Not bad for a hostel!
Great reception and warm hospitality. No lifts, only (super uneven) steps. You need to carry up extra supplies on your own from the first floor if you need extras. Rooms are not cleaned unless requested. It helps to have the balcony if you're not travelling alone. Overall, if you're a minimalist, you'd be content. (:

Excellent!
This was my second time at Rachana, and I'd definitely come back. Big beds, clean rooms, excellent Wi-Fi and air-con, and the price is excellent for Phnom Penh. I don't think you'd find better value in the area. Also, Simas and Sofina at the front desk are always smiling and willing to help! Highly recommend.

Recommend!
I stayed at Rachana for 7 nights and enjoyed it. Nothing fancy, but a big comfortable bed, hot shower, good WiFi, TV, air-con and rooftop bar were all nice. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the surrounding area is full of restaurants and bars. Many historical sites just a short walk away. For the price, I'd definitely stay here again!

Updated Hotel, downtown, but very noisy!
We stayed here for 2 nights and each night there were kids screaming up and down the stairs. We were woken up around 5am by a wedding that took place in the street. There was yelling and music blasting through a megaphone, it was so loud even my ear plugs couldn’t drown it out. It’s modern and updated so I will give it that but the walls are paper thin. I was just ready to leave before it was time to check out. We would have rather sat at the airport for hours than listen to the amount of loud noise. And I’m not a picky person! There are a ton of better places to stay in Phnom, I probably won’t stay here again.

Good cheap stay
Our stay here was good considering the cheap price - the staff were very friendly, it was in a good central location and the room was spacious and clean. The room was very noisy at night as it is located on a busy intersection and the bed was very hard in some places.

Nice, clean hostel, close to places of interest
The hostel itself is very basic as far as amenities go, however we did appreciate the early check-in they gave us, for no extra charge. We arrived around 6AM in Phnom Penh and were beat, having traveled via bus from Siem Reap, so it was great that they had the room ready and allowed us to go and rest. The location is definitely one of the main bonuses of this hostel, with most places of interest within a walking distance, and a variety of bars and restaurants right on the doorstep. The room itself was quite basic, with a bit of an industrial (unfinished?) feel to the decor, but there was free wifi, the aircon was working, the sheets were clean, and the bathroom had hot water, so it ticked the main boxes for my partner and I.

If You Don't Care Where You Sleep
Wifi is super important for me as I am working while traveling, and it was slow here. The door and windows are super thin and you can hear all of the traffic, people yelling, animals, etc. It is located on a busy corner, with bars and restaurants lining all streets. The bathroom was the worst part of the place. It was dank and humid, had harsh lighting and it felt hollow and make-shift. The second floor is underneath the rooftop area where they serve breakfast and drinks at night. You can hear the stools being dragged around and loud footfalls.FYI - They also close the main gate around midnight and the overnight attendant sleeps in the "lobby." You have to wake him to ask to leave and knock the gate hard enough to wake him up to let you back in.

Excellent stay!
The stay was excellent as l got a special rate from hotels.com for three nights. However the steps of the staircase is unusually steep and poses a problem for guests with heavy and large luggages or backpacks. There is no lift as it is only three storeys. The room l stayed in was located at the top floor just below the lounge and there was a lot of furniture movements sound especially at the time the lounge closes and during early morning when breakfasts was served as guests will dragged their chairs and the sound of dragging can be so noisy that it sort of vibrates the room itself. The other is that there was no kettle or cups and spoons to make hot drinks and you have to get them feom reception which may not be available to all guests as these arr not provided for. The wifi is excellent and stable, the bed was superb and i got a balcony with table and lazy chairs to watch the movements on the streets. There are a lot of tour agencies around, eateries and a short 200m walk to Central Market and 500m to river front where the daily night market is.

Basic hostel in reasonable location
I found the staff at check in to be quite difficult and not much help. My room was up 4 very steep flights of stairs and the person showing me the way did not wait or help me with my bags but then waited for a tip (which I didn't give). The rooms are quite basic with concrete floors and bathroom & shower in one with no curtain or screen. The room was clean however, and there were no bugs! Location was decent, close to the museum and a short walk from the riverside. Also, lots of bars and restaurants nearby. Overall, an ok stay but nothing to rave about.

Great stay. Only problem was that the bathroom door wouldn't shut properly so we used the bin to keep it from opening.
