Today we are going to give you an honest, no-frills review of the Ohana Palace Hotel near the riverside in Phnom Penh. This won\u2019t be your everyday review that you read about hotels. <\/p>\n
We\u2019re going to talk about things that really matter in hotels like accessibility, Wi-Fi speeds, is the room noisy, how dark is it in the morning ands more. Could this be one of the best places to stay in Phnom Penh.<\/p>\n
Where is the Ohana Palace Hotel located?<\/h2>\nAddress: <\/strong>4&6 Street 148 Phsar Kandal Phnom Penh, Phnom Penh 12204, Cambodia<\/a><\/p>\nPrice: We paid $90AUD per night<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\nThe Ohana Palace Hotel\u2019s location puts you right in the heart of the action in Phnom Penh, making it a great choice for tourists visiting the capital of Cambodia. The hotel has easy access to all the sites in the city<\/a>. This was one of the big attractions of the hotel for us.<\/p>\nDirectly opposite the hotel, you will find a laundry, day spa and small convenience store. There are always Tuk Tuks waiting to take you around the city, while on the corner near the riverside is Harry\u2019s which serves good priced beer and cocktails.<\/p>\n
How close is everything?<\/h3>\nPhnom Penh is city we loved exploring from it vibrant cafe scene to Unesco World Heritage sites. We found the Ohana an ideal place to access all the best things Phnom Penh has to offer. <\/p>\n
The Jasmine Spa Laundry over the road is helpful if you\u2019re staying a few days, we paid $2 Australian per kilo, where the hotel wanted that for 1 shirt. While the Tuk Tuks are out the door waiting, it\u2019s better to use Grab (Asian equivalent of Uber) or atleast get a price from Grab first so you know you\u2019re not getting ripped off on a ride fare.<\/p>\n
Just 50 meters away is the riverside where the Phnom Penh night market is held every weekend and there are plenty of places to eat and drink for lunch and dinner. A few doors up is Harry\u2019s Bistro and Cafe which we went to a number of times. The drinks at Harry\u2019s were cheap with draught beer being $1.50 USD and Long Island Ice Teas $2USD. Make sure you order some spring rolls they were amazing.<\/p>\n
Ohana Palace Hotel first impression<\/strong><\/h3>\nSo the location is excellent. Now, what were our first impressions? The lobby is clean, the staff seem really friendly and the AC is definitely working, which in the Cambodian heat is absolutely essential.<\/p>\n![\"the](\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\")

<\/figure>\nWhat did we think of the Ohana Palace Hotel?<\/h3>\nLet\u2019s get into the real stuff, what was the hotel itself like?<\/p>\n
What is the hotel\u2019s accessibility like?<\/h3>\nThe hotel had both steps and a ramp leading into the front door, which is great for people in wheel chairs and with mobility issues. There are lifts taking you up to your rooms from the lobby that would easily fit a wheel chair.<\/p>\n
Where the hotel fails is with accessibility to the top floor where breakfast is served. There is no lift access, you need to walk up two flights of stairs, not ideal for people with mobility issues.<\/a> The ground floor pool has a single step that needs to be navigated to get to the poolside.<\/p>\nThe hotel lets itself down with no accessibility to the rooftop, which is a standout feature of the hotel, while being friendly enough for hotel and room entry. The rooftop has a restaurant, bar and pool that you can\u2019t access if you have mobility issues.<\/p>\n
Room size and layout:<\/h3>\nOur room was a good size and resembled what it looked like when we booked through Booking.com. We had a large (king size) bed, which was pretty firm, I must say. The room had a small table and lounge chair, TV and a good amount of power outlets. <\/p>\n![\"Hotel](\"https:\/\/wyldfamilytravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/room-at-Ohana-Palace-1024x576.jpg\")
<\/figure>\nThere was cupboard space for you to unpack, a room safe and of course robes and slippers. All pretty standard stuff you would expect in any hotel.<\/p>\n
What was on Tv at the Ohana Palace Hotel<\/h4>\nThe TV had a large selection of channels, including international channels such as ABC Australia<\/a>. The room was comfortable enough that we spent some time inside most afternoons to escape the heat.<\/p>\n\n
