Description
Set in the heart of Phnom Penh's colonial district and within a short walk of both the Royal Palace and the riverfront, Boddhi Tree Aram is easily the most charming of the three Boddhi Tree properties in Phnom Penh. Set in a renovated 1950's house, Boddhi Tree Aram boasts soaring ceilings, airy rooms and interiors, a comfortable balcony cafeteria and a rooftop terrace. Rooms, while not massive are immaculate and well decorated (though we'd swap the TV for a minibar anyday) with piping hot water bathrooms and a comfortable common area/lobby to lounge around in. WiFi access is complimentary throughout. There are little flourishes throughout that differentiate Boddhi Tree Aram from some of its competitors, but first and foremost, we found the staff here to be outstanding. Travelling with a baby isn't always easy and we found the staff and owner incredibly accommodating. Our kitchen is your kitchen -- please make yourself at home was how we were greeted, and by the time we left, Aram truly felt like a home away from home. It's not cheap -- you'll get a property for half the price with a swimming pool elsewhere in Phnom Penh -- but you probably won't have the same glowing service nor be housed in such a lovely building (it was the Spanish owner's home before he transformed it into Boddhi Tree Aram). Recommended -- reservations essential.

Star-Royal Hotel
383 Sisowath Quay, Phnom Penh
Clean and modern with updated carpet and tiling throughout, the Star Royal has just one quirk: the hallways run the perimeter of what would have made a lovely courtyard were it not for the fact that a tin roof hides the ground below. Perhaps they ran out of space and needed a covered area to do... more
