This is a boutique hotel, which means there aren\u2019t that many rooms.&nbsp; For US$44 per night, you get room with shower (no bath tub in my room) and a mini buffet breakfast on the top floor.&nbsp; The mini buffet breakfast includes 3 hot entrees (pan cakes, fried rice, grilled tomato with herb on Day 1 I stayed there; French toast, fried rice, grilled tomato with herb on Day 2), toast with butter or jam, 2 options for cereal, juice (orange, apple, pineapple), choice of eggs (scrambled\/ sunny side up\/ &nbsp;omelette with tomato\/ onion\/ cheese), coffee and tea.&nbsp; Though modest, breakfast is definitely filling.&nbsp; You can sit by a ledge to have your breakfast while you enjoy the view of the neighbourhood. My room was simple but adequate: safety box, 2 bottles of water, toiletries (toothbrush and toothpaste x 2 packs, comb, shower gel, shampoo, soap, body lotion, sewing kit, sanitary bag, shower cap), a box of tissues. I slept exceptionally well. I\u2019m not sure if it was because I was on holiday, and hence in a good mood, or it had to do with the mattress.&nbsp; The mattress is individually coiled so supposedly you won\u2019t disturb your partner.&nbsp; They help carry your bags and show you to your room personally.&nbsp; They light up the aromatherapy burner in the bathroom before leaving the room.&nbsp; A very nice welcoming touch after a flight. Another nice touch is that there were multiple power outlets in my room.&nbsp; You don\u2019t even have to bring your own power adaptor as the power outlets can take any plug. No coffee\/ tea\/ kettle I think because the tap water is not drinkable.&nbsp; No hair dryer. The staff is very friendly and polite.&nbsp; They are quick with your requests.&nbsp; The staff at the door greets you when you leave in the morning and again when you come back in the evening. There were a couple of mosquitoes in my room.&nbsp; They have a spray can of Rideout in my room, though I never had to use it.&nbsp; The mosquitoes don\u2019t bother nor bite me. The TV offers many, many channels, including Taiwanese, French, German, Russian, Korean, as well as the ubiquitous CNN, BBC, ESPN, Channel V etc.&nbsp; There is free Wifi in your room. There are a couple of restaurants offering Western and Khmer cuisine a few doors away. Though affordable (just like the rest of Phnom Penh), they are not exceptional nor bad.&nbsp; There is also a very small gym on the same street as the hotel.&nbsp; The gym also offers massages.&nbsp; There is a 24 hour minimart and a 7-eleven 10-15 min walk away on Sothearos Boulevard (3 streets away from hotel). I cannot recommend this hotel enough: the politeness of the staff, the buffet breakfast, free Wifi, great location, the many TV channels, the toiletries.&nbsp; Great value for money."}
