"If you have any need for fast, reliable internet, such as for business, stock market, etc... do NOT stay here. If that's not important to you, this is a fantastic place.
Pro: Decor is awesome in the lobby and rooms (used to be a brewery, polished up vats still in lobby); staff is pleasant and friendly (except the bartender, she didn't seem very joyful... maybe just a bad day), very clean, great shower (careful, the water gets hot enough to steep tea - not kidding).
Con: Internet must be dial-up. I've stayed in $4 a night hostels with better internet, it's absolutely useless here. They say at the counter ”our computers, phones, tv, etc... work fine here... while the tv behind the counter has a frozen screen. I had to go down the street to Brown, Starbucks, or Gloria Jeans (24hr), just to get enough internet to search for a plane ticket. I was told at the hotel that it must be my electronics, but when I informed them that the TV in my room doesn't get internet either (as well as my things work just fine everywhere else), they just kinda stared blankly (it's not their fault, it's management's fault for pinching pennies and paying for the slowest internet in all of Phnom Penh).
Neutral: Nice clean pool but you must wait for the top layer of ice to melt before you jump in... it's most definitely not a pool to relax in (I put this under neutral because I know there are people who like frigid water). And when you get out... no sun, no wind, lots of plants = hordes of mosquitoes."
