Not a "modern" hotel but a good clean place to stay in central Phnom Penh. My fifth floor room overlooked the Royal Palace and the National Museum. We enjoyed the rooftop bar and the complete breakfast. Tip: Take a morning walk through the grounds and courtyards of the Royal University of the Fine Arts for a look at some great contemporary sculpture.

Pros: - Excellent location. I could walk literally anywhere. - Very nice and helpful staff. - Simple property but it has everything one could need. - Offers airport transfers and extensive list of local activities for additional fee. Everything was easy to navigate. Cons: - Outdated property and decor. It's not the hotel where you go to pamper yourself. Yet, it offers everything you need as a traveler.

Great location and customer service
The hotel is situated next to the Royal Palace and most attractions were walking distance. The staff were also very attentive and accommodated our specific requests. It’s a period hotel. The decor is slightly tired but the rooms are clean. There’s breakfast which was a mix of Asian breakfast with some Western touches - yogurt and fruits, toast, fried egg, baked beans etc. It was not a huge breakfast but adequate. Overall a good experience at the hotel.

It’s aging. There are a ton of new hotels that are nicer for the same price with larger pools and roof top bars. Unless you have a room with a view of the palace, as I did, not sure it’s worth the price. The view is lovely and I’d stay again as long as I could book a room with the palace and museum view.

Overpriced, outdated and unfriendly
Just spent 5 nights here over the New Year period. The location is good (right next to the Royal Palace and Riverside), but that's about it. Daily breakfast is average and nothing gets replenished. Get there by 7am or deal with whatever is left!!! The room itself is outdated and there was an issue with the shower where only hot water comes out (incredibly dangerous). The hotel staff are indifferent to guests...ignoring you as you walk past them and rarely acknowledging you at breakfast. We paid extra to stay in a hotel near Riverside with a pool.....sadly the water looked cloudy and unclean, so we did not end up using the pool at all. There is a nice skybar on level 8 with great views and happy hour drink prices each afternoon. Overall a big disappointment and we will not be coming back.

Great location but poor maintenance
The hotel is in a terrific location, but either we were unlucky or they really need to pull their socks up regarding maintenance. Our toilet backed up constantly and whilst they were very prompt each time in coming to try and clear it, it didn't solve the problem (even though each time they said it was fixed). We stayed two nights and must have called them back 3 or 4 times. Our friends had the same experience with the air-conditioning in their room, and trying to unlock their safe - they came promptly but didn't successfully resolve the problem.

There is so much that this property has to offer. Location, cleanliness, view, nice pool, many offsite meal opportunities nearby. Some things should change. 1. Room doors should automatically lock for guest security. This is an international hotel and automatically locking room doors is a international standard for guest security. 2. Safes are provided for guests to place valuables. Very important. But when an outside service person, like a plumber, comes to fix something a staff member should stay with that person in a guest room for security of guest possessions. 3. GM and OM need to be responsive to questions. At check out for 4 rooms 10 night the GM was busy and could not meet with me. I left my business card and asked for a call back. No call back has occurred. I would stay there again. But hope that they address these issues for the international guests they serve. My overall rating would be higher if management was not so hard to talk with.
