Un lieu historique dans Phnom Penh
Pros:

Hotel historique dans Phnom Penh. Les locaux sont tres beaux. La chambre immense et magnifique. Le style colonial est bien représenté. Nous ne sommes restés que 24h mais ce fut un super moment. Restaurant qualitatif, personnel disponible, aidant et serviable. Elephant Bar iconique. Super moment

Cons:

Le prix est quand même elevé et le restaurant Phnom 1929 fait un peu cheap dans sa décoration / ambiance.

Staying at Raffles Hotel Le Royal should be number one choice while in Phnom Penh.
Pros:

What an oasis! On a referral, I decided to explore Raffles hotel while I was in Phnom Penh for a brief stay. I was already booked elsewhere so I decided to treat myself to a wonderful brunch. The surprises never ended from the delightful new restaurant manager Tum to the most incredible food and service. Highly recommend! It was also unexpected yet cherished that I was invited to an art opening that night at the hotel. Again, every last detail was impeccable, the guests were all embraced, the curated art of the local Cambodian people exceptional, and the passed hors d’oeuvres and poured drinks were delicious.

The most fantastic hotel.
Pros:

Words cannot express how amazing is this hotel. The elegance, the sense of grandeur and history was fantastic. Our room was huge with a private balcony. The marble bathroom had both bath and shower. Friendly helpful staff at both the restaurant and the magnificent Elephant Bar. There are 2 lovely pools, one for children, and both in a tropical setting. Staff bring fans and toiletries including citronella mosquito repellent to you poolside. We ordered some food and drinks poolside and that was very tasty and reasonably priced. Breakfast was also very good. I'll go out on a limb and say this is the best hotel we've ever stayed in although of course that's subjective! I'd go to Phnom Penh just to stay here.

A treat stay to end the holiday but felt a little lack lustre
Pros:

Beautiful decor and a touch of luxe before a flight home. Big breakfast menu to choose from and the welcome drink was fabulous. Excellent sized pool.

Cons:

Feather pillows on the bed left me with such a sore neck the next day. Nothing complimentary in the minibar - which was a shame. Felt like I had been forgotten at breakfast and was sat outside around the corner next to smokers, and so I left after a short time meaning I didn’t maximise the breakfast options. The service by the pool was very slow and staff could have been more attentive. My shower also didn’t get hot, tepid but not hot enough.

Best place to stay
Pros:

Returning to Raffles Phnom Penh confirmed everything we felt during our previous visit — and even more. The hotel remains as elegant, spotless, and beautifully maintained as ever. The rooms are stylish and supremely comfortable, the bathrooms pristine, and the overall atmosphere effortlessly refined. The pool area continues to be a true highlight — peaceful and absolutely stunning.

Breakfast was again excellent, with a wide variety and high-quality offerings. Service throughout the hotel was warm, polished, and attentive. Loved the young people in the front desk!

A very special mention to Chanseng Vin, Concierge, who was truly outstanding. He was incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay, but what impressed us most was his assistance after we had already returned home. We accidentally left our earphones behind, and he personally ensured they were located and carefully arranged shipment via FedEx. Thanks to his efficiency and care, we received them just a few days after our departure. That level of service is rare and deeply appreciated.

Cons:

One small point: while the bathroom doors in our room type stylistically fit beautifully with the overall design and aesthetic of the room, I would personally prefer a more solid door for additional privacy. It’s a minor detail and very much a matter of preference, but worth noting.

An excellent hotel for a stay in Phnom Penh
Pros:

The check-in was warm and attentive. The colonial-style room was beautifully decorated and very clean, and matched the description: spacious (despite the limited space due to the building’s historical features) and comfortable, with all the necessary amenities. The hotel is well-located in the north of Phnom Penh in a fairly upscale and quiet neighborhood, close to places of interest; just a few minutes’ walk from the Central Market and Wat Phnom, the Tonlé Sap Riverfront, and historic colonial-era buildings, and a short distance from the Royal Palace (about 5–10 minutes by tuk-tuk). The hotel’s common areas are very pleasant and tastefully decorated to reflect the hotel’s history; the gardens are beautiful and well-maintained, as are the two swimming pools. The hotel’s restaurants, serving both local and international dishes, are excellent. The staff (front desk, restaurant, doorman) is very responsive when needed (via WhatsApp, where we can communicate with the front desk), smiling, welcoming, and charming.

Cons:

Everything was great !
