Brand New 1 Bedroom Infinity Pool Down to $36/N Phnom Penh Cambodia

Phnom Penh Paradise: $36/Night Infinity Pool 1-Bedroom!

Alright, buckle up, folks, because we're diving headfirst into the Phnom Penh Paradise: $36/Night Infinity Pool 1-Bedroom! Honestly? Sounds a little too good to be true, doesn't it? But hey, for that price, I'm willing to be a guinea pig. And I figured, since I'm already doing it, I might as well give you the FULL, UNFILTERED, and slightly scatterbrained review you deserve. Prepare for ramblings!

First Impressions & Accessibility (and my utter inability to navigate maps)

Getting there was… an adventure. My sense of direction is legendary (in the same way the Titanic was legendary, you know, for sinking). But hey, that's what Google Maps is for! Mostly. Now, let's talk accessibility. Okay, so, they say "Facilities for disabled guests", which is a good start. I didn't need any special access personally, but it's definitely a plus if they're making an effort. The elevator (a big one!) was a godsend after my epic pre-check-in trek in the blazing sun.

Checking In – Contactless or Chaos?

So, they have "Contactless Check-in/out." Score! Fewer human interactions, more time for me to sprawl out by that promised infinity pool. Perfect. The reception area was clean, bright, and thankfully, air-conditioned. That, after walking in Phnom Pen is a blessing. The staff, also a blessing.

The Bedroom! ($36, Remember?)

Okay, the room. The one-bedroom! (Did I mention it was $36?! Still can't believe it). It wasn't quite the palatial suite I'd been imagining (expectations versus reality – a tale as old as time!), but it was clean, spacious, and had… wait for it… air conditioning. A lifesaver. We're talking blackout curtains (essential for catching up on sleep after a late night out). The bed was comfy enough, and the sheets weren't scratchy, which is always a win. The bathroom? Got the basics. Hot water was reliable, toiletries are provided, and I loved the little mirrored vanity which was perfect for checking myself out after my infinity pool experience.

The Infinity Pool (Drumroll, Please!)

THIS is why you come. This is THE selling point! The infinity pool. The "Pool with view" promised glory and… it delivered. Seriously, the view alone is worth the $36. I spent a solid two hours just floating, staring at the Phnom Penh skyline. Bliss. They also have a poolside bar, which, naturally, I tested thoroughly. The cocktails were passable. The view? Unforgettable.

Food, glorious food! (And the occasional tummy rumble)

Okay, food. The "Restaurants" section is a big one. They have several. "Asian cuisine in restaurant," "International cuisine in restaurant" – fantastic. Plus a "Vegetarian restaurant." Good for all of us, no? I sampled the Asian breakfast, which was pretty delicious, a tasty start to the day. There's a coffee shop too, which I frequented for my daily caffeine fix. They have a "Room service [24-hour]", which I appreciated. I ordered a late-night snack, which arrived promptly. Food delivery is another good option.

Things to Do & Ways to Relax: More Than Just the Pool

They’ve got plenty of ways to relax! "Sauna," "Spa", "Spa/sauna," "Steamroom," plus a fitness center! I gave the fitness center a miss (I’m on vacation, people!), but hey, it's there for the go-getters. The "Massage" was a HUGE win. It was glorious! And way cheaper than anything I can find at home. Speaking of relaxation – the pool again! But also, they do a "Body scrub" and a "Body wrap" – tempting!

Cleanliness & Safety: Gotta Feel Safe, Right?

This is important, okay? They have all the buzzwords: “Anti-viral cleaning products”, “Daily disinfection in common areas”, “Rooms sanitized between stays”. Plus, “Hand sanitizer” everywhere you turn. The staff wear masks. I felt… safe. And in this era, that's absolutely key. They do have “doctor/nurse on call” which is good.

Internet Access (Because, let’s face it, we’re all addicted)

"Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!" Praise be! The Wi-Fi was reliable, which is essential. I need to Insta-brag about that pool, right? They also have "Internet [LAN]" – for the serious tech users (not me!).

For the Kids & Other Services

There are "Kids facilities," and they have "Babysitting service." Good for families! They have a "Concierge," a "Laundry service," a "Dry cleaning," too. You could get your clothes washed, and ironed, and still be under your budget.

The Quirks & Imperfections (Because Nothing’s Perfect)

Okay, here's the real, unfiltered truth. The elevator was occasionally… temperamental. The breakfast buffet, while good, wasn’t exactly Michelin-star quality. And, the "Happy hour" wasn't quite as happy as I'd hoped (drinks were still a little pricey). And the soundproofing could be better. On one occasion, I kept hearing my neighbor snoring.

The Verdict: Should You Book it? (HELL YEAH!)

Look, for $36 a night… I'm still in shock. And for that price? It's an absolute steal. The infinity pool alone is worth the price of admission. The rooms are comfortable and the staff is friendly. It isn't perfect. But it's damn good. Book it. Seriously. What are you waiting for?

Brand New 1 Bedroom Infinity Pool Down to $36/N Phnom Penh Cambodia

Okay, buckle up, buttercups. This isn't your sanitized, perfectly-planned travel itinerary. This is life in Phnom Penh, viewed through the haze of cheap beer and the faint scent of jasmine rice. And yeah, that $36/night infinity pool? Let's see if that REALLY holds up…

Phnom Penh: The $36 Infinity Pool Saga and Beyond (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Tuk-Tuk)

Days 1-3: Landing and the Lure of the Luxe (or at Least, the Affordable Luxe)

Arrival: Phnom Penh International Airport. Oh, the heat. It hits you like a wall. Passport control? Smooth(ish). Currency exchange? Got ripped off a tiny bit, but whatever. Gotta start somewhere! Found my pre-booked tuk-tuk (thank god for pre-booking; bargaining in this heat feels borderline cruel). The driver, a kid maybe 20, greeted me with a beaming smile. Immediately got a good feeling about the place.
The Hotel - or, Infinity Pool Dreams Take Shape: Checked in. The "Brand New 1 Bedroom Infinity Pool" place. Honestly, the lobby looked a little…tired. But hey, the pictures. The pictures. Took the elevator up. The room? Okay, the pictures were definitely enhanced. Still, one bedroom. And… yeah, the infinity pool is there. Overlooking… something. Maybe a bit of the city, some tin roofs, and a whole lot of sky. The pool itself? Glorious. First swim was absolute bliss. Floating, watching the sun sink below, feeling like a goddamn movie star (a broke movie start, but still!).
Discovery of "Local" Flavors: Started exploring my first night. Hit up a recommended restaurant – a nice patio with a decent menu. Had the fish amok. Delicious. The rice, perfect. Then, back to the hotel pool for a midnight swim, only to find a gaggle of loud, drunk guys having a party. I hid until they were gone.
The Messy Bit: The first morning, the shower went cold. And then the wifi… ugh. This is where the "Brand New" part starts to fray at the edges. Called reception. Hours of waiting. It took almost an entire morning until someone came to fix it. My first "Cambodia Moment."
Day 2 - The Royal Grandeur And the Stumbles: First thing – a proper iced coffee from a sidewalk stall. Life-changing. Next: The Royal Palace. Holy moly, bling! I get a little overwhelmed by grandeur. The Silver Pagoda? Just… breathtaking. I spent way too much time staring at the emerald Buddha, probably looking like a complete tourist. Got lost, wandered into a less-touristy alleyway, and almost accidentally walked into someone’s laundry line. I guess that is the messy part of "messy" structure.
The Tuk-Tuk Tango: Seriously, tuk-tuks are life. Learned a few basic Khmer phrases ("soksabay" for "how are you?" – they love that). Got ripped off once (I think), which is par for the course. Saw the killing fields. It hit me pretty hard. Couldn't shake it off.
Day 3 - The Market Madness And the Pool's Redemption: Visit the Central Market. A sensory overload. Spices, silks, everything. The people are friendly, the smells are intense, and the bargaining game is on. Bought a silk scarf. Way too much. Went back to the hotel, to redeem myself with the pool. The pool was empty and perfect.

Days 4-7: The Deep Dive and the Downfalls

S-21/Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum: A Gut Punch: Honestly, prepare yourself. It's devastating. It’ll leave you speechless, and then filled with a rage you never knew you had. But it's important, essential even, to face this history. Take your time. I sat there for hours, just…thinking.
The Street Food Safari: I started to become slightly adventurous. I actually tried insects. Crispy crickets. Not bad, actually. Found a little shop serving Khmer curry. The best I've ever had. I could feel it nourishing my soul.
Riverside Reflections and a Few Too Many Beers: The riverfront is gorgeous. Watched the sunset, felt like I truly belong. Then, a few beers at a riverside bar. Okay, maybe a few too many. The next morning was rough. The pool was a lifesaver to recover.
Angkor Wat Tickets and the Reality of "Budget Travel": Decided to book a bus to Siem Reap. It's a long trip and I realized that budget travel is a skill (and a bit of a compromise!)
The Pool's Quirks: The pool got crowded on one day. Annoying. And one afternoon, I'm pretty sure I saw a small mouse swim by. The "Brand New" illusion was wearing thin.
The "Is This Real Life?" Moment: One evening, wandered into a small, local restaurant. The owner, an older woman, saw me struggling with my chopsticks. She just smiled, gently guided them, and then proceeded to tell me about her life, her family. It was heart-warming, unexpected. Just… real.
Emotion rollercoaster: During the trip, I found my camera's memory card corrupted so I lost all my photos.

Days 8-10: Leaving Phnom Penh (and Wishing I Wasn't)

Farewell Swim: One last swim in the infinity pool. The water was surprisingly cold. A nice goodbye. One last iced coffee. One last look at the city skyline.
Packing and Departure: The suitcase. Did I buy too much? I don't know, maybe. Left the city. And I did not want to leave. I felt I just got used to the place. That is a place I want to go back to.
Final Thoughts (and a Bit of Self-Reflection): Cambodia's not perfect. Nothing is. The "luxury" isn't always luxurious. The scams are real. But the warmth of the people? The beauty of the temples? The profound history? The food? It's all worth it. Even with the cold showers and the questionable wifi. I think I'll be back.

Remember: This is just a suggestion. Go explore. Get lost. Get ripped off (probably). Laugh. Cry. Eat strange things. Embrace the chaos. That's what Cambodia is all about. And for $36 a night…well, it’s a pretty sweet deal, imperfections and all.

Phnom Penh Paradise: Your Burning Questions (and My Exhausted Opinions!)

So, $36 a night… is this place a total scam? Like, am I gonna wake up with a cockroach as a roommate?

Okay, let’s be real. Thirty-six bucks in Phnom Penh? My internal alarm bells were *screaming*. I envisioned a glorified hostel with water damage and questionable plumbing. The truth? It’s…complicated. No cockroaches in sight, thank GOD. (Seriously, I have a phobia. Don't judge.) The apartment itself wasn't *brand* new, let's just say that. Think… well-loved. A few scuffs on the furniture, maybe the paint isn't the *exact* shade of pristine white anymore, but it was clean enough. And the aircon? Surprisingly strong! My sweaty palms were eternally grateful. The biggest lie (or embellishment) in the ad? The "luxury." Let's call it… "budget-friendly elegance." But hey, for the price? Totally forgivable. It's not the Four Seasons, but it's a HUGE step up from a sweaty dorm room. And believe me, I've been there.

That infinity pool though. Is it Instagram-worthy, or Instagram-pathetic?

Okay, the pool. The *reason* I booked the place. The *dream* I'd built in my head… Okay, let's address the elephant in the, uh, chlorinated water. It's not exactly the iconic infinity pool from the brochures. The view? Still good, overlooking the city (which, let's be honest, is kind of gritty-beautiful). Here's the kicker. I get there, all excited, ready to make my friends super jelly with a perfect poolside selfie… except the pool was PACKED. Like sardines in a can packed. Kids splashing, people doing laps, a group of teenagers taking turns trying to *impress* each other with horrendous dives. I lasted about ten minutes before retreating back to my slightly-less-than-perfect apartment and the sweet embrace of Netflix. But, when I found the time to swim alone... it was pure bliss.

What's the location like? Is it safe? Are you going to get mugged on the way to 7-Eleven for instant noodles?

The location's…well, it’s Phnom Penh. It’s not Rodeo Drive, folks. It's not *unsafe*, per se, but common sense goes a long way. After dark, stick to well-lit, busy streets. The apartment’s a bit of a walk from the super-touristy areas, which actually I kinda appreciated. You get a more local vibe. Okay, let's talk about the noodle run. I *did* make a noodle run. Twice. Both times I survived. The 7-Eleven (or its Cambodian equivalent) was about a 10-minute walk. I felt secure enough. But, always be aware of your surroundings. Don't flash expensive jewelry, don't walk alone at 3 am down dark alleyways. You know, the usual travel advice.

The "1-Bedroom" thing… is that a real bedroom? Or a glorified closet?

Yes, it's a real bedroom! And a decent-sized one. The bed was…comfy enough. The sheets were clean. I’ve slept in worse (much worse). But hey, it had a window, it had aircon (essential!), and it was all mine. I would not say it was spacious. I would not say it was luxurious. But it was a bedroom, dammit! And a private one at that. That, in and of itself, is a win in the budget travel game.

Is there Wi-Fi? (Because, let's be honest, that's crucial).

Yes, there's Wi-Fi. And it's…mostly okay. The signal strength varied wildly. Sometimes I could stream Netflix with ease, other times… well, let's just say I spent a lot of time refreshing Instagram. Consider yourself warned. Download your essentials before you go. And prepare to embrace the occasional digital detox. You might actually enjoy it. (Said the person who was constantly checking her phone, judging the quality of the wifi.)

What’s the deal with the service? Are the staff helpful? Can they speak English? Do they bring you room service? (Okay, probably not room service…)

Okay, so *room service* is a hard no. Let's just get that out of the way. But the staff… they were genuinely lovely humans. English wasn't perfect, but it was enough. They were patient, helpful, and always had a smile. I had a minor crisis (I locked myself out of my room, classic) and they were there within minutes to fix it. They even helped me find the best street food stalls nearby (score!). They’re not going to bend over backwards at every whim, but they're friendly, approachable, and did their best to make my stay pleasant. And honestly? Isn't that what you really want?

I read the reviews... some of them were kinda harsh... is it THAT bad?

Okay, the reviews. Yeah. I read them. People complaining about this, that, the other thing. You know how it is: Expectation versus Reality. Some people expect a palace for $36. Guess what? It ain't a palace. Here's my take: Some of the complaints are probably legit, Some people like to complain, no matter what. But I'm going to tell you something... I think it's worth the shot. The price is low enough that if it's awful, you can just... leave. No biggie. Just be realistic about expectations. Consider the price. Are you going to be picky? Get a five-star hotel. Are you budget-minded? Then this may be your paradise. My opinion? For a budget traveler? It’s absolutely worth it. I'd go back, with the right expectations .

Would you actually recommend this place?

Alright, the big question. Would I recommend it? Here's the deal. If you're a seasoned traveler who's used to roughing it a little? Absolutely! If you're on a tight budget and want a decent place to crash with a *chance* of a cool pool experience? Definitely. If you're a luxury snob who expects pristine everything? Run screaming. RUN. It's not perfect. It's not luxurious. It's not always convenient. But it's an experience. It's Phnom Penh on a shoestring. It's a chance to see the city, to eat amazing street food, to (maybe) get a great pool shot for Instagram. It's a flawed, quirky, occasionally frustrating, but ultimately rewarding adventure. So, yeah. I'd recommend it. But go inUnique Hotel Finds
