Anise Hotel & Restaurant

Our room was on the top floor (4th floor) and there is no elevator. It was a little rough with luggage, which they gladly helped us with but it was so very worth it. There is a rooftop garden that we basically had to ourselves. The staff was very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. The location was great...a lot of stores or restaurants close by and I was able to take a cooking class right next door! I would absolutely stay at this place again and recommend to those who are wanting a nice hotel at a great price...

We highly recommend this hotel: comfortable, clean, a good breakfast included in the tariff and it's in a convenient location near the Independence Monument. And the staff were outstanding: always welcoming and friendly. This was our first Cambodian hotel experience and we really enjoyed our 5 night stay.

a very nice hotel and clean. Good location next to many restaurants. Polite staff and free laundry cleaning Breakfast was satisfactory There were some mosquitos in the room. We were on the 4th floor and there was no lift in the hotel.

The front desk staff was very helpful in ride arrangement. The hotel food was pretty good. We had oatmeal and fruit. Room was on top floor, a lot of stairs and noisy night sleep, but they were very kind to offer us a different room.

I spent some time choosing a hotel for what was my first trip to Phnom Penh and the Anise somehow "felt right". I was not disappointed. It turned out to be the perfect base for me as a business traveller, who also had a little time for sightseeing around the city. Although it nestles in the heart of quite a busy neighbourhood, the hotel offers the perfect enclave in which guests can chill out and relax after a hard day's work or sightseeing. If you need any assistance, the hotel staff will also help with sightseeing tours or advice - I would particularly recommend a sunset cruise! Other great features - a lovely terrace restaurant serving some great East Asian and Western dishes (loved my time out there with a glass of chilled Angkor beer each night!) and 5 free pieces of laundry per day. Also a fantastic choice of breakfasts to set you up for the day ahead. All in all, a great stay! I returned home with some special memories. If I return in the future to Phnom Penh then this will definitely be my first choice hotel.

Great place in PP. Central location. Classic building with street terrace restaurant. Family owned and highly recommended. Great value..breakfast and free laundry each day.

We stayed for 3 nights. Loved the extra touches, like fresh flower arrangements throughout the hotel and free laundry service (5 pieces per person per day for free). Everything was great: services, cleanliness, breakfast, comfort. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. My only complaint is that the shower did not have good water pressure and the temperature would switch between burning hot to freezing cold even though you did not touch the handle (We were in room 403, maybe it just needs a bit of maintenance?). Other than that issue, all was great. We would stay here again.

After countless stays here over the past twenty years it's always a joy to return! A leafy retreat in a prime location with superlative food and staff.

There are not enough superlatives for this wonderful modest little hotel. The terrace is also delightful and the food and service excellent.

The hotel staff was excellent, the room very clean and just what was advertized. Breakfast was from a menu and delicious. While the hotel's own street (278) has some restaurants, bars and travel companies, the zone is in an upper-end part of Phnom Penh with too many US food franchises and Range Rovers. We thought it must be embassy row. This invasion felt disorienting and disheartening, but we could walk to the National Museum and streets with local food. The hotel's restaurant itself was also great.
