Try Residence, The Elysée Koh Pich

Reverside location fit with my preference for walking and enjoying fresh air

The room was exceptional- big and airy, with new facilities comfy bed and hot water once I worked it out. As this is obviously a quite new building, that’s not unexpected. The staff were sweet and as helpful as they could be between my non-existent Khymer and their minimal English, but we worked it out. Hot water: I only used the hand-held in its bracket but, if you set both the pressure and temperature fairly low, you’ll get a good shower without getting scalded each time the pump kicks in (about every 10 seconds). Drainage: There’s a plug UNDER the drain grill. Remove them both and water drains properly.

The room faced directly into the very close next building, so no view and reduced light. No signs in passageways asking guests to keep the noise down, so both mornings I was woken early to loud voices echoing down the hall outside my door. I had only a chair or the floor to put my suitcase on. The whole area is isolated, very new and most of the buildings are still unoccupied, so going for a walk, was a real disappointment, with food choices severely limited, especially for a solo traveller. Finding somewhere for breakfast took till nearly lunchtime

Great value for your money! The best spot in Phnom Penh for a decent price

The room was clean, however there was no room service.

Room quite smelly. The arrangement of furniture is not in a practical way, you can barely get to the toilet because it's so narrow. When wanting to check out in the morning the door was locked, and no one was there. I tried three different phone numbers, but no one answered. Quite a hassle, and if traveling for business it's not recommended as it's so unreliable
