Mansion 51 Hotel & Apartment

Mansion 51 was fine. It wasn't a great place to stay or a bad place either. The hotel did it's job and offered some amenities like a pool, mini playground for kids, and a washing machine (no dryer). I have stayed here twice already primarily because of it's price point and proximity to family. The one good thing about it is that it is walking distance to a lot of Western food places if you want that (Carl's Junior, Burger King, Domino's Pizza, Starbucks, etc.)

We were upgrade to a two bedroom apartment on the 8th Floor which was a pleasant surprise. The apartment needed tea towels for drying the dishes and hand towels in the bathroom. In Phnom Penh construction is everywhere and next door there is a large apartment block being constructed, it may end up being taller than Mansion 51, which will block the view for apartments (02). The construction starts at 8am and they continue to work under lights until 8.30pm. They finished earlier on New year's Eve 6pm. Were back the next day at 8am. The rooftop was fantastic for the fire works on New Years Eve. Our apartment was huge and we loved sitting on the balcony admiring the fantastic view.

Lots of space and very clean. Great rooftop pool and play structure for kids. Walked to good restaurants and massage spa nearby. Highly recommended!

The hotel was great and picked me up from the airport. Unfortunately when I was there, construction was nearby and noisy as to be expected. The location was great and nearby a lot of restaurants and bars, but that also added to the noise that could be heard from the room. The major disappointment was that there were LOTs of insects in the room. A couple is understandable due to the nature of the environment, but it was a crazy amount of insects everywhere in the room. They were nice enough to move me to a different room which was didn't have any noticeable insects, but it took a very long time to get that room ready and since I arrived for a late checkin, it seemed even longer. The room they gave me was not as nice as the room I had originally reserved. They told me that it was the same but when I checked online, the cost was a lot less. They didn't refund the price difference. Overall it was a decent hotel with nice people. Hopefully the insect issue was just a fluke.

Mansion 51 turned out to be the right place for my 7 day stay. The room was absolutely huge. Two bedrooms, two full bathrooms (tub in each w/shower). Lovely kitchen and full size living room. Air con worked flawlessly. And the rooftop pool was just what you needed after a long day of exploring Phnom Penh. I also used the hotel’s transfer to and from the airport. Very prompt. I have to recognize the staff for their professionalism and great attitudes.
