Khammany Inn Reviews

Khammany Inn has recently undergone some refurbishment and restructuring and has successfully managed to turn its horrible reputation around. Now it is a trendy place with an awesome rooftop terrace that offers one of the best views over Phou Si Hill and a free buffet breakfast.

The Location

The hostel is located just south of the main tourist hub of Luang Prabang, but still in easy walking distance of everything that is worth seeing in the town. You can arrive at the National Palace in fifteen minutes on foot from here, and if you decide to wake up early for the alms giving ceremony in the morning, it will only take you ten minutes to walk there. The hostel is also on the road to the Khuang Si waterfall -- if you are driving there yourself by motorbike, you won't have to get through the town's traffic first. While in the direct vicinity, you will only find street food stalls, so if you are looking for something to eat, your best bet is to walk to the night market from here, which you will reach in about twelve minutes.

Rooms and Bathrooms

The place offers a wide variety of rooms, including the newly established wooden bungalow tents on the roof. The dorms have simple bunks but their mattresses are quite comfy. However, as the bedside electronic plugs don't work, the guests have to share a common electronic power point, which can get quite messy. The rooms are en suite, but the big downside is the state of the bathrooms -- they are really rundown and uninviting.

Common Spaces

The hostel is quite spread out and offers a lot of spaces in which to hang out. However, the best one of these is definitely the rooftop area with its amazing views. The free buffet breakfast is served here in the mornings. While it is a buffet, the portions from which you can serve yourself are quite small and you are only entitled to one egg each. However, free tea and coffee are available throughout the day. There is also a cosy area just around the reception with big wooden tables and chairs. If you have your own food, the receptionist is happy to warm it up for you here. Moreover, you can also sit in the terrace area in front of the hostel as well.

Summary

Khammany Inn is still trying to fight the bad reputation it had previously built up for itself. Therefore, prices are incredibly cheap and service is great! As the reconstruction of the place continues, more and more extras are added for guests' comfort. At the time of the review, the bathrooms are still rather disappointing, but the rest of the hostel makes it totally worth staying!
