Wow. This was a great surprise, recommended by a French resort owner from Kep. From the street, it's tucked away in an undistinguished commercial block, but walk into the complex, and stress just evaporates. The owner has creatively transformed an old admin building into a cool retreat. Even in the middle of the city, it's remarkably peaceful inside the courtyard where the pool and garden are. The rooms are modern and pleasant. The hotel is within walking distance to the Grand Palace, riverfront, as well as tons of restaurants, bars, shopping. There's a vegetarian restaurant 3 blocks away (Called The Vegetarian Cafe, I believe -- good food, cheap prices!) The breakfast buffet was great. Two words of caution - the address was confusing and was a block away from where it would have been chronologically. Also, I got a strong shock plugging in a coffee pot. I tried to tell the staff but wasn't sure I was getting my point across. Be cautious. Otherwise, I highly recommend this hotel that lives up to its name as a retreat in the city! Wish I could have stayed longer.
