    The hostel offers clean and comfortable rooms with cozy beds, perfect for a good night's sleep. The chill area is a great place to relax, and the free breakfast is amazing. Additionally, the location is nice and convenient, situated in a cute little alley in the center and not far from the night market. it's a welcoming and friendly place to stay.

    Felt secure, nothing to complain about.

    The value for money at this hotel was excellent, and the room was clean and comfortable. The location right on the river was beautiful, and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful throughout my stay.

    The breakfast menu could have been improved with more options.

    We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The mattress and pillows were extremely comfortable, ensuring a well-deserved sleep. The staff were very kind and helpful. The outdoor lounge area provided a great space for socializing with a magnificent view of the river. The hostel is clean and the facilities are excellent. The location is convenient, within walking distance of the main sights in town. The breakfast was delicious and there was free tea and coffee available all day.

    Nothing bad to say.

    The rooms at Funny Riverside Backpackers are absolutely fantastic! They have air conditioning, which is a lifesaver in this hot weather. And let me tell you about the view from the patio - stunning! You can see the mountains right from your room. It's like a dream come true for a nature lover like me.

    I personally didn't enjoy the safety deposit box. It felt a bit unnecessary for me, but hey, I'm sure others might find it useful.

    The view from the restaurant was amazing! I loved enjoying breakfast with a scenic backdrop. The hostel had a great vibe and the privacy curtains on the beds were a nice touch. Plus, the strong internet connection was a bonus. The location was perfect, just a stone's throw away from the city center, making it convenient to explore all over. And the dedicated and attentive receptionist was a standout, providing excellent guidance and helping us get the best deals for all our activities.

    The bathroom could have been better maintained, with a lack of soap and cleanliness. , it was a bit too quiet at times, so if you're looking to socialize and meet people, this may not be the best place.

    The view from the restaurant was jaw-dropping, overlooking the river. The breakfast spread, including fresh fruits and juice, was mind-blowing. The hostel had a great vibe and the privacy curtains were super convenient. The location was peaceful with a nice breeze, yet within walking distance of everything. The communal area was perfect for chilling and drinking tea. The staff were incredibly friendly, accommodating any issues immediately.

    I loved staying at this non-party hostel. The location and view were awesome, and the atmosphere was social without being overwhelming. I could easily spend a week here just chilling out. The prices were super cheap too! The beds and pillows were comfortable, the rooms were clean and had effective light-blocking curtains. The showers had good water pressure and hot water, and there were hooks to hang towels and clothes. The staff were friendly and immediately addressed any problems. a peaceful and relaxing place with a great location.

    Can just recommend this hotel.

    I had a fantastic stay at Funny Riverside Backpackers in Luang Prabang. My partner and I stayed there for 4 nights in their 4 bunk room. The room was spacious with lockable cupboards in each bunk, as well as privacy curtains, plug sockets, and reading lights. The breakfast was delicious and we loved the free tea and coffee available all day on the beautiful terrace overlooking the Nam Khan River. The family and staff were friendly and helpful, and there were even two cute dogs on the premises. The hostel is conveniently located within walking distance of the night market and main attractions in town. They also offer organized bus trips to Kuang Si waterfalls and airport transport can be arranged. The laundry service was affordable and our clothes came back in good condition. a lovely hostel with a great social vibe and nice amenities.

    Can recommend this hotel.

    I had a lovely stay at a backpackers' hostel situated by a picturesque river. The included breakfast was fantastic and the all-day coffee was a bonus. The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed, and the staff were accommodating. The beds were comfortable, the showers had good water pressure, and the view from the deck was stunning. Despite some small drawbacks, I would still recommend this hotel.
