We had a twin room for $15 a night. The room was clean, with a/c, hot water, fridge and decent size tv. It was good value. The hotel is slightly outside of the main backpacker area around the riverside, but for me this was a good thing as it was cleaner, quiter and altogether more friendly. The riverside is a... More

Stayed for one night in a clean and spacious room. The hot shower has a really good water pressure. Still, the hotel is a bit off downtown Phnom Penh so you'll have to take a Tuk-Tuk ride of abut five minutes to dive into the nightlife and get back rome.

Ok the standard rooms are decent enough. We had a room where the hose and shower hose leaked. They fixed the spray hose but did not fix the shower hose. It makes using the facilities very unenjoyable in the middle of the night when the floor is wet not to say how unsafe it is on tile floors. The family... More

I had three enjoyable nights at Smileys. Great hotel with very friendly staff. They have a back-up power supply for when there are power cuts which power everything except the elevators. Everything worked very well - the wifi, the TV and the AC. The tuk tuk and motorbike taxis outside were all good.

Good enough guesthouse, but when I tried to check out at 3pm, a young man by the counter told me I had to pay an additional $10 for staying an extra 3 hours as 'check out time' was at 12 noon. Either their policy is rubbish, or their staff are trying to skim off the top by bogus-charging guests. I... More

The small room with a fan for $6 was perfect for me when the hostels are full, loud, or crawling with bugs. This place is clean amd the staff is helpful. They did my laundry for $2, sold me a bus ticket to Siem Riep for $5, and the breakfast is good. I just wish the fan on the wall... More

I stayed here in a double room for 2 nights. The room itself was very clean and nicely decorated and the toilet was clean too. There was a nice balcony which looked over the street. There was also a really big window, which was nice as the room was really bright as a result of this. The air conditioning was... More

I first got to Smiley's after a few rough nights on the Riverside. The first night I knew that I had found somewhere special. Smiley and his family will instantly make you feel at home. The food in his restaurant is always fresh, well seasoned and home cooked. My room was large, the bed incredibly comfortable, the bathroom clean, the... More
