While this is one of the backpacker favourites in Kratie, the rooms here really are pretty poor, and the You Hong Guesthouse around the other side of the market is far better value. For eating, meeting and general travel information however, the Star is an excellent spot, with an astounding range of very good food and ice cold beers. Run by a bunch of young Khmers under the watchful eye of British Martin, this is a fun place to relax for an afternoon and pick up some travelling tips.

Cheap and cheerful - 5th May, 2009
Ideal for a short stoppover, but that's probably about all. Rooms are $5, and they're pretty basic,but clean. The star looks out onto the market, and they start setting up about 4am, the noise is a real problem. The restaurant and bar downstairs are great, an excellent choice of quality food and drinks, with the market in full swing, there's a nice bustling atmosphere. Staff at the star are brilliant, really friendly and approachable. The young guy who seemed to be in charge of the show, spoke fantastic english, and he was a really charming host. I'd definitely recommend popping in for a beer or some dinner, even if you don't stay at the star.
