Amazing stay, we really enjoyed the Kick-boxing (khun Khmer) training that they offer and that we highly recommend, a transformative experience. It was so good that we prolongued our stay for one week. The hosts are extremely inspiring and have a great energy! The staff is amazing, the room is big and the beds are very comfortable. Everything was very clean and tidy. Also good location, well connected with the tuktuk to the city center and there are great local restaurants nearby. In conclusion, if you are depressed save yourself the psychologist and come here to get a training!

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.

    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 host was great, she seemed very eager to help although often she did not have the answers, and sometimes she was a bit blunt, but I'll put it down to the language barrier. She speak French though. The area is nice, not too far from the center or the Royal Palace. Room was big and tidy, with a big balcony. Despite being in low season with not many guest, the place still had a "youth hostel" feel about it... you could imagine it being completely rammed with backpackers in high season...

    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

    One of my best hostels for my Asia trip. As I prefer hostels in the city than on the beach this was ideal. The rooms were spacious and perfectly enough.The staff was very easy going, friendly and helpful and they were always up for a joke. The atmosphere was amazing and through the regular activities you could always meet new people. I'll definitely be back.
