I only stayed one night on arrival in Phnom Penh. The check in was great, I was able to check in early which was very handy. Staff were great, very friendly and happy to help. I woke the next day fully refreshed from my 20 hour journey the day before due to a comfortable bed, great aircon and a quiet room. Breakfast was good with a chef on hand to cook a fresh soup. Overall a great experience.

A very pleasant hotel equipped with classic Khmer equipment, which has its own inspiration. The staff is very friendly and always wants to help you if you need anything. Breakfast is good and varied, and very good coffee. The swimming pool, gym and sauna are always inviting. The hotel bar on the 13th floor is also magical, and the bartender also prepares wonderful cocktails for you. I will very much like to return to this hotel every time I am in Phnom Penh. J.M.

The room was generously sized with good amenity. The pool area was lovely, though the water was a bit fresh if you wanted to sit and linger.
I had included buffet breakfast, which was nice and fresh.
I also requested airport pick up which cost an additional USD15.

Not recommended

Hotel is a complete bust. (1) Monday - Saturday there is 24 hours worth of construction right next door. (2) Internet sucks, at least in the room that I was in. (3) No hot water in the showers. I was in two different rooms, and no hot water in either. Sinks have scalding hot water though. (4) Room key did not work no less than 6-9 times in the days I was there. (5) Breakfast was mediocre, at best.

Good hotel, construction next door

We had an overnight stay here. Hotel itself was nice, in a good location with spacious and clean rooms. Unfortunately there is currently a construction site next to the hotel which during our stay was very loud. The hotel had left a note of apology in the room stating that the work stops between 7pm and 7am so not the best if you like to sleep in or relax in the afternoon. Not sure when it's due to finish but when we were there they were still working to demolish the previously existing building on the lot.

A hotel with typical Khmer layout and furnishings. It is located in a mostly residential area with many eating places nearby. May not be suitable for less than able guests as you need to climb a flight of stairs to enter the hotel. Unfortunately, nearby construction sites mean sleeping late is not an option.

The Katari is in a perfect spot to explore Phnom Penh - centrally located it means all the main things to see are either a walk or a short reumork (tuk tuk) journey away.

i would not stay at this hotel again

Pros: Nice pool and roof top.
Cons: I emailed the hotel asking specific questions and twice they sent back a form email. The hotel is old and dated and had lots of weird creeky sounds. All night it sound like a mouse was in the room- although I know there wasn't one. The biggest beef I have is how dare the hotel tell me (and not until after I arrived) that I cannot have guests in my room THAT I PAID FOR! Based on this policy alone I can't recommend this hotel. They should be stated clearly before you book. If it was, i would pick another hotel. When you are trying to sleep in the morning all you hear is the walkie talkie of the cleaning crew. The water they supplied to me in the room was already opened! There wifi system makes no sense and every time you leave you need a new passcode. So basically I couldn't use it. The staff LIED to me about the price and time of the bus ticket to get me to Kampot.

We were happy with our stay, the room, facilities, and staff were just excellent. The area is a little sketchy and you need to be mindful of your belongings at all times (particularly of the night time if you’re to go out).
The thing that really let our stay down was the buffet breakfast. Big waste of time, I wouldn’t eat much from there (maybe only the fruit each morning), and even that had fruit flies everywhere around it. There was banquets of dishes, most of which were all cold. Who knows how long they’d been that cold for. There was a chicken dish which we’re almost sure made my partner ill.
Also, once stocked at 6am, that’s pretty much how it’s left until the breakfast finishes at 10am, it’s not replenished at all.

The hotel was very nice and located a bit away from the center of things, which was pleasant.
The room was excellent, clean, and with everything you need, even included a bath, which was a surprise. The staff were friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed my stay.
The only issue I had was with the door and key. It didn't work so well and didn't close appropriately so I had to keep closing it tightly or an alarm that sounded like a fire alarm would go off. I am sure the neighbors were swearing at me next door. Other than this minor issue, the hotel was a place I would recommend without issue. I was too lazy to ask the staff to fic the door, so it is partially my fault..
