“Not the best in town.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Bed in 6-Bed Dormitory Room
- • Stayed 1 night
No curtains : The night I was there, a dude was so drunk that he peed on a girl, confusing her bed for the toilets. Just put curtains around the bed. It costs nothing and add a lot of comfort and might prevent this kind of things to happen. The rooms are also very small.
Nothing.

One side street off of main road so perfectly quiet. Incredibly clean - whatever time of day I went for a shower was spotless. Clean laundry and towels - actually smelt like detergent!! Good value bus and tours.

“cheap price, but you get what you pay for”
- • Leisure trip

- • Bed in 4-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room
- • Stayed 4 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
Very basic. Tiny rooms with four bunkbeds very close to each other and no curtains for privacy. Only has mixed dorms. Bags were just piling up in the room because there was nowhere to store anything. No real community atmosphere, the hang out space is bare and kind of grim. People were smoking in the communal spaces.
Breakfast was okay, location is great. You get what you pay for and this place is as cheap as it gets.

The rooms are very small. The fan is very noisy and during the night is hard to sleep because of that. The lobby smells. The bathrooms should be improved.
The breakfastbis good, have many options and it is prepared in the moment. Its very close to the night market, just 3 min walk. It is possible to book tickets to waterfalls or to other cities in the reception

The only other thing I wanted from this hostel was free water refills. But they sell bottled water cheap so... 👌🏻
Fantastic hostel. Owner is just lovely! The breakfast is free and awesome! You get lots of choice like banana pancakes or scrambled eggs and toast or noodle soup and the portions are good too. They have free tea and coffee all day as well. Everything is clean. Location is just off the main market, great to access everything. They organise transport to other places for a cheap price, we booked a bus to Vang Vieng at 5.30am so the owner made us a little breakfast to takeaway with us in the morning too.

We read on your dite what the facility has to offer and choose accordingly. When they advertuse AC tjrn you expect to have it. At 8 am every morning they open our bedroom doors, turn AC off with remote and then slsm the doors wsking^ us up. Every morning. When we asked to leave AC on until we left for the day--1hour they said no. When we asked for them to turn it on higher the first night, they did one numbet--from 25 to 24. We had to keep asking them to turn it down as room was still hot. We were sweating in the room.
The nightly market is very close and shops as well. Several choices for breakfast.
