Hostels in Vientiane Province, Laos

Perfect. Clean. The pool is nice, the water is clean. The shower is excellent. The air conditioning works great. There's a large common area. Lots of young people. There's space for bikes. They sell cheap fruit nearby. There were no towels, but I brought my own. There's a place outside on the second floor where you can dry your clothes; there are plenty of clotheslines. However, at midnight, they turn off the lights in the common area. The administrator goes to sleep in the basement. I asked for a knife to cut fruit, but they didn't give me one. I had to buy one at 7/11, it's nearby, and then they took it away at the train station. The breakfast is excellent. You can see the hot air balloons from the second floor, but they're very far away.

It was easy to find the hostel from the city center. I booked their private car to go to Nam Xay Viewpoint and Blue Lagoon 1 for 400,000 Kip and was offered 70,000 Kip for a car trip to the railway station. I liked that they served breakfast (see photo) - you can also order one dish and enjoyed the scenic view while I ate. The bed wasn't good - I slept on the top bunk and when I got down from the ladder, sometimes the mattress would sink when I tried to support myself on it. Could also do with providing soap and shampoo (and charge a slightly higher price if need be). It's really affordable though so can't really complain :)

It was very good. Because I had an early flight, they took me to Vientiane Airport at 4:30 in the morning (100 dollars). Also, I ate breakfast in the lobby, but it was easy to make friends because I ate with other backpackers. I climbed the mountain to the view point and got my shoes muddy, but I was able to wash them off at the tap outside the hotel (I recommend bringing your own brushes). Even on rainy days, many people enjoy playing billiards in the hostel. You can also refill your water from the water server. And the dog that lives in the hostel is very cute. If I come to Vang Vieng again, I will stay at this hostel.

The hotel proprietress is very friendly, the hotel is clean and tidy, there is a swimming pool in the hotel lobby to go down to bubble water, the seat is also very convenient, you can go to the night market within 5 minutes of walking out of the hotel, the hotel or the street are sold on the itinerary can be free to choose

Mad Monkey Vang Vieng has a fun and social atmosphere, and the staff are generally friendly and energetic. It’s a great place if you’re looking to meet new people and enjoy the party vibe. However, some areas could use improvement. The rooms and facilities can feel a bit worn, and cleanliness is inconsistent at times. Depending on when you stay, noise levels can be quite high especially from other visitors, even late at night, something to keep in mind if you’re hoping for rest. Overall, it’s a lively hostel with a strong social scene, but not the best choice if comfort and quiet are your main priorities.

Nice little guesthouse by the river.It is a short walk to move restaurants and the main area of vang vieng. It is clean, quiet and has a pool which is very basic. Better to swim in the river by the tubing bar.

I booked a one person private room and very pleased with the bed. The shower on the other had is very bad. Toilet is right next to the shower and if you want to sit on the toilet you need to adjust yourself so you can fit. It’s a a small corner. There were also some ants in the room.

This hostel is very well located. The amenities are standard for Laos but functional (water pressure is great which is not always the case). The real plus of this hostel is the readiness of the staff, they will help you arrange your stay (and even your stay in other cities) with readiness and a smile. Definitely recommend if you want to rest next to the pool after a long day of hiking and have good company.

It's OK! Everything is good... The location is also very good... Next time if I have a chance to pass by, I will still consider staying here. It was a very happy journey
