The mood of being rich and privileged began when our public ferry from Phnom Penh pulled up to the Victoria's private dock first, allowing us to deboat before anyone else. From there we were welcomed into our beautiful room, with a huge wooden desk as big as a bed, original art, and welcoming robes and fruit basket. The view of the river from the colonial windows was magnificent. We never wanted to leave. Turn-down service included little cookies and candies. Breakfast on the patio was exceptional. When we left, we received a little souvenir of a silk bag in which our key had been presented.

*Our Charming Room
*The Excellent Restaurant
The pool is small, but the setting is pretty.
- Restaurant Tip : We went to the local "Mekong" restaurant across the road which was recommended in two guidebooks. We often eat in budget places happily, but the food was terrible--fish with an odd texture and the worst parts of the chicken. We ended up ordering a second meal at the Victoria which was delicious and served with style.
Nice place on Bassac river
