Is noted parking available and is it really was not parking I had to jump up to curbs on my big bike in order to get inside for security. Frankly the biggest problem I had was waking up in the morning the room was extremely perfume fragrance and I don't know if that was for the smell or bug killer that I felt ill and had a migraine headache as soon as I went outside it was getting better breakfast was very minimal and actually I hate to say it but the orange juice was old and turn bad ##### Scott Stayed 1 night in Jul 2020 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charlotte Apr 6, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing discovery Due to the recent events in the world, we ended at Nicole and Stephane's place. We were immediately feeling better, Stephane and Nicole and their staff took care of us like if we were part of the family. The hotel is located in an area without works so you can have a good sleep. We will go back for sure, food and pool were also great, so many good memories and laugh in this difficult times. GO 252!!!! ##### Charlotte Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2020 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andy Nov 29, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had a warm, kind, professional greeting from the receptionist. Because we were obviously hot we were given a cold towel to refresh ourselves. We should have paid £48.86($63.19) but because we have Expedia Rewards points, the price was £34.92($45.16). The room was clean, as was the toilet and shower room. A/C was great. The bed was firm. The food was great. The hotel is less than a ten minute walk to the Eclipse Bar and a twenty-five minute walk to the Royal Palace. The hotel has its own tuk-tuk. I've stayed in five star hotels. I got what I paid for. This hotel is great. ##### Andy Stayed 1 night in Nov 2019 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Jarrett Aug 30, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely property & staff, but improvements needed Lovely property and a kind staff. Staffing did seem to be limited, though, and business seemed to cater more to outside guests coming for a meal and a swim; all staff were performing multiple roles. The property is lovely and clean, but some of the rooms could use a good updating—and a refocus on hotel guests. ##### Jarrett Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2019 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Aug 26, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The place was great!

Actual worst experience ever! I stayed 3 weeks in Cambodia, went to 4 cities this was my 4th hotel and was the only hotel I complained about. Everything about this hotel is super cheap and expensive for no reason. The hotel power went out on us twice (pitch dark)! And the AC was not working properly. I called the owner up twice and she denies it and said it was working fine. (She turns off your AC when you take a quick stroll outside and tries to tell you she has a computer that automatically turns it off) Mind you this was our 4th hotel of the trip and all the other hotels AC worked fine so we would know if it was working or not. This experience was so horrible, it was so hot and went the lights went out the second time I booked another hotel at 10pm and just left. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2019 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jul 26, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Schöner Pool, grosses und ruhiges Zimmer, freundliches Personal und zentral gelegen ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2019 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Alex May 27, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great find Stephanie and her team went out of their way to be helpful and assist us.

That aside, it is close to downtown and the owner is super helpful and friendly. ##### Grace Stayed 1 night in Apr 2019 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jan 24, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Excellent Breakfast at the hotel and if you are adventurous try the Thai food just 100 meters from the hotel .At the entrance of the hotel turn left , its next to a guest house .

There is a pool at the entrance and a bar/restaurant next to that. We enjoyed our Khmer tastier dinner and breakfast was tasty too. However, portions were small, only one piece of bacon and a tiny amount of butter and jam, we did ask for some more but even so there was barely enough for our bread rolls. Our room, 20, was comfortable and spacious with a large bathroom. It was on the top floor with no lift but it wasn’t a problem as we were helped with our bags on arrival. It would have been good if the air conditioning had been running before we arrived at the room as it took quite a while to cool down. The staff were polite and helpful on the whole. They arranged for a transfer to the airport which was reasonably priced. Overall a good overnight stay. ##### Judith and Colin Stayed 1 night in Dec 2018 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Arthur Dec 28, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Owner is German Swiss who speaks German, French and English; thus hotel is European quality.

The hotel reached out to us before we arrived to arrange a pick up at the airport. We arrived very late to the airport, after midnight, and the driver was waiting for us and the hotel staff we very friendly when we arrived. The rooms are clean and quiet, and the hotel is refreshing. The location was very convenient and we were able to arrange for tuk tuks at the hotel to take day trips downtown and out of town. This was our first time in Cambodia and we loved our stay here and would highly recommend staying here.
