    - my bed was extremely laid-through and thus very uncomfortable

    - Beautiful commen area with pool - breakfast included (free banana, coffee, tea, water) and can choose from bread, egg, pancake - bathrooms and shower were mostly clean - curtains - good location - would say its easy to meet people

    The bathrooms could do with some renovations as are quite old and rusty.

    The location is perfect for night markets and has easy walkable distances to other main attractions. They advise a variety of activities and can assist with bookings.

    Breakfast is very meagre (especially if you don't eat eggs!) eg two slices of toast with jam. Bathrooms are quite grubby, even by Laos standards. Not as social as you might expect.

    Let's be honest, we're all here for the pool! The room was decent too - comfortable bed, good AC, well ventilated etc. Big spacious house to hang out. Good location - just a few minutes walk to the main strip.

    Bathrooms aren't super well maintained in shared facilities.

    Great location, super comfy beds. Music turns off at a reasonable hour, and it's a relatively quiet night, apart from the early morning rooster :)

    I forgot my mouthguard. The staff found it and sent it to my next destination. The swimming pool is nice. The breakfast is basic, but it is enough to survive until the lunch time. The dorms are OK. The only downside is that you can't open the windows.

    The bunk beds are fairly narrow. The bottom bunk curtains cover the ladder to the top bunk so you have to disturb someone else's privacy to climb up. Gap on side of bed for things to fall down. Our dorm was right next to the pool tables and socializing area and the walls were so thin that it was very loud and difficult to sleep. Had to ask people to be quiet at 2am and then young children were playing pool loudly before 7am. The staff should ensure people adhere to the quiet time rules.

    Good included breakfast, swimming pool, pool tables, great location set back from the street a short walk from night market, shopping and restaurants. Laundry service and tours.

    Could use some comfy armchairs—even plastic would do—with a bit of recline for lazy, sit-back Westerners! I could do without the pumped in, mandatory pop music. It makes reading or quiet conversation difficult. (We all have our own music devices and headphones nowadays, so there’s no reason to force the same music—or any at all—on everyone!)

    The free breakfast was fine. No kitchen access but the cook worked with me to make my custom (pre-gym) breakfast and there’s free drinking water (hot & cold) plus instant coffee in the common area.

    The toilet door didn’t seem to have a lock in the room toilet and the curtain covers the ladder going up to the top bunk.

    The one downside was that the toilet in the room was also the same as for the shower so every time anyone took a shower, it got everything super wet.

    Good location, amazing pool and rooms were good as well.

    It wasn't possible to lock the bathroom door in my dorm room, so I had other travelers walk in on me changing. Also there could be more seating options in the common area. Especially in the morning and the evening all seats are usually taken and if you want to sit down and have a drink, you have to use the floor.

    Nice Hostel with friendly staff and lots of Backpackers. Perfect for solo travelers. Nice swimming pool and pool table. Breakfast is included in the stay. Clean rooms and comfortable beds. AC is on all the time in the room.
