Really nice hostel, one of the best I've stayed in. Whole place is clean clean clean. The furnishings are all new and modern. Plenty of hot water and great water pressure in the showers. Beds are very comfortable and bedding is clean and stain free. No roaches or ants or flies in the indoor rooms. Bedrooms are kept ICE COLD. The AC definitely works lol. Staff was nice and helpful for the few interactions I had with them.
Also, the quietest hostel I've stayed in. Everyone was super respectful of keeping quiet in the dorm room. I didn't see any lockers however, so as far as I can tell there's no way to lock your valuables up.
Only thing I wish they had was one indoor space to work in. The mosquitoes are vicious in Cambodia and the only place with tables and chairs was the open air ground floor common space. I got bit up real good when I needed to work for a few hours at night.
Overall I still give it a 5/5 and will definitely come back if I'm ever in Phnom Penh again.
The location is very good for me. there are many cheap foods around. They immediately moved me to a different room when I requested cus the 12 mixed dorm smelt bad cus of some indian guest. they are very accommodating. I rented a bike for 3usd I used It from 9am to 10pm. so it is worth it. The rooms are ok. bed is comfy and clean. Toilets and showers are clean too. they have a nice pool and very spacious common area.
Great place to stay. Clean, near and tidy rooms. The hostel is really big.
They have a nice swimming pool, billiards table and foosball. Iots of food and drinks options.
The reception andbar service people were so nice. You can get your laundry done at $1.25 per kg and also rent a bicycle at $3 per day.
It has good connectivity and easy to reach.
In the main city.
They have both Dormitory and private rooms options at reasonable rates.
This is a lovely hostel, with good, honest staff members that are helpful and take great pride in their business. In private rooms, rooms are clean, beds are very big and comfortable. The swimming pool is a huge positive to have and was never busy during my whole visit, whilst the bar is great. The location is not too far from downtown to be a 10-15 minute tuk tuk ride away, but far enough away to be quiet at night time, which is convenient for sleeping well. My only comment of suggestion for the hostel is to arrange more communal activities (such as cooking classes, or a solo traveller meet up with incentive) to try and attract more guests to stay here, as it can be difficult to meet people here as a solo traveller compared to the mega-hostels elsewhere in town. If this can be fostered, this will be the best hostel in SE Asia
Such a great hostel! Its big, there’s a nice swimming pool and lots of common areas to chill down. I got the private room for a really good price and its super comfortable. Its located on the peninsula, so you’re a kitty far from the center but i loved that. Its a quiet area, full of locals and you can get anywhere by tuktuk.
