The style is more
Cambodian than boutique, but rooms are big and clean (if a bit dark) and the grounds are
nice and leafy. Upgrade to a balcony-equipped room around the pool.

One of the most romantic boutique hotels in Cambodia, this attractive hostelry occupies a
French-era villa renovated in vintage 1930s style. It has particularly ugly and tall neigh-
bours, but the ambience and riverside location offset that.
