There was an Excellent breakfast at the organic restaurant downstairs. I had a private rooftop pool. The room is a bit basic with a cement floor, though lots of space and light. My room was on the top floor up a few staircases. The AC was necessary in the heat. Bed linens, ensuite shower and toilet closet were a serviceable, though suitable for price. […] The street was lovely with lots of shops and hotel was well located. The staff are few and the gate was locked at night. I enjoyed my stay and would return. Read more

Loved the neighborhood, and location...central to all tourist sites. The street also has a number of great local restaurants, shops, and even a wine store. The included breakfast at 'Nature', an organic cafe3 next door was a real treat. And. excellent attitrude and service from the staff. A solid good rating.

Enjoyed a very large, modern, and comfortable room. Hotel staff very attentive, friendly, and helpful. Very conveniently located to the skytrain. A lousy breakfast buffet is the only downside.

Much enjoyed my stay with friendly helpful staff. Only complaint is that the pool was located in nearby sister hotel. Otherwise A plus

Fabulous staff who repaired and or immediately addressed all problems. The breakfast is excellent complete with arts breads, fresh jams, a divine tropical juice and eggs to order. Wonderful central location walking distance to the river but away from the noise. Good over all boutique pick

This is a beautiful gem for 2.5 star hotel. I have stayed at 4 star hotels that are not as nice as this one. Whenever something is not perfect, just remember this is not a 4 star or 5 star hotel, and you will be just fine :) The staff here are fantastic. Next time, we will stay at the room with the plunge pool. It was sold out, unfortunately, but if […] you can get it, it's worth it (our friends stayed at one, and we got to see it :). Neighborhood is posh and a bit expensive, compared to other parts of Phnom Penh. Read more

Great place. Good location (quiet, but still ~10 min walk from the main strip), good breakfast, great wifi, etc. The staff had some problems understanding us (Canadians speaking English), but the signboard showing the expected prices for tuk-tuks to various popular locations in the city was very useful.

I want to give this Hotel higher marks, It is a very modern boutique hotel that could easily be at home in Soho in New York. The staff was very friendly and the rooms are very clean. The restaurant next door, is very expensive for Cambodia. The breakfast that I got there, that was included in the price of the room was delicious, it included passion […] fruit juice, yum. The street this hotel is a little off the beating path, but the street is quiet, which I appreciated after spending time in Phnom Penh, and Hanoi. There is a great Bar on the street, I believed it's called Ruby's and a great restaurant named Frizz Restaurant. Now the down side and why I can't give the hotel higher marks. To start, the room that I had paid for which was deluxe I found out after check in it was not available. They tried to apologies for the mistake with a free meal from their restaurant, but I feel like they should have told me this right away. The staffs understanding of english was minimal, there was a lot of misunderstandings. And finally there was no hot water. I would still recommend this hotel, because there is defiantly a charm about the place. Despite all this I had a great time there. Read more

We stayed here twice on our trip to Cambodia. We had an upper floor room which was spacious and has a patio with a wading pool. The hotel doesn't have an elevator. So be sure that you can climb a few flights of stairs if you want a higher-floored room. One interesting thing about this room was that the shower was separated from the sleeping area by […] a half-height wall and the shower door was clear. This would be fine for a couple. Since we had 3 people in the room we had to improvise a drape to add some privacy. We had a room on the first floor during our second stay. It was just as spacious and the bathroom was normal. you do lose the patio though. The facility has a modern minimalist look decorated with some antique wood panels from traditional Cambodian houses. Personally, I like the style a lot. The staff is very courteous and accommodating. The location is near the palace and waterfront but far enough away from the hustle and bustle to allow a quiet and peaceful rest. I would definite stay there again. Read more

Perfect location, Street 240 is one of the best dining and shopping streets in Phnom Phen, though away from the bar/nighlife area, so is nice and quiet. Also a short walk to many cultural sights, including Royal Palace. The hotel itself is perfect, crisp and clean white rooms and friendly, helpful staff. We will certainly stay here again when in to […] wn. Read more

Very clean and comfortable hotel only a two minute tuk-tuk ride away from the riverside/palace/museum areas, on the same road as Mekong Quilts and other NGO shops and Frizz restaurant, which has excellent fish amok! Staff were very friendly and helpful. The adjacent organic restaurant has delicious food, a breakfast of toast, eggs and fresh fruit was […] included. Great value for the price! Read more

Great location (lots of good restaurants and shops nearby + walk to the National Place). Stayed in the room with the mini pool which was lovely. Staff is exceedingly friendly and helpful. I also loved the attached cafe for a very convenient and healthy breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It was great to be able to take a dip in my private 'pool' after a long day out on the town. The staff was pretty quiet unless I asked them something & then they were very helpful.... I asked if they could put me on a bus to Siem Reap in the morning (at about 11pm) and they did so without any hassle. Breakfast was great (yummy passion fruit jam) and […] the room was very 'cool' and felt like home. Despite complaints, I was on the top floor and the staff brought my bag upstairs so it was not a problem... and really if you're about to visit the temples of Angkor Wat you have bigger steps to worry about!

Lovely hotel with beautiful gardens and pool. Right on the beach. The staff were excellent - friendly, happy and helpful without being in your face.

Genuine Expedia guest review

This place was very nice. Great breakfast, neat spacious room with great handmade soaps! Staff was very nice and quite helpful. Located just off a main road and within minutes of palace and other tourist locations by tuk-tuk which are always waiting out front. I am typing this review using their free wifi from the comfort of my room before I check out. […] If I ever come back to Phnom Penh, I will stay here again :) Read more

Nice hotel, big rooms, great location (although, there is a construction site nearby), great breakfast, extremely friendly staff. Rooms in need of a refurbishment.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Booked a room with a terrace which was on the 3rd floor (room10). Firstly, currently (April 2013) there is construction work in the building next door, which is very very loud - banging, power drill noises etc. they warn you on checkin to expect it between 8am-6pm. At no point was this mentioned during our booking!! The bed was awful, the worst I've […] ever slept on. It must be very old mattress, you can feel springs sticking into you back. After complaining, all mattresses in the 240 are like that!! There was a cockroach in the shower. There is a large gap around the terrace door, so you get noise and heat, not to mention insects coming through it. I got badly bitten during the night, despite using their mosquito net and using our own plugin insect repellant - must have been a bug in the bed! We asked for a hotel change and they sent us to the "Blue Lime" (their partner hotel) which was only marginally better, but a much better mattress to sleep on. The 240 doesn't have a pool so they give you a voucher to use a partner hotel's pool. BREAKFAST is OK you get a roll and some eggs from the restaurant next door. Read more

Overall good, just noise from construction very loud. Breakfast very good and service.

The staff in this are fabulous. They go out of their way to be helpful. They will help you in anyway possible. Good location and close to major sites. Would recommend this hotel to friends.

Plunge pool rooms are great. Breakfasts are best I had in Cambodia! Short walk to use pool at nearby hotel - pavillion which is good

Genuine Expedia guest review

The street the hotel is located on is quaint, with several interesting shops and a fantastic bakery down the street. It's not too far from Sisowath Quay, about a 15 minute stroll. The rooms are big and airy, with a nice retro feel to it. Breakfast was also tasty, although it doesn't vary... Started getting monotonous after the 2nd day. Unfortunately […] there is construction going on next door which is really noisy Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

We stayed here 4 nights, It was very noisy every day from 8 a.m to 5pm from builders next door, I think we should have been warned when we booked the hotel. The bathroom loooked very nice but the floor was flooded every time we used the shower.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The service was great. When we arrived they served us drinks, gave us a map and explained to us what's around the hotel and all the attractions to visit in Phnom Penh. They also will let you know what is the usual price of the tut tuks for each destination so that you won't get cheated. The room was lovely, not the typical hotel room look and feel. […] There are a couple of good restaurants and a lovely bookshop next door. About 10 minutes walk to the National Museum. I didn't enjoy the breakfast though, since it was very limited and repeated everyday. Read more

A nice comfortable place to get your feet on the ground in PP. Spring for the room with the private plunge pool...it was worth it. Fridge and wifi much appreciated. Supermarket nearby for self catering.

A great hotel in an excellent location - just a short walk down the road to the Royal Palace and the river. The room was lovely and clean, spacious and had tea/coffee, hairdryer and fruit. The staff were very helpful and the cafe next door served nice food. Breakfast was simple, but you could pay for extras - would recommend the fruit pancakes! A good […] spot and would certainly come back if in PP again. Bathroom and bedroom is a bit open-plan, so might suit couples better than 'friends' travelling together. A nice place for lone travellers too though as safe and near alot of the main sights. Read more

Overnight stop before being picked up for Mekong Delta tour. I would liked to stay longer just to stay at this hotel. The room was large and comfortable. Staff were very accomodating. Breakfast was delicious. We have been impressed by most of our stays in Asia, but this hotel stands out.

Lovely place to end up after a very long journey. Staff were incredibly nice, huge bed and great organic breakfast.Going to stay at sister hotel on way back.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Very nice intimate hotel (only 10 rooms). Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Good location as only a few doors from some bakers/cafe shops, clothing boutiques etc and only 15 minute (1km?) walk from main water front and major choice of restaurants, shops, cafes etc. Breakfast was limited but surprisingly sustaining. Terraced room was nice to have […] the opportunity to sit outside and have a drink (weather permitting). No real hanging and storage space in the room, so if staying more than only a couple of days bring coat-hangers or be prepared to live out of your case. Daily maid service was thorough but everyday found private items had been moved, consequently somethings were misplaced never to be seen again. Some very small maintenance issues that need addressing ie, room safe not functioning properly and small water leak under toilet. In conclusion for the cost, location and service we would recommend this hotel as a good find. Read more

The 240 is a great place and an oasis of calm in a busy city. We found the location superb, the plunge pool fabulous in the heat and the staff very welcoming.

Hotel is well located with a good selection of restaurants, coffee bars and shops within a few minutes’ walk. Breakfast is next door with fresh bread, eggs, fruit, juice and tea/coffee and for a treat if like us you are missing cheese after 10months travelling the world there is a shop called the “Shop” down the street with an excellent European selection. If […] you arrive in PP by plane get your visa online before so you can bypass the queues on arrival and arrange for the hotel to collect you in their Jaguar for only a few more dollars than the tut-tut but with cold drink and towel. Central Market and some of the long distance buses are 10min / $2 tut-tut ride away. Read more

Excellent new hotel with lovely rooms and friendly and helpful staff. We liked the painted murals and contemporary take on traditional design of the rooms and restaurant area. Excellent breakfast with fresh sourdough bread, although could be varied a bit.

We enjoyed our one night at The 240. Spacious room and good service. The only thing that is not made completely clear is that you have to go to other hotels if you want to swim in the pools. Would stay again.

Fantastic stay. room cool and comfy. Bed a wee bit hard but no prob sleeping. All beds I have come across so far same so just about used to the hardness. Staff were extremely good and helped with anything we needed. Breakfast was terrific and plenty of it. great stay and will be back. thanks.

The 240 is a great hotel which has been decorated using Chinese insipred themes, which we loved. The rooms are spotless, cosy and comfortable. The bathroom and toilet were also very clean. The location of this hotel is in the posh 270 street with many restaurants and cafes in the vicinity. The royal palace is also within walking distance of the hotel. […] We had come back to the hotel in the afternoon , totally drenched from the rain and the staff were kind enough to give us a room to change our clothes and dry ourselves,even though we had checked out earlier in the morning. We will always appreciate this. All in all a great experience and we would definately come back to stay here !! Read more

The hotel is beautifully designed. The room was very clean and the bathroom was also great. The breakfast is great also, they give you coffee, fresh juice, eggs and fresh bread and butter. Also, you can use the swimming pool at their sister hotel, which is a short walk away. And towels are provided there. We really liked this hotel!

This was a really lovely contemporary styled hotel on 240 street, in one of the nicer areas of the city - a haven from some of the dirt and grime of some of the other parts of the city Style might not suit everyone - eg open plan shower, but we loved it. Small private balcony too Simple but fresh and stylish breakfast Highly recommended!

Lovely little boutique hotel in a cute neighborhood in Phnom Penh. It's very close to the central area walking or by tuk tuk.

What a great little hotel, close to the Royal Palace. If you are looking for loads of amenities and public areas then not for you. But if you want a large modern comfortable room with good aircon, powerful shower, wi-fi (and 4 guest computers available), fridge, tv and safe - all on a great street with loads of shops and restaurants, then this is perfect. […] Our room also had a small roof terrace. The price also included a nice breakfast served in the downstairs cafe. Brilliant value. We could have used the pool at a sister hotel, but didn´t bother. Read more
