With square-shaped pods for maximum-seating capacity and a projector playing live streaming of sports all over the world, there’s a lot to like about Number 9. Non-sports enthusiasts even have their place near the entrance and a flowing fountain has been placed next to the staircase leading to the hostel’s 29 rooms (US$17 to US$25). Conveniently placed near Pencil Supermarket and the Riverside, it is an ideal place for backpackers to base themselves as the Royal Palace, National Museum, NagaWorld Casino and Sisowath Quay are within walking distance.

Number 9, 7C Street 258, Tel: 023 984 999, Open daily 24 hours a day.
