Point Boutique Hotel

The Point Misses the Mark: A Stay That Fell Short The Point Hotel had its moment—a sleek remodel a few years back—but time hasn’t been kind. What’s left is a place that feels worn at the edges, like a once-sharp suit now fraying at the cuffs. The staff? Polite, accommodating, even apologetic. But good intentions can’t paper over the cracks. My first room was a sauna masquerading as a 9th-floor suite. The AC wheezed and sputtered, utterly defeated by the Phenom Penh sun. No relief, no breeze—just stale, humid air and the creeping realization that I’d made a mistake. To add insult to injury, the Wi-Fi was practically nonexistent, turning what should’ve been a quick work call into a farce. Picture this: me, pacing a narrow corridor, hauling luggage up and down an elevator that demanded its own special key (which, of course, I kept forgetting). A comedy of errors—if only it were funny. Then came the housekeeper—efficient to the point of abrupt, offering solutions that felt more performative than practical. When I finally called Trip.com for help, the spotty connection turned the conversation into a game of broken telephone. (Irony, thy name is weak Wi-Fi.) The staff did relocate me to another room, but by then, the damage was done. Too many red flags, too little charm. I checked out early, still wondering what, exactly, "The Point" was supposed to be. A lesson learned, if nothing else: sometimes, a fresh coat of paint isn’t enough.

Great location for nightlife in the area. Would recommend for a 2-4 night stay. Request the balcony room. Easy to walk around at night!

Very clean room, friendly service and good riverside view
