Nothing

We booked this property about 1 hours before arriving and Vanny and his wife already had the room ready and were awaiting our arrival. Vanny and his wife are amazing, very welcoming, hospitable and helpful. The rooms are great although can get quite hot but there are fans. The bathrooms are well equipped. Also there is a small kitchenette. Location is great for cafes, food and Russian Market.

The hosts showed me how hospitable and friendly Cambodians are. Vanny's guesthouse is truly a home away from home.

They should improve cleanliness a little bit. The common areas was not so clean and bathroom would need improvement. Smell is coming from the toilet and leaks water.

The apartement is a very good value for money. The neighborhood is full with restaurants, cafés and street food. Russian market is in walking distance. For the night market and royal palace you have to take tuktuk. The owners are really nice and they have a small shop downstairs. For this price in the city center was perfect. You can use water kettle, toast maker and mugs, plates from kitchen. The washing machine didn't worked while we were there.

Good for money you pay. We got room upstairs, last floor. Fan was too strong and too close to the bed. Anything else was good

The stairs are a bit steep. But no problem at all for this 70 year old!

The owner, his wife and his daughters were really friendly and accommodating. The guesthouse is good value for money. I highly recommend this place. I enjoyed it so much that I booked a few extre days!!

Hot water missing but you don’t really need it here :)

Very nice and friendly family. Clean room, fan works, calm street and nice neighborhood (looks like there are a lot of expats around). Very good ratio price/accomodation

No windows (only small one to see internal staircase) and smell of old furnitures in the room.

For the money it was fine.

Really nice staff

Stayed in August 2022

Not very clean, bidet was dripping constantly so the floor was permanently wet at the entrance to the bathroom. There are sandal in there but they look like they’ve never been cleaned. There was no hot water. Skinny cheap metal spiral staircase. I have no clue how a suitcase gets up them. It was hard enough with my backpack. Not really much around to do but grabs are cheap. The beds were entirely metal and made lots of noise when you moved. The curtain let through so much light. I had to put both towels over the rail to block it out. The place is very run down. There are passive aggressive signs everywhere. The free water has a off taste. The light switch to my room was faulty and honestly a fire risk. Staff was hot and cold with attitude.

There was a bed, it was cheap

No hot shower, nylon matras cover, small piece of sheet, small fleece blanket. Feeling trapped in metal cage on top floor with no possible way out in case of fire. Unpleasant metal staircases. We left a day earlier.

Location was good, staff was friendly, matrass was good

We climed up 2 floors up and then we climed back down another 1 and a half floor to reach our room. The bathroom floor was very dirty. The toilet flush was leaking water on the bathroom floor. Our bedroom was surrounded by toilets and drain pipes(sipe). The owners were insisting not to give us 2 toilet paper rolls so we had to move the roll from bathroom to bedroom, from bedroom to bathroom all the time. WiFi worked only 1 night, next day some problem happened, they said they will fix it but they never did. They said to go upstairs to the common room to use the WiFi there (where the guests can smoke next door and you get all the smoke because there is no partition.) One of the 2 cups they keep in the room was old and broken. In the common kitchen area the only functioning thing was 1 kettle, the rest was decorative. Stove was there but there was not gas. Pots were there but dirty.

Friendly, smiley owners. The location was close to the all sorts of touristic places you may want to visit. It was in a quiet neighbourhood. It was the cheapest place we found with AC. Room was an Ok Ok clean and bedsheets were clean.

On the downside, the room initially had a bit of an unpleasant smell, but after requesting a change of bed sheets, the situation improved. The room itself felt old and could use some refurbishment. While the shared bathroom was very clean, its small size and low ceiling made it challenging to use comfortably. Additionally, the Wi-Fi was unstable and disconnected frequently, although the owner made efforts to fix it. The pillows were not very comfortable, which slightly affected the overall experience.

The location of the hostel was good, not exactly in the center but accessible within a 20-minute walk. The surrounding neighborhood was vibrant and energetic, with plenty of restaurants and cafes just a few steps away, making it a pleasure to explore. The owner was extremely polite and welcoming, communicated well, and was always ready to assist. The hostel also featured a nice terrace, perfect for relaxing and socializing with other guests. Free drinking water was also provided.

Our room had a window, but only to inside the building, so it was actually darker when we woke up in the morning than when we went to bed (when someone had a light on). The curtains right next to the bed are greasy as are the walls and the door of the room and the narrow hallway. So it's not exactly the place to spend much time and relax, it's okay for sleeping and it's of course not expensive.

The location of the guesthouse is really good. It's in a quiet small street in a very good neighbourhood, there is an amazing garden cafe right at the other side of the road. You can walk to the main sights in town in under 30 minutes. The room was big enough and it was always quiet.

The shower's water pressure is quite low, and at times, there is no water flow at all. Also the bed lacks comfort.

The guesthouse owner couple are incredibly warm and welcoming, making it easy for you to get the information you need about neighbourhood and Phnom Penh.

Those who expect fancy rooms and extremely comfortable conditions should try to find another place.

Location near the city centre. Low price. Very friendly and helpful host and his family. Free drinking water. Worth its value compared to the competitors.

Stayed in April 2024

The room had no windows and the AC is only operable if you pay an additional fee per night.

Value for money. We got a big bed and a room with the jug and a refrigerator.

Stopped here before booking says 2 dollars for air con but 4 dollars at the place no proper lock on door uses a padlock could do with spending some money to upgrade rooms could use some proper cups for tea or coffee has the glass burns your fingers

Very friendly host wifi good bed comfortable good location

Stayed in April 2024

The staircase to access the rooms was too narrow and small. The fact that there was no AC in the room made it very hot and uncomfortable condition and also too many mosquitoes flying around.

I liked the room and bed was comfortable.

The kettle was to floors down alot of stairs

Beds were comfortable wifi was OK hot shower the hosts were friendly and cheerful

We had booked a private room, however there was hardly any privacy as one could hear the other rooms. We ended up not staying, but had paid all the money.

The hosts were amazing, and location for the given cost was apt.

Stayed in December 2023

Got only one towel for two persons. Room was a bit outdated and DIY.

Good location in a less busy part of town, closely located to some tourist spots. Host was sweet and let us check in after hours, and offer water and bananas. Communal areas okay and well maintained

Stayed in December 2023

The room had no windows and was stuffed away in a narrow, stooped hallway. The door was locked with a padlock, which makes me question fire safety. The shared bathroom was a toilet of 1 x 0,5 meter with a showerhead. It was not clean with mold everywhere.

The location was good, with many places to eat and bars within walking distance. The hosts were friendly. The facilities were as you might expect them to be for your money. Overall fine for budget travellers.
