I stayed again recently at this very nice hotel. Nothing much to add to my previous report in the post just above I had booked the same room category and received the same upgrade. Drink voucher, fruit basket and club access. Excellent staff everywhere.
Wifi was working (again) normally (last year it was extremely slow). I had already tried the spa before but this time I spent more time in as I booked a rate including 1 hr of massage every dayThis spa is really great !
Location
Among the new things, although not directly about the hotel, the adjacent Aeon mall is now open. And this is for the best and for the worst. The "best" : it's a luxurious very nice mall but with western prices (and even more expensive) : $111 for a Levis 501 at the Levis store). The worst : it generates so much traffic during the week end that the entire area is completely paralyzed. PNH airport is literally downtown and it never took me more than 30 min for airport/hotel trip (and reverse). This time, I landed in PNH at 6 pm and it took me 2h15 to reach the Sofitel, including 1h15 to make the last 700m. Even the tuk tuk and motorbikes could not pass. It seems that it's like that every week ends, particularly in the evening (I didn't have any similar problem the other days). Overall, the city is really booming (constructions everywhere) and traffic has clearly increased dramatically in the entire city.
Overall
So, another nice stay there and I definitely recommend this hotel if you go to Phnom Penh. I never posted pics during my previous reviews, so here are some, including the Club Millime. Enjoy
Main lobby and corridor :
Swimming pool (for hotel guests, as there is another one for external guests who have a subscription).
Luxury room :
and luxury toilets
Club Millime :

A quick review of my 5th stay at Sofitel Phnom Penh. Another excellent stay. Platinum recognition is always perfect in this hotel (check-in/out in lounge, club access, room upgrade, VIP treatment, drink voucher, etc).
Accor Cambodia properties (Siem Reap and Phnom Penh) are really the best ^
The hotel neighborhood is changing fast (for the best). Every year, I'm completely amazed by all the new constructions around and in PNH in general (from the lounge you have a very nice view on the city).
On my day of departure, an helicopter landed in the hotel garden. I thought that maybe it was a new Platinum benefit with free helicopter transfer to the airport
, but unfortunately no, just a kind of super VIP at the hotel

Another highly recommend hotel in SE Asia, in the fast growing Phnom Penh !

I still highly recommend this hotel if you go to PNH.

Lounge is the best asset although hot snacks were minimal.
Lovely pool and nice rooms.

I counted about 30 chairs. There is also one attached meeting room with space for a group of about 8 people. No age restriction on entry to CM.

Thank you for the pictures. Not bad but certainly not as nice as before. Can you look at my review in post #16 above and look at the 4th picture. Is the club now on the left where the Chocolate boutique/café was ? In this review you can also see the former Club when it was on the top floor
