Has seen better days
Pros:

Location is good, not too far from the main attractions. Good breakfast even if bit pricey.

Cons:

The windows of the room needs an upgrade. They barely close and do not provide any soundproofing. If your room faces the street it can be really noisy. Also the aircon is a bit dated.

En oase i storbyen
Pros:

En oase i storbyen. Virkelig dejlig pool og hyggelig omgivelser.

Cons:

Det var god musik ved poolen. Lidt jazz og roligt pop. Men måske man ikke behøver at spille musik fra om morgen til om aften?! Engang imellem er det også rart bare uden musik.

Toiletdørene på værelset havde skodder, så man ikke kunne se ind, men lyden kunne sagtens komme ud, hvilket ikke er så fedt.

Et rum til 4 mennesker, men kun 2 stole på terrassen.

For meget lys fra udendørs spots om aften og natten. Ikke nødvendigt, da alle værelser havde udendørs lys som man selv kunne tænde og slukke.

Hotellets restaurant lidt til den dyre sidde. 7 dollars per person for morgenmad og 2 dollars for 1,5L vand. Heldigvis nemt nok at bestille mad og drikkelse udefra. Billigere og flere mad og drikke muligheder.

Pros:

Clean room, friendly staff

Cons:

The aircon could not keep the room at a comfortable temperature. We asked them to check it and they said it was working correctly. The mattress was not the most comfortable.

Un hôtel idéalement situé au cœur de Phnom Penh, à distance de marche du Palais et de nombreux restaurants et cafés très agréables. L’emplacement est parfait pour découvrir la ville facilement. Les chambres sont très confortables et l’accueil chaleureux de l’équipe, toujours aux petits soins, est particulièrement appréciable.
