The 252 is an impressive new boutique entrant in its price category raising Phnom Penh’s already high boutique value for money and style standard.

Review

The 252 has very quickly established itself as one of Phnom Penh's most popular hotels. And with room rates around US$50 it’s a great bargain. Contemporary decor and good facilities make this place a favourite.


Location


Close by the Independence Monument with good access to restaurants, bars and the sights of Phnom Penh.

Architecture, ambience and people


The new main building has 19 rooms and is agreeable enough but the interiors are where the owners have made the extra effort. Rooms are very cool with polished concrete and soothing, restrained colours. They’re a good size as well.

The outdoor restaurant and pool are also nicely done in a cosy, landscaped space.


Staff are friendly and helpful.

Facilities brief:
Pool, free wifi throughout, cable TV, breakfast.
