Located in the heart of Phnom Penh’s Daun Penh district (that’s the riverside neighborhood), Frangipani Royal Palace is on the doorstep of the National Museum and the Royal Palace, and a two-minute walk to the plethora of bars, restaurants, and shopping on the riverside.
Frangipani Royal Palace Hotel is just a block away from Phnom Penh’s riverside in the heart of the action.
The best thing about Frangipani Royal Palace Hotel is the central location and the rooftop pool which offers gorgeous panoramic views of Phnom Penh.

Rooms at the Frangipani Royal Palace Hotel are simple but clean.
Less impressive were the rooms. Rooms are spacious and have everything a busy visitor would want, including cable TV and a bathtub. But considering the price, the rooms were a bit faded. They were clean, but our room has some peeling paint, which is not what you’d expect in a “luxury” hotel (yes, $80 is a luxury hotel in Cambodia). If you’re willing to stay somewhere less central, you’d be able to find something more luxurious for the price.
Frangipani Royal Palace Hotel is one of a group of four Frangipani Villa hotels in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. Of them, Frangipani Royal Palace Hotel is the high-end option in Phnom Penh. Many of the rooms aren’t as snazzy as they could be, but still offer great value for money in a really central location; the hotel is walking distance from lots of nice restaurants and bars, plus attractions like the riverside, Royal Museum, and the Royal Palace.
