Every now and then a four-star earns its place on a shortlist by simply doing the basics very well, Vrest Hotel, in Daun Penh, is one of those. What gives the place its edge is the address itself: a short ride from the main sights, a detail that consistently shows up in what guests write afterwards. Expect well-appointed rooms with reliable wi-fi, a small spa and on-site parking, practical details that keep showing up in consistently flattering comfort feedback. The vibe lands somewhere between residential and editorial, which is rarer than it sounds. With well over 1,300 reviews on the books and a strong average, the reception from guests does most of the talking here. Reputation has held up across enough stays to mean something. Expect to pay something in the region of €32 a night, a middle-of-the-road entry on the board, especially when stacked against nearby alternatives. All told, Vrest Hotel reads as one of those Phnom Penh addresses worth lining up against the obvious choices before booking.
