The Hope & Anchor (previously known as Mikey's) is toward the northern end of Sisowath Quay, atop the same-named popular bar and restaurant. The entrance is at the back of the restaurant, up a narrow staircase. Rooms are a bit musty and outdated and the riverview rooms feel a tad empty as they're big but don't have much furniture -- all have TV, bar fridge, fan and are air-con. The décor lacks warmth, with cold tile floors and plain furniture. A small cloth-covered table that comes with complimentary supplies for making coffee and tea is an ok place to relax and chat after a long day of sightseeing. The six private verandas have great views over the river, and best of all, the entire building, located on the quieter, northern end of the riverside area, is shaded by several enormous trees -- a rare luxury in hot, dusty Phnom Penh. The cheapest rooms at the rear of the building are windowless.
