We had a delightful two night stay at this property. If it was more accessible, I'd be back over and over. Treatment for globalists is extremely good. I had used a suite upgrade to be assured of a suite for our stay. I was upgraded further to an executive suite. It was very luxurious, perhaps designed for someone to live in it for some months. It had a living room, fully equipped kitchen with table for four, an office that could be walled off from the living room or the glass walls slid back as desired. The bedroom was spacious, the closet walk in with shelves and bars for easy access. The only downside was that the primary bath was right with one sink. There was a second toilet room off the entry. It was decorated in good taste with high end fabrics.

The executive lounge was luxurious with a range of seating. It was open from 1 on til 9. It offered an unremarkable afternoon tea from 3 to 4, then an impressive evening spread from 5:30 to 7:30. It had 3 salads, dumplings, another hot dish, cheese and meats along with breads, and a range of dried fruits, chips and nuts. It had 3 desserts. Staff was eager to be helpful and service was superb.

Breakfast was served in the main restaurant. It had several stations, one for Asian dishes, one for western, and a third for breads, cereals, and fruits.

The centerpiece of the hotel is a restored Colonial villa built in the early 20th century. It gives a sense of history when you walk in. I had two treatments in the spa. I found them well priced and extremely well done. I had considered leaving the hotel. There are plenty of local places t much less money. But reviews were caustic about each, talking about the staff being on their phones while giving massages. I went for the tranquility of the hotel environment.

The hotel is across the street from the National Museum, so in the heart of the city.

We used GRAB to get around. It was just $1.70 to go to the central market which gives an idea of how affordable it is. GRAB does not accept credit cards in Cambodia so we needed to exchange a nominal amount of money
