Dara Reang Sey Hotel

More than adequate - 18th October, 2009
Spent 2 nights here. Had a clean, spacious room with two double beds (this was my ''single'') in the new building, plus air-con, TV and hot water shower. $20 for the room. Their restaurant across the street serves good Khmer food.

Clean rooms, good location in Phnom Penh - 8th July, 2008
Stayed in the newer building on two occasions in June and July 2008. Paid US$17 for a twin room when sharing with another person and $15 for a double room when alone. The rooms are very clean and pretty nice for this price range and the location is convenient. There can be a lot of noise from the street, but to me that's just part of staying in a busy city. Probably not the best value in Phnom Penh, but definitely a good choice in the mid-price range. The staff were always friendly enough.

yikes! - 31st May, 2009
Actually, I didn't stay there after I saw how crummy that place was. From the other reviews, I was under the impression that they'd be really minimal, but at least clean and nice. But it was old and dirty and meldewy too. Therefore, after seeing three different rooms and noticing there isn't much of an improvement on quality, I end up staying at Mekong, which is on the main strip and that was so much better.

Anywhere but here! - 22nd February, 2008
Stayer there 3 nites. One upon arrival and two at end of trip. Nothing special. Asked for a room at the back and got one near the street even though I'd specified in my reservations. Hospitality? No different than most other places I've stayed. One night (a Saturday)had disco music coming from somewhere nearby. I asked the owner and they played dumb. Think there must be a weekend disco nearby. Bought bus tickets from their ''tourist office'' and think I was over charged as I bought tickets from another guest house for a much longer distance and paid the same price as I did for the shorter distance tickets from Dara Reang. Think there are much better options in Phnom Phen than this place. Giving it a 2 as I did sleep well there one night out of three.

Hit and Miss - 9th January, 2007
I stayed in two different rooms in the old building, and one in the new. The first room was windowless and felt like a tomb ($8). The second was much nicer, on the third floor with a common balcony, but there was an empty space where the TV was supposed to be, and when they brought the TV per my request, they forgot the remote, which is the only way to operate it (I didn't want the TV anyway, but I paid for it, so....) Then there was a discrepancy over whether I was supposed to have hot water or not. For $12 a night, I believe I should have, and eventually did - but not without a debate (NOT with Ms. Dara - she's wonderful). The room in the new building (across the street) is very nice - hot water, nice tile, and new paint (I'm getting a discount because Ms. Dara remembered me from my earlier stay in the old building). The definite highlight of Dara Reng is Ms. Dara herself. What a delightful person. So is her friend (sister?) They are very helpful with your onward planning. The man who works there is kind of a...well, he's not particularly helpful. They have a restaurant attached that gets very busy, but I did not eat there. Points taken off for the tomb-room and ''Mr. Attitude.''
