We stayed here at the end of our tour of Cambodia. We stayed at five star properties the whole trip and were frankly underwhelmed by Raffles in comparison. Essentially, it was the low season and they were short staffed. Concierge was often unattended, not enough staff around the pool that was often occupied with max guests. For the price we paid (for a shockingly small room that they advertised as a suite) we felt that the attentiveness to us as guest staying for four nights was lacking.
In a more positive note, staying at Raffles is like stepping back in time and the actual building and the grounds and decor is lovely to spend time around. It’s just a bit soulless when it comes to the service.
It is always a treat to stay at the lovely historic Hotel Le Royal. The design details, the breakfast, the stunning pool, and the Elephant Bar are highlights.
Incredible — this is more like the Raffles in Singapore (super chic and perfect attention to details) and is vastly superior to the Raffles in SR, which has tacky paintings in the the lobby.
An exceptional hotel with lovely amenities and very friendly and helpful staff. Nicely located. The hotel will recommend a walking tour of the area, will call you a tuk tuk, and will arrange for a hotel car and driver and local guide to give you a private tour.
Vi havde 3 fantastiske dage på Raffels - lækkert værelse med terrasse ud til pool område. Skønne senge med dejligt stort badeværelse.
Pool området var skønt og lækkert hvor der hele dagen igennem blev serveret og var gratis vand.
Morgenmaden er en magisk og lækker oplevelse.
Hotellet ligger centralt og vi havde den allerbedste oplevelse.
Hotel is beautiful. Old colonial style. Very clean and comfortable. Excellent breakfast.
Staff are superb, warm and friendly. Bed is one of the best as was the shower.
Effortless splendor. One of the best hotels in the far east. By far. Friendly and effective team. The colonial feel pervades throughout without being stuffy. Great cigar room and splendid bar. Pool is first class in beautiful gardens. An all rounder
