DREAM HOME HOSTEL AND SWIMMING POOL
Despite there being several wifi points, the strength and signal is not great.
To enter the initial part of the hostel is very easy. However, to enter the rooms you do need a swipe card. The lockers here are odd... They are basically sheets of metal with a make shift lock device-not the safest, to say the least!
The swimming pool is around the corner from the hostel. Although nice, you can tell that the outer parts i.e the bar were still in construction. It was nice at the time but no doubt by now it will really add to the atmosphere in the hostel. I think without a swimming pool, Vientiane would be unbearable because it is just so so hot!
Showers and Toilets
All facilities are downstairs which is okay but annoying if you need the toilet in the middle of the night! The actual showers themselves are good with decent pressure plus because there are so many you are never left waiting to shower.
Staff
The staff here are very friendly and are helpful. Their English abilities differ but all in all it is never difficult to communicate when booking transport or asking for directions.
Breakfast
Breakfast here was included and was really good there was a selection of what you could have including pancakes- I urge you to try these as I personally thought it was the best way to start the day! You also have the option of eating Al fresco- what more could you want ay!?
Dorms
Despite the rooms being basic they did the job. I did like that each bed had a mini light- a feature I missed when I returned back to hostel living in Australia! The air con is strong here so make sure you have some warm clothing for night time!
Value for Money
I was impressed with his much you got for your money here. It made the perfect first stop in our penultimate Asian country!
Location
Location wise it is good. Although it's not in the main part of the city not many of the good hostels in the area are. It was close to amenities and fit its purpose perfectly!
OVERALL, I would definitely recommend giving this place ago whilst staying in Vientiane.
Love Imogen xoxo
