Not 5-star service. Maybe 3 stars.

Architecturally, a pretty hotel with plenty of room. Two complaints: What gives a 5-star hotel five stars, is the service. The young staff, although polite and respectful, were not well trained, (if they were received any training at all). The hotel has only 18 rooms and one restaurant, which was good, but limited in menu. Secondly, the hotel is 30 minutes from the city, and the hotel works with a transportation company that is 30+ minutes away. So, plan in advance. This would be a nice hotel for a wedding party, but not for a tourist or business visit to Phnom Penh.

Our stay at the Bale Phnom Penh was nothing short of amazing, not only were all the amenities 5 stars, but the staff were professional, and the resort manager Mika was always attentive to our needs.

Under the Radar Gem

From the moment we areived, we were treated like we were the only guests stsying at the property. The room was incredibly stylish and relaxing, but their greatest asset was their team - every last employee was beyond standard friendly, and their genuineness shined through - we’d stay there again hands down in a hearbeat, despite it being a bit off the beaten track relative to the center of town.
