For a cheap hostel in Luang Prabang, this was great. I loved that everything was in good walking distance such as the Phosi Hill and the night market, However, some things to consider, this hostel didn't have much in the way of security. We weren't given any key to the front door or room meaning everything was open and anyone could walk in at any time. Also keep in mind that there are no lockers in the room, on top of this the showers and toilets were not very clean, all for ยฃ5 a night you can't complain really, I had fun in luang Prabang.

Ostello in posizione centrale ma in strada trafficata costantemente. La scelta era determinata dalla descrizione di piscine insistenti. Struttura desueta traballante con un bagno ed una doccia a piano x oltre 20 persone. Scala di accesso pericolosa ripida ed instabile e condizioni di pulizia critiche.. Personale immerso nei giochi dello smart phone con scarsa disponibilitร e poca comprensione della lingua. Al mattino il caffรจ. esaurito......

First, the good:
The staff was nice and the area was very walkable
Now the bad:
Y not you ask? Iโll tell you y not! They did a very good job making the hostel look decent in pictures. It is not. Walls are cracked and dirty. The beds are harder than life itself. Rooms are cramped even if the room isnโt completely full. There are 3 toilets and 3 showers FOR THE ENTIRE building. Which Iโm sure is about 40 people. We dont get room keys because The rooms donโt lock. The stairs to the second floor are literally like going up a ladder theyโre so steep and small. Also, pools?!?! HA. What a lie! There isnโt a single one there or around.
Do not recommend. At all.

You get what you pay for. The location is great! However the staff is not helpful. I came to book direct with the hostel so avoid third party fees. The younger gentleman at the desk did not want to help me. He lied and said the hostel is fully booked. When Expedia said there were 6 beds left. So I just booked through Expedia while sitting at reception. The way it was advertised on Expedia is misleading. Said I booked 7 bunk bed dorm. Which really means 14 bed dorm. I just needed something cheap and good location for one night before leaving town. It was also very dirty. Ants and spiderwebs. You take off your shoes before entering the hostel and walking around in 5 mins your feet get black. I never saw a cleaning person.

A good location if youโre interested in staying on the side of Phou Si. Lockers are outside the dorm (odd, but no room in the dorm).

$ Price $$$ Experience
I donโt usually write reviews and was very skeptical about this hostel when I booked it since itโs so low cost (I paid USD $15 for 3 nights including taxes). I took a chance on it due to all the prior/raving reviews... so here I am writing one in case you have the same doubt! This is a relatively newly opened hostel and on my arrival, Mr Lai Lee put me in a separate room so I can have some privacy to myself. This is such a nice gesture (tho itโs low travel season in Laos), but he didnโt have to do that... the bed and linens are clean and they assured me there will be no cockroaches as Iโm terrified of them lol... I saw none and no other bugs during my entire stay here and they kept the common areas very clean at all times. In the morning, they serve you either western style omelette or Lao noodle soup for breakfast which really makes you think if they charged enough for my hotel stay! This hostel is located near the Phou Si Mountain and everything you need in LP. The local restaurant right across the road is excellent too. In mornings I usually chat with Mr Dao and he shared his experience as a novice monk and some local insights with me... itโs really an experience that I would pay triple or more to get and my stay here has been an awesome one. Hope you will too! :)

Clean, nice staff and friendly owner
I spend two nights here at Y Not Lao. Even it's raining almost both days but the staff still suggested places to go. I love the view from shower room and comfy bed. :)
