Sailomyen Cafe and Hostel Reviews

Not that bad not that good female dorm at 3rd floor kind of tired but the bed is very good location is find

I am not sure how this hostel gets such good reviews but honestly- as a pretty avid hostel goer, this hostel was generally disappointing. it’s accurate from many reviews that the front desk has a weird energy and attitude, he / they were not rude to me per se but I was sensing a very weird vibe from them in every encounter. toilet situation was the worst, i had to motivate myself to enter the shower room every day just for hygienic purposes lol- the bathroom was small, mouldy and simply unclean. the 6-bedder room was also really small with no possible room to move around. breakfast was also just as good as the price for the room. location was also not that great since it’s about 20mins walk to the main areas, so I’d suggest getting on that’s closer to the main city, even if you had to pay a slightly higher price. I have to say the bed was nice and comfortable though, aside from that I didn’t really enjoy my stay unfortunately. and also, most of the travellers staying in the hostel were looking super dreadful and gloomy- i am not sure if it’s just the overall vibe of the place or the experience that made everyone a little unkind in the situation.

Good vibe Good place i love it 🥰

Walking from the morning market bus station to the accommodation is not very far. Walk continuously. Stayed here for 2 nights. Slept on the upper bunk, a bit high and difficult to climb up, like climbing up a tree. If possible, recommend asking for the lower bunk. The receptionist speaks English, but some can speak Thai. They are attentive in welcoming guests. Downstairs is a cafe. You can order food and drinks, but the price of drinks is a bit high. The atmosphere in the cafe is nice. Breakfast is provided. Only 1 meal is served. Another morning, leave early to catch the first bus at the morning market bus station to go to the Laos-China Railway Station and continue traveling to Xishuangbanna.

It costs 1.7 million Laotian kroner to get from the hostel to Wattay Airport, and the store earns a high commission from it.
