Lovely big rooms and shared terrace, friendly staff, the owners were really helpful and welcoming, very nice food at the guest house and the restaurant they run which is not too far away. The location is really handy for getting around, and the pool was a bit of a diversion from sightseeing.

Circa 51 offers very nice and relaxing environment in a central location in Phnom Penh. The rooms are well maintained and nicely decorated, particularly the new rooms upstairs that are really more like studios, including sofa, fridge and large TV. The pool is nice, but does get used by lots of expat families during the weekend. If you were hoping... More

I stayed here for 2 weeks when I started a job in Phnom Penh. I had a downstairs room by the pool. Swam every day. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly.Relaxed atmosphere with loungers by the pool and eating area. Good healthy breakfast. The early morning is the best part of the day. My room was large, comfortable and... More

We really enjoyed our stay at Circa 51, Yvette, her husband and staff were very attentive and the amentities and room facilities were great. Breakfast by the pool each mornig was relaxing, the pool was exceptional and a swim at the end of a busy day in a hectic city was a highlight. We intend a return visit to Phnom... More

Mid-century inspired Circa 51 in Phnom Penh is a charming hotel that's near chic boutiques and cafes on Street 240 and minutes away from the Riverfront area. The hotel is an oasis: open & airy, with an outdoor bar, plenty of lounge seating, and a gem of a pool that sits under the trees. Our room was cozy: clean, standard... More

My first impression of Circa 51: is this a hotel??? Circa 51 is situated among a residential area, away from the main road and heavy traffic. This is definitely the place to return to after a day of sightseeing. Location is good as it is within walking distance to restaurants and Street 240. The “Welcome Drink” is so refreshing after...

Loved this place, the owners Yvette and her husband are so obliging and helpful. They gave ideas when we were asking tough questions about buying artworks and transporting them home, and we were lucky enough that we could take them on our plane with us, however they were even so generous as to offer to help manage it if we...

The best aspect of this hotel is the pool area. It's a lovely place to sit and relax, but also for meeting new people. The environment makes if feel like everyone there is family, the manager and owner took the time to sit and chat with us on a number of occasions which was lovely. There is also a very... More

Nice B & B, feels private in the middle of the city sitting behind a big gate with a lovely pool for relaxing. Having stayed in several places in Phnom Penh, I now think B & Bs, especially in the street 240 area, are the way to go. You're away from the barrage of tuk tuk drivers along the river,... More

We were made very welcome by the owner, and spent a comfortable night. The hotel has been completely refurbished and they have done a very nice job with the interior rooms. Perhaps a few flowering shrubs would help the ambience of the outside........
