This was our 2nd time staying in a transit through Phnom Penh. The hotel itself feels more like a business hotel and is clean & comfortable. We were upgraded and had a decent size room with good seating options like a small chaise lounge with coffee table, and desk + comfortable chair for remote working, ambient lighting & good Wi-Fi connection this time (didn’t stay on higher floors). We liked the bedside reading lamps & the AC worked well. The bed was very comfortable and linens were good quality. The staff were kind and helpful. The hot water shower had good pressure and worked well. The bathroom small but functional and clean. There was room clean on request, and daily water top up. We initially booked 2 nights and extended a 3rd due to transit changes, for the 3rd night we opted to try the breakfast which was better value than buying separately. The options were basic but did the job, catered to Chinese taste (congee , fried rice) but didn’t mind. It was worth it for the very good coffee, and the tropical fruit. There is a laundry room upstairs, and small gym. The roof terrace bar is also nice to sit and watch the skyline but it’s not regularly staffed. On our last night the hotel provided complimentary evening noodle soups which was delicious and a nice touch. Overall the hotel feels like a business hotel for Chinese men but the services and the quality of the room is good. It is also located near many amenities like ATMs and a small grocery store across the road selling things like mosquito repellents. Restaurants in the local area are mostly Chinese, and an Amazon cafe., reflecting more western prices.

Overall a good stay. Some things to note: Walking isn’t easy in the local area as it’s so busy with traffic and on main roads, without proper pedestrian pavements so whilst things are nearby it’s quite a mission to get from A to B. There are however many tuktuks or cabs available via grab or PassApp. The small fridge in the room is barely cold, without adjustable temperature, if you need to store things to keep cool.

Clean rooms and exceptional front desk and restaurant service. My fridge was on the blink and a new one showed up immediately, carried by a petite lady who refused my help.

There either is no coffee shop or they for some reason don't serve coffee from their restaurant "bar" area. The "gym" or "fitness center" was bleak and the "Sky Bar" doesn't exist. The last one was actually something I really cherish in a city hotel.

The hotel is exceptionally well run and super clean. The rooms seem to have been renovated recently as they feel brand new. Also very modern with electric curtains, different mood light settings. The hotel also offers a complimentary laundry facility which really helps when travelling in the SE Asia heat. The gym is simple yet enough equipment for a full body workout or cardio. The location is also very central and easy to move around the city. Central Market is a 5 min walk and all the cultural landmarks are a short tuk-tuk ride away.

Breakfast could include a little more as I was hungry as only one serving is allowed.

My husband and I just finished a 3-night stay at Aurea Central Hotel in Phnom Penh. It was a wonderful stay, and I would highly recommend it. The location was excellent: next to the Central Market and a few blocks away form the business district/French Quarter. The hotel seems like it is brand new, and I assume it is newly renovated because the gym was still under construction. The breakfast, which was included, was delicious. The menu included a few options of Asian-inspired fare. We tried several of the options and each were wonderful. It was easy to access the hotel and there were always plenty of tuk-tuks outside ready to take us anywhere in town. The beds were extremely comfortable, and the rooms had nice touches likes slippers and robes. They also greeted us with a "a happy anniversary" message on our bed as they knew were were in Phnom Penh to celebrate. The value for the quality of the hotel was exceptional, and we would return again

I loved the entire experience. A couple of improvements would include more reliable wifi and we had an electric kettle in our room but there was no tea or coffee provided (a very little suggestion)

Good location within walking distance of the main attractions in the city of Phnom Penh. On one of the main roads in the centre of Phnom Penh but no noise pollution at all despite the traffic outside which was important as I was in one of the front rooms directly facing the main road. Good service from the staff, a very well run small hotel.

The only issue I would mention is that the breakfast is small, however this is common throughout SE Asia and food / drink options are readily available within 2 mins walk so this is not really a problem.

The Supreme Deluxe room by itself is awesome with the Iights and automatic curtains, ideal for love pairs.

The Wifi in the Supreme Deluxe room (6th floor) is virtually INEXISTENT, which is sad, as it is the most expensive room in the hotel. The cheaper rooms downstairs have better ones. The traffic at night is audiable if you are sensitive Person

Rooms were exceptional for the price: clean, spacious and comfy. Overall hotel is very well maintained and highly recommend for a short trip

Breakfast was the same every day. Gym could be renovated.

The room was beautiful comfy bed, aircon was quiet. I thought it was better than the picture on Booking.com. It was near the railway station which suited our travels. We had to leave early so the hotel provided a take away breakfast which was really good of them.

The fridge was hardly cold I tried to ask about it but was told it’s on. We had a kettle but no tea or coffee to make a drink. The room service menu is limited nothing vegan for us.

The hotel room was big, modern and spacious. The facilities at the hotel were also good, there is a washing machine room upstairs next to the gym which can be used free of charge to wash your clothes which was nice.

sometimes our room smelt of cigarettes

Location, room, beds, staff.

No cleaning unless you find and press a small button on the wall before going out. Wi-fi was also very intermittent the first evening but to be fair the staff were very kind and offered for us to change room immediately for better connection.
