We couldn’t fault our stay at this hotel. The room itself was beautiful, clean and massive for just the two of us. The aircon worked amazing too. The staff were so helpful with helping us from everything to SIM cards to laundry and always had a smile.

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 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
