Rock hard beds Smelly bathrooms Sometimes no drinkable water try to scam me with the exchange rate you need to pay extra for towels no wifi inside the room
An sich schöne Unterkunft mit Pool, jedoch hatte ich Bettwanzen!!!! Ich habe dann in einem anderen Hotel für die nächsten Tage ein anderes Privatzimmer bekommen. Am Anfang war der Besitzer auch noch nett zu uns, dann hatte ich aber nochmal eine Frage weil das Hotelzimmer was wir bekommen haben billiger war und ich fragen wollte ob ich eine Teilrückstattung bekommen könnte, er hat mich jedoch nicht ausreden lassen und ist unhöflich geworden.
I got another private room in another hotel for the next few days. at first the owner was also nice to us, but then I had a question again because the hotel room we got was cheaper and I wanted to ask if I could get a partial refund, but he wouldn't let me talk him out of it and became rude.
+ Staff were receptive when I had an issue, and my goodness did I have an issue to do with some other guests. Beds are comfy, there's the basic socket and light at each bed, privacy curtains and lockers (bring your own lock). Showers are almost hot, and of course there's a pool.
- I don't want to be unfair to the very kind staff by giving this place low marks, but I don't mesh with the guest profile of this place. It's a party hostel, and sometimes that's fun, and sometimes it results in rude and inappropriate behavior. It's not a place I enjoyed, but this might be personal preference. Stay at your own risk. Also when there are 50 people sharing 4 toilets, I recommend that bathrooms should be cleaned multiple times a day, not just once.
Word of caution if you book this hostel, they may cancel on you to raise the price of the room. A group of us booked at this hostel at different times for the same dates. Those who booked a day or two in advance received an email saying they were fully booked and to cancel the booking ourselves for no cost. Then the rooms were available again on hostel world for triple the original price. I'd recommend looking elsewhere
me and twtwo other friends needed up chanign hostels halfway through our booking, because of their policy of switching off the air con at 9am, making it too hot to sleep in or nap during the day
Tant de choses à dire. Laundry : attention, votre linge peut revenir tâchés. Dortoir : la porte ferme mal donc moustiques et gecko à gogo. Clientèle : que des gens irrespectueux, faisait un bruit monstrueux dans les dortoirs et dans les parties communes jusqu'à très tard. Transport : incapable de me dire s'il faut booker un logement ou s'il y a de la nourriture dans le slow boat. L'emplacement est bien par contre.
So many things to say. Laundry: be careful, your laundry may come back stained. Dorm.: the door is locked badly so mosquitoes and gecko are on the loose. Clients: that some people are disrespectful, made a monstrous noise in the dorms and in the common areas until very late. Transport: unable to tell me if I should book a room or if there is food in the slow boat. The location is fine by contrast.
The location is great, the AC is strong, and the bathroom is spotless. The breakfast is so-so, but included in the stay. My main issue is that my friend and I booked a female only dorm and both nights there were men booked in my room 😬
Nice and social hostel but not party. The bathrooms were mopped everyday but needed a good clean. Veds are comfy and clean, big lockers for all your stuff.
Das Hostel an sich ist ganz gut, leider wars mir persönlich zu viel Party. Viele jüngere Engländer. Frühstück war dafür dass es ein Hostel ist top!
The hostel itself is quite good, but the leader warns me personally too much Party. many younger Englishmen. breakfast was for dass es ein Hostel ist top!
People hang out by the pool or playing pool all night long drinking and smoking.In the morning the cleaning lady picks up the empty beer bottles and fills a trash bag. People smoke by the pool, you have to walk through to get to the entrance. The floors are always dirty and you’re expected to take off your shoes. No children allowed, but the owners daughter, looks to be 4, is in that party atmosphere. BUT breakfast is good and nice bunks needs a bigger shelf for storage, bed a bit too firm.

Super mooi en modern hostel! Hele aardige host. De kamers zijn heel schoon en de buitenruimte met zwembad is heel mooi en sociaal!
Hôtel flambant neuf les sanitaires et les douches sont en parfait état et extrêmement propres. L’auberge dispose également d’une piscine avec des transats. Elle se situe dans une ruelle calme éloignée des bruits des moteurs. L’accueil y est sympathique. Je recommande vivement.
共有スペースにプール、ビリヤード、卓球があり、楽しいホステルでした。
朝ごはん付き陽キャ向けホテル。冷蔵庫も使わせてもらえてドライヤーも強い。

真的是一個非常棒的hostel，很乾淨很漂亮，不會吵鬧～
Quarto muito espaço e limpo, café da manhã delicioso demais.
새로 생긴지 얼마 안되었다는 리뷰를 보고 3박 예약, 머무름. 있는 동안 동양인을 한명도 보지 못하였고 거의 20대 서양인들뿐, 친구 사귀기에 굉장히 좋다 침대는 좀 딱딱한편이고 수영장은 청소라기보다 뜰채로 건져내는 수준 룸안에 화장실과 샤워실이 하나씩 있고 층마다 공용 화장실과 샤워실이 있는데 따로 문이 달려있지 않아 밤이 되면 각종 벌레들의 모임장소가 된다. �...
Super Hostel, extrem sauber und sehr nettes, hilfsbereites Personal. War schon ss zweite Mal dort als Zwischenstopp von Nong Khiaw Richtung Vang Vieng. Zugticket konnte ich über die Ferne buchen. Perfekt für den Einstieg in Laos nach der Fluglandung in Luang Prabang, um Reisende kennenzulernen oder auf dem Rückweg einen Tag auszuspannen mit Pool. Kann ich zu 100% weiterempfehlen.
Chuyến đi Luang Prabang của tôi đã suýt trở thành một trải nghiệm “kinh dị” nếu không có sự hỗ trợ của Đức – ông chủ hostel White Elephant và Sabai Sabai. Sau những ngày họp hành mệt nhoài ở Bangkok rồi tiếp tục tới Vientiane, tôi tự thưởng cho mình một chuyến đi về cố đô Luang Prabang – nơi tôi từng yêu thích và đã ghé thăm vài lần trước đó. Sáng ngày 12/12, khi đang vô cùng hào hứng c...
Ein gerade neu eröffnetes Hostel im Stadtkern von Luang Prabang. Das Hostel ist super sauber, die Betten sind bequem und es gibt sogar einen kleinen Balkon an jedem Zimmer. Die Badezimmer sind geräumig und sauber. Es gibt heißes Wasser zum duschen! Was ich neben dem Ambiente noch hervorheben möchte ist der unglaubliche Service und die schnelle Reaktion seitens des Hostels: Ich habe meinen Rucksack im Hostel gelassen für mehrere Tage. Da die Busse Verspätung hatten hätte ich es nicht mehr ...
Les dortoirs sont très propres et bien équipés, le personnel est très sympa avec la possibilité de discuter avec eux durant les verres qu’ils organisent tout les soirs. Très bon emplacement proche du marché de nuit et des petites paillotes au bord du Mékong. C’était vraiment une super expérience et un très bon rapport qualité/prix. Petit bémol pour le petit déjeuné qui mériterai d’être un peu plus garni.
Je recommande à 100 %, ils ont été arrangeant, gentils, bref parfait
Stayed here for 2 nights and overall had a lovely experience. The hostel was clean, comfortable, and located near the Night Market, about a 10-minute walk away. The vibe of the hostel was great as well, and it also comes with a decent breakfast.
位置不错 步行到古城入口五分钟的样子 吃饭和交通都很方便 院子很大 房间也不拥挤 价格是真的很贵 老挝最贵的青旅 价格放在东南亚青旅里也是最贵的梯队了 卫生应该更好一点 马桶一天只打扫一次真的不够干净 淋浴的有几个花洒漏水很严重 应该换了
Uno de los mejores hostel en los que me he quedado. Las habitaciones son limpias y espaciosas, las zonas comunes muy bien cuidadas, buen desayuno y los dueños muy amables. Situado al lado de los puntos de interés de la ciudad.
Hostel très propre, on dirait presque un hôtel. Chambre air clim fonctionnelle, prise électrique, lumière et petite tablette pour chaque lit. Lit très confortable. Espace de rangement sous le lit pour sacs/valises et rideaux pour intimité. Situé à 5 min du night market. Piscine très propre. Ambiance super le fun, table de pool et de beer pong. Un chien adorable sur place! Événement (il y a eu une soirée de bières quand nous étions là). Possibilité de faire laver votre linge, sin...
Excellent hostel. Les infrastructures sont neuves donc tout est en très bon état. Les chambres et les sanitaires sont propres. L’emplacement est au calme mais bien positionné. Je recommande sans hésiter !
Es un excelente hostel. Es grande y por eso te permite sentir tranquilidad y si quieres compartir tambien hay oportunidad en espacios comunes. Puedes lavar tu ropa tambien, son agradables y los precios muy accesibles. Queda cerca de todo!
