    It was great, the staff is amazing, it's a great value for money place, breakfast is included and we love that, laundry price is not per kilo but per machine which is great. The only thing that bothered me is that they have Chinese sockets in the rooms and you need an adapter which I didn't have because in Lao, we usually don't need adapters with European plugs. They have Lao sockets in the common areas though, so it's fine. Other than that, everything was perfect.

    It was a bit far out from the main centre, bus station and other bars or even shops but for one night this wasn't a problem and Vientiane is so small that nothing is too far away. The fridge they keep the beer in needs to be colder!!!

    The breakfast was basic but as a budget hostel that was ok. There was a kettle to use and they sold beer. Rooms had enough storage space under the bed and were a good temperature. Staff helped me with a taxi using her own phone app which was nice of her.

    The breakfast is not much, and there are weird rules how much you can take, but at least there is something.

    A bit further from the central, but nice bathroom and rooms.

    The location is 16mins walk from the market. The activities and transport are a little higher than online or from other places.

    Very clean, silent, lovely staff. The room was so silent that if you breathe it will make a noise. Very clean and good facilities.

    It’s a minor thing as really enjoyed the property, but we did have to pay to use a locker - the first time this has happened in four months of travelling south east Asia, as usually lockers are included. But it was a small sum and overall good value so a minor thing to note!

    Venn Hostel was fantastic. The rooms were clean, mattresses comfy and able to be changed with the staff, roomy with lights and cubbies, and with quality linen, including a lovely duvet. The rooms were kept cool and blacked out for a restful sleep, and had good privacy curtains. The hostel offered free breakfast making it a great value stay. The location is right by the Mekong and only 5-10 min walk to the night market or food restaurants. The showers were hot and you can also pay by card as well as cash. We had unruly guests in our dorm one night, I messaged the staff and they sorted them out so promptly and efficiently. The staff were friendly and so helpful, and clearly work hard at the hotel to make it a nice environment.

    Only concrete, no green outside. Cost nothing to put some plants. 1 piece of banana limit for breakfast is petty. Also 2 toilets were out of work. Maybe fix them.

    Nice clean beds

    I had a great stay at Venn Hostel in Vientiane! The place has a modern yet laid-back vibe, making it a comfortable spot to relax after exploring the city. The dorms are clean and spacious, with privacy curtains and individual lights for each bed. Lockers are available if needed, and everything is well-maintained. The common area is a really chill space—perfect for unwinding or meeting other travelers. The staff are super friendly and always happy to help with recommendations or travel plans. Plus, the location is ideal, close to great cafes, restaurants, and key sights while still being peaceful. Overall, it’s a great place to stay in Vientiane, and I’d definitely come back!

    1. Sometimes the toilet was so dirty. 2. There are so many mosquitoes in the hostel.

    1. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. 2.The lodging fee at the hostel is very affordable. 3. We can use the wash machine so we don't need to think about laundry servise.
