For the tranquillity, security and privacy of everyone, only checked-in guests are allowed in the rooms at all times. Please be aware that should you wish to be joined by your partner at a later time/date you must notify front desk with your partner's details and ask your partner to bring valid identification (Passport or Khmer ID Card).
Our main and private pools are unmonitored, there are garden light fittings within a child’s reach and we do not wish to take any risks. Families with children are welcome at our nearby sister hotels the Kabiki and the240.
Yes, we will keep your luggage before check-in or after check-out and untill your next stay at the Pavilion.
No, we only have 20 rooms spread over two buildings. You won't see people with private pool rooms come out much either!
Yes, we are using a solar gravity based water heater. It is a unique system we developed as part of our environmental research and development projects. It is coupled with an electrical back-up that secures hot water when necessary in the rainy season.
The hotel has no tuk-tuks, however we provide indicative rates and can help you negotiate with drivers waiting outside.
Always remember:Tuk-tuks are a fun way to discover Phnom Penh, we hope you will enjoy them!
Any visitor needs a visa to enter the country. The visa can be obtained in Cambodian embassies abroad or at the airport upon arrival (two photos needed). Single entry tourist visas cost 20 usd and are valid for one month, renewable once. You can also ask for a 25 usd 1 month business visa, which can be extended to a multi-entry yearly visa at any travel agency.
You maye also get your visa online at www.cambodiaonarrival.com.
Good question! The national currency here is the Riel (1 US Dollar = app. 4000 - 4200 Riels), but everybody uses US dollars everywhere in the country. Make sure you always have small change for tuk-tuk rides and small shops as they probably won't accept a 50 dollar bill! It has been argued that using dollars devaluates the Cambodian currency, so you might consider changing your money to Riels.
Beware that worn dollar bills, or even presenting a small tear, will not be accepted in Cambodia.

The boat to Siem Reap is a great experience, but can sometimes be quite unpredictable (not leaving on a particular day, changing boats on the way...). It runs more or less regularly from August to April if the river level is high enough. The trip takes approximately 6 hours. The landscape, a bit boring when on the lake, is truly beautiful along the river if you are adventurous enough to travel on the roof (don't forget to apply sunscreen, even when cloudy). Around 35 usd. Please ask reception for more information/reservations.
Traveling by bus is the most common way to get to Siem Reap. The landscape isn't as nice as on the boat, but there are many buses that travel all day and all year round. Tickets cost arround 10 usd and the trip lasts 6 hours (don't forget your earplugs as karaoke is often loud!). Please ask reception for more information/reservations.
You can also travel by plane to Siem Reap with Cambodia Angkor Air (subsidiary company of Vietnam Airlines). This is the safest, fastest (50 mins), but most expensive solution (rates fluctuate from 130 - 200 usd return). Please visit a local travel agent for more information as tickets are rarely available from abroad.
