I was supposed to stay a couple of days in Phnom Penh, then I had to extendm I decided to continue staying in Nangkol Village mostly because of its personnel. They are super attentive and kind, specially Tola, Seyha, Nik, actually, all of them. They are caring and always concerned that guests have a good stay. They even helped to change my bus-ticket. Good quality-price ratio.

Well located in the Daun Penh district, this hostel provides a shared lounge, as well as an indoor pool. Guests can enjoy American and Cambodian dishes at the restaurant or have a cocktail at the bar.

I was a bit afraid reading some reviews when I booked, but since was one of the cheapest option in Phnom Penh, I booked it anyway, I though it was only for two nights…but I have to say that my stay at Pooltop Hostel was amazing! Clean room, clean bed (i was in the room when they arrived to clean the room and to change the bed sheets of a old customer), really nice staff. The bed is a bit harder, but I had worse bed in other places (Thailand for example). Amazing pool, really nice restaurant which pool-game and darts. Yes it can be a bit loud, as every hostel where you stay…put some earplugs and it will be good!

He was super friendly, allowing me to leave the bags in the hotel after check out and, then, letting me use the lavatory. The hole is very well located, right in the city center of Phnom Phen. The rooms are perfect; they all come with fully functional A/C, they are clean and very quite at night. Highly recommended!

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.

    Cheap price for a decent dorm with 3 bunk beds and bathroom inside. Could be cleaner (I had a big spiderweb just above my head in the bed) but above all it was good! It was a quick stay so I can’t say more, but staff was friendly and helpful and I would have loved to stay for the morning class!

    Unfortunately i have to say be careful with your MONEY that you keep in the safe deposit box/LOCKER, which belongs to the hostel. Also the wifi does not work well on the third floor. Apart of that, the service staff is ok, suddenly you can find some half-drunk waiter who offers you the menu.

    We stayed here 2 nights. Staff were very attentive. Great location to food, bars, central market, riverfront all in walking distance. Accommodation is perfect for the budget value traveler that has all the bar/food options on the street below. Light breakfast offered, is one choice off selection of items + coffee or tea or juice. Rooms are accessible by steep stairs via veranda from exterior of building. This is a busy street therefore you will hear the noise through your door.

    Great atmosphere at the common area! Has a nice restaurant/bar, a billiard pool and a swimming pool that helps to hang out with other fellow travelers. The Lok lak at the restaurant was delicious. The laundry cost me only 2-3 dollars and was folded nicely in a very professional way by the laundry company the hostel collaborates with. Has clubs with good music and vibe, not too far away, that are ideal for expats or backpackers!

    Pool was nice addition to a hostel, bar upstairs was good and the food also, staff upstairs were lovely and friendly. Location was good and a lady at the front desk helped us organise a trip to the killing fields and S21 museum. Beer is cheap as chips. Majority of the staff were really kind, smiley and helpful.
