“Fabulous old world colonial hotel”

Reviewed 17 May 2013 NEW via mobile

The hotel was built in 1926 by the French. And restored after the Pol Pot regime was kicked out by the Vietnamese. It retains all the old colonial charm. The rooms are large with very high ceilings. The bars and other rooms are impressive with antique cabinets spread throughout the hallways and rooms. Fabulous place.

“Fit for Royalty - or jut the average person wanting a treat.”

Our group of 4 sadly departed this hotel today. It was our first visit to Cambodia we spent 4 nights in Siem Reap before arriving in PP. We all loved this hotel... The attentive, friendly & helpful staff, the cleanliness of the rooms (cleaned twice daily) the hotel amenities, the breakfast, everything was almost perfect my only suggestion to management... More

“History in Luxury Surroundings”

Reviewed 16 May 2013 NEW

Stop in to the Elephant Bar at the Raffles Hotel in Phnom Penh in the late afternoon and treat yourself to a wonderful relaxing atmosphere and superior service. The ambiance of the "bar" is historic, luxurious and so very comfortable. The prices of the drinks are not as high as you would expect and the selected menu offered is also... More

“Loved it, but would give Elephant Bar a miss”

Reviewed 15 May 2013 NEW

We can't really fault this hotel with just one exception - the Elephant Bar which was lightless and soulless. Otherwise comfy rooms, wonderful pool and of course that exceptional Cambodian hospitality. It has a bit of a corporate feel but then it's a city-centre hotel so that's to be expected.

Dear Valued Guest, I would like to thank you for your review on Trip Advisor. I am delighted that your stay with us was comfortable. We are in the process of planning a careful refurbishment of the legendary Elephant Bar. Whilst we will retain the colonial flair of this Phnom Penh institution, we will address design- and ambiance related aspects... More

“Well deserved #1 spot”

I really can’t add much to the other reviews here, it really is that good. We were upgraded to a bigger room with a butler service (a charming young lady whose name I sadly can’t remember), the service throughout the hotel was superb. As a few people have mentioned everybody knows your name, the bar staff greeted us like regulars... More

“I expected more”

Reviewed 14 May 2013 NEW via mobile

Following a great visit to Siem Reap we stayed for a couple of nights in Phnom Penh for a business meeting before heading back home. Great location, grand building (the decor could be more interesting, though, as it's almost nonexistent), great pool(s) and very friendly staff. Rooms could do with better showers (hate those American style showers which you can't... More

“Excellent base in Phnom Penh”

Reviewed 12 May 2013 NEW

We stayed at Raffles Le Royal for 2 nights and found it a very comfortable and convenient base from which to explore the City. We had a room overlooking the pool with a small balcony. It was a decent size with comfortable bedding and equipment. The breakfast available in Cafe Monivong was extensive and the staff in all areas of... More

Dear Valued Guests, I am delighted that your two nights stay was comfortable and memorable. Please accept my apologies for the recent city power cuts that affected the entire capital. Due to infrastructural work, the city has currently withdrawn government power from all hotels during daytime. The switching from hotel operated generators to city power usually happens in the evening... More

“As good as it was”

Reviewed 9 May 2013

I last stayed at this hotel 13 years ago, in the days when names didn't automatically go into databases. Imagine my surprise when a member of the reception staff, on seeing my name, asked if I hadn't stayed before. Perhaps it is just clever training, but it made me feel very good. There were a couple of minor minuses, so... More
