    All was ok

    It was great. Common room with coffee shop to rest and hang out. Close to bus station. Check in by midnight was great! As I arrived late. They give you locker key as well and towel.

    Windows out to the common area so you have to have blinds closed to get privacy.

    Clean, nice big bed, comfortable. Breakfast was nice and provided a place to meet other travellers.

    Quite far to walk from the main attractions (is nearer the bus stop though). Said would do breakfast to take away as leaving early but wasn’t actually done.

    Really nice hostel with cafe out front & inner courtyard. Private room was clean and comfortable.

    Rooms weren’t very private as the window looked out onto the hallways. Location was further out than we thought and it was quite a long walk to the markets and from where the bus dropped us off.

    Nice place to stay if you are visiting Vientiane, the rooms were basic and the cafe downstairs was very nice.

    The bathrooms weren’t that clean.

    The room wasn’t really big, so it was a bit messy with the backpacks because many couldn’t fit in the lockers. However, the bed was really comfortable. The cafe downstairs is really nice and the food isn’t that pricey. The people working there were very nice.

    Clean hostel with a nice backyard garden

    The 6-bed dorm I was staying in was very small and the lockers cannot fit normal backpacks (50-70L), so all the bags end up staying on the floor occupying most of it. Also on my floor there were 2 showers and 2 toilets for ~18 people and it resulted in a queue in the morning. There is not much socialization as the shared areas (cafe) are also for people visiting the cafe.

    Beds are really comfy, delicious breakfast, nice backyard garden and cafe. The staff was helpful and kept one of our bags for storage while we traveled in Laos.

    It lacks a backpacking vibe. For a solo traveller it's hard to connect. The staff is super polite, but that's it. No info or recommendations given, no activities organised or if they do they are not advised.

    Facilities are new and clean and location is central. The bar /cafe is very nice. Breakfast included was delicious and the staff is polite.

    They could clean the restroom a bit more often. Probably the Backpackers were just filthy. For the rest this place is really nice! :)

    The beds were just awesome and the food is really good!

    Probably the best sleep we had since we started our trip to South East Asia. Beds and pillows are comfortable!! The AC works well and it's quiet, the room was big enough and clean, same as the bathroom. Food at the hostel is good, good options for breakfast too. The staff are always smiling and helpful. A little walk from the main road, but pleasing.

    The en suite only had a curtain separating it from the room and as I had booked a twin room with a friend it could be uncomfortable for people.

    Lovely hostel with great cafe and excellent breakfast included. The room was comfortable and quiet and the staff were all very kind and helpful. Easy to walk into the town and not far from the airport.

    Hotel was in a good location for walking and seeing the sights. Breakfast was good- they even packaged us one up before they started properly serving to take with us on the train. The English of the staff was spot on. They printed off our visas for our next destination which was really helpful. Very modern and perfectly clean. The coffee shop downstairs was really nice too!
