Provider-sourced guest reviews.
l'hôtel était fermé et ceci depuis 3 mous selon les voisins alors que j'avais reçu un email de confirmation. Qu'elle surprise désagréable d'autant que j'arrivais tard le soir !!! J'espère que ça n'arrivera plus car ça met un doute sur la fiabilité de ce site que j'utilise toujours lors de mes voyages.
Hostel does not exist! Scam!!!
Nothing
They sent me a message to welcome and when I arrived i seen its closed and for sale
THE HOSTEL DOES NOT EXIST
The best I could find near the port. Nice vibe and I had a good rest
The rooms deserve a little renewal
A perfect hostel! Location, cleanliness, the bar and all the staff very attentive and friendly.
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.
Soap for washing your hands would be nice
very comfortable double room. I was a little sick here so was a good place to get my head down for couple days. staff very helpful and there's an easy breakfast to be had here. excellent coffee next door. Laundry came same day and smelt great !
no complaints
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.
Check out time was a bit earlier than standard.
Good location to the pier and surrounding restaurants. Nice staff. Budget friendly.
The bed sheet didn’t seem so clean, like they’d already been slept in. Some guy in the room came in at 2am and showered, switched lights on etc but that’s a hostel for you I suppose!
Nice place to stay before heading to the islands, air conditioning worked well
Not the hostels fault, but there is not a lot to do
Great location
Outside seating area, excellent pool table
Very close to the ferry terminal, really helpful and friendly staff, great price and facilities.
Nothing
Location next to ferry port. Price is excellent. Staff was friendly and helpful.
Bed was shaky. Not enough toilets/showers. The electric switch was located in another compartment.
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.
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.
Comfy bunk beds. Clean showers. AC cooled rooms WITH individual fans. Privacy curtains. Good WiFi. 5 mins walk to ferry to Koh Rong
Personal was amazing!
I didnt like the blankets that much, although it wasnt in the way of getting a good sleep.
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!
no
Good playlist and vibes. Perfect location!
Everyone about the pace was exemplary.. the owner Alex is a legend,the receptionist (sofia) is the sweetest person you can come across and the location couldn't have been in a better place.
Probably the food
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
synthetic bedding is unpleasant and bad for the environment. It's a very personal question of principle...
Good location, helpful staff, good value
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.
Great location for ferry to Koh Rong Cheap rooms Very friendly and welcoming staff Free beer token on arrival!
Nothing!
perfect location - nice balcony view and very close to the ferry station it was clean, the shower water was hot and the staff was friendly.
Cheap, cheerful and safe for female travellers. Dorm door locked and there was lockable lockers available in the room.

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.
Great welcome. Clean room and comfortable beds. Free welcome beer. Close to the pier and not far from the train station. Highly recommend!
Great location you can walk to the pier to get your ferry, very good value for money with amazing staff.
Very friendly staff and everything was clean
A hostel in sihanoukville can’t get much better than this. Tom is such a nice guy, creating a beautiful and entertained ambience. The dorms are cool and well equipped, and the hostel is close from the piers where the boats to the islands arrive and leave.
9.5/10 because IMO one single bathroom for the dorm could get a little busy at times.
great place close to the ferry port

Best value in town. Stay there is you stay in Sihanoukville.
Excellent location, friendly helpful staff, and very clean.
Everything was nice
Good people
The place is in a good location and it is easy to get to the port for a very reasonable price
We arrived and our room wasn’t ready as our booking had been messed up the host was intoxicated and unprofessional this could’ve been fine but the fact that we came hours later and he’d forgotten to get our room sorted even hours later. We were then put into a room while the beds and sheets were frantically changed. The bunk bed was pretty unstable and probably quite dangerous. I’ve never been one to leave a negative review but I think it’s definitely worth noting if you’re planning on travelling.
Nice place! Good location
The last piece of backpacker culture remaining on mainland Sihanoukville. Awesome staff. Brand new and therefore spotlessly clean.
It's $4. No complaints now come on.
Very good value for the price! Even got a free voucher for 1 beer per person. You can rent a towel for free. Close to the port in case you want to go to the islands. Great staff!
Nothing, great hostel.
Amazing places. Nice place and good location. Very clean and comfortable. The Staff is very nice too. Thanks Alex.
Nice people, really helpfull. Good structure, good position. Great! You will come back :)
- comfy beds - perfect location for ferry - lovely staff and helpful
Great and helpful staff! Great value for price
It had a family feel to the place, and everyone was very welcoming and made you feel at home. They have a pool table, dart board, and a great bar. My dorm room had a balcony with a hammock to relax and watch the world go by. It's only a 10 minute walk from the ferry port.
Maybe a few tours could be advertised for people who want to see outside of Sihanoukville.
convenient location - walking distance to the speed boats
no real beach access
So close to the boat for Koh rong and I loved the vibe there it was very nice and relaxed. Good music and the beer and food was awesome. Thanks for everything guys. See you again when inegt back from the island! Harry
Great Location, Security happily looked after my bicycle without any notice given, had a ride around the area, saw the monkeys, Victory Monument, visited a temple and relaxed on the beach. Next time I am staying longer :) Good food and a nice place to chill for sure, highly recommended
The food was great and the staff are very good!
Love this place, very friendly and helpful people.
I miss bus coming from island so I need hostel and they very great staff and made me feel welcome and help me make bus for morning. Netflix was best lol Thank You. Merci beaucoup ❤️
Walking distance to the ferry and railway station Super friendly and knowledgeable staff
Leaving, another 2 nights would have been nice.
