    The staff at this hostel are friendly, attentive, and hardworking. The breakfast was amazing, with plenty of choices and fresh cooking. The beds and dorms were comfortable, with individual fans and cozy duvets. The hostel also offered free tea and coffee stations throughout the day, which was a nice touch. The location was great, within easy walking distance of the night market and main restaurants.

    There were several negative aspects to mention. the lack of privacy in the dorms was a problem.

    During my stay at Downtown, I was impressed with the convenient location, just a short walk from the bustling night market. The hostel's ability to arrange transport services made it incredibly convenient for exploring the area. The included breakfast was a nice touch and added value to the affordable room rate. I stayed in a 4 bed dorm and found the privacy provided by the curtains on each bed to be a thoughtful addition.

    I recently stayed at a hostel in Luang Prabang for a few days and had a fantastic experience. The staff was polite and the breakfast was made fresh upon request, with plenty of choices. The hostel had ample showers and toilets, so there was never a wait. The non-smoking area in the lobby was a great feature, and they even had a rooftop area for drying clothes. The beds were comfortable and had secure lock boxes. Plus, they offered 24-hour free coffee, tea, and hot water. a great value for money.

    Strongly recommend this hotel.

    Friendly and helpful staff went above and beyond to assist me with planning the rest of my trip. The location is quiet yet close to everything. The bathroom was clean and much nicer than expected. I loved the fan above the bed. I highly recommend this place.

    The beds were comfortable and the showers were hot. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the night market and the river. We also enjoyed the social space at the hostel, it was a great way to meet other travelers and have a chilled atmosphere.

    The internet was incredibly slow, making it difficult to do anything online. The rooms were quite tiny, especially the one with six beds.

    The beds at this hostel were incredibly comfortable, with curtains, a shelf, light, and power point for each one. I loved having my own space. The common area was also great, with a free pool and multiple relaxing areas. Plus, the breakfast was absolutely amazing! Freshly cooked and plenty of choices. I had a really comfortable and enjoyable stay.

    Although the wifi in the room didn't work, it wasn't a big issue for me.

They even provided free water bottles, towels, toiletries, and a hairdryer. the breakfast options were varied and delicious. the staff were helpful and friendly, always ready to assist with tour arrangements and transport.

    Lovely private room, working AC and fan, delicious breakfast, helpful and professional staff, convenient services like motorbike rental and slow boat journey organization, great location near night market and Royal Palace.

    The staff were friendly and helpful, especially the night shift guy who was always smiling. the cooked breakfast was tasty and a great start to the day. the location was also a plus, as it wasn't on the main road and provided a quieter atmosphere.

    The internet was painfully slow, making it difficult to stay connected. the rooms were tiny and cramped, especially the six-bed dorm which felt more suited for four people.

    Had an excellent 3-night stay over Christmas! The staff was amazing, always helpful and attentive. They even gave us a discount when helping us book our bus to the next destination. The cooking and cleaning staff were polite, and the breakfast options were plentiful. The hostel had plenty of showers and toilets, so there was never a need to wait. The non-smoking lobby was a big plus, and they had a rooftop area for hang-drying clothes. The beds were comfortable, with secure lock boxes. And the 24-hour free coffee/tea/hot water was so convenient.

    There were a few minor downsides. The wifi signal in the dorm room was weak at times.
