Overview
Velkommen means 'welcome' in Danish and Norwegian, a clue that this guesthouse is Western-run. It sits on Street 144, one of the short streets running inland from Sisowath Quay, which puts the riverfront and most of Phnom Penh's main sights within walking distance.
Rooms are air-conditioned and come with cable TV and a minibar, and many have a private balcony with a view over the city or towards the river. The restaurant cooks Khmer dishes and Western comfort food, which is useful if you arrive late or fancy an easy breakfast.
Practical help is a strength: reception is open 24 hours, there's a tour desk for booking trips and transport, internet is available throughout, and a laundry service takes care of the washing between stops.
