They need to close for a month to fix all the broken things/ repaint/ thoroughly clean then it'll be
Pros:

Very good location and all the rooms have potential but they need a lot of work. It's a really nice building and from the photos, we were excited to stay but sadly I think these photos are over 5 y.o.

Cons:

Wayne on reception greeted us, and there was a huge cobweb behind him. When I pointed it out, he was already aware but not at all fazed.

He sent us up 5 flights of steep stairs to 501 and 502 - he talked a lot about leaving the key card in for the electricity because the 5th floor is the hottest so we should keep the AC running. 502 (mine), the A/C didn't work and 501 didn't have anywhere for the key card. I went back down and he said 501 electricity works without needing the key card, and he said he'd send somebody up to fix my AC.
We went out, when we got back they said I had to move to 201 because 502's AC didn't work. In 201, the TV didn't work but the important things were clean (bedding and towels) but there were cobwebs on the ceilings. The mattresses were on the floor which doesn't bother me but I'm not a diva/ elderly. The staircase to the beds was sturdy but a tall person couldn't have stood up up there.

Also, the plug sockets were hanging off the walls and many didn't work. I had to unplug the fridge to charge my phone and my friend luckily had purchased a longer wire phone charger because the only socket working was close to a window. The room door also didn't lock, Wayne says it locks from inside then you need the key to open again. Not so, we tried.

And Christine washed up in 501 then had a shower and some of the rice from our breakfast appeared in her shower so the plumbing's bad also.

Lovely place and owners. Would stay again.
Pros:

- Staff were great and took my bags up the 8 flights of stairs (I was on the top floor) which was a massive help
- Staff were always smiley and happy to have a chat especially main owner couple
- My flight was delayed and I arrived at 1:30am and the staff stayed up to ensure I could check in and already had the aircon on in the room so it was cold and nice to arrive to
- Room was spacious and good hot water and fridge is super handy and also had water bottles on arrival
- Great location close to riverside and a whole bunch of restaurants and Royal Palace

Cons:

- The stairs were intense (not the most large luggage friendly) but staff will help if needed. It is a good workout
- Bit of mould in the bathroom but understandable since it is very high heat and humidity

Décevant
Pros:

La recherche de solution de l’hôte

Cons:

J’ai payé pour 2 nuit mais arriver dans la chambre il y avait du produit et l’odeur chimique s’était imprégnée dans la pièce. Sans compter le nombre de fourmis présente. Étant donner que je n’avais pas payer pour cela j’ai été très mécontente et déçu. J’ai demander remboursement et ça a été refuser. J’ai donc pu avoir une autre chambre qui malgres tout ne convenait pas et j’ai du négocier pendant un long moment. Au final j’ai pu dormir qu’une seule nuit et je me suis faite rembourser la deuxième. La deuxième chambre sentait moins le produit mais j’ai retrouvé des faux cils et des cheveux dans le lit ét dans la salle de bain. Je souligne quand même le professionnalisme et le faite qu’il est chercher des solutions pour nous satisfaire.

Le vie du Phnom Penh!
Pros:

This place radiates the charm of 1930’s French Indochina set in the vibrant heart of Phnom Penh. Curved wooden banisters, hinting at clandestine corners and old-world charm. Just up the street from the National Museum and a few minutes tuk-tuk travel to the Royal Palace. Walk the other way to many bars and local restaurants.

Cons:

So long as you’re ready for lots of spiraling stairs, nothing!

Bon séjour dans un super quartier. Un coup de neuf serait bienvenu...
Pros:

Très bien situé, dans une rue en plein centre. Très grande chambre avec mezzanine, avec balcon donnant sur la rue. Grands lits très confortables. Les deux ou trois (jeunes) personnes qui gèrent l'accueil et le bar sont extra.

Cons:

Certains équipements ne sont pas fonctionnels, le mobilier (chaise ou tables) et installations sont parfois un peu vieillots et dégradés. L’ensemble de l'établissement mériterait un rafraîchissement.

Un hostal decebedor amb una ubicació excel·lent
Pros:

El gran avantatge era la ubicació a la ciutat, molt a prop del riu Tonle Sap, a tocar del Palau Reial i pràcticament davant del Museu de Phnom Penh, que és una delícia.

Cons:

Ni el noi de recepció de dia, ni l'hostal, força brutejat i sense encant, ni el preu, que considero car.

Sale mais personnel très aimable
Cons:

Cafards, fourmis, vers parasite qui sortent du robinet, fuite d'eau. Chambre sans fenêtre qui sent l'humidité. Pas moyen d'empêcher les moustiques d'entrer par la ventilation qui fait un bruit de tracteur.

Pros:

Good location. Night markets, dining and riverside in a few minutes. I payed extra and stayed in the room on 1st floor. Washing machine and kitchenette ate the point. The internet is not good but OK.

Cons:

Bathroom is not comfortable at all. No sponge or soap to wash dishes. Fridge has leak. Some ants. AC placed awful. Shower faucet sprinkling in all possible directions. A bit noisy

Satisfaisant tout en méritant un coup de propre
Pros:

Je suis revenue ici pour la 3eme fois car c’est bien situé et pratique pour une chambre solo parfois au meme prix qu’en dortoir... et que j’aime bien le personnel

Cons:

Les salles de bains mériteraient vraiment un coup de neuf. C’est étroit, rouillé par endroit, un peu sale et mon papier toilettes etait très humide.
