"Our room at Golden Sand Hotel was spacious with basic furniture and a clean toilet. We only stayed there for 1 night but the staff were very warm and friendly and even helped us with finding another Hotel in Phnom Penh. For a budget hotel and breakfast included you can’t go wrong".

I was undecided about this hotel because of the mixed reviews but I was looking for somewhere cheap to stay for one night. I arrived about 12pm but ||check in|| wasn||t until 2pm and I was allowed to leave my luggage to one side, it wasn||t locked away but there were other suitcases and when I came about about 5ish, it was still there. I booked a twin room for around £45 and it was a lot bigger than many other more expensive hotel rooms of better quality. There was a double bed (with a random camp bed by the side?!), wardrobe, dressing table and tv. The bathroom was also of a decent size and the room was clean and tidy. I didn||t see any peeling wallpaper or mould patches like I have seen in pictures for other hotels of this prices! I would recommend this hotel to others that are looking for a cheap place to stay and who isn||t going to be spending much time in the room. Those looking for something romantic or with kids may want to try their luck somewhere else, but for a lone traveller, it was great!

We read the reviews right before we arrived and were terrified ourselves. Once we got there the two brothers in Reception were very friendly, the room itself was small (as to be expected for our cheap price), but it was clean, safe and comfortable. Each day it was cleaned, there wasn||t any thievery, the staff was exceptionally friendly, even the night staff were very welcoming. The neighbourhood is not bad at all, we walked the streets at midnight and were completely safe. The brothers (owners) are trying very hard to make the hotel the best they can, when we were there they just installed new plasma tvs in each room. Its what you expect from a 2 star hotel, probably more 3 stars. We were in room 66 and slept very comfortable.
