Executive King Room
During our visit we stayed in an Executive King Room which gave us access to all the benefits of the Executive Lounge.
We arrived late at night and were more than ready for a comfortable bed and a good night sleep. The Novotel did not disappoint, the bed and pillows were like a soothing cloud, and we woke up feeling refreshed, ready to explore Phnom Penh.
The room was decorated in earth tones with a mural feature wall depicting scenes from Phnom Penh. There was a lounge area with a small table, flat screen TV, tea & coffee making facilities and a mini bar.
The stand-alone vanity basin was detached from the separate shower and bathroom, making for easy access. The shower had a choice of regular and rainwater shower, with good water pressure. Other amenities include a hairdryer and makeup mirror.
In the cupboard you will find a room safe, iron & ironing board, robe & slippers. Room service meals are available to all rooms.

We highly recommend trying the complementary Executive Lounge Afternoon Tea which is held from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm. This is accompanied by a selection of delicious sweet and savoury bites, tea, or coffee.
From 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm, unwind after a busy day of sightseeing with an evening cocktail, cold beer, and bar snacks.
