Featuring a garden, a shared lounge as well as a bar, Barn1920s Hostel is situated in the heart of Vientiane, a 5-minute drive from Mekong River and a 3-minute walk from a night market.

A buffet breakfast is served daily at the property. Guests will find the Drip 1920s cafe and the bar at the hostel. Several grocery stores and street food stalls are located nearby.

Just stayed one night but would DEFINITELY come back if I'm in Vientiane again. Such a cool concept (Twenties) and so many little details that make a backpackers life easier: lockers inside the beds, hangers and other options for your clothes inside the beds, beds in general were very comfortable, the showers had mirrors and were spacious, everything VERY clean. Breakfast was DIY with plenty of options (eggs, salads, toast, muesli, porridge, I saw someone making pancakes etc) the hostel is located in a quiet area yet close to the center. And in the evening there are local food stalls next to the hostel, if you want the full food experience :)

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    It’s definitely value for money as there isn’t much between a hostel dormitory and more comfortable hotels. It’s in a great location right next to the market but if you choose a room without a balcony you can’t hear it. The bed was clean and there was enough room for my stuff. It’s easy to order a Loca or Indrive taxi even at 5am. I prebooked and it came 10mins early.

    Very nice location, easy to walk around. The mattress is very comfortable and your bunk bed itself is very big. The locker is not super big but you can store your big luggage in their storage room. The breakfast needs to be cooked from yourself (things are provided for this from the hostel). Staff is super friendly.

    I liked the Vientiane Garden hostel itself they have happy hour (free drinks) and nice chilled music, I met a lot of good people there and made contact with powerful people from all walks of life, most importantly I got to learn about them not only about the city. it's chilled, friendly and safe area. Very close to the club's, you have access to everything you need. Sure case next time I will be there again.

    I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hostel!! The accomodation was cheap and this was possibly the best hostel I have stayed at during my 6-month solo trip. Room was clean, bathrooms were great and the staff were all very kind ☺️ Plus you get free breakfast which is minimal but very reasonable and generous for the low price :) would definitely stay here again next time I visit Vientiane!
