First-time visitors who want to walk to the Royal Palace and the National Museum are the obvious match. Couples will like the rooftop pool, and the property lists family rooms for those travelling with children.
If every euro counts, our Budget pick cost about half as much. If you want the highest score in the city and money is no object, our Luxury pick scored 9.4. Otherwise there are few reasons to skip this one.
Location and getting around
The hotel is on Long Nget St. (258), in the Daun Penh district, with a location score of 9.6.
The Royal Palace of Cambodia is about 0.5 km away, roughly 6 minutes on foot. The National Museum of Cambodia is about 0.8 km, around 10 minutes. Wat Phnom is 2.1 km, about 26 minutes. These are straight-line estimates, so real walks will be longer.
Guests say transport services offered through the hotel can be expensive. Compare prices before you book a ride through the front desk.
What guests say
The rooftop pool is the standout. Guests describe an infinity-style pool on the 12th floor with panoramic views over the city and the river.
The team also gets warm comments: friendly, helpful people, a good welcome and attentive service.
The complaint is about extras. Room rates are seen as reasonable, but food and transport services are sometimes considered expensive.

Why it made our top 3
We compared 17 eligible hotels in Phnom Penh, a large sample. This one ranked joint sixth on guest score, but it pairs 9.2 with almost 3,000 reviews and a price well under the median. That is exactly the balance our Best Value slot looks for.
