This guesthouse is in a good location surrounded by the river to the east, local restaurants including a pretty good dim sim one with the popular freshly steamed pork buns out the front, the Independence Monument, the Royal Palace and one very nice Louisiana Fried Chicken burger eatery where we might have eaten three meals in a row!
Our fan room (USD$7 per night) was quite clean and decently sized, with a clean bathroom and cable tv. One of the pillows were stained and we had to request for another one. It was a nice stay to end our time in Cambodia, except the three flight of stairs that we had to conquer everytime we came back to the room as the air conditioned rooms were all placed on the second floor. One thing that was weird was the cleaner that we encountered several times who looked only like, 14 years old!
There was no wi fi but there were two computers downstairs in the lobby for internet use which was ok at downloading websites but for some reason wasn't strong or fast enough to send emails which was quite irritating. It was still better than nothing though, as internet access didn't seem to be a common service offered in guesthouses in this city.
Overall, a nice, good value guesthouse in a convenient location for tourists ready to explore the main attractions. Nothing spectacular to recommend itself but nothing major to complain about either.
