An absolute oasis of peace in the havoc of Phnom Penh, tucked away in a quiet street in a busy area - perfect. Rooms are basic but comfortable with everything you need and good aircon. Nicole and the staff are very welcoming and friendly, The Pool and lounging areas are very relaxing. Food is very good and the Swiss breakfast is what ALL hotels should offer. Brilliant.

Amazing staff who are super friendly and demonstrate true hospitality! I felt like I was home. The rooms were always cleaned well, beautiful pool and relaxing place close to many restaurants and stores. Easy to get anywhere from the hotel and staff help explain! The food is delicious, too, with western and khmer options. You'll love it. The hotel staff go above and beyond to make your stay perfect. Amazing management, Nicole and Stefan. If they're not too busy ask for their story. Wish I could give 7 stars!

Recently spent 2 nights here without knowing Phnom Penh at all. The rooms are big, well cleaned and spartan. They contain all the essentials you need but could be better described as monastic rather than cosy. Breakfast if not expansive was at least freshly prepared, well presented, varied and adaquate. We also had lunch one of the days and the same comment applies all be it tastier and the was a good selection of meals. The verdant courtyard/swimming area is wonderful and contrasts sharply with the neighborhood. There are many restaurants and coffee shops in the vacinity but you don't feel central. The two ladies managing the premises were very pleasent, helpful and attentive. On the downside the beds are rock hard and there was no hot water. The air conditioning is also well past its best. The whole concept might be due a good polish if not a refresh in the near future. That said the stay was overall pleasant enough with the exception of the bed, a third night would have been too much. Would have given 3.5 stars if possible.

Have stayed here twice whilst in Phnom Penh. Was recommended by a friend. Absolutely great little place and excellent value for money. When you are chilling by the pool you forget you are in a suffocating city. A little oasis. Staff are really friendly and helpful. Bathrooms are modern and rooms (although basic) are incredibly clean and bed is comfortable so a good nights sleep can be had.

Great little hotel. Perfect for us. Great breakfast. Beautiful pergolas. Rooms a little spartan but nothing to complain about, maybe the lack of hot water. If you go there get a room with pool view. The rooms in the back have no view or whatsoever. The owner and staff were really helpful and welcoming.
