Please make sure you lock away ANY valuables ”

Great hostel very chilled... Comes with great breakfast and a pool which tbh is a god send in the hot weather... Everyone is super friendly and the place is relatively clean. Please please please lock any valuables away in a locker and keep locked at all times as someone stolen 15000 baht and 300 in British pounds from me and am very confident my locker was unlocked got no more than 5 minutes whilst I was on the shower in the dorm so I was gone for less than 5 minutes no more than 20 meters away... Cannot blame the hostel as my own stupid fault not that they were remotely interested though but hey no one died and I've learnt a very expensive lesson. Let mh lesson be one to you all.... Travel safe x

Breakfast only good thing”

Very expensive for what it is. Beds were tiny, my light was hanging off wall, my curtail ripped so didn’t shut properly. One night my partner didn’t have a sheet. No shelf on top bunks. Bunks themselves shook whenever the top person was getting on or off. The pool looked dirty so we never used it. And the outside toilets always flooded and dirty. Nice chill out area and great breakfast to order. The neighbours unfortunately not so nice playing very loud music from 6:30AM sometimes. The lady was very nice from hostel and helpful in booking trips and I feel sorry for them being let down by their neighbours. We paid for four nights and decided to skip on after three. It has great potential but more care and cleanliness is required. Very close to utopia and also a nice pizza restaurant

Chilled but very sociable”

If you don’t want a party hostel with loud music but you do want one where you can meet lots of people then this is perfect. Plus it’s got a lovely view of the river and a nice cold pool. Dorms have an en-suite shower separate from the toilet which was nice and hot. We had privacy curtains. Best hostel I’ve stayed in so far.

Budget stay ”

I personally did not love my stay here. The pool was not clean and my dorm (8 beds) was clean, but not well maintained and felt more like a prison cell without any windows, sunlight and horrible air. The hostel has a good service counter and is well located, just a short walk from the old town. Tea and bananas are free. Nonetheless, I would not want to stay in said dorm due to the described conditions again, even though the prices are very cheap.

I booked one day in this hostel because of the pool, and afterwards went to another one. I was really happy with this choice. The hostel is too expensive for what you get (no breakfast, small dark dorm room). Location is not great, other side of the temple is better.

Worst hostel in Luang Prabang ”

The staff (and especially the owner) is arrogant. I’m sad I gave them any Kip while they don’t deserved any! The dormitory is one of the worst I had so far in Laos : not clean, bed uncomfortable, span between the bed and the wall so if you drop something it just falls on the ground, A/C not working, curtains destroyed, bathroom not clean,... The breakfast is terrible and the juice is a joke. There are so many hostels in LP that I could only recommend you to pass your way.

Good hostel but not always reliable”

Location is good, swimming pool is nice and there is a large ‘chilling area’ very social hostel. Absolutely not a party hostel though. Downside: I had to check out at 6AM because of an early flight. Employee said it was no problem, he would be there (had to get money back for the towel deposit). Also he would reserve a tuktuk for me. Of course I double checked everything with him. Unfortunately there was nobody there, after waiting for more than 15 min I had to leave because I had to catch my flight. Had to search for a tuktuk myself (there at not that many on the streets at 6AM) and did not get my money back obviously. So don’t rely on the staff too much for these kind of things.

Pros- free breakfast, close to utopia and the main area, the man who runs it is so nice and friendly and always cheerful, always a good group of people and the decking is really sociable, pool too which is good. The rooms are clean and toilet and shower are in each dorm. Cons- the WiFi isnt great and the aircon in the rooms is pretty much non-functional. 7/10

Good value for what you get...decent breakfast for a hostel and the bed was comfy. Rooms didn't have locks on the doors or a window but for the price it's a good deal, though I wouldn't stay here again. Basically I'm a bit old for this type of hostel but there was nothing wrong with it!

I had to sleep outside”

I don’t like to give bad reviews typically, however i am very upset by my stay at sunrise . I had a booking on Agoda and i messaged saying i would be coming in very late in the night for check in as my bus arrived late. When i arrived, there was not a bed open as someone else was in my bed that was supposed to leave. I had to sleep outside. Honestly not a big deal, a bit uncomfortable and very cold at night in Luang Prabang. But then in the morning the staff never apologized or anything to me, and actually were going to make me PAY for my night sleeping outside. I was astonished. Worst hostel experience i’ve ever had

Völlig viel zu teuer für ein Bett im 6-Bett-Dorm. Das Zimmer ist dunkel, es riecht feucht und modrig und es ist eng. Das Waschbecken steht im Raum, Toilette und Dusche sind extra. An der Decke hingen einige Weberknechte und Insektenleichen mit Spinnweben. Für jemanden mit einer Spinnenphobie wie mich absolut schrecklich. Die Lage ist wenigstens gut. Trotzdem habe ich nach einer schlaflosen Nacht meinen Aufenthalt abgebrochen.
