Casa Verde - Hostel

The place is wonderfully comfortable, it has the most comfortable spots to rest, chill and hang out with the other guests. Lu and Allan are the sweetest and friendliest hosts ever, they are always willing to help with any questions or needs. They can book the most amazing tours or motorcycles if needed. The hostel is conveniently located in a beautiful part of Luang Prabang, just a 5 minute walk to a tiny boat pier where you can cross to the other side river into the old district just for 10k kip. I ended up staying here many days more than what I originally planned, it just makes you feel like home. Bonus point: breakfast is different every day 😉

Me sentí como en casa. La zona común es súper acogedora con vistas increíbles. Podría pasarme horas y horas allí! Se nota que este hostal está hecho con amor y cariño. Me trataron genial en todo momento. El desayuno cambia cada día, así que si te quedas varias noches podrás variar. Me ayudaron a reservar todas las actividades y transportes que necesité. Y lo mejor: la ducha de bambú exterior ❤️

The hostel is clean, the dorm is spacious, the upper bunk has a staircase. Breakfast is good and free drinking water is provided. There is a nice area to sit outside and inside, and the hosts are friendly. They organise a tour to a waterfall and they helped me book an overnight tour to Nong Khiaw including a return to Luang Prabang. While I was away I could store my luggage at the hostel.

beautiful building, pleasantly away from the touristic epicentre. Friendly pre-arrival communication and greeting. Great areas to sit around, both a larger communal area with a view and a comfortable sofa in the entrance hall. A scruffy garden has the potential to be beautiful.

The 12 person dormitory itself was not well designed for a good night sleep. The door did not fit its frame, so does not close properly and the hinges squeak. I asked for the hinges to be oiled (2 minute job) but it did not get done during my stay. 12 people going in and out of a room at various times during the night...squeak, squeak, squeak, bang , bang...fairly fundamental to get fixed. The privacy curtains around each bed are thin white material, impotent against any amount of light. Again 12 x people with varying amounts of courtesy turning on and off main light, overly bright individual bed lights or even headtorch...sleep depriving. Lots of unused, wasted space in the dorm but no security lockers. Nothing for personal items or hanging clothes or towels except a dirty window sill I cleaned myself. Shower didn't get above lukewarm. Showered when the sun was high otherwise very cold.
