The style of the hotel has evolved a lot, there is a lot of free space now. The rooms with several beds are very well organized. Good value for money. The standard and deluxe rooms are perfect for accommodating a child and two adults (my son is always happy to come and sleep and play in the hotel every weekend). The YouTube option on the television is too good!! (Be careful of the electrical outlets in the bathroom above the sinks, they are very dangerous with water) it would be good to put electric kettles for hot water in some rooms. The hotel is very clean. The cleaning team is very well organized for the complete cleaning all day long. The bar team is very friendly and professional. The night reception team is very friendly (thank you Seth for your smile, your advice and your listening to my many questions). The reception day team is very friendly and professional (thank you all for your good work) and thank you Benjamin for the many changes to my room reservations and your kindness with my son). The pool is very good. Very happy for this trip. I will come back next year without hesitation.

I had a great experience staying at Onederz Phnom Penh! The hostel is clean, modern, and well-organized, making it a perfect place for both solo travelers and groups. The rooftop pool with a stunning river view was definitely a highlight – a great spot to relax after a day of exploring the city. The dorms were comfortable, with privacy curtains, personal lights, and power outlets at each bed. The air conditioning worked well, keeping the room cool even in the heat. The staff were friendly and always willing to help with recommendations or travel arrangements. The location is also ideal – right by the riverside, within walking distance of local markets, restaurants, and attractions. The in-house café had delicious and affordable food, which was super convenient. If I had to mention one small downside, the curtains on the dorm beds didn’t close fully, which could affect privacy for some. But overall, I had an amazing stay and would definitely return! Highly recommend to anyone visiting Phnom Penh.

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
