About

Some cities make you think. Phnom Penh makes you feel. One minute you're exploring grand palaces, bustling markets, and stories that shaped a nation, the next you're sipping sunset beers by the river before the city shifts into full nightlife mode. It's a place of contrasts, and there's no better way to experience it than with a crew that's just as keen to dive into it all.

Join us at the bar for The Meet Up every night at 7pm, with 50% off beers and plenty of new faces. Come alone, leave together. Whether you're taking on Beer Olympics every Wednesday, hitting one of our Monday or Thursday Pub Crawls, or recovering at our legendary Saturday Pool Party & BBQ before the Neon After Party, there's always something pulling everyone together. As Phnom Penh's dedicated party hostel, our packed events calendar, social atmosphere, and Guest Experience team make us the go-to spot for travellers looking to experience the city's best nights with new mates.

When it's time to explore beyond the bar, we've got Cambodia's capital covered. Visit the powerful S21 Prison & Killing Fields, jump on a bike and boat adventure, or let our team point you towards Phnom Penh's hidden gems and local favourites. Book everything through our travel desk and leave the planning to us.

Step outside and you'll find yourself surrounded by the cafés, restaurants, bars, and boutiques of BKK1, with the Royal Palace, National Museum, Independence Monument, and Riverside all within easy reach. After a day exploring and a night well spent, head back to our air-conditioned dorms or private rooms, close the privacy curtains, and recharge before someone you met three hours ago convinces you to go out again. Remember if you book directly, you get additional free nights and loyalty perks.

This hostel delivered big time! The second I arrived, the staff were so welcoming, friendly and wanted to ensure I had a good stay. The facilities were excellent and it was immaculately clean and tidy. It wasn't too busy, but there was a nice social atmosphere and we had a really fun pub crawl. The food was good and I honestly can't think of a single negative. Special shout out to Malis, Rax and Tra for being amazing 10/10! Nothing was too much trouble and I will definitely be coming back!

A great place to stay, lots of amenities and the bar/restaurant is nice. There is a lot going on every night (it can be a bit loud). I went for a private room though so that was fine.
