Long Hostel

Excellent choice

What we say:

Although they have moved to a new and larger location, Long Guesthouse, located next to the Thai Binh market at the end of Pham Ngu Lao, is still like a home away from home in Vietnam. More like staying with extended family than in a hotel, customer service sets Long apart from other budget spots in the city. Upon arrival, you are given a 30-minute crash course on safety and where to go in the city. The included homemade breakfast is also a nice touch. The rooms are clean and air-con, coming with the standard amenities. The Longs are certainly developing a sparkling reputation throughout the backpacker community and, even with the additional rooms added by the move, space at the guesthouse limited. Advanced booking would be highly recommended.

Rated 4 out of 5

Based on 1 ratings and 1 reviews

Recommended.

Staying a week, $15 per night, with brekky and WiFi. Good value. A little hard to find, down an alleyway, but Ms Long will email you a map if you book ahead. Place is busy. Buses from Phnom Penh will drop you in the vicinity. 10.767 106.6893 is the position of the unassuming alley entrance, opposite the park, proceed ~30m and there you are.
