Most lazy 😞👎 workers I experienced especially in Cambodia. I stayed two nights and it was a different experience. My room was not clean or bed made when I got back from eating out and shopping. No new towels and I had to ask for the bottle water that was free. I ask if there is hot water because I wanted to drink some coffee in the morning. The ladies responded there should be an electric water kettle in your room. I said "Oh I didn't see one, I will look again." Well that's when I said I will stay another night paid and went to shop, drink coffee and eat. Well this is where I am so upset that I will never come here again. I asked the man who works nights, ol lazy useless just here for the pay kinda guy. He is covering for my man who got into an accident. Said sir where can we get some hot water. He said same thing the ladies said. So I responded there isn't one. U know what he said.

You should have asked the ladies because it's not my responsibility. At first I wasn't upset until I was getting really hungry. Then I realized every room has a coffee pot. And he has the keys cause he is the night guy. So he could easily have gotten it for me.

That's the guy. Does nothing but sits in his chair. Just yelled at a customer or one of the workers for misplacing a ke

Nice clean hotel. My room was cleaned well. The hotel is located in the center of the old city. In the morning I saw how the janitors and residents of this street cleaned up the trash every day. The area where the hotel is located is unique, there are a lot of massage parlors. Wi-Fi works well. It takes 5-7 minutes to walk to the central market, 12 minutes to a large grocery store. The store is called Samudera. This store has all the necessary products. It takes 15-20 minutes to get to Ortes Beach by tuk-tuk, 13,000 Cambodian currency. It takes 8-10 minutes to get to Independent Beach, the cost is 8,000 Cambodian currency. These beaches are public and I liked them. It takes 5-7 minutes to get to the bus station, from where buses go to Phnom Penh, the cost is 5,000-6,000 Cambodian currency. It works on the Grab phone. Very friendly women at the reception.

Stayed for over a week span. Look, the guesthouse is on a prostitution street. Its noisy throughout the night. The neighbors are also loud and arrogant type, as well as the police being the neighbors of the guesthouse. Due to that I did not bring any guests back because I was constantly being looked at everytime I entered in. Half of the staff is great, though beware ms. Smiley... who can't stop laughing and smiling and is unable to communicate even on translate and be down to earth with you. People smoke and ignore the no smoking signs. It's a nice place but truely... IN THE WORST LOCATION. It's good for a one night two night stop over sure. Though the hotel school is a bit better all around. I think they should find a place to relocate at. It's just a horrible spot to bring tourists in and out. Lots of peddlers with megaphones constantly looping that wont shut up. I'm not a complaining type but would like to leave some honest experience here for those that it could apply to. Peace

Overall, a normal hotel. We stayed for one night to "get by" after the road. But we were very tired. The toilet door did not close (not very convenient for a couple). You could hear as if you were outside. And there was a lot of smoke (in the hotel corridors). But it's good that there is parking, a security guard, hot water!

Very poor hotel. Bed still covered in plastic and loud and busy with bar girls and their clients from 12-3am. Explains the plastic sheets….gross, avoid at all costs
