Perfect Room Setup!

I stayed in a lovely upper-floor single room during my visit, and I was pleasantly surprised by how spacious and well-appointed it was! The room came equipped with all the essentials; the air conditioning worked perfectly and provided a cozy atmosphere. I appreciated the local dessert that was presented in my room every evening, which added a good local touch to my stay. It was a quiet haven to retreat to after exciting days.

This hotel is a peaceful retreat away from the hustle of Phnom Penh, featuring beautiful grounds and a lovely pool area.

The hotel offers stunning views and a luxurious atmosphere that feels like a Hollywood film set. The service is attentive, and little touches like complimentary fruit and sorbets enhance the experience. However, the room I stayed in was quite small and lacked certain amenities, which detracted a bit from my comfort. Additionally, the unexpected credit card surcharge at checkout was frustrating, though the overall value for money was decent considering the breathtaking location.
