"This was my first time in Phnom Penh. I don't speak any Khmer, and my English is at a very basic level, so I specifically looked for a Japanese-owned hotel. I chose Azumaya Hotel Phnom Penh because it had a large public bath, affordable massages, Japanese breakfast service, and free access to a washing machine and dryer.
* **Public Bath:** Women's bathing hours are after 11 PM.
* **Restaurant:** Breakfast is a buffet, but if you're late for the buffet hours, they'll serve you a set meal instead. I really enjoyed the daily changing local fruits and yogurt.
* **Massage:** $9 for 40 minutes, with courses up to 100 minutes available. It was so affordable that I used it every day.
* **Laundry:** Free of charge, with drum washing machines and large dryers.
* **Outlets:** Although the picture shows a Type C plug, Japanese plugs can be used directly.
* **Location:** I'm not entirely familiar with Phnom Penh's entertainment district, but a 7-minute tuk-tuk ride will get you to Central Market, Boeung Keng Kang Market, Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, and the Night Market. There's a Vietnamese convenience store a 2-minute walk away. Starbucks is right in front of the hotel. Within a 1-minute walk, there's a Japanese set meal restaurant, a Vietnamese restaurant, and a Chinese restaurant (which I found a bit pricey).
* **Hotel Staff's Japanese Level:** They can handle simple Japanese. More complex conversations might be difficult, but they try their best to assist you. I had emailed the hotel beforehand to confirm the location and facilities, and I received an excellent response in Japanese.
* **Currency Exchange:** You can exchange yen for dollars or riel. 10,000 JPY was equivalent to $60.
* **Airport Express Bus Stop:** If coming from the airport, get off at Canadia Park (50 minutes from the airport), then it's a 5-10 minute tuk-tuk ride to the hotel. To get to the airport from the city, catch the bus from the University of Health Sciences, which is across the road from Canadia Park.
I would definitely stay at Azumaya Hotel again if I visit Phnom Penh in the future. The staff mentioned that almost all guests are Japanese."
