Samaya Boutique & Cuisine

Tucked away on a quiet street yet close to everything, Samaya was a fantastic find and somewhere I shall certainly return to whenever I’m in Phnom Penh. The staff are excellent, the kitchen is first-class, and the pool is clean and spacious. There’s also a lovely little bar area, ideal for relaxing or catching up on some work on a laptop. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the whole experience represents excellent value for money. Highly recommended!

Location is bit off

Conveniently located. Polite staff.

- Dirty and Stained bedspreads. We had to flag this to the staff who changed it just before bed. - The bathroom wasn’t well equipped, and by that I mean not even a tumbler to store a tooth brush/tooth paste was present, no hand towels (only body towel) and no hand wash/ soap was provided next to the sink. - No vegan/ vegetarian options for breakfast. - The latch to lock the toilet was broken and no latch to lock it from outside, which meant that the person who’s side of the bed was next to the toilet had to sleep with an open door to the toilet. - The AC did not function fully and it would take 20 minutes for the room to cool down. - My biggest problem was the check out process. I went down at 7:00 to settle my bill and check out and no staff or receptionist seemed awake enough to attend to me. They did not have a card machine. Their QR code was broken and I couldn’t scan and pay. They did not even have change for a 100$ bill when I offered cash and they had to run around in the neighbourhood to find change while my cab was waiting. They asked me to do a bank transfer but the IBAN/ SWIFT CODE was in France and no address of the recipient was provided, so online bank transfer was also impossible. It was an extremely frustrating, time consuming experience.
