Indochine 2 Hotel
A good mid-range choice
What we say: 
Located just off the river on Street 130, a giant yellow sign identifies this three-storey, spotless hotel. This great choice offers 35 big air-con rooms with tastefully decorated private bathrooms lined with attractive, clean checkered tile. The hotel is right near two great restaurants -- for Indian, try Seer-e Punjan, and for tasty Thai try Lemongrass. Most rooms are bright, with large windows and sheer curtains, though the sparse, windowless singles feel cell-like. The furniture seems fit for much smaller rooms, with small wicker chairs and miniature nightstands. Whereas most midrange hotels in the area require you to overlook a certain amount of shabbiness, the furniture looks new, the sheets are soft and clean, and the floors look sanitary enough to eat off. As it's away from the river, you get more for your money and less of the pedestrian and traffic cacophony ubiquitous on Sisowath Quay. It's a bit of a tour group haven though, so it can sometimes be hard to get service during mass check-ins and check-outs. Staff speak great English.

Good and Bad
Good: Friendly staff; great location. OK: Our room looked nothing like web site; small, worn; all power turned off when you leave including fridge so anything in it gets warm or spoils. The Bad: Really noisy!; people roaming, halls/rooms running, shouting, laughing til late at night. Mentioned to receptionist who said she had already tried to quiet them, but got nowhere. Moved after two nights. Paid $4 more for a large, quiet room a few blocks away.

A good deal
The staff are the real bonus here - very friendly and helpful. The rooms are spotless. The only downside are the clients who talk loudly in the corridor at 6am - but who's fault is that? Be considerate everybody. Definitely recommend.

Friendly staff and nice rooms.
We stayed for 6 nights in July 2010. The rooms were cleaned daily, the bed was comfortable and the shower had nice water pressure. We had broken our laptop and the staff helped us find somewhere to get it fixed, which we greatly appreciated, and were generally very friendly and helpful. The location was also great. The only negative is the fact they take in a lot of tour groups means there is a lot of thumping down the stairs at 8am every morning. So perhaps not the best place for those that like sleeping in! Otherwise a great stay - recommended.

Good choice
We stayed in an air con room for $15 a night. This room has no external window (the ones that do cost $20 a night), but the room was great. Extremely clean (possibly the cleanest we've stayed in) with a/c, free wifi, TV and fridge. It's in a good location also. The staff here are fabulous - very friendly and happy to offer advice and help in any way. The guest house also supplies a free safety deposit box.

Great location and service
Right around the corner from the waterfront, this hotel has an ideal location. It's easy to walk to the Royal Palace and National Museum from here, and is a bit quieter than the hotels right on the water. The waterfront is pretty but we didn't feel like we were missing much by not having a view. The room was acceptably clean although the sheets were a little threadbare. Just make sure to ask for a room with a window. The staff was great - even with a full hotel they knew our room number without our having to tell them, and were very helpful with arranging tuk-tuks and bus tickets. There is no breakfast available but right next door is a great restaurant that opens very early in the morning. We would definitely stay here again!

Great location, staff speaks English well, but...
We stayed for one night in a $20 twin room on the third floor. I understand that the newer, cleaner rooms are on the fourth floor. The one who stayed in had rather shabby furniture and the room had a musty smell. We were also badly bitten by ants that night. There were tons crawling on the floor and the wall above our beds. Also, the A/C and fan inside our room were rather dusty, and the debris fell onto my bed (which was under both).

Nice enough!
Stayed here for one night, nice enough place, clean rooms with hot water/air con etc. Saw the Indochine hotel by the riverside before visiting the Indochine 2 - the 2 has much nicer rooms. Almost by the riverside too.

Awesome Service
We stayed for three nights at $20/night in a big, air conditioned room with a balcony. The locations is perfect for walking to the palaces etc and the front desk spoke great english and were very helpful in organising drivers etc for us. The downstairs restaurant serves great local and western food, otherwise there are restaurants a couple of minutes walk in any direction. There was also a water bottle refill facility in the lobby.

Superlative service
We stayed here 2 times, staff were incredibly helpful and on our unexpected return treated us like long lost friends, even managed to find us a room even though they were booked out. Close to everything especially Lemongrass restaurant.

Friendly folks
I stayed here three times as I went in and out of Phnom Penh to other spots north and south. A little on the expensive side, but nice sunlit rooms, very friendly staff, and close to everything on the river.

Not worth the money
First night they charged me US$25 for a double telling me no other rooms were available. After complaining next day they went down to $23 and offered me a single without window for $15.

Indochine 1
I did not stay in Indochine 2 but in the original Indochine. Nice location with a view over Tonle Sap and Mekong. It is quiet even though it is located on one of the main streets in Phnom Penh. The staff are very kind and really helpful. It is a small hotel, and the staff will know you by name from the first day. And they really seem to care about you. A good choice if you go to Phnom Penh.

Clean but noisy
We spent four nights at the Indochine 2. It's very clean but the double bed is more a large single bed and it is quite noisy. We were awaken by the sound of TV from the next room every morning.

Excellent
Great location right near the river. Clean and spacious room with proper cable TV. Service was excellent. The hotel's own restaurant is pretty good; but the Lemongrass Thai restaurant two doors down is absolutely superb.
