About

A pool, a garden bar and a proper night's sleep, in center Phnom Penh.

Swim in the pool, unwind in the garden, grab a meal at our restaurant or a drink at the bar.
Need to get some work done? We have a garden working space with plugs and fast wifi.

We're not a party hostel, but you won't feel alone.
We host activities like sketching and singing, so it's easy to meet people, and easy to switch off when you want to sleep.

Our approach to sustainability:

THE PLACE Hostel Phnom Penh offers a friendly vibe with exceptionally helpful staff and a great location. Guests appreciate the clean rooms and comfortable beds. Some recent feedback mentions issues with cleanliness in bathrooms and the pool, and a lack of social atmosphere.

The mosquitos at this hostel are worse than anywhere I’ve been in SE Asia, and it’s definitely not an issue in other parts of Phnom Penh. I’m talking step outside and SWARMS around you in seconds. Someone is going to get a mosquito-borne illness here. Surely they could spray or invest in other deterrents. The beds are a little uncomfortable, but that could just be a preference. Otherwise the hostel is clean and felt safe. Staff is very nice and helpful.
