We saw a group of foreigners with prostitutes at the hotel lobby. The gentleman at the counter was pleased to tell us that bringing prostitutes to this hotel was very popular. We left after one night. We strongly disagree with that kind of practice. We were disgusted to be sleeping in their beds.
Ever since that experience, we only stay at hotels that have a no prostitution policy, and we are more than happy to pay extra. We travelled with family, and needed a place that was budget and would accommodate for 5 rooms. Every room and part of this hotel was germ breeding pit. The lady at the counter was so arrogant, and her service was appalling. Stay here only if you're desperate. We arrived late at night so we were first happy then we get the message that we can sleep there.
But then we came up to the room in the fourth floor we get a shock. Everwhere were used condoms and sperm beads. The toilet was unuseable because it was without a toilet lid and very very very dirty. I have to say this hotel is a hour hotel too. Many prostituets looked at us very bad because we were traveling with the whole family.
Result: Morakat Hotel is maybe one hour nice but not for travellers that spend there holiday with the family. The staff took very good care of me. I told them I wanted a fresh fruit cocktail twice a day, and they made it available very cheaply, although it wasn't on the menu. They gave good advice on seeing Phnom Penh, and I was pleased to hear that a public sauna was nearby. They sorted out a problem with a flight, and arranged an inexpensive lift to the airport. They directed me to where I found a Japanese restaurant, and a very nice live seafood restaurant.
The room was a bit uninspiring, but there was nothing fundamentally wrong with it. And it was very good value too. Phnom Penh. Profile JOIN. Log in to get trip updates and message other travelers.
