This was a great little hotel in a really good location, opposite the National museum and just down the road from the Hyatt, and only a block or so away from the river. Plenty of restaurants around and close to everything. I had a ground floor room with a bed on a mezzanine level overlooking a courtyard. Very steep stairs up to a mattress on the floor so will not suit everyone.  

The hotel is at the back of a coffee shop so you don’t get immediate street noise. For under $20 a night, I can fully recommend.

It’s all about the location

We stayed for 3 nights in the family room with a balcony (on the 1st floor). The staff are so nice & always greet you. 

The room itself is complete with a washing machine, a fridge, a kettle, a microwave, a hairdryer, etc. Though the washing machine & microwave is a little dirty. The bed & towels are clean. The floor & the balcony is dusty. It has 2 small bathrooms, but the water heater isn't working well & low ceiling. The room is a bit rundown but still good. The bathtub on the balcony is useless. Not good sound buffering. Can hear sounds from above level & outside. 

It is within walking distance of the National Museum & other attractions.

Please be reminded that we stayed in a room with a loft. The height of the loft is less than 1.8m. This room is not suitable for a family with small children due to the stairs going up & down to the loft. 

Fabulous stay 

The guest house is above a nice coffee shop in the tourist heart of Phnom Penh- the Royal Palace, river, bars and restaurants are all within a 10 minute walk. Our room was on the 4th floor at the rear of the building facing onto the Hyatt hotel but with a nice view of surrounding buildings. The room was a good size and clean. The bathroom had warm shower and a dip in the floor which stopped water spreading across the floor. Staff were friendly but spoke little English. 

Negatives- the mattress was awful. Lumpy and with hard ridges. I resorted to sleeping on top of the duvet to make it comfier. Easily the worst bed I’ve slept in during a month in SE Asia.

There are a lot of steps and no lift. We’re fairly fit but these steps are steep and it’s a slog carrying your bags to high floors.

We booked on a booking engine and paid $28 a night but at the hotel our room looked to be available at $23. Maybe shop around and try the hotel’s own website. 

In summary it’s a good option to be in the centre of things, rooms are okay apart from the bed I had, but I’d say $23 is a more appropriate price than $28.

Nice hotel let down by an uncomfy bed!

Very artisitic residence in Phnom penh. I believe this is the only one in Phnom Penh that you can find. the place is very unique and comfortable. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Cafe at the lobby is very good and price is really low. I always had 1 in the morning and 1 in the evening.

Artistic Residence and tiny

We arrived Phnom Penh mid night and we had many document and test at the airport. But we arrived the residence as they send us direction and instruct us. We arrive warm and welcome with 2 night receptionist assist us for the check in. The room is compact but full of everything. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Thank you and surely to come back and stay.

The Artist Residence was a lovely calm, clean place to stay, my room was beautiful with a small kitchenette, 2 bathrooms, decent air con, good natural light with good interior lighting too, bed was comfortable plus the room was cleaned on request. So many staff and all were so nice to me during my stay includi g night security who always parked my motorcycle inside at night then parked it outside in the morning for me. Great location where I could people watch from the balcony morning noon and night, only a 10 min stroll to the Riverside but I do walk slowly. Couldn't fault my 3 month stay at all. I forgot to mention the wi fi was very good, and ground floor is a nice trendy and chilled coffee shop, worth a visit for a coffee if nothing else.
Thankyou
All at The Artist Residence, I hope to return late 2021 and stay in the same room. 

It was like staying with family, I was fortunate to stay 3 months 

We stayed four nights at The Artist. The facilities were excellent: good wifi, very quiet a/c, in-room safe & fridge & the restaurant downstairs did an excellent breakfast. Location could not be better- opposite the National Museum, 2 minutes walk to the Royal Palace & 5 minutes walk to the Tonlé Sap river & the famous Foreign Correspondents’ Club. 

Only 2 slight mark-downs:
1 - The bed was rock hard. Hard beds are normal in s/e asia, but this was on another level.
1 - There was no door on the bathroom, only a woven rattan blind - great for carrying on conversations, but not so good for privacy.

All in all, I would definitely recommend The Artist, as the plusses greatly outweigh the minuses.

Great value.

We stayed at two separate occasions during our pre-booked trip. 

While the location on paper is great, we didn't find the surroundings particularly appealing (although Phnom Penh didn't impress us overall, so this is probably not really the guesthouse's fault). 

The first room for 2 nights was an "upgrade" from the standard room (the one in the main picture) and that one certainly was nice. 
Cleanliness was OK, the bed sadly hard as concrete and the sheets fitted to small. 
Aircon was very weak, the lock of the balcony door mostly broken so we wedged it close with a chair.

The second room for a quick overnight stay was disappointing. There was no air extraction from the bathroom so the whole room was much more humid. Airconditioning in this room was non-functional (or to be fair, no cold air, only the blower). The same rock-hard mattress as the previous room. 

Breakfast is OK but the kitchen certainly isn't busy - i probably wouldn't attempt the hollandaise menu options, but eggs and pancakes are fine.

The staff, it has to be said, is very friendly.

guesthouse with potential but variable rooms

My lovely wife and I spent four nights at this guesthouse when visiting Phnom Penh. The location - close to the Royal Palace, Silver Pagoda & National Museum - is excellent. There are also lots of restaurants, bars & street food vendors nearby. But that aside I wasn't too impressed. 

We stayed in a mezzanine room, which has the bedroom upstairs and the bathroom and a built in concrete wardrobe & desk downstairs. It's a weird arrangement but just about works if you're short. Anyone taller than 5 foot 6 inches (about 1.67m) would struggle as there simply isn't enough headroom upstairs. The  metal stairs up to the bedroom are also pretty steep so you need to be in good shape. The bed itself was way too firm for my liking. It felt like sleeping on the floor. Moreover, the pillow was like a bag of old socks.  Needless to say, I didnt sleep too well.

Everything about the guesthouse is a little bit tired. The whole place - which smells rather damp & musty - could do with a deep clean and a good lick of paint. 

All in all it seemed rather expensive at $27 per night excluding breakfast. I wouldn't stay again. But if you do decide to stay here, try to get one of the regular rooms. These are much roomier and have nice high ceilings. They also have windows which are sadly lacking in the mezzanine rooms.
