Situated in Luang Prabang and with Mount Phousy reachable within 1.7 km, La Casa Nostra features a garden, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a shared lounge.

DELIGHTFUL stay, this family run hostel has mastered the art of making you feel you're all just sharing a home. They are kind and go beyond what I think one can reasonably expect in a hostel. They're always around and looking after everyone, feeding everyone (delicious food too), helping with rentals, onward transfers, even posting things and advice!! Absolutely the sweetest kindest family stay you could ask for. The beds are cozy and spacious, the curtains offer privacy. I stayed in the dorms but a couple I hung out with stayed in a private room and it looked fantastic. I know Luang Prabang has many good hostels, but I genuinely think this was the best choice you can make and it attracts a genuine and wonderful social (but not rowdy) crowd. Salamat po for everything guys!

Located in Luang Prabang, 1.5 km from Mount Phousy, La Casa De Jardin provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a shared lounge.

The staff is awesome, very welcoming. They helped me to organise a short trip to waterfalls, and also with train ticket to Vang Vieng (they recommend me to buy it online in the official app to avoid agency commissions, and also arranged the transfer to train station at a very good price). They invite guests to dinner Mo, Wed & Fr, which not only is a great detail but also a fantastic opportunity to meet other travelers. They also serve a very tasty breakfast!! It’s a great place, totally recommended!!

Boasting a garden, shared lounge and views of city, Meet sunset hostel Luangprabang is situated in Luang Prabang, less than 1 km from Night Market.

I don’t know why the rating is low because I loved everything in this place. The location is not central but you have a chance to see another neighbourhood. The bathroom was always clean, ac worked all the time, the terrace and breakfast were perfect as well. Staff is friendly and you can book waterfall trip via them. The only thing I didn’t like was a socket. It was difficult to charge my phone.

    Great location. It's not far from Wat Xiengthong in one direction and the night market in the other direction. I recommend renting a bike from the hostel for a very reasonable price. They also offers shared taxis to the bus and train stations, and long haul transport bookings to Nong Khiaw, Vientiane, Vang Vieng, Hanoi and many other destinations. Just tell the counter one day in advance.

    This is hands downs the best hostel I have stayed at during my one-year-trip around Southeast Asia. The staff is super friendly and helpful, the breakfast served every morning is pretty good, the showers are great and the beds are comfortable. Also, great location, you have everything you need around it.

    It is a typical youth hostel with bed in shared dorms. Good atmosphere with backpackers but without noise problem, all quite respectful. Overall quite satisfied if you do not mind to share all, but probably a bit expensive.

    The best hostel on all my travels. Jp and Billie go out of their way to make your stay as good as can be. Almost criminally cheap. If you have a chance, go here. They will expand soon, so more place in La Casa! Got free breakfast daily and free dinner every second day. Very delicious, more than enough and what a bang for your buck! 11/10! Will be back 100%; cheers!

    Great location, friendly & fun owner. The beds are comfortable, Ac and fan in room. Big area to relax up and downstairs. Free drinking water, 50m to the Mekong. It's Old name is Friendly Hostel, it's 10m away from Downtown Backpackers 2, the dot is not 100%right on the booking map. But very close.
