I stayed at this hotel when I arrived in Phnom Penh. The first room I was allocated (426), was OK. There was hot water in this room. I returned after a few days in Siem Reap. On this occasion, I was allocated another room (300). Whilst this room has a better view of the river than the other room, the... More

Ugh, leaving here today and will never look back! Staff is irritating and all of them just want to swindle you. Always lying, changing their story etc, looking to pocket an extra buck from you whenever possible. I don't mind losing an extra $1 here or there but the dishonesty of everyone working here is REALLY getting under my skin.... More

Travel to a foreign country always requires patience and a passion for adventure. The River Star is a true journey back in time. Sure it has seen better days but the staff is nice and works so hard to please. There is one common free computer in the lobby to use but I always got mosquito bites there. The fans... More

For a night life or party goers, this is the place where you want to be in Phnom Penh. not the hotel but the location. The hotel I must say, decent room. Toilet... More

There are many hotels of this caliber around this area of PP so I tend to try a different one each time I come. When I arrived in town I was a bit tired and when the tuk-tuk driver directed me to this place (after I specified my budget and favoured location) I had a quick look and moved in.... More

Saw $17 rooms advertised on agoda, so managed to bargain for a nice room with 2 small double beds, little window, big bathroom, big room (and then didn't have to pay agoda fees!) Had great stay, good central location on river, friendly staff, free wifi and computer, good breakfast and Illy coffee. Would definitely stay here again!

We spotted the hotel from the boat as we arrived from Vietnam, managed to shake off the hordes of tuk-tuk drivers at the landing and legged it there, to get the last available balcony room. Probably not the cheapest room in PP but you get an ever-entertaining view of the traffic along Sisowath Quay with a backdrop of the mighty... More

Great location on this hotel, we got a big family room with balcony with river view. Nothing really to complain about. The hotel is surrounded with great restaurants and nightlife. Will stay again when visiting PP.

We stayed there for 2 nights in late Feb. As others have said, it is pricey for Cambodia ($25 for 2 people), but the omelette with fresh baguette & coffee was good & helped to balance this out. Our room was roomy & nice, & everything worked as intended. Our bed was great. The location was great, being able to... More
