The newest Hostel built in Cambodia, specially designed by travelers for travelers.

The Siem Reap Hostel is a clean and luxurious hostel at backpacker prices, featuring private and dorm rooms. All are en suite! We also have 6 communal areas, restaurant, bar and the only indoor swimming pool in Siem Reap. It is owned and operated by Australian, Cambodian and British nationals, all of whom are experienced travelers who know how to cater for weary legs, dry mouths and rumbling tummies after a day of adventure. The atmosphere is laid back with opportunities for relaxation, but should you want some excitement, there are various themes and activities available throughout the week. Our sound system and big screen TV are in our bar area where we screen special events and movies. We also have a free computer/internet room. The Hostel backs onto the serene setting of the Wat Damnak Temple and is only one block away from the Old Market and the town centre making it the ideal location for exploring Siem Reap. Our rates are as follows: Dorm room: $8 per night in the low season. Private Room (2 people): $30 per night Private Room (3 people): $45 per night (If you book a private room on hostel world it calculates the price on 3 people staying. If there's only 2 of you staying, we'll ammend the room rate accordingly) We also do weekly and long term rates. Buffet breakfast is included for private room guests, and is $1 per person for those staying in dorm rooms. The breakfast includes tea, coffee, juices, toast, pancakes, fresh fruit and cereals. See you soon James, Mel and The Siem Reap Hostel Team :-)

Our stay was the best, most amazing possible. Ever single staff member should be commended on a job well done. Our tuk-tuk driver Yim was an absolute dream!

This was a really cool place. The breakfast is awesome. The first night I was there, my room smelled strangely and the staff changed it for me without a problem. Also, the swimming pool was nice.

It's a perfect location, very clean, total flashpacker, incredibly easy to meet people, but it is a bit expensive compared to what else is out there. Be aware the front desk staff may/may not speak much English and that their idea of customer service is a bit different than the managers. Don't use the tuk tuk driver offered by front desk staff. Overall, a good time!close

This place is fantastic. By far the best hostel I've ever stayed in. Super clean, brilliant pool, secure, comfy beds, great ensuite bathrooms, helpful staff: words don't do it justice. I will be recommending this place to anyone I know going to Siem Reap in the future.

I have a feeling that The Siem Reap Hostel is loads of fun when it's busy. Unfortunately, i think that i visited Siem Reap at a quiet time. However, i was lucky enough to meet some great people at the hostel whilst i was there so i was lucky.

It is on the expensive side as far as hostels go ($8USD per bed in mixed dorm) but you definitely get what you pay for and more! The only down side was the the room we were staying in had really bad water pressure (reduced to a mere trickle). Great hostel overall.

It was a really fantastic hostel! Very clean, close location the main street or town, really nice tuk tuk drivers, and good food. You can tell they put a lot of thought into all aspects of the hostel, from the reading lights to the three roles of toliet paper in the bathrooms at all times, etc....

A fantastic hostel, the only real 'hostel' option in Siem Reap. The swimming pool is a real bonus and the air con is a lovely treat. Maybe a little pricey in comparison but then it is brand new and has everything you need.
