As you walk past, Lucky Hostel might look like an uninviting industrial block without much style. Truth be told, they could really work on their design, but apart from that, this place is an absolute jackpot -- a massive swimming pool, spacious socialisation and relaxation areas, and very secure rooms make it a great place to stay.
The Location
Lucky Hostel will favour those whose aim is to spend their time in central Battambang. As it's located on the main road that brings you here from the border to Thailand, it is central but the area around it is more commercial and business oriented than being a place for tourists. There are plenty of banks around and the central market is also in walking distance. However, the majority of the tourist attractions are at the other end of the town.
Rooms and Bathrooms
The hostel has an incredible number of rooms on four floors; however, there is no elevator, so be ready to climb a lot! It is not uncommon for it to host big groups of students or young people, which definitely makes it a less cosy and familiar place. The dorms offer capsule-style bunk beds with a cage door at the end; while you are away, you can lock your belongings inside and while you are asleep, you can also lock yourself in -- just make sure you keep the keys handy! While the beds are comfy and you get a free towel to use, the air conditioning is not great and as there are no windows, you might feel a bit claustrophobic in the complete darkness! Last but not least, the beds are all attached and every time somebody turns around, the whole structure moves. The bathrooms are next to the staircase, which means that depending on which room you get, it might be quite a long walk away from your room. However, there are lots of toilets and showers so you will never have to wait in line!
Common Spaces
The hostel offers an amazing indoor swimming pool, which is actually big enough in which to swim proper leaps. Next to the pool, there are showers and an entire floor dedicated to comfy sofas where you can relax. The bottom floor offers a spacious breakfast area, even if the canteen was closed at the time of the review. There is also a billiards table and darts on the wall.
Summary
If you don’t mind that you are going to be sharing your hostel with huge amounts of people, this place can be a good choice because of the quality of the common areas. However, the dorms are quite peculiar and might not be to everybody’s taste.
