Chamkar Mon Vacations from $291

Quiet hotel. The staff is very good.

Great property with a lot of history

This property has a beautiful Cambodian flair. Although most of the staff do not speak much English, they still are very helpful. The café downstairs makes delicious coffee and offers baked goods. There’s a restaurant on site with delicious food. The rooftop pool is wonderful. For being right in the middle of a busy roadway, the hotel is very quiet. It is a couple of kilometers to the Riverwalk, and easy enough to get a tuk tuk ride for $1.25 through the Grab app or Pass app.

This hotel is very close to the Main Street with the nightlife for westerners, so can be noisy although it didn’t affect our sleep. I did request quiet rooms and were given 8th and 9th floors which probably helped to reduce some of the noise. The staff were super friendly and welcoming when we arrived as well as every time we entered the lobby wishing us a good day. We had breakfast included which had a mixture of western and local cuisine. There are two pools but both a quite small and in bar areas which I found a little strange, we didn’t have time to use them. The hotel has a rooftop bar with views over the local area. Overall I would recommend this hotel, our room was quite small but it is a very tall, narrow hotel with one elevator which can be slow during busy periods. As well as being close to bars and restaurants it is only a 25 minute walk to the Royal Palace and 30 minute walk or short Tuk Tuk ride to Tuol Sleng Genocide Musuem. There were always Tuk tuks waiting outside. This hotel also has a spa with massage but there are cheaper massage places a few doors away too.

Reception staff were great. Our room was next to a building that was being demolised by hand with sledgehammers. It went on all day from 8 to 5. Breakfast ok but after a week could have been better. Dont use the tuk tuk drivers outside the hotel as you will be scammed. Room was good, shower too hot couldn't turn it down.
