Just spent 3 nights at the California 2 and I can't wait to go back. When I arrived, I was greeted by Jim, the owner, and his lovely bar staff. I was shown to an immaculately clean room, where I took a hot, high pressured shower. I ordered food from the bar downstairs and skeptically awaited--I rarely eat in hotels... More

This hotel is easy, practical, even fun. Staff are super friendly and know what a traveler needs. The owner, Jim, has been around Cambodia many years and is a treasure trove of information on the country. Can't beat the price for the location. Rooms are well designed, clean.

I've stayed here once about six months ago and every trip to Phnom Penh since I have stopped by for dinner at least once or twice per visit. Yeah, the food (American pub style) is that good. Try the Mexican on offer and don't bother with the place down the street. You won't be disappointed. Jim, the owner can probably... More

Had a great time staying at California 2. I will stay there again next time for sure. The food in the restaurant was delicious and the service impeccable. I disagree with other reviews that say it isn't couple friendly. When I was staying there couples and even single girls were staying there. I would be happy to take a girlfriend... More

Great location on the riverside. Very close to the night market and riverside resturants. The rooms are clean and the staff very friendly. I always enjoy my stay at Cal 2 every year when i come to Phnom Penh.

We are staying here now, and as many readers already mentioned, it is clean, fun to stay and Jim (the owner), is indeed giving good tips on the area. Go to his website( a real must) and he gives many more tips on the city and country. Would like to mention (as Jim does), to use dollars, as wherever you... More
