    The stairs are very narrow. Also I was on the last floor (4)

    The 2d room they gave me was ok. AC worked better than the 1st one plus have a fan. Good size of room with fridge and kettle . Location, very close to the palace and markets

    The front staff doesn't speak much English but they use phone and let you speak with a good English speaker. The staircase is a bit narrow because of the old building. No drinking water were served.

    Cheap, clean and decent in the good location right by the Royal palace and river side. Electric kettle, refridgerator, international cable TV with this price is wonderful. Mini marts were within 100 meters range and the local restaurant is at the ground floor. Very convenient.

    Wouldn’t recommend their laundry service, the clothes came back smelling worse than we gave them. They were packed in small bags still damp and condensation all over the bag

    Good location. Room was comfortable and spacious. They organised our bus transfer.

    Gets noisy as it's on the main road but everything seems to close rather early. No lifts luckily I was only on the second floor!

    Really good location, on the same road as the Kings Palace and walking distance to old market, night market and the river. Room was basic but comfortable with all the necessities, fridge, kettle, shower, AC, TV, WiFi. Staff very friendly and helpful, I booked a bus to Siem Reap through them for no extra fee. There's also a balcony at the end of the corridor overlooking the busy street which which was nice. Overall nice stay for 2days.

    There is no elevator to the 5th floor so was a bit of a struggle with a big bag as the staircase is narrow and steep but if you’re fit it’s okay and was worth it for the view. Our bathroom door also didn’t shut or lock.

    We stayed on the 5th floor which had an amazing sunset view. The room was clean and comfortable. I became ill on our last day and was unable to travel. The staff were very kind and helped us to change our transportation and extended our stay for the night. The location is also great, right by the river and close to a shop, pharmacy, restaurants and the palace.

    The stairs are narrow and steep. That is what it is. But not for people with mobility issues

    Great location, close to the museum and the King's palace, wonderful staff, clean rooms. Plenty of cafes nearby. Although the one associated with the guest house was great.

    The shower did not have very strong water pressure and the shower head could do with cleaning or changing. As it was overlooking the street it was a little noisy at night.

    The staff were very helpful and the location was good for the Palace, market and other city centre activities. The room was a good size and there was a shared seating area on the corner of the corridor overlooking the street and the gardens.

    We had a little trouble communicating, as most of the time there was no one on site with even a little English, but that was just minor inconvenience

    The rooms are basic but comfortable. We stayed on top floor - there is no elevator, but the views from the balcony are phenomenal, with Royal Palace, National Museum and city skyline in front of you. Within walking distance to all main attractions and the riverside.

    Noisy location, expect it until 12pm. 5th floor stairs are a killer. Needs a bit of TLC

    Aircon/Fridge Mattress. Location, near places to see and value restaurants. Value for money, it's never gonna be the Ritz at this price! Helpful owner.

    Very noisy area, i would suggest earplugs at night. Top floors are a climb! Bathroom had no ventilation. Towels and sheets were old.

    Close to main attractions, restaurants etc. The mattress was comfortable. It s ok , but don.t expect a lot.

    The bed was a very hard memory foam mattress and the walls had gecko poop everywhere. I counted at least 17 poop stains, it was gross! There were water damage on the wall by my side which was nasty as it bubbled by my side of the bed. The AC leaked dripped down the walls and my husband noticed it got his bag wet. We moved it away. I was grossed out by the poop on the walls.

    Location was great! The AC was cold, there were a couple amenities that we really appreciated, a safe lock box and clean fridge! There was a desk and chair which was very helpful! Oh, if you have trouble with stairs be sure to ask for lower rooms, we got 4th floor (but you're actually walking up to 5th floor) as they didn't have any lower floors available. They told us we could change rooms next day but we decided to just stay and get in the extra exercise. I would have rated it a 6 out of 10, but because of the safe and fridge I'm giving it 7 out 10.
