At the hostel, rooms are fitted with a wardrobe. Each room includes a private bathroom with a bidet, while selected rooms have a balcony and others also offer mountain views. All units at Aurora Backpackers Hostel include air conditioning and a safety deposit box.

The beds were really comfy, we stayed in a dorm and the curtains are a perfect touch. You do have to remind them to turn the air-con on before you go to bed otherwise they won’t. The showers downstairs not in the room are really good, best shower I’ve had since travelling. They was your clothes really nicely, a nice smell of your washing!

    Honestly the best hostel I have stayed in so far. It was worth the money. We stayed in a dorm of 12, thoguth it’d be a disaster but it was so specious and bed was super comfy. All the bunks were a bit more than single beds and had enough privacy. Very clean, the cleaner did a good job every single day. We had pool, could go for a swim anytime. Bar and restaurant was available. Free water. Staff were super helpful and friendly. They were professional and sorted out any problems occurred.

    A great location, right next to the night market! I stayed with a friend in the dormitory, a clean, new and comfortable room with very clean sheets!!! The showers and bathrooms are outside the room and very clean as well! The best part was the host, Mr MK who know perfect English, has a lot of knowledge about Laos and helped us with visa extensions, booking a boat to our next destination, giving us information about our plans and train rides in Laos and from Laos to China!!!

The staff is super friendly and helpful, the breakfast served every morning is pretty good, the showers are great and the beds are comfortable. Also, great location, you have everything you need around it.

    It is a typical youth hostel with bed in shared dorms. Good atmosphere with backpackers but without noise problem, all quite respectful. Overall quite satisfied if you do not mind to share all, but probably a bit expensive.

    The best hostel on all my travels. Jp and Billie go out of their way to make your stay as good as can be. Almost criminally cheap. If you have a chance, go here. They will expand soon, so more place in La Casa! Got free breakfast daily and free dinner every second day. Very delicious, more than enough and what a bang for your buck! 11/10! Will be back 100%; cheers!

    Great location, friendly & fun owner. The beds are comfortable, Ac and fan in room. Big area to relax up and downstairs. Free drinking water, 50m to the Mekong. It's Old name is Friendly Hostel, it's 10m away from Downtown Backpackers 2, the dot is not 100%right on the booking map. But very close.
