Okay Guest House

Comfortable and affordable - 4th September, 2009
We were given a choice of double rooms with air con, shower, and tv at Okay - one very large one without a window for $12 or a smaller one with an interior window for $10. Compared with what we spent previously in Phnom Penh ($20 for a double with air con), we were really pleased with it. The shower was great, it was clean, and the interior window didn't make the room too noisy. Another perk was the extensive travel service in the reception. The front desk was eager to help with any sort of travel arrangements, and several buses picked passengers up in front of the hotel.

Secure and comfy - 7th April, 2009
This was our most expensive digs in Cambodia at 13$ for aircon/kingsize/cable/top floor clean paradise. Huge bed in a huge room, with actual decor. Tuk Tuk drivers are honest and the travel service can be helpful. Huge recommendation from me.

Better than OK - 24th February, 2009
We spent 3 nights here and found the place to be a good solid option. Room was clean, adequate and quiet. Staff were friendly and helpful. Although you get a much better price if you arrange a deal with the auto's outside yourself rather than asking the hotel to assist. Restaurant wasn't bad for breakfast and as its always packed other foods must be good too? Their internet cafe opposite was very slow - a much better option can be found round the corner. All-in-all a good option.

Pretty good! - 20th December, 2008
Stayed here twice, first time stayed in a small a/c room with small bathroom for $10, second time stayed in much bigger, nicer room with a/c and pretty big bathroom for $12. Food well worth trying and inexpensive! Tuk tuk drivers double as waiters and do sometimes bother you a little too much. Would recommend this place, but if you're heading to Siem Reap and book through this guesthouse I would NOT recommend their affiliated ''hello paradise guesthouse'' as they ruined 3 shirts of ours in their laundry - called us liars and told us they had experience with people lying as this had happened 3 times before to them, then threatened to call the (incredibly corrupt!) police...!

Not okay, the best! - 22nd April, 2008
Their best twin room was big, spotless, with air-con and TV for $12. Ask to stay in their main building where the restaurant is, as the standard is generally much better. The restaurant is excellent if you want to try local food at a very reasonable price (especially breakfast). While dining in the restaurant, organise for one of the friendly staff (who double as tuk-tuk drivers, tour guides, waiters etc) to take you to see any of the sights for a fairly reasonable price. Our tuk-tuk drivers actively watched out for our safety, and although we paid a little bit extra for the ride, we felt safer, and I personally didn't mind contributing to the guesthouse after eating and drinking their cheap food and beer, and after all the help they gave us on our trip. We liked that the guesthouse encourages guests to contribute to Phnom Penh in more meaningful ways -- for instance teaching monks to read English or organising visits to orphanages.

Better than Okay! - 24th February, 2008
Our room was $10 with A/C, a TV and an extra bed. We were supposed to have hot water too, but didn't and we never got around to asking about it. The staff were nice, the food wasn't that good, but I enjoyed the lively restaurant/lobby atmosphere. Great for meeting other travellers! Each room has a book that you keep track of orders on and pay at check-out. We got our Vietnam visas in 24 hrs for $34 and booked our bus to HCMC through them. It was very easy and convenient. Also, Pencil grocery store is just around the corner and has everything.

Value for money - 21st January, 2008
My email booking was not received... though I think it is more that they are not into them. They gave us a room (hot water, fan) for $10 and gave us the option of moving in the morning to a cheaper one which we did (cold water, fan for $6). I would say that the rooms are good value but bring spray if you are averse to ants. Restaurant serves good meals at cheap prices. Main male receptionists rather surly but the remainder of staff were all really nice and the waiters seem to double as the tuk tuk drivers. We had a good deal on the tuk tuk -- $10 for full half-day which also included the killing fields. We got one driver from outside to go around town to the markets and he was nasty, so at least you know that the guys from inside are nice. Only downer is that really the restaurant/communal space is not good enough for chilling and mixing with people -- it is so damned busy you don't feel like you can chill out because there are people waiting for tables.

More than okay - 30th December, 2007
I'm staying here now and really like it. Room is spacious (got myself a double for US$10). Bathroom is tiny but the hot shower works very well. Location-wise it is an amazing choice. It's walking distance to many attractions. Yes, there are cheaper options in PP, but this one, I think, is worth every penny.

Good enough for most - 28th October, 2007
Not a bad place to stay, air-con room from $8. Safe enough, friendly staff, who though trying to sell you their tours, generally offer a good service. Food was cheap and plain, but good to start off with. Very safe and pleasant, though not an upmarket place, good enough for us flashpackers. We were unfortunate enough to witness a guy being hauled out unconcsious -- who later died, but that's to do with his personal habits, rather than a reflection on the place. We stayed twice, and if going back would go there again for the value for money and cheap food.

Good choice, rude staff - 19th October, 2007
The guesthouse is a good pick and in a great location. My room was with air-con, TV and bathroom for only $8, good value. The man at the front desk is a little cranky, and very pushy for his own tours, but the rest of the staff are friendly.

Okay... - 4th October, 2007
This guesthouse pays out huge commissions to tuk-tuk and moto drivers. Every driver we met wanted to take us to Okay GH. As our first-choice place was full, we were taken here by our tuk-tuk driver. Triple room, en suite, fan US$7. Situated directly opposite a cheap internet cafe. Good location very near the river. Rooms were small but clean. Good for travel needs, tours, although staff were a little pushy. We booked our Mekong Delta tour into Vietnam from here (3day/2night, approx $30). Get your Vietnam visa from elsewhere. Okay were charging $36, instead of the going rate of $30.

Really OK - 22nd July, 2007
The room was clean and basic. They have got a cheap restaurant, you can have meal while watching the latest releases dvd. The staff were very helpful and they provide a transportation to anywhere.

Brilliant! - 9th May, 2007
Stayed here on return to Phnom Penh from Siem Reap. First room we had for one night was a bit grotty (but then we're a fussy couple, I'm sure lots of people would love it) then we changed rooms (from 9USD to 12USD) and got a really nice place. The place had great atmosphere, loads of good DVDs, good (very cheap) food -- what more could you ask for? Found the staff all very friendly too.

Okay is the word - 14th December, 2006
We stayed her for five days and it was basically ok. Staff were a bit pushy about overpriced tours, though. Food, internet and other services were convenient. The rooms are not all particularly secure, though, and I didn't feel a great deal of trust with the staff. They were not willing to help with any information and services that did not involve a profit for them. They also leave the rooms open after cleaning them, with the keys hanging in the doors.

My worst guesthouse - 10th November, 2006
If you are an asian, do not stay here. The people at the guesthouse are quite racist and I received very bad treatment. Aside from the bad service, the guesthouse location is very difficult to find. It is situated on a quiet street and there are two buildings owned by Okay guest house. I guess because I am an Asian, I got the poorer condition room. The room is ugly and the bathroom is not even considerable as a bathroom. It is just a man-made screen and pipe which cuts into one of the corner of the room. It is terrible here and I stayed just one night. I am sure there are better guest house than this. Take your own risk if you want to stay here. This is the worst guesthouse of my entire trip.

Great value for money - 20th August, 2006
I found OK guesthouse to be a great place to stay in Phnom Penh, the guesthouse is on a quiet side-street and in a good location. The rooms are spotless and great value for money, definitely better than Capitol or staying down by the lake.
