Top Banana Guesthouse

Cheap, Basic, Backpackerville - 7th May, 2010
Located in a good area with lots of restaurants and cafes around. The rooms were everything you would expect for the price - clean and basic, no frills. Place has a good atmosphere if you are looking to meet other backpackers and has a common area where there are usually people hanging around. The rooms off the common area may be noisy. We paid $13US for a twin with AC in April 2010

Good Value - 25th November, 2009
Stayed in a double room which was spacious and clean and good value at $7. The location was good, the streets are jam packed with restaurants and expats so you have to search a bit for a cheap bite! Head up to Independence Monument in the evening to see how some local famililes spend their time. When we stayed at Top Banana there were a lot of long term guests which does create a bit of a cliquey atmosphere up on the roof terrace but there is so much to do in Phnom Penh we didn't spend much time there anyway.

Basic but clean - 12th June, 2008
We stayed in a double air con room which was really big - it actually had two double beds, it was basic but clean. The only problem was that it was on the second floor so we were away from everyone else and in order to get to the room you had to climb the stairs to the third floor and then walk back down another flight on the other side of the building. The rooftop terrace was really lovely though the crowd was a bit cliquey.

Great room, vibe not so much - 30th January, 2008
Great room, great price but vibe did not live up to the expectation/reviews. However, the owner was away so maybe that had something to do with it. Also a young child there (relative I think), and I don't want to be too critical as perhaps she is a little autistic or similar, but she will just repeatedly kick/hit you (doesn't hurt but annoying); steal your beer and spit into it, and if her mum is not around to tell her off, what are you meant to do? We left the rooftop repeatedly when this occurred, so this means that the chill out zone upstairs is sometimes not that relaxing! As stated there might be a reason behind it and I feel bad for advising the above but if you are looking for the chilled out vibe it is good to know. We were really happy with the room though and staff were nice. Pretty good location near Independence Monument and close to Russian Market and Tuol Sleng. Definitely one of the cleanest and best value rooms I have had.
