I had a great experience staying at Onederz Phnom Penh! The hostel is clean, modern, and well-organized, making it a perfect place for both solo travelers and groups. The rooftop pool with a stunning river view was definitely a highlight – a great spot to relax after a day of exploring the city. The dorms were comfortable, with privacy curtains, personal lights, and power outlets at each bed. The air conditioning worked well, keeping the room cool even in the heat. The staff were friendly and always willing to help with recommendations or travel arrangements. The location is also ideal – right by the riverside, within walking distance of local markets, restaurants, and attractions. The in-house café had delicious and affordable food, which was super convenient. If I had to mention one small downside, the curtains on the dorm beds didn’t close fully, which could affect privacy for some. But overall, I had an amazing stay and would definitely return! Highly recommend to anyone visiting Phnom Penh.

Our stay at The Emerald Hotel was truly memorable. We were in room 907 on one of the top floors, and the view over the city was absolutely stunning. The room was spotless, and every staff member we encountered was welcoming and kind. We want to give a special thanks to Sokmeng, who went far beyond any expectations. When we asked her about Khmer specialties, she didn’t just give recommendations—she offered to take us around the city on her day off to experience the local culture firsthand. Her warmth and generosity were remarkable, making our stay feel genuinely special. Thank you, Emerald Hotel, for such an incredible experience, and especially to Sokmeng for showing us the heart of this city. We’ll always remember this stay with fondness and appreciation.

This is the best-priced bed and only hostel in TTP, very cool atmosphere of mixed martial arts upstairs, café and bar downstairs. Lots of beers to choose from! Staff are friendly, breakfast is fresh-cooked to order and everything reasonably priced. The garden around the back offers a nice quiet space to relax.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    This hostel is perfect if you want to meet new friends and fellow travelers. It's clean and comfortable, providing a welcoming atmosphere. While it's a bit far from the main tourist attractions, getting around by tuk-tuk is easy and convenient. It's truly one of the best hostels in Phnom Penh, and I can't wait to come back! Highly recommended for social travelers!

    It is a super clean hostel, and with plenty of common spaces. However, I think it is for young backpackers with a high budget, because it is a lot of party and the hostel restaurant is expensive, I paid 8.20 USD for a breakfast that consisted of a double espresso plus two pieces of toast with avocado, tomato and one pouched egg... it is expensive.

    The hostel has a great location near the riverside, it is rather cheap and the beds are solid and not squeaky. The common bathroom was clean enough.

    The onederz hostel is the best destination a solo and small budget traveller could ask for. The hygiene is really good, the beds and bathrooms are really clean. The beds are big and there is free shampoo and soap in the bathrooms. I have been to the onederz hostel everytime I come to Phnom Penh for the week end (around 10 times). It is absolutely amazing. The rooftop is breath taking and the food is good and cheap.

    This seems like a luxury backpacker's hostel. A dream for those who want to keep the budget, but at the same time want maximum comfort. Staff speaks good English, attentive, and explain everything clearly. Everything is very clean and it seems you're in a 3 star hotel with a pool, except you share your room with other travelers
