I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, enjoying the lovely Khmer-inspired furniture and the friendly atmosphere. The location was fantastic, directly across from the Royal Palace, which made exploring easy. However, I noticed the rooms could get a bit hot and lacked soundproofing, allowing noise from adjoining rooms to seep through. The service was attentive and professional, but the dining experience left a little to be desired in terms of variety.
