I absolutely loved the neighborhood. The property sits in a cozy little alley, and there's something about the area that feels incredibly peaceful and charming. The room layout, design, and overall atmosphere just worked for me. The only thing that stopped this from being a perfect stay was an interaction with one of the security guards. To this day, I still don't know what went wrong, but he was noticeably rude in both tone and attitude. The front desk could also have been a little more responsive to requests. Overall though, I had a lovely stay and would happily come back.

We stayed for a week then ended up extending our stay another week. YK Arthouse is serenity in the middle of the city. It's right around the corner from Aeon mall as well as lots of great restaurants and attractions. It's also easy to get a grab ride from here (1-3 min wait, although we were here during Khmer New Year so it was a bit busy). Our room was exactly as pictured, and clean and quiet enough for our two cats to have a peaceful stay. The wifi is great. I managed to get work done, and also streamed a few movies.

absolutely amazing place. beautiful area to hang out downstairs with books and plants everywhere, cats and comfy chairs too- could easily just spend a day down here. the room is incredibly well designed, it actually felt homely and had furniture chosen with intention instead of just generic impersonal hotel stuff (which always does the job but doesn’t really make you feel comfortable or inclined to spend much time there.) we loved the place and could’ve stayed far longer than just 3 nights, and if i’m back in phnom penh i’ll be staying here! great food too.

Whenever I’m in YK Art House, it feels like home. The hotel lives its values of creativity, community, sustainability, and support for local art. With its vegan restaurant, library, gallery space, and regular events, it feels more like a creative hub than a typical hotel. Its central location also makes getting around Phnom Penh easy. The vegan restaurant offers both healthy meals and comfort food, and the rooms, especially the apartments, are thoughtfully designed and full of personality rather than feeling generic. What really makes the place special is the atmosphere the current management and staff have maintained. There are library meetups, community events, and plenty of opportunities to connect with interesting people, or relax quietly with a book. During our last stay, my husband and I spent about six weeks there while our travel and living plans kept changing. The staff were consistently flexible, kind, and solution-oriented, always helping us without making us feel like a burden. I’ve stayed in many places, but YK Art House is one I always want to return to!

Wild Phnom Penh

Restaurants 113 m 1 min walk 4.8/5 on Google

Wild Phnom Penh is 113 m north-west of YK Art House — about 1 minutes on foot. It is the closest place to the hotel under “restaurants”.

The next two places under “restaurants” from YK Art House are 306 Khema Steakhouse (433 m) and Xiao Ge Hot Pot - Boeung Keng Kang (700 m), so there is a choice within a few minutes.

Tucked down a small alleyway at 13Y St 830, this all-day spot mixes an indoor house area with outdoor seating and greenery, giving it a garden-like, unhurried feel rather than a typical street-side café. The menu runs from snacks and spring rolls to cocktails, coffee, and matcha, with a kitchen that leans toward Western-influenced takes on Cambodian staples. Toys are kept on hand for guests travelling with babies, and there is no dedicated parking, given the narrow lane it sits on.

Visitors return repeatedly for the spring rolls, especially a burrata version, and for breakfast dishes like avocado toast, which several reviewers rate above other options in the city. Cocktails, including a spicy mango drink, get consistent praise, and staff are described again and again as attentive, warm, and genuinely welcoming. The recurring caveats are the coffee and matcha, which a few guests found underwhelming compared to Phnom Penh's growing café scene, and prices that are noted as on the higher side for the city. Ventilation indoors can also struggle in humid weather, since fans alone were not enough for one visitor when it rained and outdoor seating was not an option.

Go for a relaxed breakfast or lunch when you want a calmer, garden-adjacent setting away from city noise, or for an evening cocktail with spring rolls if heat is welcome on the palate. It suits couples on a date, small groups of friends, or informal work meetings, and the restaurant explicitly discourages loud noise and smoking to protect that quiet. Since it is in an alley with no parking, arriving on foot, by tuk-tuk, or by app-based ride is more practical, and it is worth knowing in advance that specialty drinks are a stronger bet here than coffee.

Bassac Lane

Bars 273 m 3 min walk 4.6/5 on Google

Bassac Lane is 273 m north of YK Art House — about 3 minutes on foot. It is the closest place to the hotel under “bars”.

The next two places under “bars” from YK Art House are HighGround Sky Bar (877 m) and The WATERS Pub and Eatery (3.5 km), so there is a choice within a few minutes.

Bassac Lane is a cluster of narrow streets in central Phnom Penh lined with bars, small clubs, and eateries tucked into a compact area near Street 308. The lane itself is the draw—a concentrated strip of nightlife venues rather than a single establishment. Visitors find a mixture of cocktail bars, hidden eateries, and music venues, with a social atmosphere that draws both tourists and foreigners looking for an evening out.

Guests consistently describe the atmosphere as lively and energetic, with many praising the mix of trendy bars and relaxed social vibe. The drinks are noted as varied, and the setting feels intimate despite the density of venues. Visitors mention the best time to visit is evening or late evening, when the lane becomes most active. The area also offers Cambodian street food and local dishes alongside international options. Some guests note that Bassac Lane sits within an area known for its full range of nightlife establishments—a practical detail worth knowing before visiting.

The lane operates from 5 PM to midnight daily, making it suitable for both early evening drinks and later nights out. It works well for anyone wanting to experience Phnom Penh's social nightlife scene without traveling far—the compact geography means you can move between several bars easily. The atmosphere appeals to those comfortable in busy, mixed social settings rather than seekers of quiet or upscale venues.

AEON Mall Phnom Penh

Shopping 388 m 5 min walk 4.4/5 on Google

AEON Mall Phnom Penh is 388 m south-east of YK Art House — about 5 minutes on foot. It is the closest place to the hotel under “shopping”.

The next two places under “shopping” from YK Art House are Vattanac Capital (2.9 km) and AEON Mall Sen Sok City (7.3 km), so there is a choice within a few minutes.

AEON Mall Phnom Penh is a modern, air-conditioned shopping centre on Samdach Sothearos Boulevard offering a mix of international and local retail brands across multiple floors. The mall houses a supermarket, fashion and lifestyle shops, a cinema, and extensive dining options ranging from a food court to full-service restaurants serving Cambodian, Asian, and international cuisine. The space is designed to be spacious and well-lit, with controlled temperature throughout.

Visitors consistently praise the mall's cleanliness, organization, and the variety of dining choices available. Many note that the restaurant floor differs from typical food courts, offering a selection of proper restaurants rather than just counter service. The mall serves both as a shopping destination and as a place to escape the heat and spend several hours browsing and eating, even for those without serious shopping intentions. Some visitors appreciate it as a window into local weekend leisure habits. Reviews are largely positive, though the mall is recognized as a commercial space rather than a tourist attraction.

The mall operates from 9 AM to 10 PM daily. It suits visitors looking for familiar international brands alongside local options, families seeking air-conditioned entertainment and dining, and anyone wanting to experience how residents spend their leisure time. Allow several hours if you plan to shop, eat, and explore the various floors.

306 Khema Steakhouse

Restaurants 433 m 5 min walk 4.6/5 on Google

306 Khema Steakhouse is 433 m north-west of YK Art House — about 5 minutes on foot. It is among the three closest places to the hotel under “restaurants”.

The next two places under “restaurants” from YK Art House are Wild Phnom Penh (113 m) and Xiao Ge Hot Pot - Boeung Keng Kang (700 m), 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.

Sabay Cinema

Cinema 526 m 7 min walk 4.3/5 on Google

Sabay Cinema is 526 m south-east of YK Art House — about 7 minutes on foot. It is the closest place to the hotel under “cinema”.

The other place under “cinema” within reach of YK Art House is Prime Cineplex Samai Square (5.2 km).

Sabay Cinema occupies the second floor of AEON Mall Phnom Penh on Samdach Sothearos Boulevard, a central location near the riverside and markets. The venue screens films across multiple halls with 3D capability and online ticket booking via app. It draws a steady crowd of students and local moviegoers.

Visitors consistently report that ticket prices are inexpensive, and online booking is straightforward. Seats have adequate legroom, though reviewers note the cinema is older with smaller screens than newer facilities. The main complaints centre on concessions: drinks advertised as 32 ounces are actually 22 ounces at the advertised price; snack portions are small relative to cost; and 3D glasses incur a 50-cent surcharge per person rather than being included in ticket pricing. One visitor also flagged that some guests talk through films. Another reviewer praised the VIP experience, mentioning complimentary coffee and snacks in a lounge, though this may not reflect the standard experience.

Go if you want affordable tickets and are willing to overlook older facilities. The location suits those already in the mall or nearby. Check drink sizes and prices before ordering concessions, and clarify what is included in your ticket type—particularly for 3D screenings—at purchase rather than arrival. Online booking helps avoid queues.

Moma Bakehouse & Bistro

Cafés & bakeries 582 m 7 min walk 4.7/5 on Google

Moma Bakehouse & Bistro is 582 m south-west of YK Art House — about 7 minutes on foot. It is the closest place to the hotel under “cafés & bakeries”.

The next two places under “cafés & bakeries” from YK Art House are TUBE Coffee Riverside (1.8 km) and Siso Bakery (1.9 km), so there is a choice within a few minutes.

Moma Bakehouse & Bistro sits on Street 370 and functions as both a working bakery and a café with seating upstairs. Visitors find a selection of pastries, croissants, and baked goods on display, alongside a menu featuring brunch items and full cooked breakfasts. The space is described as clean and well-appointed, with strong air conditioning—a practical benefit in Phnom Penh's heat. The interior aesthetic draws consistent mention, with guests noting a relaxing, cozy atmosphere suited to working or spending time with friends.

Reviewers praise the quality and portion sizes of the food and pastries, with several highlighting the blueberry pancakes and the full English breakfast as standouts. Staff are reported to be friendly, welcoming, and communicative in English, and the ordering process—whether in-person or online—runs smoothly. The main reservation across reviews is price: the café operates at the higher end of the market, though most visitors feel the quality justifies the cost. One caveat appears around the Dubai chocolate items, which some find excessively sweet. The sausages in the English breakfast have drawn mixed reactions from different guests.

The café opens early at 6:00 AM on weekdays and Saturdays, making it a viable breakfast stop. It remains open until 10:00 PM most days. It suits those seeking a comfortable environment with reliable quality over budget dining, and works equally well for a quick pastry, a full breakfast, or settling in with coffee and a laptop.

Statue of His Majesty Preah Bat Samdech Preah Norodom Sihanouk is 647 m north of YK Art House — about 8 minutes on foot. It is the closest place to the hotel under “sights”.

The next two places under “sights” from YK Art House are Independence Monument (691 m) 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.

Independence Monument

Independence Monument is 691 m north of YK Art House — about 9 minutes on foot. It is among the three closest places to the hotel under “sights”.

The next two places under “sights” from YK Art House are Statue of His Majesty Preah Bat Samdech Preah Norodom Sihanouk (647 m) 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.
