Heerlijk verblijf, aanrader aan iedereen die houdt van lekker eten en rustige locatie
Pros:

Was rustig gelegen maar toch vlakbij het stadscentrum, de kamer was groot met veel kasten en onze wc was apart, we hadden ook terras waar we fijn konden zitten, ook onze was laten doen, en deze was voor het eerst deze twee maanden ook effectief gestreken… zalig… het eten was super lekker en het personeel enorm vriendelijk en gedienstig

Cons:

Enige minpuntje was dat we cash moesten betalen, met kaart was niet mogelijk

Pros:

Cute hotel with a nice swimming pool, friendly staff and manager.

Cons:

The first room I was assigned was a bit dark and facing directly the staircase. I was lucky to change room, the 2nd one was much better.

For the price you pay - it is good money for money.
Pros:

The property is well located, very central. In addition rooms are quiet and quite big.
The common areas are nice, the swimming pool is great.

Cons:

The room is a bit outdated : the A/C is old and quite noisy.
Bathroom has a sewer smell. Towels are quite old.
Breakfast is overpriced - same as coffee (it literally cost doubled compared to a very nice local coffee place).
Card is not accepted either.

Habe mich den ganzen Tag außerhalb aufgehalten, würde das Zimmer nie wieder buchen und auf keinen Fall empfehlen.
Pros:

Nichts

Cons:

Teppich nicht gesaugt Schrankschublade öffnete immer selbsttätig,untere Schublade des Nachtisches lies sich nicht vollständig schließen. Hinter dem Bett sehr viel Dreck, Kakalake im Fahrstuhl, Zimmer neben der Waschküche, es wurde bis nachts um 2 getrocknet und man konnte nicht schlafen, außerdem Zimmer durch diesen Umstand sehr warm da die Tür zur Waschküche ständig offen stand

Pros:

Un petit coin paisible dans Phnom Penh. J’y ai passé un excellent moment. Et la piscine est très appréciable en fin de journée 🙂
L’accueil était au top tout au long de mon séjour.

Pros:

Notre dernier logement, après un voyage de trois semaines au Cambodge, que nous vous conseillons pour son très bon rapport qualité/prix. Très bien situé, les chambres et lieux communs sont charmants et propres, la piscine est top et la cuisine cambodgienne y est délicieuse, l'équipe sur place disponible et très sympathique, nous serions bien restés quelques jours de plus :)
