    Wi-Fi was not the best and staff were sometimes not the most friendly.

    Great location in Pakse, the rooms were clean and modern! Staff were very helpful, letting us check in early and booked both the Plateau tour and onward travel!

    When i closed the door there was still light comming in from outside (this easily cold be fixed), you hear very moch from outside (but this is not differend in other hotels in this price category) - because the room didn't had a window (whis is quite commun in asia), it got quite warm at night - there would be an easy solution if people would be allowed to lower the AC a bit more than 25 Celcius (its fixed there). And it would probabely prevent people using both: AC and Fan

    a good location, clean, i had a romm with own bathroom wich had everything you need for a short stay, i liked the furnishing, frendly staff, i had AC and Fan

    Shame they don’t offer free drinking water refills like many places. Not much nearby in terms of eating options.

    Helpful staff (though not all good with English) - let me use their phone to call our next hotel. Room was comfortable and clean, albeit with no window.

    The room was pretty big, which was a nice plus. Very clean and comfortable. Location was also good, walking distance from the main street.

    Would be nice to have a fridge in the private rooms but seeing as there’s no outside food or drinks allowed it makes sense. We just like cold water

    Beds were comfortable and staff was nice. Bathroom was quite big compared to other accommodations in SEA.

    shower pressure is not the best, and the water is not always hot. Staff is super nice, but still struggle a bit with English, so sometimes the conversation we’re really long and hard. Entirely worth it though

    Super comfortable, great location, and very quiet

    The stairs. No shower gel or shampoo in any of the 4 showers on my floor. I asked at reception and when I can back later there were bars of soap but no shampoo. I don't think bars of soap are very hygienic in communal showers and don't understand why no liquid soap or shampoo when there are dispensers mounted on walls. I get it's a cheap hostel but don't say you provide of you don't.

    Good value for money as I was only overnighting. Right opposite Pakse hotel roftop bar which has good food and amazing views.

    The double room we had booked was big, but did not have any window or natural light coming in. For one night this was okay, but it wasn't clear from the description.

    The location is excellent - very close to the bus station and several great restaurants. The Hostel is super clean, all staff are very friendly and helpful. Staff arranged our ticket onward for a better price than the hotel around the corner. We can recommend it, but wouldn't want to stay in the room we had.

    One of the best hostels that I stayed in Laos. Super clean, organized and quiet (which is really important to me). Is close to the local market and many of restaurants. There is also a menu for breakfast with super affordable price. They also charge a fair price with you wanna to go 4K islands (the hostel next to it charge more expensive rates).

    It looked like there we’d bed bugs. My friends and I woke up with random bumps on our skin. We told the staff and they told us they will inspect it. I don’t think that happened

    6 showers, the heater machines work only in one of them, and the flow is the weak, it takes forever to clean up. The AC was good but not best, still felt hot during the night. There’s dust under the beds and on the floor.

    The staff were so nice, at least when they understood what I said in English. The place looks and feels cozy. And it is in good location in Pakse.
