If you are not away from fans, you may feel the heat in the night

Location friendly, cheap bar and clean rooms.

The place was lovely, a little bit loud because of the balcony over the street

Just minor things, I guess. The bathroom only had a small bar of soap, one sachet of hair shampoo and the rest of a roll of toilet paper. The sink was slightly detached from the wall and the crack in the bathtub was covered with duct tape.

Nice accommodation. A small hotel in such an old style. The equipment is a bit shabby, but still functional. Nice, friendly and helpful staff. Ideal location. Right next to the market and the river promenade and a short walk to the Royal Palace and Wat Phnom. I recommend a room with a balcony!

Really a great place to stay. Staff is super nice and friendly! Serving great food and drinks. Nice place very close to the river, to restaurants and bars. Stayed in private room, was very comfortable. Really recommended to stay here!

The room itself was fairly average with a cold shower.

Staff were very welcoming and friendly throughout our stay. Bottled water given each day. Location perfect.

No window in the room. No free accessible water (although a bottle given each at the start of stay)

Superb location to access places but also a quieter street. Host was very friendly. Easy access. Good working aircon. Large bathroom

Centrally located along the riverside. Very friendly and informative owner.

The location was so great, near the river and market. The owner and staffs were friendly, food and drink are tasty. I will come back here again for the next trips.

But the bathroom is bad

The room was good

Stayed in April 2023

I hope the bed could install the curtain because in the room, even in the hostel I hope a little bit privacy. And the water in the bathroom seems not strong enough. to sum up it just fit the price. hardly could we find another place with the low price.

the location and the price are the factors that satisfying me the most. it just near by the riverside and few minutes walking can achieve royal palace. besides the reception is very kind and can speak English well, very nice.

Bathroom could be cleaner

Looks a bit dodgy at first but the pub and the dormitory are quite nice. Kind staff. The beds are very big

Great location, just by the river. Walking distance to everywhere. Staff very friendly and helpful. Room beautiful and comfortable.

Unfortunately, it was not up to my standards. There were bugs crawling around on side table, the bath was duct taped and the sink was coming away from the wall. I can imagine the owners want to do well, and it must be really hard to make enough money to keep these places going, but I wouldn't stay again.

Great location and very friendly staff. Very cheap. Handy having air-con and fan plus bonus to have a balcony.

The Local Riverside Guest House/ Dot grill is an incredible location next to riverside in the heart of Phnom Penh City. The Owner Dot is so welcoming, friendly and kind. He and his staff are some of the nicest people I have met on my trip so far. They have an excellent selection of Khmer and western food all made by them fresh from the market. The place is clean, room and bed was comfortable and affordable. I would recommend anyone staying in the city to stay here I walked in not knowing what to expect and I have walked out with friends. Thank you Dot and the team you are the best! 🙏

No elevator. I'm 75 y/o I messaged them a week before I got there and ask for the lowest floor possible. They put me on the 3rd floor with steep stairs. They could have done better. Plus they lock you in at night. Like being in jail. My bathtub had duct tape holding it together and the water was only a small trickle. Not even enough to shower or shave' I booked for 3 nights and stayed only one. You can find better places at this price. I would not recommend this place

The staff

Stayed in April 2024

1. There is a long-term guest in the first bed, who never went out and was always in the room watching videos on his phone without headphones, even at 2am at night! I asked him to turn it down at night or use headphones, but the next night he continued disturbing with the sound at 2am. 2. I wanted to tell the manager, but there was a similar problem from his side. He plays loud music in the common area one floor down (even when nobody is there, maybe to discourage people from hanging out). But the speakers are next to the ceiling, so the sound from the speakers comes into the sleeping room. So finally, irritating video sounds at night + loud music from the morning from the manager. Disappointed.

Nice location. Comfortable bed.

I was unable to sleep due to hotel atmosphere because they neither provided AC nor fan. I booked other accommodation as It was very hard to spend the night. They also not returned my booking amount of next day while I left their accommodation. I paid booking amount on 1st day due to trust of booking.com. But after this bad experience I'll never go with booking.com and also I'll share my feedback to my network(relatives, friends and YouTube channel) and I'll make sure they never go ahead with booking.com
