Pretty disappointed with this hotel. Stayed here for three nights in the King Suite with balcony whilst in Phnom Penh.
The room had mould on the walls and on the roof in the bathroom and bedroom section. There was a horrible smell coming from the drains in the bathroom, which travelled into the bedroom. The water pressure was intermittent and slow and a hot water system that was installed in the shower had a cord that would zap you if you accidentally touched it (which would happen often because it was right near the stream of water). One of the blinds in our room was broken and we couldn't open it. The electrical points in the room were unsafe (one of the covers kept falling off and I was zapped twice when trying to charge my laptop). The breakfast area was small. We had to share a table with another couple one morning and there wasn't a great selection of food. Our air conditioner didn't work properly. Whenever we were in our room we had it on 16 degrees and the fastest speed and the room was still warm. This meant that we had to have the air-con on the whole time during our stay. The air-con was noisy and loud. The room didn't have an iron or ironing board and when we asked the concierge if they had one, they said the whole hotel only had one and we had to wait fill another guest had finished using it.
I have given this hotel a two and not a one, because the staff were friendly and the hotel is in a good location. The bed was comfortable and the roof top bar was nice. The views from our room were good and the suite was a...
Read moreThe Point Misses the Mark: A Stay That Fell ShortThe Point Hotel had its moment—a sleek remodel a few years back—but time hasn’t been kind. What’s left is a place that feels worn at the edges, like a once-sharp suit now fraying at the cuffs. The staff? Polite, accommodating, even apologetic. But good intentions can’t paper over the cracks. My first room was a sauna masquerading as a 9th-floor suite. The AC wheezed and sputtered, utterly defeated by the Phenom Penh sun. No relief, no breeze—just stale, humid air and the creeping realization that I’d made a mistake. To add insult to injury, the Wi-Fi was practically nonexistent, turning what should’ve been a quick work call into a farce. Picture this: me, pacing a narrow corridor, hauling luggage up and down an elevator that demanded its own special key (which, of course, I kept forgetting). A comedy of errors—if only it were funny. Then came the housekeeper—efficient to the point of abrupt, offering solutions that felt more performative than practical. When I finally called Trip.com for help, the spotty connection turned the conversation into a game of broken telephone. (Irony, thy name is weak Wi-Fi.) The staff did relocate me to another room, but by then, the damage was done. Too many red flags, too little charm. I checked out early, still wondering what, exactly, "The Point" was supposed to be. A lesson learned, if nothing else: sometimes, a fresh coat of paint...
Read moreFor a good price, you can get a fairly sized room; and for a great price you can get a small room. All rooms come with bathrooms.
I have stayed here a number of times over the last several years. Location is good if you want to be close to the river, if you want to be close to all of the girly bars, or close to some of the markets including the central market.
There are better areas to stay that have some of the same features like our little less red light. And more restaurant friendly.
Hotel. They no longer serve breakfast. The rooms range from under 200 square feet, to about 330 ft
I had a nicer room on this last stay and it was all right. It did not come with hand soap, or very much toilet paper;, the air conditioner was only adequate. But it was inexpensive. And it is certainly an adequate place to space stay for a very good price.
Do not expect frills. The room had a slight smell, phone no longer works. The towels are leaning toward the thin side and a bit ratty. Water pressure was only fair. And when you are not in the room all the power gets shut off so you cant even charge your phone. And one key per room.
But if you want a good reliable place to sleep that's inrxpensive, near the river and in the thick of the red light district and you know what to expect and not expect, this place...
