Siem Reap Pub Hostel is the place for travellers who want to be in the middle of things on a budget. It sits in downtown Siem Reap, a two-minute walk from Pub Street, the Old Market and the Angkor Night Market, so dinner, drinks and shopping are all on the doorstep. Despite the price, it has a pool with sun loungers, a poolside bar, a pool table and a restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus a coffee shop and a garden. The property offers eight room types, from dormitories of four, six or twelve beds to double, twin, triple and family rooms, so solo travellers, friends and families can all find a fit. Rooms have free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, safes and daily housekeeping, and the front desk can arrange luggage storage, concierge services and bike hire. Guests rate it well for its location and atmosphere, and it is a good choice if you want to meet other travellers.
Location and getting around
The main sights of the town centre are within a two-minute walk, so you rarely need a tuk-tuk in the evenings. The Angkor temples are a short ride away, and the hostel can help with drivers and tours. The airport is about an hour by road, and a shuttle is available on request within set hours for a small fee.
Rooms and facilities
Dorm beds suit solo travellers on a tight budget, while private doubles, twins and family rooms give more space. Air conditioning is a welcome feature in the hot months. There is no parking on site, and pets are not allowed. Check-in is from the afternoon and check-out at noon.
Who it suits
Backpackers, younger travellers and anyone who values social energy and a central location over quiet. It is a great pick for solo visitors who want to share tuk-tuks and temple days with new friends.
Good to know
The hostel is in the nightlife area, so expect some noise in the evenings. Pack earplugs if you are a light sleeper, and ask for a room away from the street. Sunrise tours leave very early, so let reception know your plans. Book dorm beds early in the dry season, and look at the Pub Street crawl or the food tour for easy ways to meet other guests.
Nearby and what to do
You are surrounded by cafes, bars, massage shops and the Angkor Night Market, and the Old Market is a good place for breakfast and cheap local dishes. The hostel is a convenient starting point for tuk-tuk temple tours, which are cheaper when shared, and a pool afternoon between temple mornings is an easy way to meet other guests. For a night out, the Pub Street walking tour and the Phare circus are both close by.
