Phnom Penh 51 Hotel & Residences

Roof top The major attraction of this hotel is the roof top Sky bar / pool / terrace / restaurant The view on the central avenue with the famous sightseeing- The Monument of Independence- is incredible as well as the 360 degrees skyline of PhnomPenh. The room was really spacious, but what amused me mostly was the bathtub in the bedroom, by the panoramic windows, in front of the bed. That’s quite naughty, but why not. Breakfast was served on the roof terrace, which is fantastic addition to the meal, coz u may enjoy the sunrise right at the same time. Location is good too, average distance to main spots is no more than 2 km. Tuk tuk service is no more than a 1 minute away. One more important advantage is the express supermarket downstairs, good choice and even lots of options for those who wish to try local specialties

The hotel is in need of refurbishment. The room was small , and the bed was quite hard. The door rattled, and i didn't feel it would take much to barge it open, so didn't always feel safe as a solo female traveller. The air con was above the bed but blew out the air toward the end of the bed, and the room never seemed to cool down properly. I had to sleep length ways across the bottom of the bed to get any cool air on me. The gym is boiling hot and the equipment old. The pool area was ok . Breakfast was busy and not helped by a coffee machine that took ages and so there was always a queue . This formed in front of the bread and pastries, so everything seemed blocked up. Choice of breakfast not great if you have western taste. Staff were friendly and quick to respond when I asked for my room to be sprayed for mosquitoes. After 10 days in Cambodia with no bites, I had 3 in one night at the hotel. Sorry but I wouldn't recommend my friends or family to stay here.
