The room was quite budget friendly at $15 per night but far from the cheapest in Phnom Penh. The Aircon in the room was essentially non functioning, so they switched me to a room with a better one which worked well. Bed was okay, shower head was pretty poor and toilet was struggling to flush properly.

Would stay here for a night or two on a budget if you could guarantee the Aircon worked. If you get the room with the bad Aircon your room will be about as hot as outside thanks to a large window facing the sun. 

Not bad if you get a working AC

Of course there are minor problems such as my room lacking AC but fans were put in my room to compensate for that. Most importantly is the super friendly family, if English isn’t spoken then an English speaking staff member will ensure you get the help you need. Less busy than other hostels in town and worth it not only for the price but also for the sheer hospitality and genuine niceties provided by the family. Also this is family run and putting money into family business beats paying some pestering tour company “hostel” I honestly cannot recommend this enough based on my experience here.

After years of travelling around Asia, quite possibly the most genuine and friendly hostel I have encountered

I can’t tell you how rude the staff are, the worst we have encountered whilst travelling for a year. The lady with the baby is lovely, however you don’t see much of her. 
The cleaner is horrendous, the rooms are not clean and we had to ask them to change the sheets as it looked as though someone had rubbed there nose on it.
Good location, but felt very uncomfortable because of the staff.
If you want any sort of service or welcome, I would highly recommend staying elsewhere.

Cheap stay but RUDEST staff member

B52 was definitely a home away from home for our stay in Phnom Penh. Although the food is incredibly tasty and well priced, and the cocktails are awesome (and $1.75 during happy 4 hours), our stay was made by staff member "G1." She was super friendly, helpful, and inquisitive; asking about our travels, talking about life, and even warning us to hold onto our bags as we set off on an adventure. A friend and a mum in one package, it was great to have her as a constant companion in a city so foreign to us. 
"G1" if you're reading this, we'll see you next time!

Highlight of Phnom Penh

Very nice hostel, friendly staff and comfortable and clean rooms. The food in the hostel eatery is very good for fair prices. Because the hostel is in the central area you can visit a lot of things by foot.  I would surely come back !

Good hostel

This hostel was great value for money, very cheap for a private room with breakfast included (and it's a good breakfast) with really lovely staff! Great location also. The only negative would be that they had some plumbing issues I think. Otherwise a lovely stay
