About Star Wood Inn

Star Wood Inn is a small inn on St 141 in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, offering simple, functional rooms at low prices. Rooms come with air conditioning, a TV, a wardrobe with hangers, a table, two end tables and a trash can. Bathrooms are wet-style, with the shower in the open area and an exhaust fan. Rooms do not include a refrigerator or kettle, and the building has no elevator, so guests should be prepared to use the stairs.

The inn suits travellers who want a straightforward, low-cost base in Phnom Penh rather than resort facilities. Staff can clean rooms on request, and reception has moved guests to a different room when a problem came up, such as a weak Wi-Fi signal at the back of the building.

The location works well for anyone travelling onward by bus: the inn sits right next to the bus companies serving Vietnam, and Orussey is within walking distance. Laundry services, convenience s...

No elevator, be ready to climb stairs. AC worked well, simple cheap room, clean, no refridgerator or kettle. Bathroom is "wet" style where shower is in the open area.Bathroom had a good exhaust fan. There is a table, 2 end tables, trash can and a wardrobe woth a few hangers. Bed was very firm, blanket was more like a throw, domestic type rather than hotel style. Wifi w as very week so second day the reception switched me to a room closer to the front of the hotel, the problem was resolved. Laundry and convenience stores near by as well as some Restaurants and street food. Easy walk to Oressey Market (8-19 min). 6 min walk to Olympic stadium where many locals go to Exercise, walk play volleyball, tennis, basketball, martial arts and many other things.

We had our worst stay so far. I booked hotel and paid fully but when we arrived they informed us that they are fully booked. A group came to hotel and to make them accommodate they just gave our room to them. They moved us to another hotel just at the next street. Group of people were staying at out left and right room. They were laughing, screaming, moving between rooms all night until 4 am. The staff didnt help for this and it was hard to explain them as they do not speak English. The room was super dirty that I never seen such a dirty room. There was condom and cigarette from previous guest... the one star is for they offered free breakfast and lunch but I refused it. My purpose of stay just had a night sleep which we did not have.

A functional but pretty soulless place. The staff are friendly and helpful but the sheets felt dirty and unclean. Also with a duvet and no top sheet, you just know that it has not been washed after every stay. Also the WiFi was patchy on the top floor where my room was

Great place to stay. Rooms are big, everything works well (aircon, tv, shower...). Staff is kind and will clean the room whenever you ask for it. Right next to the bus companies for Vietnam. Prices in the area are lower than in the more touristy areas such as Riverside.

Lovely place to live with friendly staff. If you need any assistance don't hesitate to ask. Room is clean and comfortable with good price and location is close to most places.

HighGround Sky Bar

Bars 814 m 10 min walk 4.7/5 on Google

HighGround Sky Bar is 814 m east of Star Wood Inn — about 10 minutes on foot. It is the closest place to the hotel under “bars”.

The next two places under “bars” from Star Wood Inn are Bassac Lane (1.5 km) and The WATERS Pub and Eatery (2.3 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.

Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum

Museums & galleries 881 m 11 min walk 4.6/5 on Google

Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum is 881 m south of Star Wood Inn — about 11 minutes on foot. It is the closest place to the hotel under “museums & galleries”.

The next two places under “museums & galleries” from Star Wood Inn are National Museum of Cambodia (1.7 km) and SOSORO - Preah Srey Içanavarman Museum (2.2 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.

Siso Bakery

Cafés & bakeries 952 m 12 min walk 4.8/5 on Google

Siso Bakery is 952 m south of Star Wood Inn — about 12 minutes on foot. It is the closest place to the hotel under “cafés & bakeries”.

The next two places under “cafés & bakeries” from Star Wood Inn are Moma Bakehouse & Bistro (1.4 km) and TUBE Coffee Riverside (2.0 km), so there is a choice within a few minutes.

Siso Bakery sits on Street 350 in the BKK1 area of Phnom Penh, a bakery-café built around a display case of carefully finished cakes and pastries alongside a full coffee and drinks menu. The interior draws on a vintage, nostalgic decor in orange and brown tones, with staff in matching uniforms, and it has enough seating to function as a proper sit-down café rather than a grab-and-go counter.

Visitors consistently praise the presentation of the cakes and pastries, singling out the croissants for their buttery aroma and the matcha drinks as well made. The atmosphere and the warmth of the staff come up often, with several people describing it as a calm, cozy escape from the street outside. The recurring caveat is price: cupcakes and specialty drinks are seen by some as expensive for what they are, and one recent visit reported an inconsistent cappuccino and limited options like no plain sugar, only syrup, alongside a redo served in a paper cup. So execution can vary, even if the reputation for good pastries generally holds.

Go for breakfast or a mid-morning coffee, since opening is early at 6:30 AM and it runs through to 7:00 PM daily, which also makes it workable for an afternoon pastry break. Expect it to be busy, as it is one of the better known bakeries in Phnom Penh with limited comparable competition at the same level, so seating can fill up. It suits people looking for a proper coffee-and-cake sit-down rather than the cheapest option in the neighborhood, and those prepared to pay a premium for the setting and presentation.

Nightlife 1.0 km 13 min walk 4.8/5 on Google

LOVE - Phnom Penh is 1.0 km east of Star Wood Inn — about 13 minutes on foot. It is the closest place to the hotel under “nightlife”.

The next two places under “nightlife” from Star Wood Inn are Naga World Night Club (2.2 km) and TŌKIO CLUB (2.8 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.

Bodia Spa BKK1 Phnom Penh

Spa & wellness 1.2 km 15 min walk 4.8/5 on Google

Bodia Spa BKK1 Phnom Penh is 1.2 km south-east of Star Wood Inn — about 15 minutes on foot. It is the closest place to the hotel under “spa & wellness”.

The other place under “spa & wellness” within reach of Star Wood Inn is BODIA SPA Riverside (1.9 km).

Set across three floors in BKK1, this spa offers private cabins that can host solo visitors or small groups of up to three, each with its own shower and a choice of massage oils. The lobby doubles as a small retail area for bath and wellness products, and the overall design is polished and calm, with staff greeting guests with tea and a foot cleaning before treatments begin.

Reviews are largely consistent in praising the therapists, who are described as attentive and skilled at adjusting pressure during the massage, and the reception staff, who are called warm and caring. Guests repeatedly mention the hot shower and product range afterward as a nice touch, and several note that promotions are sometimes available on certain massages during set daytime hours. Not every visitor is equally impressed: one review found the herbal compress massage pleasant but unremarkable, and felt the pricing was a little steep for what was delivered, while another wished for less oil during the body massage. So expectations should be tuned toward a comfortable, well-run experience rather than something extraordinary every time.

The spa is open daily from 10am to 11pm, which makes it workable for both an afternoon break and an evening wind-down after a day of sightseeing. Booking ahead is worth doing, as at least one guest arranged their appointment the day before and benefited from a time-limited discount. It suits travellers looking for a reliable, attractively designed spa in BKK1 for a massage or short pampering session, though those seeking bargain pricing or an unconventional treatment menu may want to weigh the cost against the fairly standard offerings.

306 Khema Steakhouse

Restaurants 1.3 km 16 min walk 4.6/5 on Google

306 Khema Steakhouse is 1.3 km east of Star Wood Inn — about 16 minutes on foot. It is the closest place to the hotel under “restaurants”.

The next two places under “restaurants” from Star Wood Inn are Xiao Ge Hot Pot - Boeung Keng Kang (1.3 km) and Xiao Ge Hot Pot (1.5 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.

Independence Monument

Sights 1.3 km 16 min walk 4.5/5 on Google

Independence Monument is 1.3 km east of Star Wood Inn — about 16 minutes on foot. It is the closest place to the hotel under “sights”.

The next two places under “sights” from Star Wood Inn are Statue of His Majesty Preah Bat Samdech Preah Norodom Sihanouk (1.5 km) and Royal Palace of Cambodia (1.8 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.

Restaurants 1.3 km 16 min walk 4.7/5 on Google

Xiao Ge Hot Pot - Boeung Keng Kang is 1.3 km south-east of Star Wood Inn — about 16 minutes on foot. It is among the three closest places to the hotel under “restaurants”.

The next two places under “restaurants” from Star Wood Inn are 306 Khema Steakhouse (1.3 km) and Xiao Ge Hot Pot (1.5 km), so there is a choice within a few minutes.

This is a hot pot restaurant in the Boeung Keng Kang district on Street 360. Diners cook thin-sliced meat, seafood, and vegetables in broths at their table—the restaurant offers several soup bases including collagen and Sichuan options. The space is air-conditioned and described by visitors as spacious and clean. Hot pot is priced affordably, with buffet options cited at around eight dollars per person that include pork, beef, black chicken, shrimp, and meatballs.

Visitors consistently praise the freshness of meat and vegetables, the speed of service, and the friendly staff. Soup quality stands out as a strength, particularly the collagen and Sichuan broths. The main complaints centre on practical matters: the cumulative smell of hot pot cooking lingers on clothes, and ventilation or air purification could be improved. Some English-speaking visitors have struggled with the menu—staff speak limited English and no English-language menu is available, which occasionally leads to communication difficulties when ordering. One reviewer noted the side-dish selection felt limited for those avoiding pork and beef.

The restaurant opens daily from 11 AM to 9:30 PM (closed Sundays). It sits in a busy area near schools, offices, and markets, so expect crowds at lunch and dinner times. The location suits groups of friends or colleagues eating together, and appeals particularly to students and office workers. If you speak limited Cambodian or Chinese, pointing or using translation tools may help with ordering.
