Smiley's Hotel

The location in the Central city.
You can see the view of the town from the balcony and and good views surround. The staff was really helpful and friendly.  The owner are really welcome with smile and knowledgeable.
I highly recommend.


I'd been in Cambodia for a few weeks and on arriving in Phnom Penh I discovered that the backpacker 'area' of Boeng Kak had been demolished! The area was a hole anyway... I was dehydrated and needed to rest for a few days. 

After checking my guide book I made my way to another place which was full - Smiley was nearby + I ended up staying for a few nights. 

A decent budget hotel, a single room which by Cambodian standards was great for the price ($8 per night). Decent bed, clean, cable tv + a great bathroom with power shower. The area is quiet but central, a few decent restaurants nearby too.

Staff are friendly - English is a little sketchy, I didn't use a tuk tuk driver right outside the hotel but they seemed fine, obviously agree on a price in advance!! 

Ok, this might not be featured in LP, Rough Guides etc but you could do MUCH worse than Smiley. Best place I stayed in Cambodia.

I stumbled into this place just by accident, and what a lucky find! I arrived in Phnom Penh via bus from Vietnam, and as I had no hotel reservations, I wandered around the neighborhood where I was dropped off. Smileys was only two blocks away. I got a room with aircon, hot shower, balcony, and comfy bed for $20, but there are cheaper rooms as well. Everything you need is nearby - restaurants, laundry, mini-mart, and friendly, reasonably priced tuk-tuk drivers out front. 

Staff is not the friendliest, but competent. Never had breakfast here as I could see a couple guest houses out the window that looked more inviting. Only negative is if you want to nap between 3pm and 6pm, the mini-mart across the street blasts some kind of radio show cum karaoke during those hours - steer clear of your room then.

Great Place To Stay... 

Nice place close to bus station

Nice place and really comfort friendly staffs 

I arrived late at night with no booking so was grateful for the first room I found but the balcony door wouldn't shut, the light in the bathroom wouldn't switch off, the noise from the street was unbearable so after mosquito bites and a sleepless night I asked for another room in the morning and, in fact, picked it myself. What an improvement! With a bit of prompting the staff were helpful and ended up helping me out in a dispute with a driver. I don't like being in the middle of things so the location was good but it's an easy walk to Mama's for breakfast and certainly walkable even to the river if need be.

Choose your room

This hotel is a great bargain. For about $15 dollars per night you can have a decent bed, with AC, and a shower. It is really basic but you get great staff and Tuk Tuk drivers. This hotel is a common spot for foreign volunteers in the area so they are used to all kinds of questions. 

Don't expect something amazing. This a a solid place to crash after a full day of touring the city. 

Tip: ask for a balcony! Great views of the city.

Great for a bargain

Staffs and the owner were so rude and disrespectful to customers. They provide the disgusting foot rug for customers to use in the room. First night arrived, long hair in the room,ant crawling on the bed, second night, didn't change my bed sheet, the housekeeper yelled at customers including the owner was extremely lack of knowledge and communication with customers. Overall, I wouldn't waste my money and time to be with this place and wouldn't recommended to other people to stay in that place.
