    To improve maybe is the small room outside the Suite left with leaves of the tree. In Bathroom no sanitary kit like shaving kit or toothbrush while announced on paper in the room.

    High standards of equipments in the Suite, very comfortable bed and spacious bathroom, very quite area, view on the river, excellent food. Good food in restaurant with large choice of wine

    Calm, peaceful and remote. The rooms were extremely comfortable, the bathroom was lovely and the staff were amazing. From the moment you arrive to the property to the time you check-out, the staff ensures you are given the best attention and service. The breakfast was top notch, dinner and lunch at the restaurant were also great with a decent number of menu options. The pool was refreshing and the views of the Mekong river made it all the more special. Would highly recommend this property to anyone on holiday in Phnom Penh. We would definitely love to come back the next time we are in Phnom Penh.

    AC was a little loud and didn't cool enough. And no roller curtain in the bathroom as the sunlight was coming in to the bathtub. Would have been more comfortable with a curtain on bathroom window. The couch wasn't comfortable for sitting. It was more like for lying down. Would be great if there was a comfortable reading or rocking chair.

    Spacious room and extremely quiet. Excellent breakfast and great service staff.

    Amazing short break - just far enough out of the city centre to feel like really being away. We were staying as a bday gift for my partner and could not have asked for more! Staff are incredibly attentive and we had a private dinner in our room courtyard that was personalised. I’d recommend the private dining experience for any occasion. The breakfast in the restaurant was absolutely delicious and so many options to choose! Excellent quality food and beverages all round. We stayed in a courtyard room that was comfortable and well decorated. The amenities were fabulous. We felt very treated, and will definitely be back!

    We did order the special dinner for our anniversary. At the time we ordered we did not realize that all the options for this special dinner were normal options on the regular dinner menu. We thought the food was going to be something special that was not on the standard menu. We requested the candlelight dinner on our balcony. There were no decorations or candles set up for the dinner. Not very romantic.

    Staff was wonderful. Atmosphere and view was great. Food was excellent.
