Golden Gate Hotel — Hotel in Khan Boeng Keng Kang

I stayed here with my family a few months back and have agonised on whether to write a review or not, but in the interests of others I've decided to.||||OK.. The good:||- it is in a good location, close to many things||- the breakfast is pretty good.||- the room was serviceable and had A/C||||The bad:||- The room may have been servicable, but it was quite old||- the height difference between the bottom of the bath/shower and the floor made it difficult to get out without slipping. My wife slipped twice and I slipped once. Both hurt ourselves.||||The ugly:||- I can't be totally sure, but I believe the in-house cleaning staff almost certainly steal from the rooms. One night I thought I heard someone in the room, but thought I must be going mad so I didn't think anything of it. In the morning the door was ajar and $50 was missing from my wallet. I know it was missing because I'd counted my money the night before. A day or so later, the cleaners had already serviced our room and watched me leave the hotel. My wife however was in our room with my sleeping daughter. Now normally the cleaners would knock and wait for someone to answer the door, but this time the cleaner very quietly clicked open the lock and slowly opened the door and got a huge fright when my wife approached. We had friends staying here as well and warned them all, but not all listened. The next day, our friends had their emergency cash wallet stolen from their bag whilst...

This 2.5-3-star in BKK1 is an oldie but goodie. The price of $15 per night in the annex keeps me there ($20 if you want breakfast included), along with the owners and staff members whom I have gotten to know. Every day your towels are changed, and a laundry basket is left for you for daily service. Wifi is free and service is good. There are quite a few restaurants and bars on St. 278 near Wat Langka, where the hotel is located. It's easy to catch a tuk-tuk to explore the city. If you're a walker, then it's not too far to walk to Independence Monument, Diamond sland, the Royal Palace, and the Riverside. You'll want a moto or tuk-tuk to take you to Central Market or Russian Market. The main downside is that there is a lot of construction noise because this part of Phnom Penh is changing quickly as high-rise apartments/condos and office buildings are...

I stayed here again after a long absence. The hotel is perfectly located within walking distance of restaurants and shops, near Wat Langka and a short distance from Independence Monument. Single rooms are $15-20/night and everything is functional in the room except the air con in my room which was not working well but not needed as I was staying in January when nights are cool. There is a breakfast buffet with eggs, bacon, friend rice and noodles, fresh fruits and coffee/tea. They clean the room everyday and wash your laundry every day for free. So good value for short or long stay....
