Skyline Boutique Hotel

Had a very nice stay in this pleasant hotel. Very clean and tidy, excellent staff and good food. Two pools available to use. Lower pool shaded from the sun so not ideal for sunbathing. Overall nice hotel.

Skyline Boutique Hotel is a name to remember when visiting PHNOM PENH and willing to enjoy a lovely stay for a short time at his hotel or for a longer period of time at it's adjacent condo. Fitted in a former private patrician Villa, rooms are for "boutique standards" pretty large with serious soundproof walls and a lot of little details and thoughts have been given and placed in each room by the owners for the well being of it's visitors. Apart from the classic mini bar (2 bottles of regular water/day included) each customer will enjoy a large flat screen TV, a catle with free coffee, tea, milk choices, a multi-socket extension cord, a WiFi network (up to 5Mbits/s), each room being equipped with its own router and in case of no/low speed an internal english speaking technician, graduated by Cisco (switches&routers) will come at your request to fix and update the network. A excellent medium soft matrass, a large wardrobe, 2 bathrobes + slippers, a boudoir table with mirror, double glass windows and very effective daylight blinds cover each window. What was the absolute highlight of the house was it's restaurant and roomservice menus. I can't stop thinking about how pleased I was going through their choices of delicassies and masterly prepared plates. I specially recommend the Mekong river fish steamed with a delicate sauce. Each plate I tried was worth a Michelin guide restaurant. Add to this the low rates of each plate and you get little reasons to ever leave the villa again... Also worth mentioning is their breakfast served with fresh, crusty mini baguettes! Yes Phnom Phen has definitely kept it's french flair inherited from the French presence. A way of life you won't find anywhere else in other South East Asian countries. I cant finish my review without mentioning the hotel private pool set up in it's fresh and shady garden. Fitted with a baby pool and a real swimming pool, aswell as long chairs all along. 2 appartements have their view and entrance giving into the garden. The hotel also runs a second pool and a steam room which are situated at the last floor of the adjacent Skyline Condo and can be accessed directly from the Garden. ------------- One negative remark I like to mention is the lack of professional behavior and respect towards customers that comes out as soon as they are confronted with a situation or issue they havent learned to manage. The general tendency of nearly every place visited in Cambodia has been in case of an issue to first blame the guest.. ..which is a clear indication of a lack of formation and a failure to admit personel responsabilities. I wish management would offer staff formation and a better chance of becoming professionals
