Vongprachan Backpackers Hostel

Stayed here as a back packer. The accommodation was really quite basic, but we got what we paid for. The dorms were quite small and the lockers in the room were not very safe. The bed was comfy however not too sure how clean the blankets were! The dorms had air con which was great. The bathrooms were not great at all, a bit smelly and covered in mould. Had breakfast at the hostel twice, good food but took a while to be made.

Stayed here for two nights. It’s about a 5-10 minute walk to all the night markets which isn’t an issue. You can book tours through the hostel and any transport The bedrooms were very average. My bed was missing one of the support beams underneath the mattress and so it has started sinking into the big gap. I was top bunk. The mattress itself was also rock solid. The bathroom was quite gross. The floor was slimy and it smelt so bad. The toilet seat wasn’t even attached to the toilet. The shower pressure was really good but the big overhead shower didn’t work. It’s not worth what you’re paying a night here. I’ve payed half the price at other hostels and had much better facilities. Breakfast was good quite a few options The staff are quite nice although they can be very vague when querying about travel. Watched a girl try to book a train with her friend and the person at the desk wasn’t helpful at all. They just kept going “ok” and when she asked if he knew about availability for the next day, he shrugged and she had to ask if he could check.

The rooms were okay in size. The beds were comfortable enough. The location was not the best, a bit outside of the city center, but everything is in walking distance, so it works out. The staff is nice, but they are not the best at organizing. We were suddenly 9 people in an 8 bed dorm, so had to move. The breakfast had many options, but it was not great.
