    The AC was quite strong, almost feeling cold. I wish rather using more fan than AC for the environment.

    What I love the most was listening to the rain drops at its little terrace :) The staff is extremely kind and helpful, the bed and bathroom is clean. They provide padlock and towel on deposit. Breakfast was great too. Also, free water provided.

    Electrical outlet wasn't stable and it was a little difficult to use it - but it is easy thing to fix.

    Very nice clean hostel. Good location, walking distance to river. Comfortable bed. Curtain in your box, locker close to the bed. Safe place. Helpful stuff. It was my second time here :)

    A bit of too close to the main street with some traffic but not too bothering considering it's Vientiane.

    Super clean and we'll maintained hostel. Super friendly staff and owner . Was lucky to share the dorm with really respectful guests which made my stay quiet and enjoyable. Right next to the center

    Very calm and nice atmosphere, extremely clean dorm and bathrooms and lovely staff. Comfy beds and cool pottery in the hostel. Would definitely recommend, also really good bread at breakfast

    I cannot describe how comforting this hostel was after a day of weary traveling coming from northern Laos. Everything was sparkling, immaculately clean and comfortable. This was easily the best hostel amenity/value wise I’ve stayed at out of dozens. It would be an incredible place to recoup and settle into Vientiane, but it was an amazing stop over night for me as well including breakfast. Thank you to such a courteous staff - they were so communicative and kind and receptive.

    This is one of the best hostels I have stayed in SE Asia. The facilities are amazing, super clean room and bathroom. The water pressure is perfect and you can adjust the heat. Good location to restaurants and shops although the city is a little quiet and not much to do there. Free water refills and welcome water when arriving. The AC worked amazing it was really needed in these heat. The staff helped book taxis and were very friendly and polite. Definitely recommend staying here.

    It didn't bother me at all because I tend to leave my stuff on the floor but you'll want to use your phone light to get to the dorm door at night if going to the toilet otherwise you may find yourself bumping/kicking into luggage as the walkway is narrow and it's hard to see the clear path in the dark. The lockers are decent sized but won't quite fit your luggage. (lockers came with key though!)

    I liked that there were extra rules like being quiet in the dorms even during the day, no shoes in the dorms and not leaving anything in the bathroom. This meant that I left feeling well rested and the toilet/showers were immaculate. Beds were really comfortable and the curtains seemed freshly cleaned. I felt like I could walk around in the dorm without feeling like I have dirty feet. Breakfast was nice and the staff were lovely. Not the most social of places if that's what you're looking for but if you want somewhere clean, modern, good location and helpful staff then this is a great choice. Lockers next to beds. Free water refill available.

    A thoughtful oasis in Vientiane

    Vientiane turns out to be quieter than I imagined possible with little of the typical attractions but can be appreciated with patience.

    This hostel is the best I've ever stayed in and was a highlight for me in Vientiane. The dorm beds are roomy & comfortable with sufficient privacy, lighting and capacity for charging. Breakfast is guesthouse quality and there is fresh cold tea/water and clean room temperature water available at all times. Check-in ends at 9pm out of respect for guests sleeping in the dorm room and separate, very clean spacious bathrooms are available for men and women. Overall, this is a very thoughtful place that attracts mature travellers. It was fun to chat in the café space downstairs.

    The bad and the cabin was super comfortable and “privat” given the fact of the room being a shared one. Vert good coffee and nice fruits as well as baguette and eggs are included 😍. Super nice and helpful young women always around 😊

    Men's bathroom was a little tight around the sinks. Not much room in the "common area". But never really had an issue with finding a seat.

    The beds were comfortable and clean. Staff was friendly and very accommodating. The location was perfect for me. Less than 10 min walk to the main part of town.

    The area is located near the restaurants, mini market and night market. But it's kinda take a time to go to bus station.

    The staffs such a wonderful people. The room, bathroom always clean and comfortable. They are always consider about my trip. I love it. Always they serve very nice ☕ coffee
