Book here only if you already have a room: the hotel states no day pass, so swimming is for residents. It publishes loungers, towels and city views under open sky, but no floor number.
The pool
This 4-star hotel in Khan Doun Penh has a rooftop pool under open sky, with views over Phnom Penh. Sun loungers and pool towels are provided. The hotel doesn't publish a floor number, and swimming is for guests only.
Our take
Phnom Penh 51 sits at the bottom of our list because it gives less detail than its neighbors. Hotel Emion Phnom Penh and Chaiya Palace Hotel, both also in Khan Doun Penh, publish their floors (18th and 16th). Here you get no floor and no pool size.
Access is the downside. The hotel states no day pass, so a non-guest has no route in. The nearest public option on our list is Garden City Water Park, with an adult day pass at $12.50, though that is a water park, not a rooftop.
Good to know
- Loungers and pool towels provided
- Rooftop pool under open sky, with city views
- Staff bring fresh towels and refreshments to pool guests
The catches
- Guests only, no day pass stated
- No floor number published
Best forGuests already booked in Khan Doun Penh who want a simple rooftop swim with towels provided.
Skip it ifYou want to swim without staying, since the hotel states no day pass.
Getting in
Staying guests are the only ones who can swim. The hotel's site states no day pass, and we found no bar or restaurant route to the roof.
The hotel doesn't publish age rules for the pool.
Tips
- Pack light: loungers and pool towels are supplied by the hotel.
- Visit in March to May if you can, the best swim months in Phnom Penh.
Before you go. Pool hours and child rules aren't published, so check both with the hotel when you book. Dates around Pchum Ben (24 Sep to 8 Oct 2029) and Khmer New Year in April 2029 are worth checking too.
