Phnom Penh Guest Policy and IDs

pdogg · February 28, 2015

In Thailand just about every bar worker has an ID card.

This is not so in Cambodia.

I would say that about a third have IDs.

This is due to the poor administrative infrastructure of the country.

If you have a hotel that closely checks IDs, it's not a big deal if a lady borrows and ID from another lady her same age.

But it can be problematic with ladyboys trying to use a lady's iD.

If bringing guests to your room is your most important concern then I recommend Sundance.

You can either enter through the noisy non-hostess bar downstairs or through a private side door.

No ID check.

No lift, steep stairs.

Has a pool, but by no means a lap pool, barely swimable.

Friendly owner. Cheery rooms.

On Street 172 with lots of good farang restaurants.

Although it's an easy walk to the bars on Street 51 and Street 136, it is a dark deserted walk at 2AM. Of course you can always take a tuk tuk.

Lots of pros and cons to this joint but if making sure that your ladyboy can get to into your room is your number 1 priority, this is a good choice.

If you book this hotel through Agoda, please do it by way of Asia Hotel and Travel. Thanks! :hi:

Please share your experiences and exact guest policy details and ID check of Phnom Penh hotels.
