mixed feelings”

The staff here is super awesome! That is the best aspect of Dolphin. The place is clean (cleaned everyday) which is very nice also. The location is good and very bad at the same time. Good- it is between the Royal Palace and Wat Phnom Bad- in the heart of the bar/nightclub district. It is very loud at night from 11pm - 2ish am from the nightclub next door- bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper! The lower bunk beds have a lot of head space and each bed has an outlet and a light. Unfortunately the light has no covering and can be annoying when someone has it on and you are trying to sleep. No curtains around the beds. Lockers for all beds is a nice feature.

awesome staff ”

The staff is the highlight of Dolphin. Very friendly and very helpful! The location is good in regards to access to places to visit and BAD im regards to being surrounded by loud bars/nighclubs. Loud music from 11ish to 1ish. The big mixed bed dorm is the loudest. The 6 bed dorm is on the third floor and should be more quiet. The bathrooms are cleaned regularly and have ample room, ac, lockers for your luggage under the beds and decent wifi. They should have quiet hours posted and lights out posted too. The beds have lights but no curtains and the lights face everyone in the room so others lights will shine on your face when you are trying to sleep. If it wasn't for the staff I would give this place a 5 out of 10. Awesome Staff!

Hostel oscuro, lúgubre y apestoso”

Al entrar en el hostel ya ves que la cosa no pinta bien. la zona común es el bar del sitio, oscuro, sucio y poco ventilado. La escalera es lúgubre y ya el pasillo que lleva al dorm (supuestamente de 6 personas, en realidad de 8) huele a pis a más no poder! Así que no os quiero ni contar cómo olían los baños! los azulejos no los limpiaban desde hace meses! Lo único bueno, el tamaño de la cama y que hay enchufe. mi luz era inexistente, todo sucio, sábanas grises y rotas y lockers para las mochilas con tanta porquería que preferí dejarlo todo fuera. yo elegí el hostal por tener aire acondicionado en el dormitorio... pero para mi sorpresa solamente lo conectan por la noche, porque por el día les cae agua a la terraza (donde se sientan los dueños/trabajadores y un par de conductores de tuktuk amigos) y les molesta... en fin. No se lo recomiendo a nadie!
