Outstanding hostel in Vientiane. Small pool, billiards, great for atmosphere. Big toilet block with well tended toilet and shower stalls (sinks could use more than one bar of soap). Some weights and nice bench, couple machines yield bonus makeshift fitness space. I didn't like the massive heavy curtains that crowded the small dorm, but privacy hogs probably like it. Plug and light for each bed. Nice big wooden lockers not in use because of missing built-in keys; a trip to the nearby hardware store for clasps and an afternoon with a drill, and these could all be usable. No serious security issue anyway. Best thing here was the people. I moved my bag at night for early morning departure from nearby friend's place, and attentive manager notices immediately and worried I was unhappy about anything.

Pourquoi référencer un tel hôtel ??

À mon arrivée le 18/01/25, du Wifi de l'hôtel je n'ai pas pu me connecter à l'appli hôtel.com. Ils ont affirmé que ma réservation n'était pas payée pour les 18/19 janvier. J'ai dû repayer. Pour ma réservation du 29/30 janvier ils ont tenté de me refaire le même coup cependant j'ai pu me connecter entre temps et éviter cette "arnaque". Comme vous vous en doutez aucun remboursement de leur part n'a été effectué : impossible de voir la responsable de l'hôtel qui ne répondait que par whatsapp et nous a donné plusieurs rendez-vous qu'elle n'a pas honoré ! Et en regardant les avis sur Google je vois que nous ne sommes pas les seuls.... En dehors de cette mésaventure, la salle de bain sent les canalisations et ce fut le cas dans les deux chambres que nous avons occupés, il n'y a quasiment pas d'eau chaude, les fils électriques de la salle de bain sont dénudés juste au dessus du lavabo !! A notre arrivée les fenêtres de la chambre étaient grandes ouvertes à 20h30 il y avait plus d'une trentaine de moustiques : sympa l'accueil et au revoir la sécurité surtout dans un pays où nous savons que le paludisme et la dingue font des ravages ! Le drap était déchiré, le bord de l'autre lit très salle. Karaoke jusqu'à 3h du matin en pleine semaine en bas de l'hôtel... Je vous laisse regarder les photos pour vous faire votre propre avis !
