The room was not worth $10 though it had a private bathroom with fan. The bed mattress was infested with bed bugs, I got bitten all over my body, developed a fever and became ill because of the bug bites. The Owner wanted me to pay him $40 for a proof of accommodation letter which I needed to extend my Cambodian Visa and when I chose not to pay him, he refused to provide me with any proof of accommodation documents resulting in me not extending my visa which in hindsight was a blessing in disguise. The location is good, close to Orussey Market, pharmacies, Main Road for bus stops. I would not recommend this guest house unless you are on a very tight budget.

This hotel if full of bedbucks, I couldn't sleep because of bed bugs bites the day I booked a room here. Old model and unworking TVs. However the staff is so friendly.

Tell your cleaning service, never steal something that doesn't belong to them. We left several things that we forgot to bring, but at that time we asked again about what we had left behind, he only gave us things that were about to run out, such as toothpaste and shampoo, even though we put all our things together, we just forgot to take them, until we looked in the trash we found only a few things that other people couldn't use, like our toothbrush. he took the other, it's not about how good the item is, but prioritizing honesty with your employees. We want to explain but no body can speak english even the owner lol.

Friendly family people run this cheap guesthouse, which is rather dated and rough around the edges but had everything I wanted. Good wifi, drinks available, quiet. Not the cleanest place you can stay but an authentic stay in Phnom Penh in a good location. Really enjoyed my stay.

A quiet and modest hotel in a good location. Bathroom in the room. Basic equipment. Nice rooftop terrace overlooking the city. Inconveniences are stuffy rooms despite fan, window close to next building. Good price. The owners are extremely nice, smiling and very helpful 🙂

HighGround Sky Bar

Bars 886 m 11 min walk 4.7/5 on Google

HighGround Sky Bar is 886 m south-east of Grey Guesthouse — about 11 minutes on foot. It is the closest place to the hotel under “bars”.

The next two places under “bars” from Grey Guesthouse are Bassac Lane (1.5 km) and The WATERS Pub and Eatery (2.0 km), so there is a choice within a few minutes.

HighGround Sky Bar occupies the top of Amass Tower on Street 63 and serves drinks and food with a 360-degree view of Phnom Penh's skyline. The bar operates from 5:00 PM to 2:00 AM daily, making it accessible for evening drinks through to late night. The setting is designed for relaxation, with visitors describing the atmosphere as quiet and comfortable rather than loud or club-like.

Visitors consistently praise the city views, particularly on clear nights when the panorama across Phnom Penh becomes the draw. The drinks receive positive mention across reviews, with at least one visitor calling a cocktail made by staff member Anna the best they'd ever had. Service gets regular compliments, and the bar's staff—including Manager Paul—are noted for professionalism and attentiveness. The food menu appears adequately executed; one visitor noted it looked appealing and tasted good, though another suggested the dishes were pleasant but not standout enough to remember. Prices for food and drinks are described as reasonable. No significant complaints appear in the reviews, though the food is clearly secondary to the drinks and views.

The bar suits visitors wanting a calm evening spot rather than a high-energy night out, and works well for catching up with friends. Clear weather noticeably improves the experience, so checking the forecast before going is worth doing. It's a straightforward choice if you want cocktails and a view rather than a venue focused on nightlife or dining.

LOVE - Phnom Penh

Nightlife 982 m 12 min walk 4.8/5 on Google

LOVE - Phnom Penh is 982 m south-east of Grey Guesthouse — about 12 minutes on foot. It is the closest place to the hotel under “nightlife”.

The next two places under “nightlife” from Grey Guesthouse are Naga World Night Club (2.1 km) and TŌKIO CLUB (2.4 km), so there is a choice within a few minutes.

A late-night club in the Wat Langka area of Phnom Penh, open from 9pm to 4am every night of the week. Inside is a dance floor built for a proper night out, with a mix of international music driving the crowd rather than a quiet lounge setup. It draws a party crowd looking to stay out until sunrise rather than an early-evening drinks spot.

Visitors consistently describe an energetic, packed dance floor and good vibes throughout the night, with several mentioning fair drink prices as a plus rather than a gripe. A recurring theme in the reviews is praise for a particular staff member, Tin Tin, who guests credit repeatedly for making their night memorable, suggesting a level of attentive, personable service that stands out from a typical club experience. No significant complaints appear in the available reviews, though the dance floor being described as busy suggests it can get crowded on popular nights.

This is a late-night destination, not an early or pre-dinner option, so plan to arrive well after 9pm and expect the energy to build as the night goes on, given the 4am close. It suits travellers looking for an international-music dance club with a lively atmosphere rather than a low-key bar. Given the consistent mentions of a crowded dance floor, those who prefer more personal space might find it busiest around peak hours, while groups looking for a high-energy party night in Phnom Penh should find it a solid fit.

Central Market

Markets 1.0 km 13 min walk 4.4/5 on Google

Central Market is 1.0 km north of Grey Guesthouse — about 13 minutes on foot. It is the closest place to the hotel under “markets”.

The other place under “markets” within reach of Grey Guesthouse is Trapang Tloeung Market (7.8 km).

The Central Market is a covered marketplace in central Phnom Penh housed in a distinctive Art Deco building with a 26-metre-high central dome and four arching corridors branching diagonally across the block. Built in 1937, it remains a working market where visitors find fresh produce, clothing, toys, jewelry, souvenirs, and services like haircuts and manicures. The layout is expansive and maze-like, with countless stalls crowded into the hallways.

Visitors consistently praise the variety of goods available and the affordability of prices, which remain negotiable. Many note that staff are helpful when shoppers appear lost, and several appreciate the building's distinctive architecture and local atmosphere. However, reviews also flag practical concerns: ventilation is poor and the interior becomes notably warm, many stalls stock similar items, and goods generally lack price tags, requiring haggling. Some visitors find the experience worthwhile primarily for the building itself rather than the shopping.

The market operates daily from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Arrive early if you prefer cooler conditions and smaller crowds. This suits travellers seeking an authentic local market experience and those interested in Art Deco architecture, though it is less ideal if you dislike bargaining or heat. Allow time to navigate the corridors without rushing; a casual wander works better here than targeted shopping, since finding specific items can be difficult.

Independence Monument

Sights 1.2 km 15 min walk 4.5/5 on Google

Independence Monument is 1.2 km south-east of Grey Guesthouse — about 15 minutes on foot. It is the closest place to the hotel under “sights”.

The next two places under “sights” from Grey Guesthouse are Statue of His Majesty Preah Bat Samdech Preah Norodom Sihanouk (1.4 km) and Royal Palace of Cambodia (1.5 km), so there is a choice within a few minutes.

The Independence Monument is a 20-meter tall sandstone tower in the heart of Phnom Penh, built in 1958 to mark Cambodia's independence from France in 1953. Shaped like a blooming lotus bud—a symbol of purity in Khmer culture—the monument stands in a roundabout surrounded by a park area with open space and views across the city. The site is accessible around the clock and sits on Norodom Boulevard in central Phnom Penh.

Visitors consistently praise the monument as an ideal spot for evening visits, when it is illuminated with golden lighting and draws both locals and travellers to the surrounding area. The square becomes a peaceful gathering place at night, and the cool breeze from the nearby riverfront makes it pleasant for walking or sitting. Early morning visits offer fewer crowds and good photography conditions. Guests note the monument's impressive carved details and its prominence as a recognizable city landmark, though some mention the busy traffic roundabout surrounding it.

The site works best as an evening or early morning visit if you prefer quieter conditions. There is no entrance fee and the grounds are open at all hours, making it flexible to fit into any itinerary. Bring a camera if you want to capture the lit monument at night or get clear shots in the early morning. It suits anyone wanting a short outdoor stop in central Phnom Penh that connects history, local atmosphere, and city views without requiring much time or advance planning.

Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum

Museums & galleries 1.3 km 16 min walk 4.6/5 on Google

Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum is 1.3 km south of Grey Guesthouse — about 16 minutes on foot. It is the closest place to the hotel under “museums & galleries”.

The next two places under “museums & galleries” from Grey Guesthouse are National Museum of Cambodia (1.3 km) and SOSORO - Preah Srey Içanavarman Museum (1.7 km), so there is a choice within a few minutes.

Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum occupies the compound of a former Khmer Rouge prison and interrogation center in central Phnom Penh. Visitors move through classroom buildings that once held prisoners, viewing photographs, documents, and personal belongings. The museum preserves the physical space where tens of thousands were detained and interrogated during the late 1970s. The building itself—with its sparse rooms and recording equipment still visible—forms part of the historical record.

Most visitors describe the experience as deeply moving and historically significant. Many emphasize that an audio guide, available for an additional five dollars, substantially enhances the visit by providing context and detailed accounts of individual prisoners' stories. Visitors consistently note the emotional weight of encountering thousands of mugshots displayed on the walls—each photograph representing a person who was numbered and catalogued before execution. Some mention that despite the audio guide's quality, certain details about the violence were not included, which a few visitors felt limited their understanding of what occurred. Occasionally, visitors report meeting survivors on site, a rare opportunity that deepens the experience beyond the museum's physical contents.

The museum is open daily from 8 AM to 5 PM and charges a five dollar entrance fee. Most visitors recommend allowing several hours for a thorough visit, particularly if using the audio guide. This is a site focused on historical education and remembrance rather than entertainment; it suits visitors seeking to understand Cambodia's recent history and those interested in genocide studies and remembrance. Many note the visit is emotionally demanding but consider it an important part of understanding Cambodia's past.

306 Khema Steakhouse

Restaurants 1.3 km 16 min walk 4.6/5 on Google

306 Khema Steakhouse is 1.3 km south-east of Grey Guesthouse — about 16 minutes on foot. It is the closest place to the hotel under “restaurants”.

The next two places under “restaurants” from Grey Guesthouse are Xiao Ge Hot Pot - Boeung Keng Kang (1.5 km) and Pizza 4P's 313 Quayside (1.6 km), so there is a choice within a few minutes.

306 Khema Steakhouse sits on Street 306 in Phnom Penh and specializes in premium Wagyu beef. The restaurant operates under multiple identities—it functions simultaneously as a steakhouse, sushi restaurant, and bakery—though the focus remains on meat. The space is described as intimate and boutique-style, with an on-site dry-aging facility. Beyond steaks, the menu includes burgers served with fries and other cuts like T-bone Angus and lamb chops.

Visitors consistently praise the quality of the meat itself, noting it is fresh and cooked to the specification ordered. The Kampot pepper sauce appears frequently in feedback as a distinctive local addition that complements the Wagyu well. Service receives strong marks, with staff described as calm, friendly, and attentive. Some diners note the experience feels somewhat incomplete—one visitor mentioned being served steak with no sides and seeing sourdough images on walls but no bread offered, despite the bakery operations. Another remarked on the confusion created by the restaurant's multiple trading names and identities. The regular burger offerings are mentioned favorably, though they are not the primary draw.

The restaurant opens daily from 11:45 AM to 9:30 PM, Monday through Saturday (Sunday hours are not listed). It suits diners seeking a quieter, high-end setting focused on premium beef rather than a social dining experience. The lack of consistent sides or bread service suggests going with clear expectations about what you are ordering. Given the boutique scale and specialization, booking ahead is likely wise, particularly for groups or special occasions.

National Museum of Cambodia

Museums & galleries 1.3 km 16 min walk 4.2/5 on Google

National Museum of Cambodia is 1.3 km north-east of Grey Guesthouse — about 16 minutes on foot.

The next two places under “museums & galleries” from Grey Guesthouse are Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (1.3 km) and SOSORO - Preah Srey Içanavarman Museum (1.7 km), so there is a choice within a few minutes.

The National Museum of Cambodia occupies a 1920s building designed in the style of a Khmer temple, located on Preah Ang Eng Street in Phnom Penh. Inside, the museum displays traditional Khmer art, religious artifacts, and sculptures spanning Cambodia's history. The collection includes pieces preserved specifically to protect them from damage, such as artifacts not kept at temples in Siem Reap. Among its notable holdings is a bell that came from the Cathedral of Phnom Penh before its destruction during the Khmer Rouge period. A central courtyard garden provides a quiet space within the museum grounds.

Visitors consistently praise the architecture and the peaceful atmosphere of the building and grounds. Many find the exhibitions well organized and appreciate learning about Cambodian culture and history through the displays, particularly the Angkor-era sculptures. The museum shop sells high-quality gifts with staff who explain the meanings of items, though prices are noticeably higher than elsewhere. Some visitors note that while the museum is informative, the information cards accompanying displays are occasionally sparse or can contain interpretative inconsistencies.

The museum is open daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Admission is 4500 riel (approximately 10 USD). Most visitors spend around an hour exploring the collections. It suits anyone seeking an introduction to Khmer history and culture in a contemplative setting, and works well as a cultural primer before visiting temples elsewhere in Cambodia.

Statue of His Majesty Preah Bat Samdech Preah Norodom Sihanouk is 1.4 km east of Grey Guesthouse — about 17 minutes on foot. It is among the three closest places to the hotel under “sights”.

The next two places under “sights” from Grey Guesthouse are Independence Monument (1.2 km) and Royal Palace of Cambodia (1.5 km), so there is a choice within a few minutes.

This memorial park in central Phnom Penh features a bronze statue of Norodom Sihanouk, Cambodia's late "King Father," standing 4.5 metres tall beneath a traditional Khmer-style stupa that reaches 27 metres high. The statue depicts him in a modern business suit rather than royal dress. Built in 2013, the monument commemorates Sihanouk's role in liberating Cambodia from French colonialism on November 9, 1953. The site sits near the Independence Monument, allowing visitors to see both landmarks in one visit.

Visitors describe the memorial as a pleasant, walkable space where families and friends gather. The monument itself is noted for its neat carving and striking appearance. People appreciate the opportunity to observe local life here, though some suggest visiting in the afternoon to avoid the intense midday heat and to capture better photographs. The site is also worth seeing at night when it is lit up, offering a different perspective on the structure.

The park is open 24 hours daily and accessible year-round, though the afternoon visits tend to be more comfortable. Reaching it requires navigating busy surrounding roads, which some visitors find challenging. The memorial suits those interested in recent Cambodian history and royal monuments, or anyone spending time in central Phnom Penh who wants to understand the country's modern heritage.
