One of the most friendly, efficient and beautifully appointed hotels/guesthouses I've ever stayed in. From the delicious and refreshing welcome drink on arrival, to the friendliness and willingness of staff and owners to recommend or find exactly what we needed, there was nothing I wanted for in the idyllic week I spent at Circa 51.

The pool is great and maybe the best value. The room was very spacious and nicely decorated. WiFi was reliable. Be aware the hotel has no sign on the outside and it might be difficult to find. I am a very frequent traveler to Phnom Penh and this was my first stay at Circa 51. I am likely to return... More

Travelled with two others on our first ever trip to Cambodia. Upon reaching the hotel via airport transfer (they provide this service for a small fee), we were greeted warmly by Soriya, who made us feel very welcome and provided us with travel tips. We stayed in the deluxe suite room, which turned out to be much larger than expected,... More

If this place was categorized as a guesthouse, I would rate it high. But since it appears under "hotel" or "boutique residence" category, I can't give it a high rate. On the pro's: -the owners are friendly -the pool is a nice plus -centrally located close to the palace etc -family friendly On the con's: -we didn't feel it's clean... More

Dear guest thank you for your feedback. Indeed, we are not a hotel and do not market ourselves as such. Our property is a former large modernist-style Cambodian residence and all of our rooms have different configurations and styles. Our least expensive rooms can be a little dark as the windows look out to an outdoor shaded walkway; on the... More

This is a great family run hotel in a central location in Phnom Penh. The rooms are clean, spacious and cool, the security is great and transport (be it tuk tuk, motos or drivers) are readily available just outside the front door. Perhaps what sets this hotel apart is the staff - it is a family run establishment and everyone... More

Stayed 2 nights over the weekend. Location is great, easily accessible to tourist spots. Tuk Tuk always ready outside hotel. Room is clean and big and breakfast is nice. Pool is simply awesome when we always need an escape from the scrotching sun. What I wanna highlight are the staffs, soriya, manjit, yvette, maya and of course maxiee, you guys... More

I booked our stay 48 hours before we came and we were not sure about what it would be like. We enjoyed our stay so much! We were greeted with friendliness and yummy drinks.

I was going to stay only a few nights but then found out that they could help me arrange a long term visa for Thailand, which meant I could bypass the Laos leg of my trip as that was all I was going there for. I ended up staying for almost a week and enjoyed my time a lot. The... More

A bourgeois early 60's villa turned into a comfortable little hotel in the centre of PNH. The place is special and comfortable, but the plus is the professional, kind and friendly attitude of the owners and the staff Suryia and Mary. Every time we had a need they gave us a help, from organizing a "last minute" dinner in room... More

Stayed here for a business trip and found the hotel to be very comfortable. It is a boutique hotel that offers excellent value for money. The rooms were very spacious and clean. The location is quite and feels very secluded. I'll be back next time I'm in town!
