I stayed at the Himawari for 3 weeks in January 2012. On arrival our greeting at reception was warm and friendly. The staff speak English well and provided us with a welcome drink. Check in was brief and friendly. Our room was a 2 bedroom apartment with 2 bathrooms, a laundry, a kitchen and a large living room with sofas... More

We love our experience here. Great clean hotel close to everything in Phnom Penh. We reserve a suit that was not available in our arrival and they provide us with a full apartment with river and pool views. Service was great, restaurant breakfast was also great, good pool and room service. Our family enjoyed the stay here. We will go... More

Overpriced 3 star hotel. Paying for the location. Breakfast buffet is good More

Room is abit outdated but service would definitely make up for it! Location is very very very great! Perfect! Everything is within walking distance.. Spas, food, bars, clubbings, and shoppings! Himawari is at the heart of everything! If only they upgrade the hotel facility, himawari is just about perfect! More

I liked the location, 15 minutes walk on the riverside promenade to the partying downtown. I felt safe walking there and back also in the nighttime. The rooms have... More

After a lousy one night experience in another hotel (bougainvillier), I ended up there. The overall architecture and room design/deco are certainly not top class but not disgusting either. The hotel is comfortable, with a cool pool/bar area and views over the river. Staff is helpful and nice. All in all, good value for money (I paid USD 150 for... More

Stayed here for 5 days during a work trip to Phnom Penh. Room was large, and included kitchen and seating areas. Staff are friendly, and the general decor modern and well maintained. Balcony was a plus! My room overlooked the huge Cambodiana Hotel - so no river view, though it was pleasant just to look out over the city. Downsides?... More

My 3 week stay started badly - LARGE cockroach in the bedroom within a few hours of arrival. But got better as the days and weeks went by. Excellent internet access, although by cable not wireless. The management did not wholly match the pleasant building and rooms in a good location on the river front near all those great restaurants.... More
