This was my first five star hotel experience and it was unforgettable. We paid $130/night for the palace view and the view was spectacular. When we entered the building we were welcomed with a tea that was super delicious. After the lady gave us a full tour of the hotel and its amenities. She directed us on what we could utilize in the room and how we could make bookings for the spa. Our hotel stay included breakfast and it was wonderful. The breakfast was a buffet in the morning and had a multitude of options. My favorite was the wrap that they had and a chicken fried sandwich. It was delicious. It was like a brunch buffet and you could eat as much as possible. We skipped lunch a lot because of this breakfast. The pool was also beautiful. You have massaging fountains pouring into the pool that just feel so delightful on your back. The pool is also massive so it’s great for doing laps and there is wonderful poolside service. They hand you towels. You can get water and even poolside snacks for a fee of course. The room service was also wonderful. They came twice a day to make sure our room was made and ready for sleeping. It was awesome as we also had welcome fruit. They really made sure we felt all the hospitality we could. The spa was also wonderful. We chose to get the coconut oil massage for 90 min as there was a 20% reduction. It was wonderful and I literally fell asleep during it. That’s how relaxing it was. You are treated so well here. They tend to the needs you didn’t

Beautiful and luxurious hotel. It's almost like your stepping into a palace. The rooms are set well and clean. The hotel is centrally located and at a short walking distance from tourist attractions. The Sky bar is beautiful and serves great drinks

The property is great, and the pool area is simply beautiful. Breakfast was excellent, and they even had clearly labeled vegan options. The service was very attentive and helpful, and the location is perfect quiet yet right next to the Royal Palace. However, for a 5-star hotel, the rooms were a huge letdown. While the decor was nice and beautiful, the room smelled strongly of a damp cellar, to the point where it could give you a headache. Unfortunately, the air conditioning was also noticeably moldy. It was okay for just one night, but I wouldn't have stayed any longer in that room.

Staying at Palace Gate Hotel & Resort by EHM was truly a memorable and heartfelt experience for my family. From the moment I arrived, I felt a sense of calm and comfort that made it easy to relax and fully enjoy my stay. The room was beautifully prepared, very clean, and thoughtfully designed, which made me feel both welcomed and well cared for. The ambiance of the hotel is something special peaceful, elegant, and full of charm creating the perfect atmosphere to unwind. What touched me the most was the overall experience, from the delicious food to the wonderful breakfast, especially the coffee, which was simply fantastic and something I looked forward to each morning. I and my family genuinely felt happy and refreshed during our stay, and I’m truly grateful for such a wonderful experience. I will definitely carry these beautiful memories with me and look forward to returning again.

It’s feel like you’re entering a palace, the vibe is different from other hotel. Quit unique full of ancient status, paintings and other decorative objects. It will make you feel peace and calm. Their service is great, the food also testy. They have 4 buildings and one of it is more than 100 years old. Great and unique experience.

Wat Botum Park

Parks & nature 194 m 2 min walk 4.4/5 on Google

Wat Botum Park is 194 m south-west of Palace Gate Hotel & Resort by EHM — about 2 minutes on foot. It is the closest place to the hotel under “parks & nature”.

The next two places under “parks & nature” from Palace Gate Hotel & Resort by EHM are Royal Palace Park (391 m) and Riverside (1.1 km), so there is a choice within a few minutes.

Wat Botum Park is a large public green space in central Phnom Penh that combines open grounds with an active Buddhist temple complex. The park sits on Samdach Sothearos Boulevard and is open around the clock. Within its grounds stands the Cambodia-Vietnam Friendship Monument, a substantial concrete structure in socialist realist style featuring statues of soldiers from both nations alongside figures representing civilians. The temple itself contains multiple pagodas, some newly constructed, and visitors report encounters with monks who are willing to show visitors inside buildings not normally open to the public.

Visitors consistently describe the park as clean and well-maintained, with a good atmosphere for evening activity when locals gather to exercise, dance, and play games. The space works well for jogging and casual walking, and public toilets are available for a small fee. However, several visitors mention that air quality can be poor, which some find stressful. The temple draws particular interest from those curious about its religious architecture and the notable presence of what appears to be either a wax figure or preserved remains of a monk displayed in one of the buildings—a detail visitors find distinctly unusual and worth investigating in person.

The park is suitable for morning or evening visits when temperatures are lower and activity levels are higher. Its 24-hour access means you can visit anytime, though the evening hours tend to be most lively. The combination of recreational space, temple grounds, and historical monument makes it worth an hour of exploration if you're based in central Phnom Penh and interested in both local community life and Buddhist architecture.

Royal Palace of Cambodia

Sights 351 m 4 min walk 4.3/5 on Google

Royal Palace of Cambodia is 351 m north-west of Palace Gate Hotel & Resort by EHM — about 4 minutes on foot. It is the closest place to the hotel under “sights”.

The next two places under “sights” from Palace Gate Hotel & Resort by EHM are Statue of His Majesty Preah Bat Samdech Preah Norodom Sihanouk (753 m) and Independence Monument (892 m), so there is a choice within a few minutes.

The Royal Palace of Cambodia is an ornate walled complex in central Phnom Penh, built in the 1860s and rebuilt in the 1920s. Visitors walk through courtyards and pavilions decorated in classical Khmer style, including the Silver Pagoda with its distinctive floor. The king's private residence sits within the grounds but is not open to the public. The compound occupies prime riverfront land between the Mekong and Tonlé Sap rivers.

Guests consistently praise the architecture, gardens, and sense of stepping back in time through well-preserved buildings and grounds. The entrance fee of around USD 10 is generally accepted as fair value, though some visitors question the cost. A notable concern is visitor management: some guests report being rushed through if using a guide, and once you move to a different area, re-entry is not permitted, which can frustrate those wanting to linger or backtrack. Staff professionalism is usually mentioned positively, though isolated incidents of overly strict enforcement around photography rules have been reported.

The palace opens daily from 8 am to 5 pm, though there is a midday break from 11 am to 2 pm. Dress codes are enforced—shoulders and knees must be covered, hats are not allowed, and shoes must be removed inside buildings and temples. Early morning visits on weekends tend to be less crowded. Plan at least two hours if exploring without a guide, and longer if you want to photograph the buildings carefully. It suits visitors interested in Cambodian royal history and Khmer architecture, though those seeking a leisurely, self-paced experience may find the restrictions limiting.

Royal Palace Park

Royal Palace Park is 391 m north-west of Palace Gate Hotel & Resort by EHM — about 5 minutes on foot. It is among the three closest places to the hotel under “parks & nature”.

The next two places under “parks & nature” from Palace Gate Hotel & Resort by EHM are Wat Botum Park (194 m) and Riverside (1.1 km), so there is a choice within a few minutes.

Royal Palace Park in central Phnom Penh is a riverside green space offering views of the Royal Palace and its surrounding architecture, including the Moonlight Pavilion. The park is open twenty-four hours and free to enter. Visitors find pleasant walking paths through maintained gardens, riverside seating areas, and good vantage points for photography. The atmosphere shifts noticeably between day and night: mornings attract those seeking sunrise views and quiet walks, while late afternoon and evening bring families, street food vendors, and performers who gather along the river walk.

Guests consistently praise the park's cleanliness, peaceful setting, and escape from city noise. The views of the royal architecture, especially at sunset, are frequently mentioned as a highlight. The community atmosphere during evening hours appeals to many visitors, with multiple food stalls and activities creating a lively social space. One practical note: some visitors find the adjacent Royal Palace complex itself (with its ticketed areas and temple buildings) worth visiting, though parts may be under construction. Photography is not permitted inside the temples or palace buildings, which some visitors noted as a limitation.

The park suits travellers looking for a free, accessible place to relax or walk. Morning visits work well for those chasing sunrise light and quieter surroundings. Evening visits offer more activity and food options, and the river breezes make it comfortable during hot afternoons. No special preparation is needed for the park itself, though if you plan to enter the paid Royal Palace complex, bring cash for the entrance fee and expect temple photography restrictions.

TUBE Coffee Riverside

Cafés & bakeries 525 m 7 min walk 4.7/5 on Google

TUBE Coffee Riverside is 525 m north-west of Palace Gate Hotel & Resort by EHM — about 7 minutes on foot. It is the closest place to the hotel under “cafés & bakeries”.

The next two places under “cafés & bakeries” from Palace Gate Hotel & Resort by EHM are Moma Bakehouse & Bistro (1.8 km) and Siso Bakery (2.7 km), so there is a choice within a few minutes.

TUBE Coffee Riverside sits on Preah Sisowath Quay with the Tonlé Sap River directly across the road. The café spans two levels and draws crowds for its aesthetic design and riverside views. The menu centres on coffee and fresh juice drinks, with complementary hot and cold water. Service generally moves quickly even when busy, and air conditioning is reliable.

Visitors consistently praise the location, atmosphere, and design. The riverside setting and relaxed ambiance make it popular for both morning coffee and evening drinks before sunset. Coffee drinks, particularly the iced vanilla lattes, receive frequent mention as high quality. However, reviews split on the juice offerings: some find the passion fruit juice too sharp, while others note that drinks appear made with syrups rather than fresh fruit, which affects value given the café's prime location and pricing. Crowding is a genuine concern. Weekend afternoons and evening hours draw heavy traffic, making seating difficult to find despite the spacious two-level layout.

The café opens at 6:30 AM daily and closes at 11:00 PM (closed Sundays according to Google Maps). Visit early morning or mid-afternoon on weekdays if you prefer fewer crowds. The riverside location makes it worth planning ahead rather than dropping in at peak times. It suits those prioritising ambiance and location over experimental drinks, and works well for coffee enthusiasts and those wanting a comfortable spot to watch the river.

BODIA SPA Riverside is 626 m north-west of Palace Gate Hotel & Resort by EHM — about 8 minutes on foot. It is the closest place to the hotel under “spa & wellness”.

The other place under “spa & wellness” within reach of Palace Gate Hotel & Resort by EHM is Bodia Spa BKK1 Phnom Penh (1.8 km).

Set on a corner of Samdach Sothearos Boulevard by the riverside, this spa pairs treatment rooms with a retail counter of its own skincare and body-care products. Visitors mention large, well-appointed rooms, and treatments span coconut oil full-body massage, aromatherapy massages of varying lengths, and combination head, neck and back work. The organic-leaning products used during treatments are also sold on site for those who want to take something home.

Guests consistently praise the therapists as skilled, attentive and professional, with several naming staff members who tailored pressure to request. The quality of the massage oils and skincare products comes up repeatedly as a point of distinction rather than an afterthought. Service is described as warm from arrival, and more than one visitor reported being accommodated without a prior booking, including on a busy day, which suggests some flexibility even if reservations are the safer route. No recurring complaints appear in the feedback gathered.

The spa is open daily from 10 in the morning until 11 at night, making it workable for a pre-dinner unwind or a late evening reset after a day of sightseeing along the riverside. It suits travellers who want a proper massage rather than a quick foot rub, and anyone curious about Cambodian-made skincare lines worth carrying home. Booking ahead is advisable for popular slots or longer treatments such as the 90-minute aromatherapy option, though walk-ins have reportedly been welcomed when rooms are free. Address is on Street 178 at its corner with Samdach Sothearos Boulevard, an easy stop for those already near the riverfront.

National Museum of Cambodia is 630 m north-west of Palace Gate Hotel & Resort by EHM — about 8 minutes on foot. It is the closest place to the hotel under “museums & galleries”.

The next two places under “museums & galleries” from Palace Gate Hotel & Resort by EHM are SOSORO - Preah Srey Içanavarman Museum (1.6 km) and Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (2.3 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.

Pizza 4P's 313 Quayside is 729 m north-west of Palace Gate Hotel & Resort by EHM — about 9 minutes on foot. It is the closest place to the hotel under “restaurants”.

The next two places under “restaurants” from Palace Gate Hotel & Resort by EHM are Wild Phnom Penh (1.3 km) and 306 Khema Steakhouse (1.3 km), so there is a choice within a few minutes.

Pizza 4P's occupies a riverside spot on Preah Sisowath Quay, with indoor seating on the second floor offering an elevated view over the water, as well as outdoor tables for those who prefer to sit by the street. The kitchen centres on wood-fired pizza, with the four-cheese version singled out by regulars, alongside a broader menu of Japanese-influenced dishes typical of the Pizza 4P's brand. The dining room is air-conditioned, with a visible pizza oven and a bar counter, and the setting works equally for a casual meal, a family dinner, or an evening with friends.

Visitors consistently mention the quality and consistency of the pizza, along with attentive, polished service that includes small touches like complimentary lemongrass tea, water, and fresh towels before meals. The riverside sunset view, especially from window seats, comes up often as a highlight, along with the pleasant contrast between the warmth of the pizza oven and the comfortable indoor setting. The main caveats raised are that prices sit on the higher side for Phnom Penh, and that the location gets very busy on weekends, when car-free days on the riverside can mean a longer walk in from where tuk tuks drop passengers.

Given the volume of praise for consistency and the busy weekend crowds, reservations are advisable, particularly for dinner or weekend visits when the restaurant fills up quickly. The place suits couples looking for a sunset dinner, families, and groups of friends, and it works for both a relaxed lunch and a fuller evening meal, open daily from late morning until 11pm.

Naga World Night Club is 729 m south-east of Palace Gate Hotel & Resort by EHM — about 9 minutes on foot. It is the closest place to the hotel under “nightlife”.

The next two places under “nightlife” from Palace Gate Hotel & Resort by EHM are LOVE - Phnom Penh (1.2 km) and TŌKIO CLUB (3.3 km), so there is a choice within a few minutes.

Naga World Night Club occupies a 13-storey complex near Samdach Hun Sen Park in central Phnom Penh, functioning as a combined casino, hotel, and entertainment venue. The nightclub itself sits within a larger gaming and hospitality facility that operates around the clock. The space is described by visitors as visually striking, with pulsating lights and vibrant décor designed to create an energetic atmosphere throughout the evening.

Visitors consistently highlight the quality of the music and DJs as a major draw, with both local talent and visiting international performers delivering EDM and electronic sets. The complex includes two distinctive casino floors with table games—predominantly Baccarat—alongside slot machines, plus poker and other gaming options. Naga World also features multiple restaurants and live entertainment programming including singers, bands, and traditional Khmer performances. Guests note the opulence of the building and the evident investment in its construction and décor. The venue appears to be designed more as a full casino and entertainment complex than a standalone nightclub, which means the nightlife experience sits alongside significant gaming activity.

The club operates 24 hours daily, seven days a week, so there is no specific time to visit—though like most nightclubs, it will be livelier after midnight. The venue caters to those seeking upscale, international-style entertainment in Phnom Penh. It suits visitors interested in both nightlife and gaming, though those seeking a pure club experience without the surrounding casino atmosphere may find the gaming element more prominent than expected. Entry and dress codes are typical for high-end venues of this type in the city.
