Property badly in need of an update, not in best location down a dirt road 15 mins walk from all the action. Staff I met had poor attitude, maybe it was only the ones I met. Luggage storage is shocking, just a flimsy shed that anyone could break into. Left after 1 night as much better hostels in siem reap

Disappointed

Check in was terrible. They made a mistake on my reservation and had to switch me rooms the following day but wanted me to leave my stuff and laptop in the public storage. I had a trip planned to the temples and was not going to trust my laptop to be left in public storage that was not even monitored. They then wantede to buy a locker to keep my laptop at my own expense. I think this should have been comped because it was their mistake. This wa stage reason I booked a single room to have the security of leaving my valuables in a secured unshared space.

I liked the pool and the bicycle rental. Not too hard to get to Angkor. I was not a fan of the music in the bar area: they played too loud too early, wasn't feeling the house and bass of it all.

1泊料金の安さに釣られ。

エアコン ドミトリーに5泊しました。1泊$3ドル以下で満足してます。 部屋は 1階 #107. 2段ベットが6個の12人ドミ。24時間エアコン. 天井ファンも有り。 トイレ/シャワーRoomは2ヵ所。枕元にライトと電源. マットレスもそこそこ厚目で寝心地は良し. ベットの下に荷物入れ有り ロックは自分ので。マア 何処のホステル/ゲストハウスも客の主流は白人の若い男女なので 部屋の中は これでもか! って位ゴミだらけになります。 特筆はやや大きめなプールが有り パシャパシャ できます. ただ 日陰でこの時期は寒さげ。レストランもあって. この辺りが共有スペースに。 白人ばかりの宿は 夜 寝るとき 防寒対策はしっかり 着ないと 大変な目に会います!。 又 ここを利用するかと問われれば. 同じ様な価格帯と設備の宿は 幾らでも有る シェムリアップなので どうでしょう?!。

Defraud front desk but admire driver Mr. Vanna

Room and amenities is clean and reasonable for price that we payed plus the hostel have many packages for show such as Apsara Performance and Buffet dinner that is awesome , but front desk (women) a little bit untruthful because we brought TukTuk package from her but she gave old banknote $50 as a change,which can not use for buying ticket in Angkor Wat office (Officers dont receive old banknote somehow). It's like a defrauding because she already knows that old big bank CANNOT use but she still gave it to us.All in all,Hotel is good but front desk.

Nice enough place. Booked tuk tips to see the temples through the hostel which all went very smoothly! Food expensive so we didn’t eat there. Our room wasn’t as nice as the pictures/description suggested, and initially they tried to put us in a much cheaper twin room despite us paying for a king double - when we pointed this out they pushed the beds together, and offered us the same room. Then we looked out the window and we get no view despite our more expensive room specifically having a ‘city view’. Eventually they confessed and asked if we wouldn’t mind changing rooms the next day - they didn’t offer a discount for that night or anything - because they had overbooked. We refused and they found us a room from somewhere... Rest of stay was ok and staff were friendly they rest of the time.

便宜，離酒吧街一段距離 雙人房除了毛巾，沒有其他提供

首先真的十分便宜，地點離酒吧街一段距離，不管是夜市或是有名的餐廳都有一點距離。用走的至少15分鐘。 雙人房間還是滿乾淨的。但洗澡用品是沒有的，牙刷牙膏也沒有，只有毛巾。 房裡有風扇、冷氣和電視機，沒有水提供。 另外旅館有從機埸接到旅館服務，免費的。但沒有送，要自己付錢。 還有因為旅館有泳池跟酒吧，所以不到10點都會有點吵。
