Hotel Cambodiana

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the exquisite garden restaurant within a Cambodian hotel (Hotel Cambodiana), and it was a truly memorable evening. The setting itself is a masterpiece, nestled beautifully alongside a tranquil river walk, creating a serene and picturesque atmosphere, especially as the sun began to set around 5 pm.
What truly elevated the experience, however, was the warm and welcoming presence of Miss Nu. Her polite and intelligent demeanor immediately made me feel at ease, and her invitation to dine was irresistible. I'm so glad I accepted!
The garden restaurant is not only perfectly situated, but also beautifully furnished and landscaped. Every detail, from the comfortable seating to the lush greenery and carefully chosen decor, contributed to the overall sense of tranquility and elegance. It was a feast for the eyes as well as the palate.
The food was exceptional. I indulged in the Australian meat, which was cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. As the evening progressed, the restaurant filled with a pleasant buzz of conversation, and the soft strains of music began around six, adding to the already magical ambiance.
This garden restaurant is a true gem in Phnom Penh, a perfect blend of natural beauty, impeccable service, and delectable cuisine. It's a testament to the thoughtful design and the dedication of staff like Miss Nu, who create such a welcoming and enjoyable experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a special dining experience.

3.8 stars.

Was given a room on the 5th floor, it looks as though the entire floor has been renovated and refreshed. Not sure if the same can be said about all the floors.

The beds however were pretty broken and sunken in. Breakfast spread was plain and rather underwhelming. Besides that had a pleasant stay.

Located in the heart of the city, the hotel offers stunning views of the Mekong River and is within walking distance to many of Phnom Penh's main attractions.

The hotel's rooms are spacious and elegantly decorated, with comfortable beds and modern amenities. I was particularly impressed by the hotel's attention to detail, from the fresh flowers in the room to the complimentary bottled water.

The hotel's facilities are also top-notch, with a beautiful swimming pool, a well-equipped fitness center, and a relaxing spa. The hotel's restaurant serves delicious Khmer and international cuisine, and the breakfast buffet is a great way to start the day.

What truly made my stay special, however, was the exceptional service provided by the hotel's staff. From the warm welcome at check-in to the helpful concierge service, every interaction with the staff was friendly, professional, and attentive.

Overall, I highly recommend Hotel Cambodiana to anyone visiting Phnom Penh. Its combination of comfortable rooms, excellent facilities, and exceptional service make it the perfect choice for both business and leisure travelers.

I absolutely love this hotel because it is beautifully situated by the riverside, allowing us to take leisurely walks behind the hotel and enjoy the scenic views. The room is quite acceptable, although it appears to have been built quite some time ago. The room where I stayed features a lovely river-view window; however, the view is somewhat obstructed by a roof underneath, which can be a bit distracting. Overall, it’s a charming place that I would recommend to others..

Although the room is old-fashioned and could use some refreshing, it is very clean and spacious. Staff—from security, front desk, housekeeping, all of them—are friendly, attentive and very helpful (not all of them speak good English but they are willing to help!). In addition, the river view room is worth it! I enjoyed my stay.

This legendary 5-star international hotel still breaths the atmosphere of the 90's when many diplomats and head of states resided here. The hotel is clean and the service is impeccable. Though the building is old and in need of some renovation. The Khmer style from the outside and equipped with a gym, swimming pool, restaurant and bar. Good food. Certainly worth the money.

Buy cake there.. good tast...
