Sofitel Phnom Penh Phokeethra

Lovely rooms

Not much character outside areas. Not really worth the jump in nightly rate compared to some fabulous value for money hotels in Phnom Penh.

I stayed in the Superior Room with Club room access for 4 nights. Room & bathroom was spacious. Wi-fi worked well and the TV had plenty of channels. On arrival, we were welcomed with cold towel, iced tea and flower bouquets. After a quick check in we were taken to our room. With club access, we had buffet breakfast, afternoon tea and evening canapés with cocktails each day. It was AMAZING. The service was outstanding and the food & drinks out of this world. Thank you to Piseth for looking after us. The staff at Sofitel go above and beyond. Always there to greet us, open doors and help us with anything we need. IF YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN TO PHNOM PENH, HERE ARE SOME TIPS: 1. On arrival, inside the airport there is a machine where you pre-pay for a taxi. You can pay via credit card. Walk outside and give the receipt to the staff (dressed in blue). They will call the car to you. Costs approximately AUD$24. Takes 40-50 mins to reach the hotel. 2. Choose the Superior room with club access. You won’t need to think about eating street food as everything is provided for you. The cocktails were fantastic and there is wine or beer if you prefer. Gluten free food options are available too. 3. Day trip idea - we emailed ‘Free the Bears’ an Australian charity and we became Bear keepers for the day. Preparing their food and feeding them. lunch provided and free t-shirt. This was an unforgettable experience. freethebears.org (bear-care-tour-cambodia) 4. Day trip idea - we asked the hotel concierge to call a tuk tuk to take us out to 2 tourist sights. We didn’t need a guided tour, we just needed a driver to take us there and back. It cost approx $20USD cash (or riel) to visit the Killing fields and Tuol Sleng Genocide museum which took us about 4 hours. Entry fees to both places require cash (no card facilities) 5. Visit the hotel spa for a massage and then laze by the pool. 6. Spare time ? There is a shopping mall right next door ! 7. Download the Grab app and reserve your taxi back to the airport. Approx $20AUD There is an ATM machine in the hotel basement which you’ll need cash for tuk tuks and entry fees. We didn’t bother going into town, as we enjoyed the hotel facilities too much. Have a great trip everyone. Make sure you stay at the Sofitel !

We loved the rooms, amenities and facilities of the Sofitel in Phnom Penh but it was the staff that really made this place special. We came with a work related trip for my husband and all staff were kind and friendly offering suggestions for sightseeing. Kimlay and all the crew at breakfast were so welcoming and accomodating. I’m coeliac and they went above and beyond to make sure I was looked after with delicious food made to order. It was a very relaxing stay at the hotel and we returned for an extra night after visiting Siem Reap for a couple of nights. We were welcomed back like old friends. It is a special hotel ♥️

The hotel was superb in every respect and especially the staff who were friendly and helpful. Rooms are comfortable and all dining areas provided quality food in a clean and pleasant atmosphere. Hotel is in the centre of the city and only a short tuk-tuk ride from markets and main attractions. Definitely recommend

What a great hotel Pisath Phamo Nita was such a great host perfect start next to AEON market easy to get around great restaurants a definite must see on your tourist journey with the Sofitel Such a great hotel to relax try the sunset cruise also a must do

Very nice

The facilities were beautiful and the staff was amazing. We booked a family suite and my kids were delighted to find a small reading tent, stuffed animals and cupcakes waiting for them in "their" room. The Japanese restaurant was absolutely fantastic and one of the best meals we've had at a fraction of the price we would pay at home.

An excellent hotel and we loved our stay. The kids had a great time at the pool. The club millesime staff Piseth and Daya were fabulous and made it very easy with our kids. We would highly recommend this hotel for anyone with families. The food was delicious as well.

Our experience was exceptional. The hotel is well-run and staff provided superb service across all departments, making us feel truly welcome. Hotel even noticed we had left an item behind and quickly arranged its return. Although the property isn’t new, everything is top-notch. It is well-maintained, spotless, and insect-free. Platinum status was recognised, which enhanced our stay.
