Sorry, I have no good words to say. It is on top of a bar and a very dirty place to stay. The most unacceptable to me is that the room is badly smelling. No hot water.

Generous staff. Super bar girls. Nice pool for free. Could be a little bit cleaner upstairs though.

Our fridge had left overs in it when we checked in. The area is very accessible to shops, the bus stop and the royal palace + silver pagoda. We just walked around to get to places.

(Expensive) rooms with holes in walls and tiny bathrooms, only + was the TV. Loudness from other guests and music from their bar made it very difficult to sleep. Lots of other much better choices along the riverfront for same money.

We went to check in...the boss didn't give our reservation to his staff because he was "upstairs drunk"; It was 1pm. Good location for bus and boat stops, but otherwise stay away

Never felt so unsafe in a hotel before. Throughout the night people were shouting and screaming at each other right outside our room door. Very dirty room- bare wires hanging from ceiling, no hot water and a strong unpleasant odour. The bar downstairs appeared very seedy.

Very dirty room- bare wires hanging from ceiling, no hot water and a strong unpleasant odour. The bar downstairs appeared very seedy. Would urge anyone to consider an alternative choice when in Phnom Penh. Will not be returning!close

My 12-USD-room was a bit small for the money, window-less, equipped with aircon, a double bed, a closet, and a well working TV set. The bathroom was of the simple kind that I would not have expected for that money: No shower tub and the water didn't really want to flow away from the floor.... more My 12-USD-room was a bit small for the money, window-less, equipped with aircon, a double bed, a closet, and a well working TV set. The bathroom was of the simple kind that I would not have expected for that money: No shower tub and the water didn't really want to flow away from the floor. Best-ever 7-speed shower head, though... Drain pipe of wash basin was loose, so that also that water spilled onto the floor. When the music in the downstairs bar was switched on I could understand every word...of the music, not of my thoughts. The reception ladies couldn't help with tickets, but only tell where to go. The place's owner was drunk. Consequently, he smashed the first glass onto the flower shortly before noon. Shortly after noon I left the place, not having slept there one single night. I had a short but serious talk with the drunk owner. Let's give him a few weeks to get thinks back under control. For the time being I would avoid the place.close

BUT, as a travelling couple..it should at least be noted that there are lots of single older men and young women wandering around!!!!!! The staff tried two scams. One when they tried to overcharge on the food bill for drinks that we did not receive and then the following day, to pay a drinks bill, we gave them a large note that had just been received from an ATM..it was in perfect condition, but they gave it back to us ripped and then charged us for the fact! The room was more akin to a prison cell, no windows and tiles up to 2 thirds of the wall....also its description being waterfront is a lie...if you cross the road and then climb over a building...only then can you see the water! If you are a single male, this is ideal...as a couple i would say, find somewhere else!close

Good location for arriving at night, right next to bus-stop-square, on the river. Decent beds, rooms lacking character, but functional. Reasonable staff.

Really nice room, although a little on the small side without a window. $20 if you wanted a window. The room was very clean all with air-con, hot water and cable TV. Staff were exceptionally friendly. Big plus is the cool bar downstairs that serves excellent food.

We did not have a good experience. The taxi that the Guest house arranged charged us 12 dollars which it appears is almost double the going rate.

The taxi that the Guest house arranged charged us 12 dollars which it appears is almost double the going rate. Also, when we arrived we were shown 2 rooms that were available. There were no windows in the room, the rooms smelled, there was evidence of mold on the walls and there was water all over the bathroom floors. These conditions were inadequate so we found another place 2 doors down the street. Also, the guarantee reservation provision on your website is a bit misleading. I thought it was a new free feature on you website. After i paid for my reservation, i went and read the guarantee and realized i paid 2 dollars to secure a 2 dollar deposit.close

Good location for boats and bus to Siem Reap but a bit north of the main bars and restaurants in town (only 20 minute walk or 5 mins in tuk-tuk)

We really enjoyed our stay at the rhino. Those showers are definately refreshing. The staff are really friendly and the food is great. Overall we thought it was really good value for money and good fun too.

This guesthouse was very good. Nice decent sized rooms with hot shower, tv, air con, wardrobe and safe deposit. Excellent location and very good menu. A little bit noisy at night but not too late. Very nice cheap restaurants close by also and just across the road from the river.

Welcome to the Hotel California. We meant to stay for a night and over a week later we left with a heavy heart. After six months of travelling this is one of the best places we have stayed since leaving Blighty. Staff were superb and the owner, Tony, is a real diamond. Watch out for Elvis though!

Our room didn't have a window, but who realy cares when you're only in it to sleep and put on after sun cream. It really is only 50metres walk from the ferry terminal, if you, like us decided to take the boat from siam reap to here. When we were here, the 'fun' factor wasn't that crash hot. only ever about two middle aged men at the bar with the lovely bar staff. But...i'd stay here again. Have fun :)close
