Phnom Penh hotels & places to stay

i have been to phnom penh many times. i have stayed with a few boutique hotels, international standard hotel in phnom penh. this is first time, i stay at dragonworld hotel. this is definately worth the money. this hotel provided the best facility and service, in phnom penh. a place with grand enterance. safe and sound. from food to entertainment and my business needs are extremely well taken care.

This hotel was recommended to me by a fellow traveller so I booked 4 nights at the Okay Boutique hotel in Phnom Penh. I was glad that I took his advice because this is a stylish and quirky hotel in a great location near to the heart of the old town and riverside. I have stayed in a number of hotels in Asia during my 4 month tour that are new buildings constructed and designed to look like old hotels, from a bygone era. I was astonished to learn that the Okay Hotel is relatively new but I would defy anyone to realise that. The architecture and internal finishing are quite astonishing and I felt that I was in an old colonial building full of marble and aged mahogany staircases. It has a superb top floor swimming pool and bar area with great views over the old city. The staff were welcoming and provided helpful advice and guidance. The room was large, clean and comfortable. Only gripe -I found the breakfast a little disappointing given the overall excellence of this hotel.

We travel everywhere. And we travel a lot. I'm here to let you know that a) this hotel has everything you could possibly be searching for in Phnom Penh -- competent and caring staff, beautifully designed rooms, first class service, exceptional breakfasts, and a location that cannot be beat. I have to file this disclaimer: The hotel did not -- I repeat. did not -- pay me to write this. We intend on returning to Phnom Penh. Any guesses as to where we're choosing to stay?

The hotel I typically used in Phnom Penh was not available on my last visit and so I took a look at The Plantation, having heard good things from friends/family. So long as the pricing stays as competitive, I won't be using anywhere else in future. It was really hard to fault the place. Excellent, attentive staff. Great facilities. Choice of a few spots in which to eat, including by the beautiful pool area. The grounds were very quiet despite being right in the heart of the city. If I really had to pick faults, I'd say that a couple of items of furniture in the room were starting to look a little too well-used, but still a cut above other hotels in Phnom Penh. Will definitely be back.

An apartment complex with a hotel in it, The Bridge Club is brand new so still in excellent condition. With 2 swimming pools, a gym, cable TV, high-speed WiFi, king-sized bed, free drinkable water, it really can't be beaten for the price in Phnom Penh. I stayed here 10 days and had a wonderful time. It's a short walk to the riverfront or Aeon Mall, but not in the heart of the bar district (but really, it's good to escape that craziness and have some peace). Oh, and the view from the room over the Mekong River is the BEST VIEW IN PHNOM PENH! Highly recommend.

I stayed in Essence Hotel for 3 nights during my trip in Phnom Penh. The location is good, on Monivong Boulevard. You can visit the most majority of famous site of Phnom Penh by feet if you like walk. Rooms are cleans and spacious. Food and breakfast is good too. Hotel is calm and you can relax easiler after a day trip in Phnom Penh. And to finish the review, the most important positive point on this hotel is the staff. They are amazing: very nice, kind and always ready to help you. It was a pleasure to stay on this hotel.

Have stayed at several hotels in Phnom Penh over the years but this place is hard to beat. Location is just a few steps from the riverfront. Rooftop restaurant has the best view ever, and having breakfast looking out over the river with the sunrise was unforgettable. Staff very friendly. Room couldn't be faulted. Comfy bed, clean towels, and good blackout curtains. Will definitely stay here again.

The Aquarius was an oasis of calm in bustling Phnom Penh, just a newly opened hotel, still some work going on but it's out of the way of my room, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The highlight was the infinity rooftop pool which was gorgeous especially in the night time. The location is situated in the city’s’ main shopping and dining area at the street 240, with just a few minutes’ walk from Royal Palace, National Museum and Independence Monument. Staffs are very helpful and friendly. I will not be surprised if sooner it will become one of the famous hotel in Phnom Penh, definitely it's going to be a great hotel! Would certainly recommend this hotel.

We have lived in Phnom Penh for nearly 7 years now and enjoy being able to get away for some rest and relaxation. Our stay at the Sokha Phnom Penh Hotel was wonderful. We have stayed at their other Sokha Hotels in Seam Reap and Sihanoukville and really enjoyed them too. Therefore, it was an easy decision to choose staying at the Sokha in Phnom Penh. The hotel is absolutely beautiful with wonderfully comfortable rooms. We enjoyed many great meals in their various restaurants and also had room service. All the staff were very polite and enjoyed serving us. Our stay was fantastic and I would highly recommend this hotel. Furthermore, my husband and I will plan to stay as this beautiful resort again!

Set just back off a main road Harmony Phnom Penh Hotel offered a unique view into the many contradictions of Phnom Penh. Sitting at breakfast overlooking the crystal chandelier adorned foyer we could easily see the local vendors of the street market selling their wares. Fruits, vegetables, fish, meats, nuts and seeds some easily identifiable and others not so. It was evident that many families lived where their stall was and their homes may not have been more than a hammock and hotplate and yet the happiness was palpable. From the rooftop pool and lounge was undoubtedly the best view of Phnom Penh. In front was the vast rivers, behind the city scape and below the street scape. All different, varying degrees of rich and poor and yet so beautiful in their own unique way. Our room was quite compact and had a wonderful balcony that made it feel bigger than it was but well outfitted and very comfortable. The location was close to many attractions and staff very helpful and friendly

The hotel was great... it was an oasis in Phnom Penh. Walk distance from Royal Palace and National Museum. My plan included breakfast and a massage. The room was roomy with a shower booth and cute amenities.... also welcome fruits was included... in the classy European style atmosphere. Also the staff was so nice especially the staff at the entrance. They helped me a lot to get a ride (tuktuk or taxi). I would definitely come back to the hotel at my next visit to Phnom Penh... as long as they keep their facilities and service at this cost.

It was relaxing, comfortable, and enjoyable. Internet acccess is available either in the lobby or in the room. Food service is well served at the restaurant with a variety of foods. Coffee corner provides tasty drink. The sky bar is a wonderful place on the top of the hotel with a fantastic view of the city. The gym, spa, sonar, and swing poll are well served and equipped. All staff are helpful and friendly. It would be strongly recommended that it is considered one of the top recommended hotels in Phnom Penh.

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the Sofitel is by far the best hotel in Phnom Penh. It is new, it is definitely a luxury hotel,and the rooms are spacious and exceptional well fitted out. The hotel also has a number of really good resturants.The hotel is also very well located and only minutes away from the river where the nightlife of Phnom Penh is with lots of bars and eating establishments. It is also very close to the casino. I will definitely not consider staying anywhere else in Phnom Penh.

Lovely modern interiors/exteriors but retaining a classical period charm with an indisputable French feel to the establishment. Rooms cater for longer term residents with kitchen/cooking facilities. Views sumptuous from balconies over Phnom Penh from a quiet and safe side street. Only minor quibble would be breakfast, lack of fruit varieties on offer (no mangos , papayas, bananas which are plentiful in Cambodia), and although attempting to cater for both Asians and Western tastes, the offering somehow didn't get it right either way as it was trying to please all tastes. Definitely a breakfast more geared up for European sensibilities - croissant, yoghurts, wheat cereal etc. Fried Rice and Egg noodles both disappointing. No evening restaurant service but plenty of choice in Phnom Penh and delivery to room feasible. Khmer staff extremely welcoming, courteous and friendly. Would stay again and recommend.

This hotel is my go to hotel in Phnom Penh. I have stayed in many high class hotels but this is the one that has the cleanest rooms and the most amazing staff. They will always accommodate your requests and are always making sure your stay is comfortable. It's not in the tourist area which is way better because you're not assaulted by tuk tuk and Moto drivers when you walk out the door but there are plenty of tuk tuks around to take. I recommend this hotel 100 percent.

Our stay at the hotel was awesome! Fantastic pool on ground level, spa and roof top bar with the view of the city was excellent. The breakfast food, service and presentation was of high quality. Our room was clean and the bed comfortable. The staff were friendly from the moment we arrived until we checked out. Any request or question was dealt with immediately and nothing was too much trouble. The location to the Russian market was good, a 5 minute walk. We would def go back to the hotel next time we are in Phnom Penh.

I live in Cambodia and have visited Phnom Penh many times. I have actually walked past the Frangipani numerous times, but didn't notice it. It's location couldn't be any better for my interests. From the minute I walked into the lobby I was struck by the thoughtfulness of the designer. Much attention was given to the importance of light. This is true in the lobby, our particular room, the restaurant and even the rooftop pool area. For instance, our room had only one standard window, but the amount of natural light in the room was wonderful. On the other hand, in the evening the ceiling lights were kind of subdued which promoted a feeling of relaxation when the guest might have returned after a long day doing tourist activities or attending business meetings. The staff were politely friendly and eager to help. The pool is a good size and there are blooming frangipani trees all around the deck.....you could smell their wonderful aroma. There is also a small (6pp?) Jacuzzi next to the main pool. Our WiFi, bathroom features, cable TV and refrigerator were fine. The breakfast was buffet which is not my cup of tea, so to speak, but the quality of the food they offered was above average, in my opinion. You can't beat the location. The Frangipani is less than 100 meters from the National Museum, the Royal Palace grounds, several interesting art galleries and the Riverfront with its many restaurants and nightlife venues. All in all, the Frangipani became my favorite hotel to stay at when I'm in Phnom Penh, it's a great value. ONE TIP: Our room (#705) is just below part of the breakfast buffet in the morning. Around 10:00 P.M. the staff were moving furniture to set up the buffet for the morning and it was noisy for maybe 10 minutes. It didn't bother us, but you might keep it in mind if noise is a problem for you.

Its not cheap, but its worth it! Its simply the best hotel in Phnom Penh. The staff is really the best I have seen. They all knew my name and greeted me most of the time. My shoes were shined and newspaper was always there. They made my reservations and rely took care of everything. We ate in the hotel restaurant and it was really beautiful. Again, if your looking for a cheap budget hotel, this is NOT it. If you don't mind paying for the best, then your at the right place. Its really a beautiful hotel. Would definitely recommend it.

We have stayed at a few of the high class hotels in Phnom Penh as we live here and stay at the local hotels now and then for a get-a-way. This one is my favorite for a few reasons. The suites make you feel like you have a home away from home. The balcony is perfect for morning breezes off the river. The open floor plan does not allow you to feel that you are in a typical hotel but more like a tropical resort. Welcome juice, along with welcome cocktail made our first few hours excellent. The weight room has all the most modern equipment and the locker room was lovely. The breakfast was delicious and the restaurant was bright and lovely with views of the river. I love the openness of the lobby giving it a tropical feel. The new cafe has a bookshop/coffee shop feel and was very comfortable with great books to check out for your stay. The only downfall was the pool. It was crowded and not very attractive. ALso the water was very warm so it was not refreshing. But overall, I will choose this resort over the others in Phnom Penh for our next getaway

I have stayed at many of the hotels in Phnom Penh, including all of the big name hotels. A few years ago I stayed in the White Mansion Boutique Hotel, and I decided to never stay in any other hotel in Phnom Penh ever again. The White Mansion Hotel is the best in PP, and it is the little touches they add to your stay that make it such a memorable experience such as the essential oil infused towels, scent diffuser in the rooms, turn down service, warm and wonderful staff, welcome drink and cold towel, beautiful serene pool, and the best breakfast you can get in SE Asia at the in-house Eric Kaiser bakery. I cannot day enough good things about the breakfast there!!! White Mansion has my loyalty for life.

A small boutique hotel with very helpful staff. The staff are professional and quite receptive to the needs of the clients. Breakfast is good but it could be improved since most of its main meals were rice based perhaps catering to its clients choices. Had meal in the restaurant but stayed with Asian and local fav and these were excellent. Management was exceptional and even offered a free transfer to the airport. The location is rather isolated however this is easily compensated by the fact there is mall close by. Not a problem get around in Phnom Penh.

We booked our stay here for a brief respite from the city where we work, without having to leave the city. We enjoyed the greenery and the garden feel to the outside space. The pool is very nice even though it's located in front of the hotel, by the main entrance. The artwork throughout the building is tasteful and pleasing. The breakfast buffet is quite nice and offers a wide variety of choices. The rooms are very nice, the bed comfortable. I especially liked the shower - the water comes out of the ceiling! It's like a waterfall. There are sufficient electrical outlets throughout the room. The WiFi was good, but sometimes faded, depending on where we were in the room, and which device we were using. We would've appreciated more places to put luggage and our stuff (like tables or luggage stands). There could've also been more places to hang wet towels and clothes. But, for a small hotel in Phnom Penh, this place is above average for the price range of their rooms. We will definitely consider staying here again, and would not have any reservations in recommending this hotel to anyone.

We live right in the hustle and bustle of Phnom Penh. Usually, to get away from the concrete jungle we would stay in sleepy Kep province. However, we only had one day to get away and we didn't want to spend or time away travelling, so we opted to stay somewhere close by. This hotel is close enough to the city that it is easily accessible, but it's also far enough away that we felt we were 'away' from the city. It was a great place to relax and recharge. The food here is some of the best I've eaten and the rooms were very large and clean. We stayed in the courtyard suite, The bathroom was luxurious and relaxing and we really liked the courtyard with sunbed. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.
