Good value

Reviewed By BigRedRoo

The staff are polite and friendly and the hotel in general is quite clean. WiFi is a bit hit and miss but enough to get by. Stairs to get to the private rooms on the third floor are certainly not a deal breaker, but may not be ideal for people who have difficulty with them. The rooms, for the price, are fantastic. They are new, quite, spacious and quite modern but the room was a little dusty but I put that down to low occupancy over covid. The beds and pillows are incredibly comfortable and the bathrooms, while not separating the toilet and shower, are ok with good water pressure and hot water. The only negative, travelling with a young child, is the downstairs pool/bar/restaurant area that is not really well ventilated and cigarette smoke lingers pretty bad. Wouldn't have minded it so much when travelling without kids but something to be aware of with kids. All in all, very satisfied with our stay so far and hard to see me looking elsewhere in the future when returning to Vang Vieng.

Nice Stay with Free Breakfast and Tour Information

Reviewed By MichaelColley92

Had a comfortable stay for 3 nights. Located on the main road and very close to the walking streets for the night market. We booked a double room with private bathroom, and also got a small balcony as we had the end room. The room was clean enough and had A/C and fan, not much else included. The blanket on the bed in a bit small but other than that can't complain. Breakfast was a nice addition as there were plenty of options. Staff were friendly and helpful, especially they helped us to book our bus to Vientiane . Had to pay at hotel, but they have the option to pay by card (3% fee added) if required. Internet was ok, though was a little slow at times.

AVOID!!

Reviewed By Vikki_G37

Horrible! We should have left when we walked in. We sent an email about a miss communication asking to extend our stay an extra day since the buses run differently in Laos than Thailand, no one ever answered our email. When we arrived, she checked us and took us to our room. In the basement with no window. We were suppose to have a/c and fans, there was no a/c (which we paid for) and the one fan did not work. The room was really hot which made it uncomfortable. The room was not clean as there was something on the floor and nails sticking out of the floor boards. The door did not seal properly either. The toilet is at the opposite end of the hall from the sink and showers. So you have to walk into this tiny little closet that’s poorly lite and smells then walk down the hall to wash your hands. The showers are gross and unclean. When we checked in we were told breakfast was until 10 am, when we came up at 9 am for breakfast, they were clearing it away. When we asked the lady looked confused and didn’t speak English well so we gave up. I would highly recommend going anywhere else but here!

City Central Hostel

They cancelled my booking and charged me for a “better” room.

Reviewed By F2213PImariag

I had booked this hostel via Hostelworld in Chiang Rai with enough time in advance as I was going to get the slowboat into Laos and not have data for 2 days. The slowboat makes a stop overnight and then ends in Luang Prabang. Once in Luang Prabang, I walked having a vague idea of where the hostel was until I found it. It was a surprise when I arrived and they told me I was not on the list. I connected to their WiFi, and showed them my confirmation email. They asked me to check the Hostelworld app and my booking was cancelled there. I told them I did not cancel therefore it was not my mistake and if I could still get my room, but they told me they had already booked it and I could only stay in another room, and pay 90.000 kip for 1 night instead of the 100.000 kip I would have paid for 2 nights with my Hostelworld booking. The management made no attempts to understand my situation, moreover they even encouraged me to book with them cause other hostels nearby were more expensive (due to it being last minute) and as I still had no SIM card I did not want to look aimlessly for another room. So I agreed to stay for 1 night and I would find somewhere else the following day. I don’t think it was worth the money, the room was filled with mosquitoes coming from the toilet, was not as comfortable and overall a bad experience for me. I decided after my visit to message Hostelworld to clear up the situation and to know who had cancelled my booking to which I received confirmation that the hostel was the one who cancelled it. I just want to warn other visitors of what to expect.

Welcome to Dream home Hostel. This is a brand new property of Western Standards Managed by Michael from Australia and Chef Johno from South Africa. This new establishment is located in the heart of Vientiane. The surrounding area hosts a large number of authentic Lao food options, markets, foreign restaurants, bars and the famous Mekong River.

Noisy and run down

Reviewed By fischpet

### where is it? Sihome Road. Actually quite well located, there is a good street with live music for the evenings just around the corner. Mayor sights can be reached by foot. ### how are the rooms? Did I mention there is love music around the corner? Don’t worry you will notice yourself as the rooms are super noisy. Very annoying! I stayed in a 4 people dormitory with shared bathroom. Rooms and facilities are really run down and would urgently need a make over. When I returned to Vientiane by the end of the month I learned that the hostel was closed since the owner mowed to vang vieng. So maybe a new owner will make it a better place now?
