff here were so accommodating and helpful - they printed my Vietnam visa for me and let me shower after checkout. This is one of the least expensive hostels around and undoubtedly a bargain for what you get. However, I will say that the beds were not comfortable, so if this is a high priority, it might be an issue for you. The location was PERFECT because you’re right in between the two night markets, close to some lovely cafes, and one of the best Indian restaurants in Laos 😍 (Jamil Zahid Punjabi restaurant). I would definitely come back again!

    I love the Cafe very much. food is delicious and reasonable price, booking with breakfast is definitely worth it. Wifi connection is good both Cafe and room with a different network. staff is friendly and nice. But is just not my day when I check-in, I request for lower bunk and they assign the bed most near to the door. the AC is end of the room so my bed is very hot all the time even middle of the night especially some of the roommates didn't close the door when they in and out. I wake a few time at night due to the heat. Found a bedbug on the bed 1st night and 2 cockroach in the toilet on the 2nd day. It really ruins my day after a heated night.

    Good for budget stay in Vientiane”

    I stayed in female dorm. The space was limited, and bed was more like tatami mat. Air conditioning was minimum, and I was hot all the time. Staffs were nice. The location is little far from shops and restaurants if you don’t like to walk. It was convenient for me since air port shuttle run right in front of the hostel.
