The hotel is fine, buy stay away from the bikes. We had the most frustrating 4 hour trip back from Buddha Park, and the owner was far from helpful. Thank goodness for the kind staff. You've been warned!! More

We ended up in the Youth Inn after exhausting all of the other budget options. The room stank, but the bed was free of bugs and whilst not exactly comfortable, was not uncomfortable enough to keep us awake at night. However, we did see a cockroach. We paid 60,000 kip for one night and immediately moved to Mixay Paradise next... More

The Lao Youth Inn is just aacross the Wat Mixay (Temple) in the tourist area of Vientiane, close to the waterfront. The GH is relatively big, our room (double) was relatively clean and had mosquito screens on the window, the bed was okay. The only downside is, that the walls are thin and people talking in the next room or... More

Youth Inn 1 was infested with bed bugs. We thankfully inspected the beds before paying, and left quickly. Youth Inn 2 was not. The rooms were reasonable. 'Good,' I hear you say. Well, yes, but the tale has only just begun. Firstly, the staff were rude and unhelpful, and would say one thing very clearly, but then would later create... More

The only nice thing about this hostel is the staff are friendly and even though they had just closed the cafe, when I asked to buy some water they went out of there way to get be a big bottle and insisted it was free. The internet cafe and cafe is convenient. Unfortunately I cannot rate the room at all... More

You couldn't really ask for a better location if you're on a budget! 60.000kip for a double with en suite and literally just off the riverfront.. Rooms are adequate, staff didn't speak much English though. Wifi barely worked, but otherwise not a half bad choice. More

After arriving in Vientiane from Hanoi we found most guest houses were full, we were offered a room with 2 single beds for 80000kip. The room wasn't ideal with very thin walls and a bit of mould but we thought it would do for one night at such a cheap price. We woke up to find bed bugs in the... More
