    Soap for washing your hands would be nice

    For the price you’re paying for a dorm bed it’s perfect. Clean enough, quiet enough and close to the ferry. AC at night.

    Check out time was a bit earlier than standard.

    Just delightful. The staff was friendly and shared interesting local facts. A staff driver helped me go to town and find items I needed. The Hostel main floor is arranged in a way that makes it fun to meet other guests. They even held a bag for me in a locked room while I visited an island, and I collected it safely the next week.

    Breakfast could be better. The lockers in the Room are quite small - no way you could fit a Travel Backpack inside. The Beds are quite squeaky and loud, so if someone gets up at night, then so is everyone else.

    Super friendly Personal! You get a beer when you arrive *_* Great „bang-for-buck“. It’s directly at the Port and at the Sea. There is the opportunity for luggage storage. If you go to Koh Rong for example for a Trip.

    I am writing this review on the train to Phnom Penh. When I arrived in Sihanoukville,I found this hostel not far from where I got off the bus,so I chose to stay here. The hostel is very close to the beach. Standing on the balcony on the 3rd floor,you can see the sea. There are also some entertainment facilities on the first floor,we can rest here. I stayed here for 2 days,feeling great!

    synthetic bedding is unpleasant and bad for the environment. It's a very personal question of principle...

    the willingness to help and the kindness of all the staff and the owners the location is super, close to the boat port for the islands and the train station

    The best price for the best location. They are a new hostel so everything is new and clean. The beds are brand new and bathrooms, etc. The location sits up a hill overlooking the ocean and so it gets a cold breeze which cools everything down. There is also air conditioning. Ferry terminal port and train station and the entire downtown is within walking distance. They sell tickets for boat and bus to any destination. This is a good stop over point to take a break.

    Probably the best location for value. I paid a little less than the normal dorm bed rate for Cambodia and everything was perfect. I arrived by train and took the boat service to the island the next day. It was an easy walk from the train to the hostel and then to the port for the boat. Everything is central to the hostel. It looks out over the water and the name is accurate, there is a view of the island. If you want a swimming pool, then I suppose that you can go next door. Otherwise, everything is provided at Island View Hostel.
