Alibi Guesthouse is located opposite a park and within easy walking distance to most of the attractions in Phnom Penh including the riverfront and palace, silver pagoda etc. It is located down a short alleyway which felt quite safe, easy to find and quiet. I arrived with Mekong Express buses from HCMC and it cost $3 for a tuk tuk... More

Stayed for two nights mid-May and thought this place was fantastic - clean room, nice communal balcony area to sit and listen to the city waking up, great location and absolutely lovely staff with good English. The only thing that bothered me slightly was a nearby bar with quite loud music, but they turned the volume right down after a... More

We found Alibi very late on in the day after arriving in Phnom Penh for just one night. Luckily there was a room left and for 17 US Dollars, it was a steal. Beware of low ceilings for the cheaper rooms as our room was like something out of Asian Hobbiton. Cleanliness of room was great, however the "wet room"... More

It has a fabulous location close to the Royal Palace, the River, shopping and restaurants. But because it is off the main Boulevard by 75 meters, it is a true oasis. Hidden behind high walls and large trees, this guesthouse is in a converted 3 story colonial mansion in a very peaceful environment. As noted by others, the staff is... More

This hotel is clean and quiet, the rooms are spacious, the breakfast is simple but free. Internet is free of charge and the location is really good (located close to the royal palace). The staff was very helpful and friendly. The rates are bit expensive for the local standard, but still it's a good place to stay while in the... More

The Alibi is a great guesthouse with an excellent location close to the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh. Our room was on the third floor, which is quite a climb as the staircase to the third floor is very steep and narrow. Luckily the hotel has staff to help carry suitcases up and down the stairs for you. Our room... More

This guesthouse is an oasis in the very busy Phnom Penh. They picked us up at the Mekong Express bus station, which was a very pleasant surprise as we had only emailed the request the night before. This was the start of a really fabulous experience. The guesthouse is really beautiful, terraces on every floor, very well cared for. Rooms... More

Tucked at the end of a short (dingy) lane, around the corner from the Palace and Silver Pagoda entrance, the location is excellent. A secluded guesthouse in what appears to have been a French villa with three floors plus attic. The best feature is the idyllic courtyard shaded by trees complete with gentle fountain. Here they serve a very basic... More

Alibi had everything we needed for a peaceful and comfortable night's stay in Phnom Penh. The villa is attractive, with a cool courtyard with water features and shared sitting areas and balconies on each floor. The lobby has dark hardwoods, fans, and a large circular staircase and has a computer for public use (wifi only worked in the courtyard and... More
