Reviews of Avista Hostel

11 May 2011 Emma Faye would recommend this property

Liked: The staff at this hostel really make it an enjoyable place to stay. Sophea the manager is extremely helpful and she can organise tours to the temples and transportation into the city for a very reasonable price. Free pick up and drop off from airport is very helpful. The hostel is clean and the breakfast is simple but sufficient. The rooms are very clean and well equipped. The hostel is located just outside of the city but you can get a tuk tuk or ask Sophea to arrange transport to the main area for bars and restaurants and of course the night markets. I would definitely stay here again and I recommend to all travelers coming to Siem Reap. Great location for the temples, friendly staff and great value for money.

Disliked: Nothing, all good!

Liked: It was spick and span clean! The staff was very helpful in helping me to arrange my sightseeing. I was more or less assigned a tuk tuk driver on staff upon arrival and he was available for most of my excursions. The breakfast was filling and helped me hold out for a late lunch each day. The location is a bit far from the old market area, but I prefered that as I didn't want to be in the tourist mosh pit, and they provide free one way tuk tuk service into town and it's only $2 to get back to the hotel. Good place to stay, I felt safe and secure!

Disliked: The tuk tuk drivers are all about the upsell and they perhaps choose the route that is most beneficial to them (they can charge more) versus what makes more sense to see an do....so just know exactly which temples you want to go to beforehand.
