Just back, great location in Sisowath Quay. Walked to restaurants and Royal Palace, hired tuk-tuk from hotel to go to Killing Fields and Tuol Sleng Museum ($12 for 4 hours). When we wanted a rest from walking around all day, it was a great location for a 1-2 hour rest and off again! Rooms "tired", 1 double and one singe bed in room, not visably dirty however when I noticed blood stains on the bedspread, they took it away. Casino in lobby.
Paid $55/night for riverside room. Name has changed to Khmerroyal Hotel (web: www.khmeroyalhotel@yahoo.com, [--]or khmeroyalhotel.com)

We had a great time here and they accommodated us well. Our Cambodian friends negotiated the price - Americans will pay more, as with most things in Cambodia - negotiation is possible. We paid 35.00/night for a group. It is in an ideal location - the river is across the street, it is walking distance to many sites, and the tuk-tuk drivers can take you anywhere you want to go. Internet is slow and expensive - go down the street. There is a "Massage by the Blind" around the corner - don't miss that! It is safest if you plan to be in before 10:00 pm. We liked the breakfasts - and they will do eggs to please :) The best thing here was the restaurant is on the roof-top - so you eat every morning watching the boats in the river, seeing the sun rise, and the folks doing thai-chi across the street. Sip your tea, relax, and enjoy your visit!

Great location- restaurants, bars, royal palace just minutes away on foot.
The hotel is clean. Staff are friendly and helpful. Rooms have Tv, en suite, two double beds etc. Decor is tired and breakfast not great.
But its location makes up for any deficiencies.

Booking -- 3 nights in March 2007
Didn't have any reservation. Bargained with a staff manager at the desk. Got a riverside room for USD40 a night instead of 60USD.
Breakfast was included.

Location -- The hotel is very well located on the living area of Sisowtah quay.
Restaurants and Bars are right outside including the famous FCC at 50 meters.
5 min-walk to the royal palace, the national museum and the souvenir shops.

Room -- Average, but clean room on first floor.
Nice view on Sisowath Quay and the river.
The room is clean but has no charm. Although clean everything is old and used: I asked my bed to be re-made because the bed sheet was torn.

The king size bed is comfortable.
No in-room safe, only the safe at the lobby.

The bathroom is clean but towels are also very used.

The Air con lacks of power: 20 mins before the room is at good temperature. The Air con must be set to minimum temperature (16°C) all the way.
Several power-shortages occured during my stay, the air con doesn't restart automatically, really annoying while sleeping.

Breakfast -- Breaskfast is taken on the top floor of the hotel. A few choice of meals and the taste is below average.
I only ate there the first morning. Gone elsewhere the following mornings.

Staff -- The staff is friendly and helpful.

Summary -- I was told the hotel was only about 5 year-old but it looked much older to me. Very used but clean.
For a basic rate of USD60 a night I think you pay more for the excellent location of the hotel than the hotel itself.
Even for the rate I bargained (USD40) I'm wandering if it does worth the price.
