Okay Guesthouse - Reviews and Deals - Phnom Penh

Very busy hostel, probably wise to book ahead. Despite being busy I managed to negotiate a single room with fan, cold shower, cable TV on the 5th floor for $6/night. It was comfortable, secure, the staff were helpful and the restaurant downstairs was always buzzing so it’s a great place to meet people. Also they run the drinks and food on a ‘trust’ system, where you write down in your room book everything you eat and take from the fridge and settle up at the end, which is great for a late night drinking session or for taking drinks to your room if there’s no staff around to serve you. The only downside was the thousands and thousands of little flying things (possibly mosquitoes) that flew around the hall lights at night. You walk up the stairs into a cloud of them so you have to get in your room and close the door as fast as you can! In the morning they are all dead on the floor when you step out. I did get a few extra bites but nothing too dramatic. I would stay here again.

This Guesthouse was definitely one of my favorite parts of my 2 month trip to Asia. It's incredibly clean, ridiculously cheap, and you don't even want to leave the guesthouse because it's a great place to meet people and relax. Dorms (with a shared bathroom) are $1 a night. I was a bit worried about my belongings the first night but they were safe. The only bad part about staying in the dorm is that there are 2 doubles across from the beds and sometimes the people staying in those rooms can be really loud and disrespectful. Single with hot water/bath is $4 a night.

The guesthouse has a restaurant in it and every night they play movies that you can pick out. Your entire stay is kept on a tab, too, so you pay for everything (room, food, beer) when you leave. There is also travel services (tours, visas) available, along with really friendly tuk tuk drivers or motorbikes (request Mao- he became our good friend and driver while being there!!)

I ended up staying a week in Phnom Penh because I made so many friends at the guesthouse. They all speak really good english and are really friendly. We even went out to get food and to a club with some of the guys. All in all, this is the best place you can stay in Phnom Penh, especially if you're traveling by yourself, which I was.

I highly recommend it and if you're planning on staying there soon, let me know! I will have you relay messages to the friends I met there :)
