How is Mushroom Point rated?

Mushroom Point Reviews

Mushroom Point has a very telling name that carries a double meaning. Firstly, it alludes to the super cool design where every hut is in the shape of a little mushroom. However, secondly, it refers to the heavy smoking scene that is going on here.

The Location

Mushroom Point is located on Otres Beach. It is not in Sihanoukville but about six kilometres outside of it, and you would need to take a tuk tuk here from the city. It is in the Otres One section, which is at the moment undergoing massive change due to the Chinese developments, which means that within half a year it could be surrounded by skyscrapers. It is not on the beach side of the main (and only) street of Otres but it will only take you three minutes to walk out to the beach. It is also really close to the ferry terminal to Koh Ta Kiev -- not to Koh Rong and Koh Rong Samloem though!

Rooms and Bathrooms

The territory of the hostel is huge and it is basically a garden, which is full of little huts in the shape of mushrooms. Some of these are private rooms and some are dorms. The dorms look really eclectic with a lot of random objects piled into them, from fishing equipment to shells and unused cooking utensils. The beds are mattresses with mosquito nets around them, and they look a bit too haphazard to live up to the overall design of the hostel. However, the mattresses are really soft and comfy, and even though there is no air cooling, the air is quite fresh inside the huts at night. There is only cold water in the bathroom, but otherwise the toilet and bathroom are fine.

Common Spaces

There is plenty of space to chill out in the garden area, but there is also a super cool main building, which also functions as an Italian restaurant. You will feel like you're in an enchanted world, but if you are not into the smoking scene you might be annoyed by the amount of people doing weed here.

Summary

Mushroom Point is a cute little hostel with a cool concept; if you can disregard the fact that you are not next to the sea and you will be welcomed with weed smoke every time you exit your room, you will surely enjoy your stay here.
