Lux Riverside Hotel & Apartment sits in Daun Penh, one of those discreet four-star additions that travellers tend to bookmark before the rest of the city catches on. The strong location score reflects what guests actually feel on arrival, within an easy walk of the city centre, with the kind of rhythm a city traveller tends to want. Rooms feel well-appointed; the touches travellers mention most are on-site parking, reliable wi-fi and an in-house restaurant, and the comfort feedback has been consistently flattering. The vibe lands somewhere between residential and editorial, which is rarer than it sounds. The numbers behind the reviews tell their own story, around 700 reviews, scoring solid on balance. Reputation has held up across enough stays to mean something. Expect to pay something in the region of €38 a night, a middle-of-the-road entry on the board, especially when stacked against nearby alternatives. Whether Lux Riverside Hotel & Apartment is the right fit depends on the trip, but it earns a place on the comparison shortlist for Phnom Penh more often than not.
