Le Botum Hotel sits in Daun Penh, one of those discreet four-star additions that travellers tend to bookmark before the rest of the city catches on. What gives the place its edge is the address itself: within an easy walk of the city centre, a detail that consistently shows up in what guests write afterwards. Inside, the rooms are well-appointed, and guests pick out an in-house restaurant, on-site parking and reliable wi-fi as the small things that add up over a stay. Pull the review pages apart and you find well over 1,300 reviews, with a strong consensus that's hard to engineer. Reputation has held up across enough stays to mean something. Recent rates have been hovering around €34 a night, which lands as a middle-of-the-road option for the city. The honest read on Le Botum Hotel is that it deserves a side-by-side look against the bigger Phnom Penh names rather than a headline of its own.
