Pleasant and friendly hotel.

We were very pleased with the services and the food. Bar in room was free and the manager Mr Sakana, personally came to ask us if our stay was satisfactory.
Other than the busy traffic at the intersection there is the convenience of a short walk to a mall - about 5 mins.

Close to sites

My only complaint is, I requested for a shuttle service from airport to hotel several months before this trip. There had been multiple emails back and forth days before the actual trip, my itinerary was sent so they could pick me up at the right time, date and location.
Arrived tired, sweaty, it's hot, humid, at night, a lone woman in a strange country and not knowing the language. Waited 45 minutes for the shuttle, NO ONE EVER SHOWED UP! I figure I'd take my chances and catch a cab to the hotel. I made it but that was a waste of time and energy spent emailing back and forth! Not going back

Room facing the main road with noisy traffic movements which disrupt my rest.
Good spread of breakfast.
Good location.
The team of staff is amazing, greeting guest with a welcome smile and friendly.
Housekeeping team done a good job too.
Overall stay is good except the heavy traffic noise level.

this is a very nice hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast selection is good. Aeon mall is a short walk away. My only negative comment is that the listing advertises a pillow top mattress but this is not pillow top, at least not what we would consider pillow top in America. I wish the bed was softer but I don't regret my stay.

Clean, basic hotel

Hotel was as we expected it - basic and clean. The staff were really nice and helpful. It's a 15minute tuk tuk ride from the boat dock (where we got the boat from Chau Doc, Vietnam) and the centre with all the restaurants. The bar and restaurant under the hotel is really nice as well and always busy. Some tuk tuk drivers didn't know the location of this hotel so you would have to mention that it's near the Russian Embassy.

The hotel is great or the price, but beware there is nothing surrounding it, just yet. Soon a very large mall will launch across the street, and I'm sure the value of this hotel will rise.They do NOT take Amex, which may be an issue to biz travelers who need to expense on corporate card.

Great service, mediocre location

The best thing about this hotel was the service. The staff fell all over themselves making us welcome and comfortable. Free welcome drinks, staff knew who we were, ran inside the elevator to push the buttons for us when we had heavy bags. Breakfast was really good and there was a mini-cake shop in the lobby with great cake. On the flip side, the hotel was a little past its prime...needs paint. The location was mediocre. Kind of far from the \"tourist\" part of town. Nothing too exciting to eat or drink within walking distance. If you are there for business, it was great. If you're there for tourism, you may want to stay closer to the center.

Nothing special...

The room had no window and as there was building works going on all day long impossible to rest in the room during the day. I felt like I was allocated the worst room in the whole hotel which is not a nice feeling when you are travelling as a solo female. The food was very expensive.

Satisfactory in every way

My stay at the Almond was for 19 nights and was satisfactory in every way. This hotel is a very good value for the money. The room was extremely clean and very comfortable. Restaurant food was good. Frankly, I thought the staff was exceptional. They were friendly and unfailing helpful. It was very easy to get around the city from this location. I owe the manager Mr. Hem a particular mention and thanks because he honored a specific request for me which made my departure from Phnom Penh much easier and which he easily could have not done. So, thank you, Mr. Hem, and staff for a pleasant and rewarding stay.

misleading ad, no hot water, rude hotel staff

I stayed at this place on Jan 31 to Feb 1, 2012 which was the last day of my stay in Cambodia after 18 days in different cities in Cambodia and Laos. From the hotel ad it was stated that it has a swimming pool . So when I check in, I was looking forward for a nice swim and was very disappointed that the hotel does not have any swimming pool. So I thought a hot bath would soothe my weary body from a long hectic week but to my dismay, there's no hot water. When I called in the front desk and complained about the lack of hot water, they were rude and did not fix my problem. The hotel is not very convenient and expensive for the available amenities or lack thereof. Although the breakfast is good which was included, however, evaluating the overall stay, I will not recommend this place to my friends.

Good location but a bit expensive

Nice hotel, very clean, excellent breakfast, good location. Overall a good experience but I found it to be a bit expensive for Cambodia, and therefore not the best value. There are similar hotels at somewhat better rates. I also was stuck with a 3rd floor room in the back (no elevator), for which I was charged the same rate. Water pressure was also very low up there, making showers slow and frustrating.

The Almond Hotel in Phnom Penh

The Almond Hotel proved to be a pleasant surprise. Having stayed at several 3 and 4- star hotels in Cambodia this past month, I believe the Almond is under-rated at 3*.
The condition, amenities, service, and food are all excellent and I highly recommend this hotel.

Almond Review

This hotel is a nice and business friendly hotel. They have a very good and fast internet connection. The staff is courteous and professional. My room did not have any window, so expect that if booking a less expensive room with them. This hotel seems to be a business minded hotel catering to Asian clientele, so I would not recommend it for backpackers, or if looking for a menu with western cuisine.

Pleasantly surprised!

I was not expecting this hotel when my tuk tuk pulled up outside the hotel. The prices I had been quoted on hotel.com seemed a deal compared with other hotels so I was not expecting such a wonderful hotel. It seems to have a lot of business customers, but the staff were very attentive in general and to my requests as a 'tourist'. The staff at the reception speak english well, however some of the others not so well, but if they did not understand, they went and got someone who did. The hotel is on the same boulevard (10-15) mins from the national museum, friendship monument and the royal palace and silver pagoda. The waterfront is also in this general location. My room was wonderful and clean, bathroom and in particular the bath tub. Breakfast was great, there were also good options if you opted to have dinner at the hotel, however there are excellent options on sisowath quay a 15 to 20 min walk away or a short 5 mins 1-2USD tuk tuk ride away. I did not try to make tour bookings with the hotel but instead got a tuk tuk outside for trips. I would definately recommend this hotel to singles, couples, business guests, unable to say for families.

We totally loved the hotel! The room was spotless! The service terrific- it is the first time in many years my husband has been bowed to as he left the hotel! Good help from the desk arranging tours. The breakfast bar was varied and allowed for the option of omelets with a wide variety of ingredients. Fresh croissants daily and fabulous fruits . The internet was a bit cranky and slow. But all else could not have been better!

Comfortable, friendly hotel

We were there in late February. The Almond Hotel is mainly business focused but is as good for leisure travellers. It is a short tuk-tuk ride from the main holiday sights and sites ($2 max, although the drivers always seem to start at $3!). The room was a good size, spotlessly clean and well serviced each day. Breakfast most days was a buffet with a mix of oriental and western foods. We did not eat in the restaurant as it seemed pricey and there are many good places to go within a five minute tuk-tuk ride or ten minute walk (quite do-able in the evening when the temperature drops below 30C).
