Pros: kind staff (new owners), free water refills, hot showers Cons: dingy, dirty, dark, smelly, gross bathrooms (disgusting mirrors and counters, and no soap), tiny lockers, rock hard beds, no lamp for my bed, thin pillows Spend the extra money to stay somewhere else

all i can say is check google reviews. the pics on here are recent so don’t expect it to look the same on arrival. if you can afford a private room they’re not too bad but wouldn’t dorm here. we thought the staff were nice enough until they made us leave a fake review just to look after our bags after check out for a few hours so don’t trust some reviews on here. they also have incense on constantly which we didn’t find super pleasant. location is alright, close to anything you nee...

There are 3 showers, one broken shower head, one closed, and the last one the light bulb was dead, I exchanged the bulbs with the broken shower to be able to shower in the light (the shower head was damaged and wet my clean clothes) impossible to enter the hostel between midnight and 6 am (closed door) no one opened at 6 am it was a traveler who opened for me at 8 am, dirty toilets, my room was ok, I was still woken up at 1 pm to be told that I was going to have extra charges as I had exceeded t

Would not recommend staying there. Besides the location this place is crap. Pretty shabby. The floors were clean but besides that everything is a bit dirty. Gravity on walls, beds are really hard, the staff is nice but didn’t tell me important things. They have lockers but not in the rooms, which I didn’t know, so I assumed there were no lockers, the place closes at midnight and you can’t get out or in, at least that’s what I thought because they only told me they have cctv on my second ...

When checking in the receptionist wished us luck for our stay and said “you’ll be fine it’s only 1 night”. Walls covered in grime and mould, beds were metal boxes with thin mattresses, curtain only covered the length of the bed so you faced onto someone else’s bed, we refused to stay because it was so unclean, no offer for a refund and got asked why we weren’t staying even though the room was a health hazard.

this was the worst hostel experience I have had. the only redeeming feature was the staff member who was on when I left, she was exceptionally friendly and helpful. but overall this was not great. I arrived around 5 but still had to wait half an hour for my room. the bed was the most uncomfortable bed I've ever slept on (thought about just sleeping on the floor). the bathrooms were serviceable but a bit like a prison. if I didn't put laundry in I think I would have left.

Fuyez!!! Je ne comprends pas comment cette auberge peut être aussi bien notée. Ne louez rien chez eux, les prix sont abusifs.L'établissement n'est pas tenu par des Laotiens ( je préfère le préciser)150 000 kips pour une location d' un vieux vélo sans freins, sans feux et aucun remboursement.Vous trouvez des vélos partout au Laos à 50 000 kips et en meilleur état. Pour le même prix, vous avez des hôtels beaucoup plus confortables et propres à Vientiane.

Translated to English

Run away!!! i don't understand how this hostel can be so well rated. don't rent anything from them, the prices are abusive. the establishment is not run by laotians (i prefer to be specific) 150,000 kips for renting an old bike without brakes, without lights and no refund. you can find bikes all over laos at 50,000 kips and in better condition. for the same price, you have much cleaner and more comfortable hotels in vientiane.

Cuidado, este no es un hostal para viajeros, sino para migrantes que trabajan en Laos. Me sentí acosada y al llegar el recepcionista olía mucho a alcohol. No tienen desayuno aunque indica que sí y el lugar en general necesita mantenimiento.
