Hostel ou je ne me suis pas sentie à l’aise du tout, pleins de mecs qui vous relooke près de la piscine, pour rencontrer du monde ça passe mais ambiance un peu étrange, le staff est gentil mais cet Hostel m’a foutu un peu l’angoisse, si je repasse par vientiane je n’y retournerais pas Les chambres sont confortables, la clim assez froide Les douches étaient sales, j’ai trouvé une serviette hygiénique usagée dedans, je suis contente d’y être restée qu’une nuit

the hostel is a little overpriced for what you get but does have a good location. fyi they turn off the ac during the day in the rooms. I found it was a odd mix of families, children mixed with travellers which wasn’t the social atmosphere I was looking for overall fine

Stayed for a night as close to airport and they provided help getting taxi. However, the property itself was not very clean, the bathroom had ants everywhere so you couldn’t put things down without fear of being invested quickly. The dorm door also did not lock so didn’t feel very safe. The aircon didn’t work in the room either so was a sweat pit! But it did the job for one night before a flight.

There is no closed common area, the only place you can sit is outside and mosquitoes are eating you and is very hot because of course there is no air condition. It’s impossible to sit, work or either do some activity outside your room! Bed vas comfortable btw but I had feeling that everything was dirty and there was some engine working for 2 days, it was noisy like a hell.
