Very warm welcome on arrival, lovely room and great stay generally. We stayed 2 nights and opted for breakfast inclusive which was a fabulous experience. The buffet offers everything and anything you might want for breakfast, very impressive set up and a delicious pastry selection.

The Bridge Club
Reasonable rate with breakfast included so that was a bonus. Not the cleanest condition though and when we asked for towels and toilet paper they only brought two towels for the 4 of us… and no toilet paper so we had to buy our own.

Somerset Norodom Phnom Penh
The room was nice and appeared newly built. However, the bathroom had a very bad smell. The mattresses were extremely hard it felt like I was sleeping on the floor!
