Emerald Hotel Residence

Our stay at The Emerald Hotel was truly memorable. We were in room 907 on one of the top floors, and the view over the city was absolutely stunning. The room was spotless, and every staff member we encountered was welcoming and kind. We want to give a special thanks to Sokmeng, who went far beyond any expectations. When we asked her about Khmer specialties, she didn’t just give recommendations—she offered to take us around the city on her day off to experience the local culture firsthand. Her warmth and generosity were remarkable, making our stay feel genuinely special. Thank you, Emerald Hotel, for such an incredible experience, and especially to Sokmeng for showing us the heart of this city. We’ll always remember this stay with fondness and appreciation.

The dorm was very clean and comfortable. The shower had hot water, there was air conditioning and you have locker space (although you can't fit a backpack, only valuables and clothes). The staff were friendly and helpful. There's a large common room area. The location is great for food, S21 is very close, there are lots of atms and shops nearby. It's very easy to get grab tuk tuks from here.

- I liked the staff. They are modern friendly city people who do care about their job. I felt I could trust them. - Everything was new in the dorm. - I was happy that the dorm had NO bed bugs which are common in Phnom Penh hostels. - Cleanliness - The area around the hotel is lively, a lot of street food (although almost everything in Phnom Penh is twice as expensive as in Bangkok). Loved boiled corn (2000 riel) in front of the hotel and donuts 500 riels each nearby on the left, 5000-riel cappuccino at nearby Coffee House shop was amazing.

Clean rooms and nice staff especially Sokmeng who was very helpful.

New hotel with modern rooms. Great view. Friendly staff. 500 m from Tuol Sleng. No breakfast but many choices of food for locals in the street, and for the less adventurous like us, the restaurant Kengkong is 200m from the hotel and serves delicious american breakfasts.
