One of the best hostels I’ve stayed at. It’s super clean, comfortable, dorms feel cozy, staff is incredible. You can book tours and bus tickets and they offer you multiple travel companies to do it with, you can pick one that best fits your needs - first hostel in SE Asia that offers something like this. Trying the food in the rooftop restaurant is a MUST. It’s affordable and delicious with stunning views. Wi-Fi is great, bathrooms are awesome and have a homey feel. They put me in female dorm on default 👍 AC is flawless, if you do get cold the blanket is thick enough to warm you up :)

Our stay at The Emerald Hotel was truly memorable. We were in room 907 on one of the top floors, and the view over the city was absolutely stunning. The room was spotless, and every staff member we encountered was welcoming and kind. We want to give a special thanks to Sokmeng, who went far beyond any expectations. When we asked her about Khmer specialties, she didn’t just give recommendations—she offered to take us around the city on her day off to experience the local culture firsthand. Her warmth and generosity were remarkable, making our stay feel genuinely special. Thank you, Emerald Hotel, for such an incredible experience, and especially to Sokmeng for showing us the heart of this city. We’ll always remember this stay with fondness and appreciation.

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!

Probably the most amazing staff of all hostels I've ever been to. Location is just as great, everything is conveniently accessible by taking a walk. Overall, the experience was a blast. For the first time, I feel like coming back again to the exact same place next time.

Tha and his family were great hosts, friendly and helpful, couldn't do enough to make it a great stay! The breakfast was perfect and fresh water was provided daily! The location is great, a quiet street close to the river and town. The room is clean, comfortable and quiet with lots of space to relax, bathroom facilities and patio were all great! A safe and friendly place to stay in Siem Reap! Highly recommend for solo, couples and small family stays!

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 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
