My Box Hostel Cafe

The staff were really nice and friendly, and everything was very clean. The rooms are well laid out, the beds are comfortable, and the air conditioning works really well. Great location too. I’ll stay again next time I’m in Vientiane.

All the staff, day and night, were courteous and helpful. The bathrooms were cosy and had all the necessities, and the spacious rooms smelled nice. I shared a room with 12 other people, but the curtains and quiet policy gave me some privacy and let me feel comfortable, which isn’t always the case in hostels. This is the first time I’ve preferred a hostel to a hotel. 10 out of 10.

The dorms have curtains for privacy and lockers, and WiFi worked well all over the hostel. Security and facilities were excellent. They can also arrange transport. The AC is switched off in the dorms for a few hours during the day, though downstairs stays comfortable. One of the best hostels in Vientiane!

It’s a small place, just two dorms with 12 beds, but there’s a lot of room around each bed. You get a towel and lock at no extra cost, and the locker was big enough for my helmet and both backpacks. With curtains on every bed, I didn’t end up meeting many of the other guests, which suited me. I also liked that there weren’t parties in the building. The bathrooms are roomy and were cleaned every morning. Soap, shampoo, and shower gel are free. My main complaint was the strong AC in the dorm. It was set to 25°C, but even after I asked about it, I still got sick somehow. The staff were really kind and helped me get started in Laos. When I rented a scooter, they even parked it behind their coffee shop while I was already in bed. Breakfast is very basic and not much to mention, but I didn’t mind with plenty of restaurants nearby. I paid 70,000 Kip for a night by messaging them on Facebook instead of using Booking or Agoda. This is a great example of how a hostel should be, nearly perfect. Quality over quantity!
