Cedrick was genuinely accommodating, patient, and helpful. He even helped me get set up so I could work from the property, which I greatly appreciated. His hospitality made a positive impression, and I want to make sure that recognition isn't lost among my other feedback. There are some lovely spaces here, particularly the upstairs lounge, bar area, and outdoor spaces. Unfortunately, I found the atmosphere in the main indoor common area quite frustrating, particularly as someone who works remotely and occasionally teaches online.
I had informed the staff beforehand that I would sometimes be conducting online tutoring sessions. I wasn't expecting a private office or complete silence in a shared hostel, but I did assume there would be some consideration for guests who need to work.
Ironically, the indoor common area, which I initially assumed would be the most suitable place to work, was consistently louder than the upstairs lounge, bar area, and outdoor spaces.
My biggest criticism is the music. Loud, repetitive, AI-generated, and often dated music played through the common-area speakers at virtually all hours doesn't necessarily create a welcoming ambiance. When it's loud enough that people have to raise their voices to hold conversations, it becomes another source of noise guests have to tolerate.
I'd genuinely be interested to know whether management has ever received positive feedback from guests specifically requesting loud music throughout the day in the only indoor common area with reliable Wi-Fi. I've read through the reviews and haven't seen anyone identifying this as something that particularly enhances their stay.
I'd encourage management to reconsider whether this approach actually benefits guests. Some people want music and atmosphere, but others want to read, work, study, have conversations, or simply relax without competing with a speaker system. There are other areas of the property where music and a livelier atmosphere would make much more sense, such as the kitchen and bar area upstairs and the outdoor spaces.
What made the experience particularly disappointing was the inconsistency in how noise was addressed. During my tutoring session, staff were playing music through the hostel speakers, while other guests were watching videos and playing music. Yet when I later played music from my own laptop, an employee, who I will leave unnamed out of consideration, chose to approach my device and turn off my music rather than simply speaking to me.
I found this particularly inappropriate. If there is a general expectation that guests should keep their personal music low when staff are playing music through the main speakers, that expectation should be communicated clearly and applied consistently. There was no such rule communicated to me. I would have had no problem discussing the volume if someone had simply approached me and asked. More importantly, please don't touch guests' personal belongings when a simple conversation would suffice.
As a practical suggestion, management might consider switching to instrumental or lyric-free background music, such as lo-fi hip-hop, mellow instrumental beats, or relaxed café-style music. If having music playing throughout the day is important to the atmosphere of the hostel, there are options that provide ambiance without demanding everyone's attention. It would still be noise, of course, but at least it would be considerably more tolerable for guests trying to work, study, read, or simply have a conversation. Background music should complement a shared space, not compete with the people using it.

The room was cozy and nice. Huge bed. Toilets and showers are clean, breakfast is nice. Cedric, the front-man is amazing, friendly, very helpful. Great and enjoyed my stay, will return on my next trip to Vientiane.
In room, 1st floor can have a better light, as it may be too dark with current light. Also would be good to replace shower head holders for easier shower and comfort.

Beds are comfy
I had the worst sleep… the upper bed was moving a lot and very noisy so felt like an earthquake in the lower bed. Also there was a super anoying dripping noise ALL NIGHT, probably from the AC. I guess I wasn’t lucky…
