Guest Reviews

• Bibiana (10/5): -
• Eva (8/5): -
• Clément (10/5): - J’ai séjourné dans la chambre privé et elle était parfaite ! La chambre était propre et spacieuse, le personnel est très accueillant et l’emplacement à côté du riverside est parfait
• Lise (10/5): L’emplacement est super, l’accueil très chaleureux et l’endroit super confort ! - L’emplacement est super, l’accueil très chaleureux et l’endroit super confort !
• Lindsey (6/5): Very budget option - The staff is super nice, walkable location to everything, AC and fan work very well The bed is extremely uncomfortable, the shower head was very clogged with hardwater, only a sheet on the bed instead of a blanket (I get that it's very hot outside but the AC works REAL well), older building and room
• Flavio (8/5): - Ausgezeichnete Lage, mitten im Trubel der Stadt
• Dan Andrei (10/5): -
• Dan Andrei (10/5): -
• ticia85 (9/5): - L'emplacement central, calme Ras
• Sandra (7/5): Bon emplacement - L'emplacement est bien, à quelques mètres des berges de la rivière et de plein de bars, et près d'un marché aussi. La chambre que nous avions était correcte pour le prix, avec une clim fonctionnant bien et un grand lit plutôt confortable. Balcon aussi mais peu utilisé à cause de la chaleur et du fait qu'il donnait directement sur la rue (nous étions au 2e étage : attention aux escaliers pour ceux qui préfèrent éviter). L'équipe était assez sympathique. Possibilité de manger sur place en bas à toute heure. En ce qui concerne notre chambre, nous avons juste trouvé que la salle de bain était assez vieillissante, avec une baignoire un peu abîmée aussi (mais bon, on ne vient pas pour prendre un bain...) ; le ventilatzur de plafond est aussi un peu vieillot et faisait du bruit. Si vous aimez le calme, évitez ce lieu le week-end (vous pourriez trouver cela bruyant du fait que les berges à deux pas deviennent piétonnes les samedis et dimanches soirs, avec beaucoup d'animation ; ou alors comme nous, vous mettez des bouchons d'oreille !).
• Valérie (7/5): Très bien situé , proche du palais royal -
• Nuria (8/5): - Està molt ben situat, personal atent. Habitació sense finestres, fosca i amb molta humitat.
• Martin-Rudolf (10/5): - Great location and amazing people working there. Good and lovely expats.
• Michael (9/5): - Everything okay Nothing
• Viktor (7/5): -
• Fernandez (10/5): - Logement très grand et mignon avec une terrasse immense Lit super confortable Rapport qualité prix super
• Dany (8/5): Excellent value for price - The place is very well located and staff are exceptionally friendly. The bar is great (and cheap) too. Gives very nice "homy" vibes. the decoration
• Quentin (10/5): -
• Stephan (10/5): -
• Calderon (1/5): CVNT5 - The bed and privacy The manager, a westerner around 30's was always drunk, weeded up, and screwed up to the top, but kind when lucid.
• Emma (10/5): -
• Cortney (8/5): Great value place to soak up a bit of Phnom Pemh life - Very much an old-school backpacker place. Don’t expect much in terms of facilities, just appreciate a clean space in a great location, with friendly helpful staff. I loved hanging out at the attached bar & being able to meet so many expats, all with amazing stories to tell. A/C could be a bit stronger
• Neil (10/5): Good times at a friendly chilled out place, and a great lively location,near to the Rverside. - There is a retaurant downstairs so food not a problem and very friendly staff and a great atmosphere. The aircon is sometimes not switched on but if you ask theres no problem.
• Pauline (9/5): -
• MARTINA (8/5): -
• Mạnh Toàn (6/5): -
• Suryadi (10/5): Exceptional - I can sleep peacefully in dorm I like all
• Nick (4/5): Disappointing - location and staffs are ok. AC is strong. The rooms are quite rundown and so dull, tgere is not enough light. We had to climb the narrow stairs with our luggage. Bedsheets are old as well .
• Mirjam (7/5): Good -
• Biagioni (7/5): Simple clean accomodation in central area - Simple accommodation, nice staff, restaurant and bar downstairs, centrally located Close to the ‘red light’ if that’s something you want to avoid
• Moshe (10/5): the best value for your buck, excellent location, 100% would book again - they don't have breakfast included, but the hostel is also a bar and restaurant, so you have plenty of options for that. Location is excellent, couldn't be better. great value for money and a huge plus is that you can pay with card! the beds are usual for the region, but not for my back. Really hard mattresses and also; the toilet situation for the dorm is not the best, but you'll get by
• El (10/5): Exceptional - I stayed in the Local riverside during Khmer new year and it was great. It’s close to everything and still calm if you just want to chill. The beds in the dormitory are big but you can also have a private room if you prefer. The must is Yat the owner and the others staff members like Nana who are very nice and welcome you as a friend. Also the food is very good. I definitely recommend to stay there.
• Gallagher (10/5): Exceptional -
• Daniel (10/5): Perfect for the price - Already been two times in this hostel and definetly will go back evertime in Phnom Penh. Thank you Yat
• Onur (9/5): Location friendly and clean place - Location friendly, cheap bar and clean rooms. If you are not away from fans, you may feel the heat in the night
• António (10/5): Exceptional - Good place, good people
• Paul (10/5): Exceptional -
• Xin (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, just by the river. Walking distance to everywhere. Staff very friendly and helpful. Room beautiful and comfortable.
• Alice (9/5): Superb -
• Marvin (7/5): Good -
• Laure-lou (7/5): Good - The place was lovely, a little bit loud because of the balcony over the street
• Lhayeso90 (6/5): Pleasant - Great location and very friendly staff. Very cheap. Handy having air-con and fan plus bonus to have a balcony. Unfortunately, it was not up to my standards. There were bugs crawling around on side table, the bath was duct taped and the sink was coming away from the wall. I can imagine the owners want to do well, and it must be really hard to make enough money to keep these places going, but I wouldn't stay again.
• Nick3770 (8/5): Very good -
• Jan (8/5): Very good - Nice accommodation. A small hotel in such an old style. The equipment is a bit shabby, but still functional. Nice, friendly and helpful staff. Ideal location. Right next to the market and the river promenade and a short walk to the Royal Palace and Wat Phnom. I recommend a room with a balcony! Just minor things, I guess. The bathroom only had a small bar of soap, one sachet of hair shampoo and the rest of a roll of toilet paper. The sink was slightly detached from the wall and the crack in the bathtub was covered with duct tape.
• Heerco (9/5): Great place, close to river and restaurants, bars. - Really a great place to stay. Staff is super nice and friendly! Serving great food and drinks. Nice place very close to the river, to restaurants and bars. Stayed in private room, was very comfortable. Really recommended to stay here!
• David (9/5): Superb - Great staff , very friendly
• Outland (7/5): Good -
• Mitchell (9/5): Liked it a lot - I've stayed here before and I'll stay again. Balcony room. Very convenient location. Friendly owner.
• Robert (5/5): Not good - The staff No elevator. I'm 75 y/o I messaged them a week before I got there and ask for the lowest floor possible. They put me on the 3rd floor with steep stairs. They could have done better. Plus they lock you in at night. Like being in jail. My bathtub had duct tape holding it together and the water was only a small trickle. Not even enough to shower or shave' I booked for 3 nights and stayed only one. You can find better places at this price. I would not recommend this place
• Bhendo (8/5): Very good -
• Anjul (6/5): Pleasant -
• Anjul (6/5): Disturbing Sounds - Nice location. Comfortable bed. 1. There is a long-term guest in the first bed, who never went out and was always in the room watching videos on his phone without headphones, even at 2am at night! I asked him to turn it down at night or use headphones, but the next night he continued disturbing with the sound at 2am. 2. I wanted to tell the manager, but there was a similar problem from his side. He plays loud music in the common area one floor down (even when nobody is there, maybe to discourage people from hanging out). But the speakers are next to the ceiling, so the sound from the speakers comes into the sleeping room. So finally, irritating video sounds at night + loud music from the morning from the manager. Disappointed.
• Dr.gore (10/5): Exceptional - Everything!!! The host is a kind guy, very helpful!!! They provide towels and locks...food is amazing....beer on draft...save place... perfect 😄!!!!
• Kumar (1/5): I was unable to sleep due to hotel atmosphere because they neither provided AC nor fan. - I was unable to sleep due to hotel atmosphere because they neither provided AC nor fan. I booked other accommodation as It was very hard to spend the night. They also not returned my booking amount of next day while I left their accommodation. I paid booking amount on 1st day due to trust of booking.com. But after this bad experience I'll never go with booking.com and also I'll share my feedback to my network(relatives, friends and YouTube channel) and I'll make sure they never go ahead with booking.com I was unable to sleep due to hotel atmosphere because they neither provided AC nor fan.

• Georgia (7/5): Good - Staff were very welcoming and friendly throughout our stay. Bottled water given each day. Location perfect. The room itself was fairly average with a cold shower.
• Alice (8/5): Very good - Superb location to access places but also a quieter street. Host was very friendly. Easy access. Good working aircon. Large bathroom No window in the room. No free accessible water (although a bottle given each at the start of stay)
• Waseem (10/5): Exceptional -
• Fernando (6/5): okay for one night, nice people and reception - location was okay, although hard to find since the name of the hostel does not show from the street, and the driver did not know where it was... the bathroom was awkward, a high step into it, and shower inside the tub at the curved end, i imagine someone drunk would have a tough time negotiating said bathroom

• Elliot (10/5): Exceptional - The owner and all the staff are extremely friendly and helpful, we decided to extend our stay here due to how friendly everyone was and the great location of this place
• Elliot (10/5): Exceptional -
• Rey (7/5): Good - the location and the price are the factors that satisfying me the most. it just near by the riverside and few minutes walking can achieve royal palace. besides the reception is very kind and can speak English well, very nice. I hope the bed could install the curtain because in the room, even in the hostel I hope a little bit privacy. And the water in the bathroom seems not strong enough. to sum up it just fit the price. hardly could we find another place with the low price.
