Lub d sets the standard for what a modern hostel should be. I’m usually pretty picky about where I stay, but this place perfectly nails the balance between a social backpacker hub and a clean, upscale boutique hotel. The design is what caught my eye first. It has a super cool, industrial look with raw steel and minimalist spaces. The biggest game-changer for me was the bed setup. Instead of having to climb up a sketchy, creaky vertical ladder to get to the top bunk, they actually built solid wooden steps into the frame. The pods have thick blackout curtains and their own outlets, so you actually get decent privacy. Even the shared bathrooms feel high-end—super spacious, clean, and they even have hair straighteners.If you work remotely, the Wi-Fi is great and they have actual co-working areas where you can focus. When you're done, the social vibe centers around this awesome pool area. It’s incredibly easy to meet people, but it never feels like an obnoxious party hostel where you can't get any sleep. A huge bonus: they serve have spinning wheel that you can get prize on it~ I hope they will do this for every check-in and every extension, it is exciting to play. Because you can only play once. 😩 It’s right in the middle of everything, walking distance to the night markets and local food spots. If you want a place that’s spotless, well-designed, and social without being exhausting, look no further.

It is one of the best hotels we have ever visited! A lot of greens, nice swimming pool, great people work there. We adore our room, it was always quiet and super clean. Great breakfast but you gonna used to it for 3rd day.

We were welcomed with complimentary juice and snacks upon arriving at the hotel. They had a scent reminiscent of Cambodia and were delicious. The room was cozy and comfortable. The hotel offered a variety of tours, which could be booked at the front desk by the day before, making it very convenient. We joined two tours arranged by the hotel, and both were fantastic. The price was also reasonable. Overall, we were very satisfied with both the services and the cost.

Thank you for this excellent and very comfortable stay! I felt right at home! Special thanks to Brathna, Thy, Sinat, and Seyla for their hospitality!

I stayed here for 4 nights due to a botched reservation from another of their property under the IndochineGroup. I was travelling with a friend and we booked a studio double room with pool view and balcony each. Overall I had a good stay although the maintenance of the hotel could be a lil better. I would like to give special mention to a really exceptional staff, Mr Sadaka, for being the highlight of my stay. He was perhaps the only one who easily comprehended our requests, great situational awareness and resolved whatever issues that we brought up with professionalism and positivity. The rooms were spacious with basic amenities. I think the hotel is a little old and you can see that they are doing their renovation in parts. Some room floors are diff from the others. And some parts of the wall have old mold that they either missed out or just didn’t care. There is a fridge, TV (not working), thin bathrobes and a station with coffee and tea. Bed was king sized and comfy with clean white sheets. Bathroom is a little dark and looks moldy but maybe it’s just really old. They provide shower gel and hand soap in a pump bottle. Maintenance of the room could probably be better with a new coat of paint. There were mold stains below the luggage shelf which they prob thought no one would notice. The swimming pool was a real blessing after a hot morning walk. It’s surrounded by the ground level rooms (pool view) and has a quaint little sunken bar where you can enjoy your cocktails while swimming. The walls inside the pool at the deeper end is covered with a layer of brown mold/fungus which peeled off into the water when I touched it. Loads of bits floating after. They have a good restaurant in the lobby and an even more quaint cafe serving local dishes just next door (there’s a sliding door from the restaurant) MUST check it out! There’s also a good bagels place just outside on the right of the entrance. Perfect if your room doesn’t come with breakfast. They also have a good massage service where you can choose to have it in the massage rooms above the cafe or in your room. There is a 20% discount if you are a guest. Location-wise, it’s really convenient with loads of eateries and the famous Pub Street just a 10min walk away.

The hotel has perfect location, about 15 minutes walk from the Pub Street. Very quiet but central location at the same time. All the hotel crew members were very polite and helpful. We especially appreciate the warm welcoming for Nana, Jane, San and Kark. They made our stay in Sala Siem Reap great! At the lobby there are different salty and sweet snack every afternoon, and of course some special local drinks as well for free! The rooms are clean and very big. The swimming pool area is also great, just like the bar just next to the pool. You can rent a bike, motorbike as well at the hotel reception.

Very good hotel with excellent service, extensive breakfast and cozy swimming pool. Would be happy to return next time.

Anjali was perfect. Quiet, restful, and beautiful. The pool is always shaded by dense foliage so it seemed like we were in the middle of the jungle. The restaurant was amazing, and all the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. They helped us arrange all our tours and activities. We were especially lucky to have Mr. Chhlen drive us around all week in the tuktuk and the van: not only was he kind and knowledgeable, making helpful suggestions for attractions and restaurants we wouldn’t have known about otherwise, but also he was very attentive to our kids and helped keep them safe and entertained when we were out temples and souvenir shops. We highly recommend Anjali and would stay again.

Staff service are nice. Located by very close to Angkor wat areas. No lift only problem. Swimming pool and food all nice. TV and hotel room phone are spoiled but no problem for me. This is my experience in P5 Angkor residence hotel. Totally nice.
