    This place spiritually cleansed me in an emotional and extrabodily way. The staff were always keen to help and organise social events. They were always happy to chat and make you feel welcome, and feedback I provided regarding one of their tours was immediately actioned. They’ve done an amazing job creating a hostel that hosts travellers who are just as fun and kind hearted as they are. Whether you want something chill or of a party vibe you will find your group. I will miss you guys. You are all very sexy.

    I really love this hostel! I stayed here two separate times and both were very good experiences. For me it was the staff and overall relaxed atmosphere that made the stay great. The staff were very friendly and helpful, they also set up really great tours with knowledgeable and fun tour guides. The room was clean and comfortable, whenever there was an issue it was resolved quickly. The location was good for going to attractions or just for walking around, there is a motorbike rental and coffee shop and restaurants all on the same street. It’s not a party hostel but it was easy to meet people by the pool or in the restaurant, they have games and free towels and books. If you want a relaxing stay I recommend The Place!

    It was an amazing hostel, clean, comfortable and affordable. The tours are fantastic, you can share with other people which is super nice when you're travelling alone. I got excellent vegetarian meal aswell. The staff is very nice.

    One of the best place in town, well located, clean, safe, well equipped and the staff is so nice, welcoming and helpful. All of that for such a cheap price 15$ a night for a confortable private double room with private bathroom. So warming and peaceful, Fully recommended.

    Had a decent experience: Rooms: I checked in and found out I had to pay extra for A/C, you get a fan but that's not great for the extreme heat of Cambodia. There's only one shower and toilet per dorm, so getting a shower can be quite hard. But the beds are comfy and there are curtains. Service: Nice people, decent service, had no problems, even for the restaurant side it was nice. Atmosphere: the common room is great, and the pool is a nice addition and makes this a social yet chill hostel. Love the atmosphere honestly. There are also kitties, so that's great in itself.

    The Place is the place to go in Siem Reap. I booked two nights and ended up staying for two weeks. That itself should tell you that I loved my stay at The Place. For me, cleanliness of the hostel is important, especially the bathroom and shower room. Each dormitory had a bathroom with a tub and a shower curtain. The curtain kept the water from the floor and toilet. I really loved that. The cafe/restaurant area on the first floor was decorated in a colorful scheme that resonated quite beautifully in a peaceful and bright way. I worked throughout the day so having this kind of work environment kept me from feeling down and helped with my creativity. The food in the restaurant was nice too. Having one too many beers in the pub street had me craving something soupy in the morning and its Asian breakfast with some raw chilli on the side was the perfect option for me. Lastly, the owners of The Place were really pleasant in a personable way. They were always trying to improve the quality of the service, help in any way possible if someone ran into problems, and create social gatherings for travelers so they can a fuller and richer experience in Siem Reap. I highly recommend The Place for anyone and everyone!!

    In my opinion this is the best hostel in Siem Reap. I've only stayed in 3 different hostels in this city and I feel this is the by far the best. It's clean, updated, social without being a party hostel. Great common space, including pool, different seating areas, work spaces and a bar with food. The staff are all super friendly and welcoming and if you stay for a few days you end up becoming friends with at least a few of them. The 4 corporate cats top it off. Amigo the meownager, Coffee the security, Candy the crazy one they can't fire and Jelly the one everyone in the office loves 😂🐱

    Great location, amazing price, great service always friendly and offering helpful tips. Hostel is clean and well kept. Only suggestion is that for the rooms there is no natural airflow so the room can be slightly smelly from having no fresh air - windows or doors should be left open for portions of the day to allow clean air in. Would reccomend this hostel to anyone wanting a chill, nice and affordable stay

    I stayed in a female dorm and it was super clean! The beds were comfy and the bathroom was spotless. It was really social, met tons of people here without it being too much of a party vibe. Would recommend if you’re looking to meet people but don’t want a hostel that’s too loud.

    Loved The place! The staff were all amazing especially Heang, she is super sweet and cute❤️ We only planned to stay two days but we have extended many extra nights. The pool was perfect after exploring and we had a great location near everything! The cats were a great added bonus to chill out with them! Thanks for everything 🩷🩷🩷

    The staff is really friendly and welcoming. Always smiling and very helpful too. The hostel itself is very nice too. There are many tours at a cheap price and it's a great way to meet other people while travelling. I really enjoyed my stay here and recommend to anyone travelling to Siem Reap!

    Easily one of the best hostels I've ever stayed in. Clean, quiet, safe, comfortable dorms. Great location. But above all else...the staff were awesome. Some of the nicest people I've met. I got sick one night and the owner himself helped me back into my room. I can't recommend this place enough. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again if I'm ever back in Siem Reap.

    We arrived at 6am after taking a sleeper bus and they let us check in early for a small fee. Nice space with a pool, friendly staff and lots of food options (especially the vegetarian/vegan menu!). Private room was spacious with a big bed. Prices were fair too. The reason I’ve only given 4 stars is the room could use a little TLC. Some lightbulbs and the TV didn’t work plus the AC leaks sometimes. Overall we really enjoyed our stay here and it just needs a few tweaks to make it a really exceptional place to stay 😊

    Nice hostel, good welcome. Didn’t have the occasion to test the bar or restaurant but price looked fair and affordable. Thank you for having curtains that actually isolate all around the bed 👍

    My girlfriend and I recently stayed here and our whole experience was amazing. The private room was clean, the staff were friendly and extremely helpful when we wanted to book tours and transport. The highlight for us was our tour guide for Angkor Wat called Leahpeng. He was honestly the best tour guide we’ve ever had! He spoke very good English and his knowledge of Siem Reap and the Angkor Wat Complex is second to none. If you ask reception for an Angkor Wat tour guide ,ask for Leahpeng you won’t be disappointed ☺️

    Hello and Leonardo here global walker in Asia 😊 I stay 2 days in the fine hostel, enjoyed to humans there from everywhere and dialogs 😊 The ground floor with the colourful furniture, the fine created pool and the reception with smiling humans I enjoying a lot 🙏😁 The hostel is right 5 minute by bike and surrounded by useful things like laundry and cafés. The hostel is in the whole clean and the beds are very comfortable with private spare and electrical equipment incl. Lamp. For me the rooms, have been in a dormitory, personal slightly less bright light atmosphere and less spacious. The bath is fine. So far, to stay with enough budget comfort it's perfect, the hostel has a very nice appropriate offer of discover Angkor Wat, is given 😁 Thanks for welcome me Leonardo 😊

    AVOID the cheaper rooms if you don’t want an unbearably sweaty night’s sleep. I didn’t want to give a negative review but beware as it’s not clearly advertised that their cheaper rooms do not have air conditioning and are HOT AS HELL. I visited when the weather was very hot and had an extremely uncomfortable sleep here. There is no anti-mosquito system so you are forced between having the windows and doors shut and the weak fans feebly circulating the same warm air, or getting bitten all over and having a little airflow with the windows and doors open. (Or a frustrating mix of both) Woke up hot and with bites after a night of broken sleep. Really unimpressed - at the very least they should have bug screens on the window or preferably provided bug nets if the room has to open the windows for ventilation. When I arrived and realised how hot the room was, they said there was nothing they could do (there is actually an air conditioning unit in the room, but they wouldn’t turn it on). Haven’t experienced such a hot room in 3 months budget travelling. Wasn’t worth waiting for them to change beds as I was only staying one night. Otherwise, the bed is generally comfortable, just very shaky top bunk and the sheet provided is all you need, given how hot it was in the room. Social area downstairs is nice - all open-air though so if you’re trying to escape the bugs or the heat, there’s really nowhere you can go. Pool is tiny and cool (thankfully, given the circumstances). Finally, the sunrise Angkor Wat ‘tour’ offered is simply transport between the places - not a tour and no guide. They set the price depending on what the group number on the day is divisible by - so as 9 turned up, they charged us extra as it wasn’t divisible by 4 - something that I don’t think should be the customer’s problem. Such a strange system and wish their pricing system had been more transparent as it is not ‘5$’.

    Had such a great time here. The staff is lovely and helpful. The manager win is super sweet as well as bruna who is one of the staff. Lost my wallet somehow and they both tried to help me find it. Definitely will be staying there if come back to siem reap. They also have the cutest little cats 🐈

    The location is great and the staff are friendly enough. Unfortunately I didn't like the fact that they didn't mention that standard rooms are without air conditioning on Hostelworld. When we asked to change room they asked us to pay more and we said it wasn't fair as we didn't get the information before booking and the woman replied "yes but standard means no AC", it's unbelievable to reply like that as that's not the definition of standard, it's really unprofessional. Also, the WiFi is terrible. And for that too the woman said "yes it's everywhere here" but in the same street in a restaurant/bar the WiFi works very well. We explained this but she kept saying that it was normal and that she hadn't had any problems so far, whereas several people hadn't managed to access the wifi. I would have appreciated a better, more factual response and fewer absurd explanations.

    Really great hostel - traveled as a couple and took one of the private rooms. Super spacious, clean and comfortable beds! The pool is great after a full day of temples. We also got picked up by their tuk tuk driver which was great and we booked all of our tours with them as well. Easy to book spontaneously for the next day, would definitely recommend this hostel! One of the best we've been during our travels ❤️

  • 3/5 SEB W. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice modern clean hostel in a good location. The mattress is comfortable although the thin bed sheet used as a quilt is not. Everything is in good working order. The thing that disappointed me was the staff insisting they have control over the air con temperature in the rooms. This isn’t fair set on the lowest output at the highest temperature. The young male staff member was confrontational when I asked for the remote to turn it down a couple of degrees. I didn’t want to keep the remote and the air con gets turned off during the day anyhow. All other hostels we have stayed in, adopt a mature approach and let the customers agree what the temperature of the dorm should be.

    Great hostel, with very comfortable rooms and lobby. Personel is helpful (specially thanks for guy from Australia). Huge plus for possibility to pay with revolut. The only minus for lady owner who tried to convince us that visit Angor Wat on bike or by our own on scooters in "dangerous". And only safe option is to do it with them. Beside this everything was super. Location also very good. To city center on foot you have 10min.

    Its a really nice hostel beds are comfy with a private fan just for your bed. I loved also the Pool for a swim. My room was quite spacious. Comfy beds. Helpful stuff would stay there again. Noah from the reception helped me to find a scooter for rent. Which i was struggling a bit to find the day before. Thanks bro.
