Phnom Penh 51 Hotel & Residences

Located with a great view of the Independence Monument from the rooftop pool. Not really a walking area as not much in the immediate vicinity and crazy roads to cross to get to the monument to area and beyond. But always tuk tuks available out front. Got upgraded from a Junior Suite to a Suite which was nice (but not exactly what you picture a Suite to be like if you’ve stayed in suites in other hotels). Had to extend my stay and only available room was a “Deluxe” which strangely had the bathroom sink just inside the front door instead of in the actual bathroom, which was quite small and nowhere to hang a towel. Beds good, balconies decent size, breakfast fine. Mixed drinks at rooftop bar hit and miss. Our long island ice teas tasted different each time. The food is a let down. Looks good in pictures on menu tablet but doesn’t match. Don’t order anything with “chicken” as what you get is some kind of bony little pieces of grissly things that you end up just spitting out. Reception staff really lovely and the wait staff at the roof bar nice too but there are a couple of guys who work at the roof bar behind the bar and arranging tables who never crack a smile, bordering on hostile. Overall good value for money and about a 10-15 min tuk tuk ride to riverside where the action is.

Clean room, free water, nice view, the girl on reception let me see two of the two bedrooms apartments so I could check the size to see if it would be bigger enough for us as I have family coming in a few weeks. Now I will be booking this accomodation again for in a few weeks time for me and my family.☺️

The breakfast was delicious (small buffet). I didn't try the pool, but the view on top of the hotel with the pool is great. The location is great and the room was comfortable. The staff was courteous. We were able to have a room with enough space (beds) for our little family of five with everything we wanted like the wifi, refrigerator, air conditioning so we were quite happy instead of booking two rooms.

The hotel offers descent room size, amenities and most of all the breakfast choice. I feel, they are are not compromising on any angle given the cost of room. The staff is also courteous and helpful. After all the experience in the hotel, when you step out you will realise how close you are to all the places you would want to visit.

A great place to stay in Phnom Penh. Our room was clean and comfortable, the pool on the roof is amazing. Breakfasts were simple but nice and tasty, everyone can find something that they like. The location is good, close to some sites and nice restaurants. There is a good supermarket in the same building.
