We just had an amazing stay at a backpacker's hostel in the heart of the city. the location was perfect, with everything within walking distance. There were plenty of cafes and restaurants nearby, and the breakfast buffet was fantastic. It offered a wide variety of options and lasted for three hours. the dorm beds were comfortable, and the bathrooms were spacious, with hot water and a hairdryer. the staff at reception were very nice, helpful, and friendly. They even arranged tours for us. it was a great experience, and we would definitely stay here again. Cons: Everything was fantastic! 😊.

The location of the hostel was ideal, with main tourist spots, shops, and restaurants nearby. the staff members were polite and cooperative, and the rooms had comfortable beds with 24/7 air conditioning. the washrooms were clean, with stable water heating and supply. the hostel offered a good breakfast every morning, and there was a lounge zone with a pool, musical instruments, and many games. the spacious 2nd-floor area was perfect for reading or working, and there was fast and stable Wi-Fi in every room.

The hostel did not provide free water for refilling bottles, unlike other hostels.

Great location within walking distance of popular attractions and amenities in the city center. the staff were friendly and provided helpful recommendations for activities and tours. - the hostel organized daily activities through a WhatsApp group, which was a fun way to explore the city with other guests.

The cleanliness of the hostel was subpar, with dirty blankets and a bathroom that remained uncleaned for days. The noise level in the lower floors was unbearable due to loud music and conversations in the lobby, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep.

The social atmosphere was mind-blowing, with a super pool table for meeting new people. The comfortable double beds were a pleasant surprise. The location offered an exceptional view and easy access to coffee shops, restaurants, and souvenir shops. The staff's amazing knowledge and guidance made planning our adventures effortless. The hostel offered strong Wi-Fi, hot showers, and even served delicious Laotian food. Highly recommend the fish and dark beer. The overall experience exceeded all expectations.

I got excellent value for my money at this hostel. The room was comfortable and the location was perfect, close to the cathedral and within walking distance to the lake. The staff treated me wonderfully and made me feel at home.

The breakfast selection could be improved, especially in terms of refilling the food after the first hour.

Friendly staff, helpful with travel plans, different trips offered, free breakfast with Vietnamese and Western food, daily activities available.

The beds were comfortable and the rooms were well air-conditioned, which was a relief in the hot weather. the staff were incredibly helpful, providing information about tours and attractions in the area. the breakfast on the beautiful terrace was a great way to start the day, with a stunning view.

There were a few areas that could be improved. the WiFi on all floors except the ground floor was practically unusable.

The double beds were comfortable, providing a good night's sleep.

The dorms felt cramped and congested, with limited walking space. The washroom facilities in the 8-bed bunkers were inadequate, with only one toilet available.

The location is ideal, with easy access to popular tourist spots. the staff is friendly and helpful, making check, in and check, out a breeze. the rooms are clean and comfortable, with ample storage space for bags. the complimentary breakfast is delicious, offering options for vegetarians. the hostel provides a foosball table for entertainment and a great view of the nearby cathedral.

The curtains in the bedrooms are see, through and noisy to open and close.

Amazing location, comfortable beds

well air-conditioned rooms, helpful staff, gorgeous communal balcony, affordable prices.

Nothing it was perfect.

The location was mind-blowing, right in the heart of everything! The comfortable bed and great value for money were jaw-dropping. The common room with hanging vines and view of St Joseph Cathedral where breakfast was served and you could play pool was super. The little light next to each bed was a genius idea. And the cute balcony was just the icing on the cake!

Amazing staff, very helpful and friendly

Delicious breakfast buffet included. Great location close to tourist spots. - Clean and comfortable rooms with spacious beds. - Plenty of storage space and individual wall lamps for each bed
