“First time in Luang Prabang”
The bed was comfortable since I stayed on the lower bunk, though the upper bunk might not be as comfortable for everyone. They offer a good free breakfast with a variety of options. Tours and transportation are available, so I didn’t have to worry about getting to places like the train station. I also worked remotely during my stay and really loved the table area where I could work comfortably. The receptionist speaks English, and the location is close to the night market, shops, and the river with a nice view. Highly recommended.

“Pleasant stay”
Nice place. Location very good. Like less than 5 min walk from night market. Shops lit within 1 minute. Free breakfast. I paid $36 for 2 nights for 2 bed in a 4 bedroom dorm. It has ac and private toilet. Also this hostel can sort you out with transportation. Pool table seems good but the hostel needs to buy new pool cues big time…

“Comfortable stay to explore LPB!”
We stayed in a 4 bed dorm on the second floor, which was modern, spacious, and had great air con. The bathroom facilities were plenty, never having to queue or wait. The common area has a pool table, and beer for sale. The space could be slightly bigger but overall it's fine! The breakfast is good, which is an added bonus for a hostel. The staff were friendly and helpful when needed. I also rented a scooter through the hostel which was seamless.

“Minor inconveniences, but good stay”
- hotel like concept, uses card. Easy to keep in wallet rather than a key - simple and good breakfast - location good, close by to everything - helpful front desk, helped me to sort out train ticketing issue
