Excellent location and reasonable budget hotel

This is a budget option and my judgement is based on that level. Area is excellent. The staff are young and friendly. The rooms are basic but functional. the security is good but again basic. There are coffee shops, convenience stores, restaurants, ATMs and Tuk Tuks all at the front door. The National Museum and Palace are within 200 meters walk. The River front is a similar distance including the FCC (Foreign Correspondents Club) for a sunset drink. - If you want 5 star then go elsewhere. - I'm coming back here again and again

Crap property, Reception outside the building in a kiosk, Open access for anyone to get to the rooms. Door locks loose so could be opened in absence. Toilet flush tank lid open and said could not do anything about it. And lots of mosquitoes. Will never go there again or recommend. Surprised about the ratings, as that’s why I rented it.

Good low cost hotel in a prime location

This is a budget option that delivers all the needs of basic travellers. The hotel is a 5 minute walk from the National Museum and a 10 minute walk from the Royal Palace Gate. There is a 24 hour cafe downstairs and dozens of restaurants within 5 minutes walk. The riverside promenade is only 5 minutes walk away also. Rooms need renovating but are good for the location and price. The hot water, air-conditioning, WiFi and TV all work fine but it is a basic standard hotel. Don't come expecting 5 Star. The staff are helpful and the reception speak a good standard of english. The laundry service was good and inexpensive.

The location is handy for dining options

The stairs were very narrow and steep, but they did carry my bag up to the second floor. The front \"desk\" (box) was not always manned, so I learnt to just carry my key with me, although most places advise against doing so.
The front desk could not help when I needed to check with a tour provider about pick-up time.

Good budget hotel & staff, poor management.

RSII is a great budget guest house, just poorly managed. They do not deliver all they promise on the website and the staff have not figured out how to deal with the discrepancies. Lacking resources (specifically- safe in the room, robes, etc.) and in my case a room with a view, calm insistence got me the room that was booked on the second day and a friend at the desk. Ignoring reality not matching the advertising, RSII is a good budget hotel, great location and good view. The two door locks I dealt with should be replaced.

Suggest resisting the urge to take out frustrations on the staff. They are not likely doing the advertising. Management is rather poor perhaps they will read this and improve.

We stayed for few nights there with my friend and it was a nightmare, so we just checked out after 2 days - no money were refunded for further booked days. I have no idea why some people think that this place is clean - we saw few rooms - all in same bad condition, we went to nearest hostels and hotels and it was cheaper and cleaner in most of them. My advice don't stay here. PS: no balcony - it's a public balcony where people walks and sees everything happens in your room.

Unusually bad Lodging Experience

There are some charming aesthetic features along with a good view fro certain spots. I a traveling around the world and very used to modest facilities. rarely is a place so bad that I feel compelled to move. I had a tiny room. Tiny. Constant noise from construction, which may subside by the time you visit. The bathroom was a joke. The toiletries sat over the toilet as there was no room over the sink. If it falls, well... Things didn't work. Now some of this was the somewhat behind the curve aesthetics of the budding Cambodian tourism business. But the amenities and experience are really not suitable based on even minimal expectations. The bed was very bad. I have no problem with stairs. but these are steep concrete stairs. Please don't think of taking a wrong step. And did the fellow who took me to my room offer to carry my backpack. Nope. Stay away. Lots of much better choices.

Disappointing misuse of a building

Pnomh Penh is hard work and this is probably the worst area to stay, although the most interesting. The tuk tuk guys could be sorted out. There was a rubbish collection strike during my stay but no attempt was made by local businesses to ease the situation and the whole city stank to high nirvana. The breakfast was rubbish. I can't think of anything positive to say about the whole experience. The level of English in PP is generally terrible, and this place wasn't any worse than the others. There are any number of better options for the $30 I paid.

Fair value for money

Hotel is ideally situated very close to the River side,and represents fair value for money.Access to the rooms is by weird \"external\" staircases which are fairly steep and might create severe problems for elderly clients. All staff are anxious to please, and cannot be faulted.The room l booked was described as 20 sq.metres in size - however the room which contained a large bed, as requested, took up the majority of the room, there was no storage space, only a small hanging rail with 4 distorted hangers'Wi-Fi reception in all areas of the building was excellent. The bathroom/wet room was far too large for the size of the bedroom,and could have been better planned to give more room in the bedroom.

Great Location and Helpful Staff

I booked this hotel for one night and I ended up staying four night. The room I was given in the first three night was a bit of a walk up to the third floor but it was very nice, clean and well stocked. Sheets and towels were very clean and the front desk never hesitated to take a hike to my room every time I needed something. However, after the 3rd night I checked out by mistake thinking that it's the day when I fly out. When I realised that I was actually supposed to stay one more night in Phnom Penh, I came back to the hotel and they gave me another room with no windows, because everything was already booked. That is kinda my fault. But overall, I was very satisfied with the location and staff. The hotel is literally across the street from the National Museum and steps away from Riverside and Royal Palace. I would return to this hotel any day. I highly recommend it.

still not sure if we got scammed.

We had 2 nights booked for months but when we arrived we were told that there was a problem with the 'government water' in our room so it was not available, despite the fact that approaching the hotel there were tuk-tuk drivers trying to get us to go in and book. They booked us a room at their other hotel which was about 30 minutes walk away and in a much less nice and inconvenient area. We were also told that we could definitely come back and check in tomorrow if we wanted, despite the fact that they did not know when the water would be fixed. I'm guessing that they either over booked the rooms, they let someone extend their stay at our expense, or were trying to keep rooms in the nice hotel open for walk-ins. Maybe it was legit, but I doubt it.

I gave them my passport to get a visa for Vietnam and they got it back to me the next day! Way better than going to the embassy myself.

When we arrived they tried to say our room was not available and gave us a small windowless rabbit hutch. We compained that it was not the room we had booked and paid for.

You have to run the gauntlet of Tuk Tuk drivers everytime you move anywhere.
