The pro of this place is that the owner is a great Pool player. And that's a con as well.

Cost me just 7 dollars, good beds and washrooms. There are even lockers for you to keep your stuff safe and go around. There is a pool to chill you down from the heat of the noon here. Reasonably priced food services and the bar is also pretty suave. Would love to be back here again soon.

The female dorm was really comfortable, with a lot of space and a huge and clean bathroom. Activities are held everyday so you can never be bored in this hostel, a plus for solo travelers. The staff were incredible, nice and friendly. Especially Soso and Kimsin that took great care of me during my stay. Everything exceeded my expectations, I would love to come again !

Clean, quiet dorm. Helpful staff. Located close to the bus station and all the hustle and bustle area but still very quiet. Bathroom outside of the dorm.

Brand new hotel with what I guess promotional prices. Dorm and rooms are both top notch. Staff was really friendly and helpful. Location is OK, quiet enough for a big city, close to the Genocide museum but far from anything else.

I recently stayed at Villa and had a fantastic experience. The hostel offers training in Kun Khmer, a style similar to Muay Thai, which was a major draw for me. The rooftop gym is well-equipped and has a great atmosphere, with beautiful views of the city. When classes aren’t in session, the gym is free for guests to use, which is a huge plus if you want to work out at your own pace. The hostel is under new management, and you can tell they’re putting in the effort to make it a great place. The staff was super friendly and always available to help with anything I needed. Especially Pai, who went out of the way to help me find things around the city.

The Staff was great! Not only the 2 guys at the Reception but also the people working downstairs at the Bar. I was almost completely alone in my room which was nice because it was really quiet. The beds are big and really comfortable and the lockers were able to fit all of my luggage. The food downstairs was also great. Both Breakfast and Dinner was fast and tasted really good and the prices are more than fair. Since I am traveling alone it's great the 2 guys from reception are really open and talkative. Would definitely come back to this place!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little 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
