The Siem Reap Chilled Backpacker Reviews

Great atmosphere, decent cleanliness, and it has a pool. The location is super convenient, right in the city center and close to the bar street. It's a pretty popular hostel, so it's best to book a few days in advance.

A solid budget hostel with a relaxed social vibe, good for meeting people and saving money — but expect inconsistent cleanliness and basic facilities.

Nice place in seim reab city and the room is clean Cheap price and receptionists is friendly and welcoming.

The cheapest option for staying in Siem Reap. This hostel offers the best deal in terms of price and quality. Its location is close to the main road, making it easy to find on Google Maps. I only planned to stay one night, but ended up staying for almost a week. Perfect for budget backpackers.

Overall, it was not a good experience. The room equipment was outdated, and the air conditioner wasn’t working. Despite this, the staff did not offer to change my room. I had booked a room on the first floor but was instead given one on the third. The staff were rude and difficult to communicate with, and there was no one available at night. Additionally, the hotel entrance remained open 24/7 without any security, which made it feel unsafe.

This hostel is located in the center of Siem Reap, just a 5–7 minute walk from Pub Street and the night market. There are plenty of convenience stores, affordable restaurants, and tuk-tuk stops nearby. It's also a very practical starting point for Angkor Wat tours. Atmosphere and Vibe: As its name suggests, it offers a relaxed and social environment. The common areas feature hammocks, board games, and a small bar. In the evenings, travelers gather and chat, creating a great opportunity for solo travelers to socialize. The noise level is moderate; it's fun but not overly party-focused. Rooms and Cleanliness: - Dorm rooms are spacious, beds are separated by curtains, and each bed has a personal power outlet and light. - Lockers are provided for security, which is sufficient. - Shared bathrooms are regularly cleaned, and hot water is available. - Both air conditioning and fans are available; AC rooms are more comfortable during the hot season. Services: - The reception is open 24 hours, the staff are friendly and helpful with tour bookings. - Free Wi-Fi is strong in common areas but can sometimes be weak in the rooms. - Bicycle and scooter rentals are available. - Affordable breakfast and drink options are offered. Value for Money: It's very suitable for budget travelers. Considering the location, services, and social environment, you definitely get more than your money's worth. Pros: - Central location - Social and relaxed atmosphere - Clean rooms and secure lockers - Helpful staff Cons: - Dorms can get crowded during peak season - Wi-Fi is weak in the rooms - Can be a bit noisy in the common areas in the evenings

As I entered the room, I was greeted by a bad smell. The air conditioner was also very weak, so the room never got cold enough. The bed was soft, but it felt very itchy. By my third night, I asked to have the beddings changed, but even after that, I still didn’t feel comfortable sleeping. It felt like there might have been bed bugs or something in the bedding that was causing the itchiness. The room also smelled dusty when I first arrived, which made it feel like it hadn’t been properly aired out or cleaned. On a positive note, the staff were very accommodating and friendly. The food was also good, and the prices were very reasonable.

Very clean and comfortable! The air conditioning in the room works great, and there's a convenience store and supermarket nearby, which is really handy.

It was exactly what you'd expect from a budget hotel – nothing special, neither good nor bad. There was an initial mix-up where I was shown to a very basic room, seemingly just a bed. However, once I pointed it out, they corrected the issue and assigned me the room I had originally booked.

It’s okay for solo or family trip

The location si nice, you have many restaurants nearby, you can also enjoy a small swimmingpool but enought to take a fresh bath. They let us to drop off our baggage till night after check out You can book many differents tour with them, bike, buses ... At night you have a pub to grab some beer or dinner, i hardly recommend this hostel .

The hostel staff were friendly and the room is decent for what you pay for. The bathroom was clean-ish but there was hair from the drain left on the floor for 2 days and wasn’t cleaned. There were a fair few mosquitos and the room was very hot despite their being air conditioning. We used the laundry service and the clothes didn’t come out the cleanest and weren’t ready even after it being 24 hours. The pool was nice and there was a nice area near the bar to sit in.

The shared rooms are not clean. The beds are dusty, the sheets are dirty, and the bathrooms aren't clean either. There are cobwebs, and it doesn't seem like they have regular cleaning. The beds aren't comfortable either, as the mattresses are worn out and it feels like you're sleeping on a wooden plank.

This is the first hostel I've stayed at that didn't provide towels, but they did have shampoo… at least small hand towels would be nice… and maybe clean the dust and dirt a bit better… also, try to smile more at the front desk… you are working with people, even if it's the cheapest segment… but on the bright side, it's the most budget-friendly price, only 217 rubles/night. The power outlet by the bed didn't work, which is very important these days… so I had to switch beds. For this price, it's great, but I wish it felt a little cozier 🙏 I couldn't find the pool either..
