A great hotel indeed..and yes, it does go up over christmas. I booked it for the christmas week as my staycation hotel. They also have a boat and offer sunset cruises to customers.
Edward, Thanks for the review. Was in Phnom Phenh last month and loved it. Going back in February. Thanks to you for the review of the hotel. I just booked 3 nights there on Agoda. £26 per night including breakfast. Bargain and great location. Cheers!
I’ve stayed at a few hotels in Phnom Penh and the Ohana Phnom Penh Palace Hotel was by far the best value, great buffet breakfast included in the price until 12 noon, 2 swimming pools one on the ground floor plus 2 small pools on the roof, glorious view, very large rooms and friendly staff. Also great location next to the Riverside and an interesting street market! Very very comparable as an alternative to the one you stayed at Eddie!
ED, I was reluctant to watch, I was waiting for some 10 gallon Tex gobshite to jump out from the shadows 😂 nice one mate, you’ve listened to me after the Siem Reap attempted back door forced entry, spend some dollar 😂😅👍
Real nice hotel Eddy. I normally travel to the Philippines but your opening up my eyes to a few places I would to see. Great information, outstanding video as always.
I did the Okay Boutique Hotel in 2022 and it is indeed a fine hotel. Not fancy, but very much above the bar. Don't get turned off by the side alley, plenty of lights, tuk tuks and ATMs. All good. Nice view over the Arts university. In terms of Wi-Fi, I was actually working for a week out of here
Stayed in the blue lime next to this hotel before. It's a great location. Short walk from some decent bars on street 172. Think I might book this hotel for my trip there in January. Thanks for the video Ed!
Was in the blue lime in November, they were struggling to be fair not as it used to be, think the lockdown has broken them a bit. This is definitely a better option.
Hi Edward..., Excellent video and very informative, and "Thank you" for sharing the video... The price is right in American dollars and one spectacular clean hotel, and close to everything downtown in ( Phnom Penh ), Cambodia... Once again, "Thank you"... " Semper Fi " Mike in Montana P.S.: I am a "Subscriber" and I hit the bell, too... :)
Eddie i stayed there about 3 yrs ago when i worked in cambodia its a great hotel i had a boss room very big sofa in there bed tv it was great the pool is great the room i had was a family room ihad my wife and daughter its great there enjoy it
Good afternoon sir .ay I ask how long you will be travelling for as I'm going Bangkok then cambodia as I would like to no how do you work out your visa thanks
I was in Phnom Penh in October and stayed very close to there at the King Boutique, $30 US, across from the royal park. Very nice but no pool or breakfast, I will check this one out next visit. Cheers from Texas!
Eddie, you should spend Xmas and New Year Eve Count Down in Pub Street or NagaWorld Casino in PP. You will love it. Prior to that, you should visit Diamond Island and Euro Park.
OK Boutique. I used that for a few years (before get apartment), very nice hotel next to school of fine arts. 5 min to Riverside and the palace. A hotel I would recommend. Oh and my mate of about 20 years, Sokah, owns the blue chilli lol. Ya get a show there Friday and Saturday night....
Just checked the price for the hotel and it was going for $67 USD and that was supposingly on special, maybe Xmas time prices , either way you got a good deal
Ah so it’s not just me. I checked it also. February was cheaper than January. For 7 nights 20 Feb to 27 Feb Agoda showed no vacancies but Booking gave the price as 13,855 THB which comes out around $57/night.
I,ve missed that nice, pleasant music you chose for the intro/outro. Only heard it on YOUR channel b4. Hotel looks sort of Cambodian/French colonialism style? For about £22 it looks a FAB choice Edd. ;-]
I stayed there in January very nice and I had stayed before ....and there a nice Cambodia restaurant the other end of road very cheap ... And a nice India other side of the road hotel
Cheers Eddie yep the value in these hotels in Asia really is mindblowing that hotel is superb for the money.Hope to be there one day thanks for the vlog cheers mate.
I Stayed there three times last year with my friends, great hotel, restaurant is good, just be aware of the tuk tuk drivers out front ,they will take advantage of you , check with hotel on correct prices for tuk tuk.
I stayed there in 2015 and it was great, just as you described. They are also very Girl Friendly. The best part was the pool but the rooms were elegant. Think I paid more than 27 llbs per night though.
Great Hotel . . . Stay there whenever in Phnom Penh . . . Looks like you got the room near the lifts Ed, there are better ones . . . . And Check out the Sundance Bar around the corner . . . Terrific little spot
Although haven't been Cambodia, like the Philippines ( have been) just doesn't look as good as pattaya mate. Maybe a little cheaper but Thailand is probably safer, better medical facilities if you need it, better dining options. Yes you can say I'm not there but am pretty sure by your videos I'd be fuggin back off to pattaya. Angeles city in Philippines was not up to scratch i got out after a couple days. Long live pattaya.
@@STEADY599 We laugh about it now but at the time I'm sure it was a scary experience and could of took a nasty turn at any moment. Your subscribers are glad you made a vid regarding the perils and pitfalls when traveling.
Steady Eddy - Nice hotel! Reminds me a little of the former Jasmine Hotel on Soi BJ in Pattaya, which had similar artistic statues and sculptures for a budget price.
Simply amazing Eddie! Hey I'm sure some of those matronly Euro gelz back in Chania would give you a nice ride Eddie. Ask and you shall receive! Knock and the door shall be opened!
Killing me chose pattaya over pp a month ago and would have stayed at okay boutique. PP looks like a better option. Next time. Loving the videos though.
Yeah I paid 854 pound for my flight thai airways from Heathrow to Bangkok for march 16th I booked about a month ago ! 850 is about as cheap as you can get right now ! I was in thailand in September and my flight was 551 so for March it's 300 more
@@stevenbigsby890 cheers Steven , now I know it's the normal price, , I can't wait to get back , my style of trip is like eds but I do do a bit of birdwatching! Seriously 🤣, feathered one ! You've a few months to wait?
Hey Steady Eddy, enjoy your videos. I will be in Cambodia in February at both Phnom Penh and Siem Reim. Just two singles guys and which city should we spend most time at and does 136 street have best looking P for P girls or are they better in Siem Reim? Yeah, during the day we are doing temples at Siem Reim and touristy stuff at Phnom Penh.
Eddy,,,going off your video l have JUST booked 8,,nights in the OKAY BOUTIQUE HOTEL,,didn't get your price but HAPPY,,looking forward to Phnom Penh £95 return flight ✈ From Bangkok,,,Not BEEN not since all the COVID shite,,😎😎😎.
Hi Eddie, if you are going to Koh Rong, you should check out Than Sour Resort in Koh Rong and Mafiya Resort at Heaven Island. You will love it more than Koh Rong itself. Just FYI
Looks great ! When I stayed in Phnom Penh in a 1960's building, I couldn't help but think of when the Khmer Rouge emptied the city and it was mainly deserted for 4 (?) years.
A great hotel indeed..and yes, it does go up over christmas. I booked it for the christmas week as my staycation hotel. They also have a boat and offer sunset cruises to customers.

And is that hotel guest friendly also?
@@franciscoquevedo8240 Yes 👍

Thanks, Roy, both places look great. Thanks for sharing.
a nice spinner draped over the triangle cushion. lovely stuff. Ricki's hotel is $140 a night and looks like a computer laboratory.

Eddy, I'm bloody jealous. You're living the good life at that swanky hotel. It's worth every pound.
Hey I'm available to show you around some spots here in Phnom Penh, love your videos Ed. I have 3 years here and speak Khmer.
Real nice hotel Eddy. I normally travel to the Philippines but your opening up my eyes to a few places I would to see. Great information, outstanding video as always.
Cheers mate
Hi Eddie for the review on the hotel looks good would like to visit Phnom Penh so probably would stay there thanks mate have an awesome day 👍
Great hotel I have stayed here, to visit the killing fields very sad but well worth a visit. Lovely pool.
Lovely Hotel. The views from the top are amazing, especially at night.
I stayed there when I first arrived in Cambodia 🇰🇭.
Very comfortable, friendly staff and close to everything 👌.
Hi! Just discovered your channel. You have exciting and good videos. In many ways, Cambodia seems like an exciting tourist destination.
Stayed there in April 2019. Great rooftop pool & huge rooms. Take me back!
Beautiful music selection at the start. ❤️
I did the Okay Boutique Hotel in 2022 and it is indeed a fine hotel. Not fancy, but very much above the bar. Don't get turned off by the side alley, plenty of lights, tuk tuks and ATMs. All good. Nice view over the Arts university.
In terms of Wi-Fi, I was actually working for a week out of here
Good to know!
Often stayed there,hard to beat for the price....just around the corner from st.172 and the Black Pearl Bar

Leavening Siem Reap tomorrow to go back to Phnom Penh and will check this place out. Thanks Eddy.
Looks good. I wonder if they will do a Christmas dinner at that hotel? Are you staying there over Christmas and New year?
No.
That alleyway screams "hello darling" to me....
Steady Eddie you certainly find the bargain hotel ❤❤❤
Did ya try the Hanuman Beer yet Eddie? I want to know your opinion. Not my favourite but seems popular ☺️
Not yet
Eddie, you should spend Xmas and New Year Eve Count Down in Pub Street or NagaWorld Casino in PP. You will love it. Prior to that, you should visit Diamond Island and Euro Park.
I'm talking about Pub Street in Siem Reap
Thanks for the video Ed .

Cambodia is very safe...I love how westerners say what's safe... compared to USA or England
Pattaya isn't everybody's cup of tea, mate. Some of us think 🤔 it su-ks 😅😂
Thanks, gonna try it out in January
I said it once and I'll say it again you know value and at $27 a night that's a steal for that you are getting Cheers Eddy !
About $32 USD
A great looking hotel with character at a bargain price, for a capital city.
Side street leading to the hotel should be renamed " Darling Lane " 😍
I'll never live that down

Hahahaaa , yes
Ladyboy concierge services are compulsory!
it's all fun and games until someone gets poked in the eye
Steady Eddy - Nice hotel! Reminds me a little of the former Jasmine Hotel on Soi BJ in Pattaya, which had similar artistic statues and sculptures for a budget price.
That looks a bargain for all you can get. Good find Eddie
What name of hotel?
That room is a bit dark and looks like it's in the staff quarters,the view from the balcony reminds me of Wormwood Scrubs.Cheers
Simply amazing Eddie! Hey I'm sure some of those matronly Euro gelz back in Chania would give you a nice ride Eddie. Ask and you shall receive! Knock and the door shall be opened!
A little gem😃👍🇬🇧
Hey Eddie, I stayed at this very hotel twice!….great!
Are you saying you’ve been able to get out of bed before noon for breakfast? Wow!
Surprisingly, yes
🥳🥳🥳
have very good food .... wish the chairs were not to close to eachother
Killing me chose pattaya over pp a month ago and would have stayed at okay boutique. PP looks like a better option. Next time. Loving the videos though.
The Steady Eddy seal of approval, better than a Michelin Star! 😁
Exactly
Ed, how much was return ticket to bkk ? , Cheapest I've found from London is £850,! I've this about right🤔

Hi Eddie, if you are going to Koh Rong, you should check out Than Sour Resort in Koh Rong and Mafiya Resort at Heaven Island. You will love it more than Koh Rong itself. Just FYI
Thanks for your info
Great hotel with a lot of character Ed. Your room looked a bit on the small side to me. It was outshone by the rest of the hotel IMO.
27 dollars night I'd say that's bloody good value steady 👍
Welcome to Cambodia 🇰🇭
now you're in the right area
Looks very familiar because I stayed there in 2019.
Good wifi?
Ed do you ever lounge by the pool supping beer
I think about it but rarely get around to it.
That Hyatt looks so boring compared to that wonderful hotel you're at. Pool looks great.
Looks great ! When I stayed in Phnom Penh in a 1960's building, I couldn't help but think of when the Khmer Rouge emptied the city and it was mainly deserted for 4 (?) years.
This city has sure seen some horrors
I stayed at the Blue Lime next door absolutely crap. I caught dengue fever from all the mozzies in the room.
nice spot for that money ED ,were freezing here in the north of england wish i was there
Keep warm, mate.
Now that is great value
