Pros:

Charmant petit hotel bien placé pour visiter les principaux endroits de la ville. Personnel agréable, une quinzaine de chambre avec une piscine ombragée de palmiers pour se rafraîchir en fin de journée. Ambiance détente le soir, bons cocktails
et musique d’ambiance très appréciés.

Clean, very comfortable and outstanding value
Pros:

Tucked away on a quiet street yet close to everything, Samaya was a fantastic find and somewhere I shall certainly return to whenever I’m in Phnom Penh. The staff are excellent, the kitchen is first-class, and the pool is clean and spacious. There’s also a lovely little bar area, ideal for relaxing or catching up on some work on a laptop. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the whole experience represents excellent value for money. Highly recommended!

Cons:

Great place for first time in Phnom Penh
Pros:

The property was located pretty central to everything in Phnom Penh, the staff were lovely & welcoming, & it was nice to chat to the owner. The rooms were big, bathrooms were also huge which was a bonus. AC was very good. Drink & food was available downstairs. The information the hotel sent us upon booking was very informative and helpful if it’s your first time in Cambodia.

Cons:

There was food left in the fridge from the previous guests, the fridge was also quite dirty, we cleaned it down ourselves. The bed was also quite firm & the sheets were stained, although they may have been clean, the stains can put people off. The seals on the bathroom shower screen could do with being redone as the bathroom would flood easily after a shower, Other than that, it was an adequate stay for the price.

Un bon rapport qualité prix, un hôtel bien placé et plein de charme.
Pros:

Établissement familial, dans une ancienne maison typique avec sa piscine qui donne une ambiance unique. On se sent comme chez des cambodgiens, et le gérant est français, très sympa avec plein de conseils. L’accueil est donc très convivial. La situation de l’hôtel : on peut se rendre dans le centre à pied . Les services proposés de l’hôtel (taxi pour venir nous chercher à l’aéroport, un service de transport jusqu’à SiemReap …)

Cons:

Étant donné le rapport qualité prix, je ne vois pas.
