vang vieng rock backpacker hostel

We took a bus from Luang Prabang to Vang Vieng and were so happy to find that the bus drop off was actually at our Hostel. This made for a very nice start to our visit. As soon as we walked into the lobby we were greeted by Micheal and checked right in! He was so wonderful and such a great help throughout our visit. He not only checked us in but got us set up for a tubing party the next day, our bus scheduled to leave to Vientiane in two days time and got our passport applications for Vietnam set up. This allowed us to go enjoy ourselves immediately! The rooms and bathrooms are quite clean, the WiFi works great and all around we loved the accommodation. Unfortunately you had to pay for water, but breakfast was included and there was also a bar and food for purchase at the hostel! Not sure if this is all the time but in the lobby at 7pm there was free whiskey for a bout a half hour! This was cool because it brought everyone together to make new friends and all head out to the bars together that night. The location as well was perfect. A very short walk to my favorite bar In Laos that I recently posted about, Smile beach Bar, and all sounded by many good restaurants and all of the best nightlife! For the tubing party, a tuk tuk picked us up around 11:30am and everything was handled great! If you’re staying in Vang Vieng this is the place to be!
