Just an average hotel
Close to local eating places, close to city centre & markets
4
A highly over-rated hotel, at best it is TWO Star & nothing more. Staff at Front Desk is incompetent, unfriendly. The Hotel does not have a lift/escalator, climbing on the narrow staircase is a painful experience, specially for older guests. Internet is generally dysfunctional or too slow. Calling it a "Boutique Hotel" is a misnomer & misleading. Hotel is conveniently silent on the fact that there are no lifts & the customers are presented with a fait-accompli situation on arrival.

Lovely hotel with great location

Very good location, better if you try to get the room overlooking the Mekong river. We even got upgraded for free only because of very friendly staff. Close proximity to the royal palace. Lots of shops & restaurants nearby. If you want nightlife the good places are on street 51. Only thing about this hotel is there are no lifts so if you are on the high floors get ready for exercising. We were on the 3rd floor so not too bad. Good hotel for the budget price

The riverfront location was great and perfect for easy access to key places. The service was very good and the staff truly friendly. Unfortunately, the elevator is still out of action and I had to climb 90 steps to the 4th floor. OK for me, but perhaps not for others.

Very disappointed with an obvious lack of hospitality in this hotel, reception staff unfriendly.
Location of the hotel is excellent with a view on the river and nearby the Palais.
Room are ok with old furnitures but well maintained, amenities are poor. No elevator to reach the various floor to the roof top where the bar restaurant is located, good food service at this restaurant, service average and wait staff not always friendly.
B'fast buffet is boring (everyday the same, choice limited and no service at all.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
Will not recommend this hotel (quality / price)

Old but charming boutique hotel
6.7
Hotel Bougainvillier is a series of charming townhouses that comprise one hotel across from the waterfront promenade in Phnom Penh. There are no elevators, so if you aren't willing to climb the beautiful polished wood staircases, this hotel isn't for you!
Rooms are furnished with old-style Khmer furnishings, but also have WiFi and air-conditioning and other modern conveniences. You pay a premium for rooms facing the street/river.
There is a lovely rooftop bar that allows you to relax with a drink or a meal and watch the action on the promenade.
The breakfast is so so, although dining room service isn't the friendliest; the front desk: some staff are lovely.
I loved my room and the location, too -- the promenade is always full of strolling tourists and locals, and the Royal Palace and National Museum are only a couple of blocks away

Many better hotels near to Bougainvillier

We were disappointed about the "superior" suite. The sleeping room was dark, without windows in the back of the big living room. The door to balcony could not be opened and the bathroom was old as the rest too. Unpolite staff... I stayed in a better room less expensive (junior suite)at the same place two years ago. Short: I was very disappointed. The location is really good and the view to the Tonle Sap great. If you get a good river view suite you can be happy, but there are better places nearby.

well located hotel with no lift.
Well located on the river side. Lots of cheap and clean eating options around. USD 2 to Naga World.

The Superior River view suite was large and well appointed. However, it did not have enough lighting and opening the balcony door invited noise and insects. Buffet breakfast was average with the same spread daily. Got the impression that food was reused at all buffets.
Hotel Feature Tip:
You will die climbing stairs unless you get a lower floor. They have a roof top restaurant, and you deserve a free meal if you have the guts to climb up there.

The hotel is beautiful and very well run. The room was great, and it's right on the river where all the restaurants are. It was easy to find, also, which is not always the case in Cambodia...
