Fairfield by Marriott Phnom Penh
4.7/5121 Reviews
Khan Tuol Kouk
The staff at the Fairfield Marriott in Phnom Penh are the stars of this hotel! They are sooo... friendly and helpful. They were very welcoming and always smiling and genuinely happy to see us. The location is a downside. It is a bit a ways from restaurants and various city attractions. The entrance to the hotel is a bit awkward since it is located on the side of the building instead of facing the street. This made it confusing for the tuk tuk and taxi drivers to know where to pick up or drop us off. The other downside or awkward thing that stands out is the lack of privacy between the bathroom and sleep area. There is a sliding door that you can close and open that separates the bed area from the bathroom. The sink is in the middle of the room and the toilet is off to the side with shower across from it. Its kind of like an open concept room configuration. It was a weird room configuration especially when it came time to usr the toilet. Perfectly fine for a solo traveler but a bit awkward for everyone else considering the lack of privacy. It would have been to have the ability to close off the bathroom to allow a little more privacy. Overall, although there were some quirks with this hotel, we are still glad we stayed there. It was the wonderful staff who were friendly and professional that made our stay so pleasabt and so memorable. We would stay here again because of the great staff.
