Overview

A pool is the thing most budget travellers wish they had in Siem Reap, and Gecko Hostel has one. Around it there's a tropical garden and communal areas, with a restaurant and bar that serve Khmer and international food.

You can choose between dormitory beds and private rooms. The atmosphere is social, so it's an easy place to find company for a sunrise trip to Angkor Wat.

Highlights

  • Outdoor swimming pool
  • Tropical garden and communal spaces
  • Restaurant and bar on site
  • Dorm beds and private rooms

Location

The hostel describes itself as close to Siem Reap's main sights but doesn't give an address on its old page. Use the booking map to check the distance to Pub Street and the Old Market; the temples are a tuk-tuk ride from anywhere in town.

Good to know

  • Hostels with a bar can be lively in the evening; pick a private room if you want an early night before sunrise.
