Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Moved from another hostel in town which was quiet empty and not very social. Definitely one of the best hostels I've been in 4 months backpacking SEA. The owners are ex backpackers with lots of tips for Laos and also other countries. Easy to book transport. Good value food at the restaurant and bar has happy hour every day with free drinks. Swimming pool with all day sun

    It’s definitely value for money as there isn’t much between a hostel dormitory and more comfortable hotels. It’s in a great location right next to the market but if you choose a room without a balcony you can’t hear it. The bed was clean and there was enough room for my stuff. It’s easy to order a Loca or Indrive taxi even at 5am. I prebooked and it came 10mins early.

    I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hostel!! The accomodation was cheap and this was possibly the best hostel I have stayed at during my 6-month solo trip. Room was clean, bathrooms were great and the staff were all very kind ☺️ Plus you get free breakfast which is minimal but very reasonable and generous for the low price :) would definitely stay here again next time I visit Vientiane!
