Probably the best hostel to stay at if you want a social one in the center of the town! Everything is walkable from here. All their volunteers are lovely as well. My only caveat is to NOT book the 16-bed dorm if you're not comfortable with the room getting hot during the day! They routinely turn off the AC most of the daytime (which is a con for me, it was very hot!). But overall my stay has been great!
Ehren
| Philippines | Solo travelerThe hostel is not located on the main street, so it is very quiet at night. However, you don't need to worry; it's a very small group. It only takes about 5-6 minutes to walk from the night market. There is a small supermarket nearby the hostel with drinks and food from the country. The hostel environment is very good, with a swimming pool, restaurant, and lounge area, situated by the riverside. You don't need to worry about noise at night, as the area is cleared by around 11 PM. The female dormitory room has air conditioning, a fan, and a private bathroom. The room is cleaned every day.

Raven
| Vietnam | Solo travelerIf 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.
Anastasia
| United Kingdom | Solo travelerI 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.
Michelle
| Germany | Solo travelerFriendly staff and good location. The dorm had a shower and toilet inside the room. Laundry service is cheap.
Anita
| Laos | Solo travelerI 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.
Lana
| Belgium | Solo travelerThe 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.
Benjamin
| Belgium | Solo travelerLocation 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.
Ayla
| Laos | Solo travelerPros- 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
Gemma
| United Kingdom | Solo travelerGood 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!
Sarah
| South Korea | Solo travelerA Lao family runs the hostel and they are very helpful! My dorm and bathroom was very clean and could see the staff cleaning the hostel all the time. There is a nice common area where people socialize and chill out. Totally recommend for solo travellers!!!
Yara
| Brazil | Solo travelerI 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
