Eighty8 Backpackers

Dorms with a pool

What we say:

With its flash white facade, small swimming pool and classy sign, Eighty8 doesn't present itself as a backpacker spot, but it offers great value for those looking for a cheap and clean bed.

Air-con dorms come in mixed and girls-only varieties. Each dorm room is outfitted with extra wide bunks, fits six to eight people and has its own bathroom to fight over in the morning. Massive custom built lockers can securely stow away the mother of all backpacks. Spacious air-con double or fan-cooled triple privates with shared bath are also available, and these offer very good value for the money.

Along with the pool, the building offers free WiFi, laundry, tour and bus tickets, a very social bar that hosts regular DJs along with $1 draft beer nights, a pool table, a communal lounge with a big TV and a quality restaurant. Eighty8 sources all of its meat from refrigerated butchers and washes everything in filtered water, which pushes the price up but makes it a safe bet if looking to avoid a nasty stomach ache.

Eighty8 is located to the north of town, two blocks from Wat Phnom, from where it's a $2 tuk tuk ride to most places in town.
