The place was nice and clean and we liked staying there although we always had the feeling that everything was about buying and selling. Take definetly a room with A/C because fan is too hot! All of the three mornings we had lots of mosquito bites and plenty other bites we're not sure about.

Nice Pool. Was a little bit hard to talk with the staff sometimes. Good Bar and Menue. Helpful with the Tours to Angkor.

Greate location, staff and atmosphere! I absolutely loved the bar and pool area, perfect place to hang out and meet other travelers :)

The pool really made it, the rooms with air con were like a fan room as air could come in from outside and dogs barking from across the road at all hours made it impossible to get a good night's sleep. However, the food was really good, the hostel was very sociable and the pool was what you needed in that kind of heat.

Owner Comment (Hide)
The dogs across the road can be a problem at night, but they are very often disturbed at all hours by our own guests partying at the bar, and skinny-dipping in the pool at all hours. So it is a little difficult for me to complain I'm afraid, considering the circumstances- I'm sorry.

The Downtown Siem Reap was my favorite of any hostel I've been to. The man who runs it is very friendly and super helpful. He's very knowledgeable about how to get around, and he helped me plan the next leg of my jouney. Of course I have to say, the pool they have there is a HUGE perk. It, as well as everything else at the DT Siem Reap, is kept extremely clean. I met a guy there who was soon to become the new bartender, and he will make a great addition to the environment. 10/10 for me

Great hostel! The dorms are really nice with aircon. The staff is really friendly and tries to help you as best as the can. And of course the swimming pool is awesome.

If you are going to book a room here make sure it's an air con room as the fan dorms get very hot! Excellent location. We waited an hour for food but was very nice.

Positives: The central location, the food, comfy bed and big swimming pool were the highlights. The breakfasts taste just like they do at home. High pressure hot water showers, bar area next to the pool and knowledgable staff (although wasn't easy to find them sometimes). Negatives: they often seemed understaffed. It took 3 hours to get sheets on our bed when we checked in at 2pm. We kept windows closed all day but due to unsealed areas in the room a LOT of bugs got in. Room not cleaned often.

If you're not going to use the pool, don't stay here. The pool makes up for a lot of things. It's a very nice pool.

The price was ideal however do not stay there unless you have aircon. I am comfortable in tropical weather and I sweat through the night without sleeping. Also, i dont believe my sheets were freshly laundered before i took over the bed. The bugs are bad in the fan rooms as well. The pool is great as well as the food. Electrical outlets are hard to come by in the dorm rooms. Great water pressure in the showers, bathrooms cleaned regularly. My biggest complaint would be the bugs & sheets.

This place is great. So close to everything. 75cent beers and the pool is fantastic. Much needed after a sweaty day at the temples.

The place is nice, but the owner ripped us off. We had a mixup with our reservation and he took advantage of that situation to charge us more money. The reservation system is a joke and very sketchy. The pool is great to be honest, but don't waste your time making a reservation, we saw people being bounced because they hadn't "confirmed" the reservation, when actually no confirmation is requested.

Beautiful swimming pool. Owner Mark very helpful, and his staff are more than accommodating. Nice location 5 minutes walk away from pub street in more quiet area. Tours can be booked from hostel. Thankyou for a great stay!

Great place, great staff, mark the owner is awesome, couldn't recommend this place more! Book up guys!!

Sorry, but what a rip off. They charge you 5 Dollars PER day for the AC, on top of what you pay for the room! On here, they only say "AC not included". I had no idea it was 5 Dollars a day! You can run your AC on full speed 24/7 in Europe or in the U.S. and you'll pay 2-3 bucks. And this is Cambodia. They even turned off the AC several times even though I paid an outrageously high fee for it. WTF? Absolutely ridiculous Would NOT recommend this Hostel..

One of the best places we stayed at.. So good atmosphere, and the pool was awesome. And the owner Mark is so nice, Very helpful and maybe willing to show you the salmon dive if you're lucky! If you're going to Siem Reap then this is the place to be!
