Velkommen Backpackers Reviews

Best hostel in my trip. Fantastic staff and great location. Thanks so much!

Great hostel with incredibly helpful and knowledgeable staff!! I'm heading back to Phnom Penh today and ill be staying here again! 100%

The proprietor is great, she was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. My room didn't have a window, but the bathroom was ensuite and very clean, and the A/C worked well.

Great location, friends staff, comfortable bed, and great AC :) I would stay here again, the hostel had a great vibe to it along with a nice common area.

room moldy smelling. wifi only in common area.

Rooms are clean and spacious, good location being almost right on the waterfront. Staying there recently during low season the hostel seemed close to empty but still met some people while hanging out in their common area downstairs.

We stayed in a double room on the ground floor. The room has no window and the smell of it and the corridor is just unbreathable. There is a door in the room and we opened it just to know what's there. It was an old bathroom full of insects dead and alive... The door of the room was not a proper door but more a "separation" window, so the room is never completely dark and very noisy as there is a bar on the same floor. In addition, I think that you can open the door without the key...

There is smell from drain near the bathrooms, beacause that it was impossible to stay in "private bathroom room". Mostly of rooms have not windows. They sell the "boat trip" to vietnam, it was really a pack of lies, i didn t like it, anyway, is the same pack that is offer for all companies.

This should be the best hostel that I have even experienced. The localion is good close to the river and have a lot of bars nearby as well as the market. The staff is great after check in they bring me outside to the market for local cheap food and her pay the bill. Airconditon works in 8 beds room which is definately needs if you go cambodia. Definately will stay there again if go Phnom penth next time

The 8 bed dorm room as nice and airy, enough space for your things and to move about. The air con was lovely but leaked on my 4th night causing a huge puddle and although I reported this to the night guard as I checked out early in the morning, I hear from fellow travellers still there that they did not bother to fix! All in all though a great place for the money and cracking location.

The hostel was ok. Very good location. Dorms ok for 6 $. Clean. But the staff but so helpful. Only one girl in the bar was kind.

Stayed in airconditioned dorm which was spacious and clean. Nice atmosphere downstairs and good location.

We're a couple. We took one look at the room and were not happy. Straight up just stay at the one across the road (Velkommen Guesthouse). The Englishman who runs it was helpful in accommodating us, to be honest he didn't seem surprised or phased by our feedback at all. Short walk to Mekong, Palace and night spots..

Great location. Clean and friendly atmosphere. Stayed two nights longer than originally planned however, the first night I stayed in a private room with a fan, no window, and no A/C. This was a bad decision as it was very hot and stuffy in the room at all times. Switched to a dorm room with A/C and it was a much better nights sleep. Would stay again but only in a room with A/C. Cheers!

Good location close to lots of delicious places to eat and close to the river. The room was pretty basic but the air conditioning didn't work and we were REALLY hot that night. The fan worked but it just wasn't enough. Nice staff, basic hostel. Internet only works in the lobby area but at least its free! I would stay there again.

I stayed in a four-person room, and I did not have any major issues. It is pretty standard as far as hostels go. The room was very basic, but clean and the AC worked well. It would have been nice to have a safe in the room. The staff are friendly, helpful, and laid back. The hostel's location is the best - you are on the river, and a short walk from the Palace.

This is the worst hostel that i ever stayed. The place was terribly dirty and rooms very bad: first night we got room without air conditioner, without a window and even without ventilation, and fan was not working. After the shower the room became like sauna-hot and wet. At night i was going out to corridor just to breath. Next day we got a room on the ground-floor with AC but it had mould on the walls and at night i was waken up by huge cockroach waling on my face.

The location of this hostel couldn't be better. didn't need to take a tuk tuk once. Bedroom (8-bed dorm) was very clean and comfortable and had AC at night. However, each time I needed to use the sink or toilet I had to wait as nearly half of them were without water and/or electricity. Very frustrating. I would stay again if not for the bathroom situation. Not a party hostel but nice chill people to meet.

The dorm at the top floor is a sauna! Avoid it! But the hostel has a great location and the staff are very helpful!

Friendly/helpful staff, relaxed vibe and fabulous location.
