Reviews of Aloha LuangPrabang Hostel Capsule

Everything was very clean and despite the comments I have read, it was not hot at all in the capsule and I slept very well. They were also very kind in helping me with the transfer to the train station

Being a very small hostel, it is difficult to socialise or have a connection with the people who are there

The beds are very private and comfortable. There is a lot of storage space under the bed which locks. The cubicle also has an cold air vent, outlets, a light and it feels very spacious. There is coffee, kettle, water, and bananas in the lobby and some drinks that you can buy if you would like. I arrived 4 am and waited in the lobby and was able to check in at around 6am which was just great. Location is perfect, it is close to everything.

There is a couch and some seats in the recception but besides that there is no common area or much space.

What I really appreciated about this hostel was the fully enclosed sleeping pods. It’s not just a bed with a curtain - you actually have your own “capsule” to live in, which adds a lot of privacy and comfort. The hostel doesn’t offer breakfast, but there’s always coffee and cookies available. Great location, friendly staff.

The only downside is the odd locker design - the space between your locker and your neighbor’s is separated by a very thin partition, making it easy to reach through.

The owner was very helpful in arranging rides and transfers. There is free water, bananas and snacks. The location could not be better! The hostel is in the centre of everything. Luang Prabang is very expensive and this is the cheapest “room” I could find in the city. The air conditioning in the rooms is good but it is shut off during the day.

The pictures are accurate – the rooms are the size of a twin bed mattress and few have a window so if you are claustrophobic this place might not work. The mattress was as hard as sleeping on the floor – I doubled up my comforter and slept on it trying to soften my sleep.

Clean, sturdy stairs to the pods and big capsuls

Only 2 bathrooms and one was without light so was unusable

- Superfriendly staff. - It's a brandnew (renovated) hostel. Everything is spick and span: both the bedroom and bathroom are superclean. - The room is small (it's just a bed in a separate wooden cubicle), but it suffices for a good night's sleep. There's airco in the room. There is a lot of storage room for your luggage. Both the room and locker have locks, so your belongings are safe. - Located in a very quiet street. - There is free water, coffee and bananas in the communal area. - Thank you for the great stay 🙏

very clean cute and quiet hostel! I recommend 🙏

Comfy beds, great location

Great location, super friendly and helpful personnel, super clean. Really enjoyed my stay!

Great

Maybe explain in the original booking how smal the room is. Have ore secure lockers

You had free access to make coffee (instant..,?) which is an important aspect to turn me into a human in the morning. It is very centrally located. Staff were very friendly and responsive to needs.

It’s basically a “bed in a box”, more as you might expect in Tokyo or Hong Kong, but if all you are going to do there is read a book, charge your phone, and sleep,(me), it’s fine. A benefit for me personally, was to meet another crusty veteran traveller, instead of the people competing for the greatest number of visa stamps in their passports, snd their (AMAZING…. not) travel stories ;)
