The food here is delicious. We come everyday and we will continue to do so until we leave next week. Marinated chicken is incredible as are the chicken tenders. You also have to try the fried noodles.
Good prices and friendly staff. Good wifi.

Best food on Saracen Bay

Really cool spot in Sihanoukville. Great space to hang out and meet new people, good music, good food, cheap drinks. Helpful and attentive staff (especially Matt Damon). Highly recommend spending a couple nights.

Definitely worth a stay

Good vibe, social area and cheap drinks. Also has a pool table for those who are looking. Sadly let down by the major construction going on in the town! Offers free WiFi however I had difficulty using it

Nice atmosphere for a bad town

DO NOT COMPLAIN.
This place is the mirror of the country and of the holiday I’m assuming you are going for.
It’s a basic place where you can spend a night that’s it. If you are looking for a 5 stars hotel simply don’t go there.
Rooms are not amazingly clean water is often missing exactly as in the whole country.
The restaurant it’s absolutely fantastic,food is cheap and good.
Music is great, so leave the bad review aside.
If you want to experience the real Cambodia that’s the place to go to spend a night.

You get what you pay for.

Here is a quick summary for those who don't have the time to read the full review.

"SUMMARY - The Big Easy Hostal is a rip off. We paid $35 for a private hot box with no ventilation. Sleep was next to impossible, customer service was appalling, WiFi didn't work, water pressure in the shower was terrible and sometimes didn't work at all, no towels, toiletries, lots of mozzeys and no net, crappy fans, bathroom smelt like drains. Average food. Club next door goes on to the early hours and the rooms vibrate with bass it's so close and loud. I would have got more sleep by sleeping on the street. Read the full review for the details"

Cambodia can't resist pulling out pants down. After traveling Thialand, Laos, and Vietnam already we have had nothing put positive experience. We've stayed in some really beautiful places and also some great party hostals. Ease be assured that the Big Easy Hostal is niether of these.

We booked a private room for one night and thank God we only had to stay for one night. After checking in and paying up front, we were shown to our room. To say the room was hot is an understatement. It was actually so unbearably hot we were drenched in sweat after 5 minutes. The problem is that the room is located on a compound that receives no breeze and the one window in the room is never opened for very long as it's right next to the toilets that service the bar. The air was so thick it almost chokes you. 

So we decided to take a shower and get the hell out of there hoping that it would cool down in the evening. After spending ten minutes trying to get wet in the shower due to the shocking water pressure (sometimes it would reduce to zero) we were still pretty salty.  As to add to the insult - no towels, no toiletries and the bathroom stinks of sewage. Great.

We decided to check the booking confirmation to see what was included in the rate because this is extremely basic. Great - the WiFi has no internet access.

Let's get out of here - to the bar!

Before ordering drinks I asked about the WiFi and got a couldn't care less response. "Yeh it doesn't really work in the rooms, sorry, best staying in the bar"

Well at least the drinks are cheap. We ordered the wine and beer which were on happy hour which went down very quickly. Round two please!!

"I'm sorry but we don't have the happy hour wine, only the more expensive wine. Like the one you had before". Great - pants pulled down again. 

At this point we are past caring. 

After passing the time with some food (food was ok), and lots more drinks we tried to get some sleep as the temperature outside had reduced considerable. 

But oh no - our room was still a complete hot box. The fans were useless - I did complain and asked for another fan but again got a don't really care response and there's nothing we can do. 

So we resorted to having to try and squeeze some cold water out of the shower and then lye on the bed to dry off under the fan, wait half an hour for it to become too hot, then repeat the process.

This went on until 6am. I even tried to get some sleep in the bar on a hard bench after it closed as it was much cooler in there. But was getting water alive by the various blood suckers.

So back to the hot box. Which was actually made worse by the booming bass from the club next door. The whole room vibrates at times.

I drifted off about 6am (it was half 5 last time I checked phone) only to get woken up by someone half an hour later banging on our door looking for someone. 

To make it all worse - we had paid $35 for the privalige of staying the this hell hole. Which is a considerable amount more than what we have paid for previous places where we have experienced much nicer rooms, better staff, air con and breakfast included. This place is and absolute joke and complete rip off. Your better off sleeping on the street - and I really mean that.

Ripped off in Cambodia again

nothing can compensate for brutal rudeness from front desk towards us. therefore, minimum rating. we got no reason to support this. most people staying in dorms here didn’t enjoy their stay either. sadly there are not many other options close by
