Honestly I'm not sure how this made top pick in Lonely Planet. Our room was adequate but extremely noisy with the raging bar upstairs and traffic out front. The staff seemed to barely tolerate us and were not friendly or welcoming at all. It is a fun bar scene and great for meeting people, but come for happy hour and... More

I booked my room here as I saw it got top choice in the lonely planet. The worst recommendation I've ever taken! I was supposed to stay here 2 nights but checked out after 1. I was so surprised when I first walked in it seemed dirty with cement and cracked concrete everywhere. The staff were quite blunt with me... More

Stayed here quite a while ago now, but just had to give this place a review because it helped to make my trip to Cambodia absolutely magical! All of the staff were wonderful, Sovy the owner was friendly and quite a character, and all the people working the restaurant/bar made me feel more at home as a solo traveller. The... More

I stayed 2 nights in this GH, just enough to see cockroaches in my bathroom and behind my bed. Hot water was broken and when I asked the staff to fix the problem, they told me 'ok ok!' but they didn't do anything. The breakfast was ultra basic with chemical orange juice (is it fresh orange juice? Yes, yes, it's... More

Situated on a road full of hotels, this place keeps everyone awake ('allegedly' they pay off the police, whereas all the other bars abide by the curfue time). Sadly it means that the other hotels loose business because of the noise created by Top Banana. Avoid this place at all costs

I basically needed to review this bar because it is quality! I have not stayed in the guesthouse but it's a good tip if you're travelling or on holiday! The atmosphere is buzzing and it's on a nice roof terrace! The prices are cheap and the staff are cool! Well worth a visit and it's in a good area!

In our 5 months traveling in South East Asia, my 3 friends and I all agree: Top Banana was our favorite Guesthouse. Why? One word: atmosphere! While the rooms are clean and comfortable, the lounge area is what makes the guesthouse such as must-go location in Phnom Penh. It is located overlooking a bustling Phnom Penh street. You can just...

I actually had a very good experience staying in this hostel but can understand why it might not be for everyone. Some of the rooms are definitely better than others; it's wise to spend a bit more money and get one of the "luxury" rooms which are much nicer. The first night I stayed in a standard double room with... More

We havent slept there, but can say that the bar is absolutely amazing, above the street with great views. Lots of character and interesting people. Food was great, in quality and amount - a concern throughout southeast asia as portions tend to be rather small

I wish I could review this hostel, but sadly I was unable to get a room even though I emailed 3 times over the 3 weeks prior to my arrival, using the email address they listed on their website. I tried calling from Thailand (where I live) but kept getting the pre-recorded Cambodian message that it wouldn't go through, so... More
