Good Budget Option. Good location
I booked for 2 nights ( private room with fan / shared bathroom, ) & extended for 3rd night through Expedia - cheaper than booking directly at hostel. Room a bit stuffy but OK if you leave door open with fan on for awhile before turning in for the night. Great location - not far from bus stop, half a block to river& lovely wide river walk park, Lots of good eating options close by , walking distance to Royal Palace / Silver Pagoda, shopping , spas , market etc. Loved Phnom Penn. Light Aerobics group at sunset on river walk at end of street. Fun to watch or join in. ‘MUST Do’ tours - Killing Fields of Choeung Ek. &. Prison museum of Genocidal Crimes.

The worst room I've ever stayed in
We got the double room at the end of the corridor called R3. When we first got there the door had been open and it seemed alright. But there was no ventilation whatsoever in the room (no window either). With the door closed the air was stagnant and very humid and everything in there became moist. The worst part though was the very strong smell of mold. It smelled SO bad that every time we came back into the room we would gag a little bit. In the evening the shared bathroom smelled very moldy as well, but in the morning when they had clean it and sprayed with something it smelled fine. I don't know if we were unlucky with that room, maybe the others are better if they have some kind of ventilation. But we got out of there as soon as possible in the morning and moved to another hotel. I have never been in a room that smells this disgusting. When the manager is not there the staff are sleeping and not taking food orders, which they were suppose to serve all day long.

Small hostel, but not very helpful
Arrived at the hotel, greeted by friendly Australian owner. Once room was made up, we were given access but the room was damp with very stagnant air. You could smell the mold and the whole room, bedding, pillows etc was damp. Asked for a change of room as my partner has a chest infection, was told there was no rooms spare (despite being more available to book online) We had no choice but to check out again and pay for somewhere else. We were scheduled for 2 nights, literally only left our bags in the room for a couple of hours. Owner apologised that he couldn't be more helpful and said goodbye. Didn't get a refund on the second night (despite their 24 hour cancellation policy) Stayed across at the new hotel opposite, very comfortable, very clean and very friendly.

Ok for backpackers. Check wifi is working first.
All was ok, except wifi wasn't working at all for the night we stayed which really didn't help two backpackers that were planning on using the night to plan their next couple of days in the area.
