My partner and I have been backpacking around Asia for 8 months now and decided to treat ourselves to a nice hotel for our week in Phnom Penh. We stayed in the penthouse apartment and loved it. The room was clean, beautifully decorated and spacious. The rooftop needs renovating, but we were told this and not charged for what is... More

We stayed here for $18/pp/night - as the only room with 2 separate beds was the guesthouse and we were offered a 'cheap upgrade'. The lighting was terrible, especially in the bathroom/shower - very dark and scary at night. The balcony is "under renovation" and gross - so dirty. But the worst part was the bugs. Cockroaches EVERYWHERE because the... More

After 2 month of travelling the Philippines, I finally found a place I really liked. Kamala and Shaky made me feel right at home. I spend a fun night at the local, and was also referred to a great beach at shianoukville. Even the cab to take me there was arranged. My very heavy suitcase was carried up the stairs... More

This ex-pat bar is run by a super friendly Aussie lady and some lovely Cambodian staff. There are 4 rooms above. 1 is the penthouse and is quite large, there are also 2 small rooms without windows. We stayed in the balcony room which looked down onto the street and over the river. It was not flash, but reasonably clean... More

I was traveling on a self-imposed shoestring and had just left Siem Reap, where someone at my hostel stole USD$50 from my bag, sat next to a crack baby on the SR-PP bus, and arrived in PP with a fever and some "stomach issues" if you know what I mean. I go to the Local 2 by pedicab from the... More

Booked 3 nights, stayed 1. The wife and I have stayed in some really basic places all over Asia, and this is the first time we've had to leave a hotel early for our own sanity. When we were shown to our room, we had to step over a dead cockroach to get up the stairs. Then when we got... More

We enjoyed everything about this place but mostly the food was superb. We were able to walk to all the tourist sites nd parks and nicerestaurants by the river.The owner recommended great places for us to stay in Kampot and Otres beach which saved us a lot of hassle.

We stayed at The Local 2 twice. This quirky hotel is located in a great location just off the Riverside close to heaps of eating places and entertainment, all for a reasonable price. Clean comfortable rooms, including the bathroom that was western style. The wi-fi was free and the air conditioning worked extremely well. The staff were very friendly and... More
