Awesome place to stay in a in a buzy city. Stayed here for 3 nights in late March & loved it. The huge open communal areas that house the bar, restaurant & the pool is a great place to hang out & chill in the PP heat. From the fist encounter to the last I found the staff extremely polite,... More

We booked through hostelworld a couple days before arrival and booked an 8 bed dorm as there was 8 of us. When we arrived there was only 4 beds so they were saying we would have to share. Obviously we argued with them and whilst doing so an Irish couple came down to argue as they had booked 2 private... More

The other reviews say it all. Pool, pooltable and common area are fantastic. The Cambodian staff are polite and extremely helpful. I think the food is cheaper than other hostels and awesome. The breakfasts were fantastic. I highly recommended the Vietnamese Salad Rolls, worth every penny. Stayed in the 5 dollar rooms. They were pretty good for the price but... More

We had a great stay in this comfortable, vibey hostel that has an awesome bar and pool area that serves Khmer and western style food. We stayed in a double room with aircon and private bathroom which was clean and comfortable. It is in walking distance from Wat Phnom and 51st Street (Club Street) staff are very friendly and helpful,... More

The rooms are clean and affordable. Also stayed in the dorm room one night which had comfortable beds and good A/C. The bar/restaurant area is cool to hang out in with good cocktails, but a little expensive and loud. We weren't happy about the location. It's a far walk from the central market and the area where we spent most... More

I am gonna call you out on our location from Central Market! We are only 1 street from the market, you could hold your breath and run there, we could not be better placed if your main objective is to spend time at the market!

We were traveling as 3 girls and stayed here twice in an en suite room. Very comfortable with AC option for those who might want it and very clean. The bar and restaurant are really fun and the food is yummy. Extensive cocktail menu which is a plus and the staff are chilled and make sure everyone is happy, comfortable... More

I don't know about others accomodations in Phnom Penh, but even if this is cheap it can ruin your days. rooms have no air conditioning (and in Phnom Penh you are going to need it at the end of the day), it is not so clean and the guy at the desk is quite rude..he doesn't even know things about...

There’s a whole range of interesting things to do in PP – boat trips with Cham fishermen down the Mekong, visits to Killing Fields and Toul Sleng, trips out to the shooting range - all of these we can help to arrange! Some other things like football on riverside, it’s always more fun to go out and explore yourself ;-)... More

I stayed at this hostel because I had a friend staying there & it turned out great. The dorm rooms are big & the aircon works well. The pool & bar area are great to meet people. The wifi is a little dodgy at times but overall my stay here at this hostel was good.

I chose to stay here because a fellow traveller raved about the place. So, I was really looking forward to my 6 night stay here. Unfortunately, I didn't have a good experience: 1. No reply to email request for pick-up & no one was at bus station on arrival. Receptionist says someone was there to pick me up?! Not a... More

Thanks for the feedback: 1. As noted on Hostelworld, we cannot guarantee our pick ups. Unfortunately the bus drivers and other tuktuk drivers occasionally run scams where they will stop at a different stop than designated. The tuktuk drivers are then unable to complete the pick up. It looks like this was such an occasion, sorry! 2. We have a... More
