4-Star Hotels in Phnom Penh

My boyfriend and I have traveled extensively across Southeast Asia, but this hotel is hands-down one of the best we’ve ever stayed at. The property itself is absolutely magnificent, and we spent hours enjoying the breathtaking rooftop pool. What truly sets this place apart, however, is the phenomenal staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming. We have to give a massive shout-out to Sros, who worked in the downstairs lobby. Every single day when we returned, he greeted us with such genuine warmth. He always took the time to ask about our day and chat with us—it honestly made our whole trip feel so personal and special. We also need to praise Chef Rethy, who made the absolute best omelettes my boyfriend has ever had in his life! We wish we could mention every single staff member by name because the entire team was fantastic. We cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. We will 100% be staying here again on our next trip to Phnom Penh!

The location was strategic, room was clean and just enough. The breakfast was good, one thing downside is the view of my room are not ok. And during heavy rain pour, it clearly can hear the rain drop on metal sheet roofing.

Hotel KVL has a lovely atmosphere and a great overall ambience. Although the area outside can be quite noisy, the room itself was surprisingly quiet, which made for a very comfortable stay. The bed quality was excellent and very comfortable, and the L’Occitane bathroom amenities were a particularly nice touch. Everything in the room felt well considered and made the stay feel a little more special. Service was attentive and welcoming throughout. I also really appreciated the selection of welcome drinks, including options like beer. Overall, a very pleasant stay with great attention to detail.

Location: at center of Phnom Penh, easily reach by grab. Room: neat and clean, size wise just ok, I get a nice view of Mekong river. Breakfast: variety not much but just ok you can request staff for additional egg menu. Staff: really friendly and greet you everytime. Shoutout to the breakfast staff who check with you everytime. Improve: although the towel is clean but it looks old and some have light yellowish stain which believes unable to wash out. It visible to naked eye. Which really unpleasant.

Our originally booked room would have been on the 9th floor, right below the pool and bar. We requested a different one. It wasn't the same category, but it was okay. The bed was a bit too soft and the pillows too thick. You can't please everyone, I guess. The bathroom was very small, but the shower had good water pressure and was hot. The breakfast area/cafe was far too small for so many guests, and it was too hot to sit outside. Breakfast was mediocre but sufficient. The location was superb. Very quiet on a side street, yet right in the heart of things. However, we had the bad luck of construction happening at the temple across the street. You should avoid that side of the hotel. The rooftop pool area is nice. The view over the city and the skyline, however, is sensational. Overall, the stay was good. We would gladly come back.

I had a very happy stay at this hotel, it’s showing signs of age but still perfectly acceptable, location was good for me as pretty central to access everything easily by Tuk Tuk. Pool area is very pleasant but sometimes staff absent so had to phone down, some good food deals and beer and drink available, some towels again showing signs of age so could do with being replaced. Restaurant on site and breakfast seven selection for all at $7 so good value. The staff as always in Cambodia are brilliant, I had good banter with the guys on the door and often bought them coffees and brought pastries for them. The coffee shop / stall offers coffees at$2.50 so good value as well and freshly made. The superior room was a god size, bed comfy and the shower was a good size and water was very good… I had a couple of small issues in the room but maintenance were in the room fixing it with 10 mins so absolutely fantastic. However the USB power sockets either side of the end did not work and could not be fixed so had to obtain an adapter as the UK socket would not fit the bedside outlets. I am returning in November and see no reason why I won’t stay here again, it’s a balance of value against facilities and this I believe is a great value for money hotel, yes there are fancier hotels ata much higher price and likewise there are cheaper ones that are definitely not up to the standard of this hotel. Enjoy your stay and please buy the guys a coffee and bring back a pastry if your out (they like the ones with custard in the middle lol)

The staff were very polite, friendly, and incredibly helpful. They assisted us throughout our stay and made our experience very pleasant. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and provided a relaxing place to stay. We truly enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend it to others.

Enjoyed our stay. Good location for local bars, restaurants etc. Room was good only bathroom had some small issues. Shower was not very hot and pressure of water went up and down. However a sign explained this was due to sustainable power/heating. The sink was not flowing properly. Service was great, people were nice!

This is our go-to hotel every year. It has that old-world Cambodian charm, and I love that it's so reasonably priced. The hot water works perfectly, and cleanliness is never an issue. There's a cheap laundry service nearby that even offers same-day delivery, which is a huge help. Breakfast from the restaurant with a great view is always a highlight, with plenty of variety to choose from.

Nice hotel, comfortable bed, spacious room. Breakfast included. Polite staff. I arrived from the airport at 7:00 a.m., and reception said check-in wasn't until 2:00 p.m. (The website says 10:00 a.m.). They asked for an early check-in fee of $10.
