I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, overlooking a beautiful pool surrounded by frangipani blossoms. The service was fantastic, although a bit grumpy at times, with helpful and friendly staff making my birthday special. The location was great, close to Wat Phnom, offering a relaxing atmosphere with delightful cocktails and entertainment. The dining experience was exceptional, with a variety of delicious options for everyone to enjoy.
Staying at this hotel was like stepping into a world of colonial decadence combined with a sophisticated continental vibe. The rooms were fab, with a touch of elegance and a cozy atmosphere when the blinds were closed. They were quiet, well air-conditioned, and featured a stand-alone Victorian-style bath and shower. Although the location required a tuk-tuk or taxi to get around, the overall experience was very good.
The hotel offers spacious and comfortable bungalow-style rooms overlooking a pool through a beautiful curtain of frangipani blossom, though the thin walls may be a concern for light sleepers. The service is impeccable with friendly staff helpful in arranging everything for a delightful stay. The location, while not central, provides a relaxing atmosphere for guests, with excellent dining options nearby. The dining experience is exceptional, offering delicious and fresh choices, including a delightful breakfast. The facilities are well-maintained and cater to a variety of needs.
The hotel room I stayed in was overall pleasant, but could be better. The spacious and comfortable room had thin walls, which could be annoying if your neighbor is a light sleeper. The noise from traffic in the mornings and evenings was also noticeable, but the inner courtyard room helped avoid most of it.
