Description
Next door to Narin Guesthouse and offering identical prices, TAT has slightly better rooms and a common area on the third storey. You feel more like you're living in someone's house here than at Narin and the restaurant upstairs is more like someone's dining room -- open and welcoming.

Friendly and cheap -

The staff here is super friendly. It did feel sort of like a homestay, as someone else wrote. We liked hanging out on the balcony upstairs.
The rooms here are ok, ours was kinda dingy but for the price, hard to beat.
We also got our passports and onward tickets through Tat, which was easy and quick.
The location's not great - a significant walk from anywhere you might want to go. Tuk tuk rides are cheap, though - $1 to $2, I think.
A final note: try the muesli with yoghurt for breakfast.
Highly Recommended -

We stayed here on two separate occasions in October 2007. We really enjoyed our stay at TAT. The family who runs the place is really friendly -- it felt like a homestay for us. We often thought about them after we left Cambodia. They also arranged our bus trips to Siem Reap and Vietnam as well as our Vietnam visas. A double room with fan and private washroom with satellite TV(Premiership games!) for US$6 is pretty hard to beat. And the food was great!
ok for one night stay - 
By maihuong19 ( total comments: 2 ) Stayed here 7/2007
We were really welcomed when we arrived at TAT. It was really a warm feeling. And the room is clean. Everything would be perfect if the toilets were cleaner and more useable (one toilet is spoilt and another one has a spoilt door, and they are not very clean) and the food was served quicker. We had to wait for half an hour for just noodle. In general, it's ok if we stay there for just one night. The price is really cheap and maybe we can't expect more.
Great family atmosphere -

We stayed at TAT in December/January first for a few days and then twice again again when we returned to Phnomn Penh from an overnight to Kratie and then a week in Kampot/Sihanoukville. The family who look after TAT are some of the loveliest people we met in Cambodia, always happy to give advice or just have a chat and they even gave us little gifts at Christmas! They lent us a helmet free for our motorbike trip because the ones the bike shop gave us were useless. All the staff seemed genuinely sad to see us go and we were too!
The street is fairly quiet but it's not too far to walk to the centre of town. (About a 10-15 minute walk to Riverside). The rooms are simple but great value and they've at least hung up a few pictures to add a bit of life.
This is a great budget hangout away from nasty Boeng Kak! (even the drivers hanging outside TAT weren't that pushy).
great time the second -

had a great time there - 
By dcd ( total comments: 2 ) Stayed here 8/2006
we stayed there for 3 times (going to siem reap and back, then to shianoukville and back)between 10.july and 6. august 2006 and we always felt like coming home, when we arrived there. it is a great place with lovely athmosphere. the staff is very helpfull and the family is very nice and gives you the feeling been welcome. the roofterrace is like a living room and a great relaxingplace after strolling through the town. We also had a look to the boeng kak area, but there it is like a kao san ghetto. in tat guesthouse you can get a real cambodia feeling. looking forward to come again there.
A Truly Wonderful Khmer Family -
By mollyandjason ( total comments: 14 ) Stayed here 2/2006
TAT is located in a very quiet part of the city. This is certainly a bonus and gives the traveller a nice view of Phnom Penh outside the usual tourist haunts. The rooms are on the dingy side but it is very affordable and the roofside restaurant/hang out area is fantastic. Enough kind words cannot be said for the family who runs this place. My wife and I had a very good time with them and enjoyed our stay.
Very Sociable - 
By manishok ( total comments: 5 ) Stayed here 2/2005
My wife and I stayed here in Feb and even though the rooms were ok the social was wonderful especially as it was shared with the family who own the place. The owners and staff were extremely helpful and gave us excellent advice on travelling to other parts of Cambodia. Recommend it for thew social area alone.

Narin Guest House
#50 Street 125, Phnom Penh
Narin is not very well located unless you plan on spending much of your time hanging around Phsar Orasay or Teukei bar, but it's still very popular with backpackers -- probably because its rooms are reasonable and the staff friendly. The rates are good and a pleasant restaurant on the 2nd storey... more

Narin 2 Guesthouse
20 Street 111, Phnom Penh
The Narin 2 is right next door to the Seng Sokhom, but there are some real contrasts -- it's a well-worn part of a group tour operation, so a hideaway it is not. Still, like its neighbour, the rooms are quite decent for the price -- spacious and clean, with tile floors. Choose from a huge variety... more
Seng Sokhom Guest House
22E1 Street 111, Phnom Penh
This is a very down-to-earth place in an out-of-the way location -- probably the most Cambodian guest house we've seen that, at the same time, wouldn't be too dodgy for foreigners. In fact it's just the opposite: a laid back family-run place that's such a great little hideaway from the crowds we... more
