I didn't stay here, but I visited for a friends night out. The service in the rooftop bar was dreadful. First the staff short-changed my friend after she ordered beer - this is a common form of theft in bad places here. Always check your change carefully. There are 4000 riels to the dollar. Then I ordered a fish burger... More

Avoid the food here at all costs. I didn't stay at the hotel, i just stopped in for the chicken kebab special, my hotel was 30 feet away. It tasted ok but about 4 hours later I got violently sick, with diahrrea and vomiting, cold chills and hot flashes... I wasn't able to leave my hotel room for 24 hours... More

We stayed there with some friends and were very disappointed. I think it is my worst experience of a guesthouse / hotel. As soon as we arrived there was a problem with the reservation. The rooms we had booked were not available and we were asked to pay extras. The only positive aspect is that the atmosphere on the rooftop... More

This is the perfect guesthouse if you want to stay in Phnom Penh!!!! It's near the river, in a district full of shops, market and eating spot. The room is not so big but there is a big nice bathroom, 15$ for two persons. On the guesthouse's roof there is a very cool bar,with pool,a lot of trees, you can... More

Let me start with the positives...good location, okay price ($12/night), fun bar/restaurant upstairs with cheap(ish food). However, we have backpacked in SE Asia and this is one of the worst places I have stayed. $12 with a shared bathroom is certainly not the cheapest, and once you check in the service is terrible and the place is unclean. We saw... More

The only good thing about this hostel is the fact that it is close to the river. Otherwise avoid. Overpriced at $30 a night (appreciate was Xmas period), we stayed here Xmas day and it sent us spiralling into depression. Upon arrival we were shown our room which was devoid of any character or comfort and the sheets /towels were... More
