LOVELY JUBBLY VILLA
Wifi here was alright; It would go from being really bad and really good. However, it is still free so you can't complain too much!
Security here is okay. It is not difficult to get in to the hostel but you do need a key to get in. There is a locker available for you but you can also see in to it, so I would not store valuables on show. You don't need your own lock for these lockers though.
The swimming pool was nice, although the photos on hostel world are very deceiving! It is quite small and the surrounding area is small aswell; there is only two sun loungers. However, it is a great chiller for when you have come back from a full day. I would recommend always trying to get hostels with pools in Cambodia because the heat there is insane.
Showers and Toilets
We were in an ensuite and the toilet and shower were seperate and even had a seperate mirror and taps. I much prefer it this way because it's an easier way to cut down on queuing etc. The shower itself was powerful and there were plenty of hooks to hang clothes, towel etc.
Value for Money
This was quite cheap for a hostel especially with a pool. It had really good reviews on hostel world. Although, they will charge you slightly more for the bus and for food here.
Staff
The staff here are alright. Due to the establishment being more of a hotel rather than a hostel there isn't the personal touch we have recently experienced. Plus, there was a language barrier which made booking excursions, ordering food and sorting transport more difficult. I found that there was always too many staff around doing nothing.
Breakfast
They do not include breakfast in the price of the room which was disappointing but we managed to find some bargains in the local supermarkets so this was not an issue.
Dorms
The dorms were spacious but very cold due to the air con. Every bed is provided with a plug which makes everything so much easier. All in all, not a bad room at all.
Location
The location was okay but we had been warned by several people both travellers and Cambodians that as a city Phnom Penh is not safe and that muggings happen frequently therefore we didn't really explore the city as we would have done previously.
OVERALL, the hostel was alright but it just lacked personality. However, for two nights it did the job!
Love Imogen xoxo
