The hype
Travelers are blown away by the room size and the rooftop pool view, often calling it the best value in Phnom Penh.
The Peninsula Phnom Penh
$70-120/ éjszaka
Foglaljon ezt, ha You want a spacious, modern apartment with a killer rooftop pool for half the price of a cramped room in the city center.
Miért szeretik az emberek
- The rooftop infinity pool offers arguably the best sunset views of the Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers
- Apartment-style rooms come with full kitchens and washing machines
- It's quiet and removed from the chaotic noise of the main Riverside bar district
Gyors áttekintés: This is a high-end condo building that functions as a hotel, so don't expect the white-glove service of the famous 'Peninsula' luxury brand—they are completely unrelated.
Értékelte @comeflywithlove: I stayed in the 2-Bedroom Suite and it felt like a luxury apartment. The rooftop infinity pool at sunset was my absolute favorite spot to unwind with a drink. If you want space and killer views of the Mekong, this is the place.

Reality check
The location is polarizing—you either love the peace or hate the commute across the bridge to get to the 'real' action.
- You are a digital nomad needing a co-working space and reliable Wi-Fi
- You are a family who needs a 2-3 bedroom suite with a kitchen and laundry
- You prefer a quiet night's sleep over being in the center of the nightlife
Tisztaság és karbantartás
9
- Housekeeping: Daily service is reliable; guests consistently praise the 'spotless' feel of the apartments.
- Bathroom hygiene: Modern and clean. Grout is generally well-maintained, though humidity can cause minor mustiness in lower-floor units if left closed.
- Maintenance: Newer building (opened ~2019), so everything still feels fresh, though some wear and tear on furniture is starting to show.
- Linens & towels: Crisp white linens, typical 4-star quality. Towels are fluffy and replaced daily.
- Odors & scents: Generally fresh; the 'new condo' smell is still faintly present in hallways.

GYIK és rejtett tippek
Minden, amit tényleg tudni szeretnél a foglalás előtt.
Is this the famous 5-star Peninsula Hotel?
No. It is a completely independent property with no relation to the Hong Kong-based luxury chain. It's a 4-star residence hotel.
How do I get to the city center?
You need to take a tuk-tuk across the Chroy Changvar Bridge. It takes about 15-20 minutes and costs $2-4 via Grab/PassApp.
Is there a free boat shuttle?
No. Unlike the Bangkok Peninsula, there is no free boat. They offer a paid 'Sunset Cruise' but for transport, you rely on road vehicles.
Is the area safe?
Yes, Chroy Changvar is an upscale residential district and generally feels safer and less chaotic than the riverside tourist strip at night.
Do the rooms have balconies?
Yes, most rooms feature spacious balconies, which is a rare perk in Phnom Penh hotels.
Is breakfast included?
Depends on your booking, but it's served at the on-site restaurant (often Maison Kayser pastries/menu) and gets mixed reviews for variety.
Insider tippek
- ✨
The rooftop bar has a Happy Hour (usually 5-7 PM)—go then for the sunset view without the full price tag.
- ✨
Walk 5 minutes to 'Food Palace' near the roundabout for cheaper local eats if you're tired of hotel food.
- ✨
The 'Studio Deluxe' is often priced similarly to standard rooms but includes a kitchenette—always check the upgrade cost.
5 dolog, amit tudnod kell az utazás előtt
💡The 'River View' actually faces the Tonle Sap, not the Mekong (though the hotel sits between both).
💡The in-room washing machine is a lifesaver in Cambodia's sweaty heat, but it takes forever to dry clothes (no separate dryer, usually a combo unit).
💡The lobby can feel a bit sterile and empty compared to a bustling hotel—it feels like a condo entrance.
💡You might see 'ghost' listings for this property on Airbnb—it's safer to book via major hotel platforms to guarantee the front desk service.
💡The gym view is actually inspiring—floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city, not a basement dungeon.
