Phnom Aural Mountain

We stayed here at the end of our tour of Cambodia. We stayed at five star properties the whole trip and were frankly underwhelmed by Raffles in comparison. Essentially, it was the low season and they were short staffed. Concierge was often unattended, not enough staff around the pool that was often occupied with max guests. For the price we paid (for a shockingly small room that they advertised as a suite) we felt that the attentiveness to us as guest staying for four nights was lacking. In a more positive note, staying at Raffles is like stepping back in time and the actual building and the grounds and decor is lovely to spend time around. It’s just a bit soulless when it comes to the service.

This is a split between a hotel, and an apartment building. It's clean enough, and fairly new, but it seems to be targeted toward the Chinese community. Pretty much everything in our room was in Chinese characters, and the only TV channels were set up in Chinese as well. The room construction wasn't complete, to where there was a partially installed power outlet that my toddler got her finger into! Reception staff was kind and courteous, and the price was very reasonable.

Amazing value for this quality hotel. Fabulous breakfast with great coffee. Staff all wonderful. Rooftop pool and bar are amazing. We stayed twice ( came back after our trip around Cambodia) and would highly recommend.
