Siem Reap & Phnom Penh done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Simple food, well made, and enough of it. Worth every rupee.

Well paced over 5 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. No hesitation recommending them.
