We stayed at the Waterview Guesthouse. We opted for a double private without a window to save a few £'s. The guest house was in a good location as the name suggests it is right on the Mekong River and close to the Palace, market and lots of bars and restaurants. On check in we were shown to a large...

Staff was extremely rude and unaccommodating. The rooms are on a very busy, loud, and smelly main road. They were eager to take your money for tours and such, but the value and what was promised was another story. I would not recommend this place for singles or families. Couples only if you really want to rough it.

stayed here 3N in the smallest windowless room available. Online we were charged $18/night but when we heard another person enquire about rooms we were told it was $15/night, so it seems that the online prices are inflated. The windowless room made it so that we didn't hear any outside noise but we were on the top floor below the... More

I was looking forward to staying here after reading such great reviews from others. We booked the $18 a night room yesterday on booking.com, where it actually showed that there was one room left. We entered our credit card info, and received a confirmation. So, needless to say, after a very long bus ride to p.p. we were very upset... More

Location of the guesthouse was very good, facing the river. The room was clean, there was hot water, air conditioning, cable tv and wifi. The owner (a lady) was very accommodating, even assisted me in getting me a bus ticket to siem reap. Best part was, the pickup point for the bus was only 2 stops away. Overall my experience... More

On paper the Waterview Guesthouse seems the perfect choice to make for you temporary residence in Phnom Penh. However, err on the side of caution. The room my girlfriend and I rented was mouldy and plagued by small flies and other six legged insects. During our 4 months travelling, insects have become an acceptable part of the travel experience but... More

Stayed here for three nights. Had one of the smaller room without windows, but this did not help regarding noise from the streets and nightlubs in the area. Heard loud music from downstairs until late at night, so get some earplugs. Room was clean, but with mold coming through the paint in places, and there were cracks and gaps in... More

Our room here was nice and roomy with a good air con. We had a gorgeous balcony and a "river view" but only if you lean awkwardly to the left. Like most places in South East Asia, the shower is very close to the loo but this place had pink toilet paper! If you are getting off the Mekong River... More

The location of this guesthouse can't be any better, right in front of the river and near to bars, restaurants and shops. The staff is very friendly and the rooms are comfortable. The only problem is the poor WIFI in the rooms and the lack of breakfast but otherwise a great guesthouse. They also offer visa and ticket services which... More

It's hard to find a budget room with a window in this town but this place makes up for it with friendly family service. They will help with all kinds of info, book tours and busses like our hotel pick up to Kampot tomoz. Laundry service, wifi, waterfront, next to night markets, cafes, bars...I dare ya to find a fault.
