We were a group of 7 girls that booked to stay in the dorm room for 3 nights. On arrival we were all split up into different private rooms that resembled windowless prison cells. It was easy to look past this at first because we weren't planning on spending much time in the room and we were quite impressed with... More

I stayed here for a week a year or so ago. The rooms were very average, and had a terrible odour coming from the bathroom. The room was not cleaned once during my stay, even after I mentioned the foul smell. The rooftop bar was a good place to hang out and meet people, although the food was not great... More

I didn't stay here, but I visited for a friends night out. The service in the rooftop bar was dreadful. First the staff short-changed my friend after she ordered beer - this is a common form of theft in bad places here. Always check your change carefully. There are 4000 riels to the dollar. Then I ordered a fish burger... More

Avoid the food here at all costs. I didn't stay at the hotel, i just stopped in for the chicken kebab special, my hotel was 30 feet away. It tasted ok but about 4 hours later I got violently sick, with diahrrea and vomiting, cold chills and hot flashes... I wasn't able to leave my hotel room for 24 hours... More

We stayed there with some friends and were very disappointed. I think it is my worst experience of a guesthouse / hotel. As soon as we arrived there was a problem with the reservation. The rooms we had booked were not available and we were asked to pay extras. The only positive aspect is that the atmosphere on the rooftop... More
