The men’s hotel in Phnom Penh offers a unique and inviting atmosphere specifically aimed at gay male travelers, though it is open to all men. The rooms are tastefully decorated with gay-themed artwork, giving the hotel a lively and comfortable vibe. It’s a great place to relax and unwind, offering privacy and opportunities for social interaction in a safe, welcoming space.One of the key features of the hotel is the on-site gay sauna, where guests can enjoy free access and socialize in a relaxed environment. The outdoor L-shaped pool is a fantastic spot to relax or meet others, and the hotel also offers a heated, covered pool for those seeking a more private experience. The majority of the outdoor space is clothing-optional, providing guests with the freedom to relax in a more laid-back, informal setting.The hotel also boasts a bar and restaurant on-site, serving up convenient meals and drinks, as well as excellent massage services, where guests can choose their preferred masseuse for a customized experience. The friendly staff is always available to offer local recommendations, particularly regarding the gay-friendly venues and spots around Phnom Penh.A downside for some guests may be the use of animal skins in the decor, including a zebra skin rug, which may be off-putting for those sensitive to such choices. However, despite this, the hotel remains an excellent option for gay travelers looking for a comfortable, sociable, and relaxing stay in Phnom Penh.With its various pools, sauna, massage services, and clothing-optional outdoor spaces, this hotel is a great choice for visitors looking for both relaxation and social interaction in Cambodia’s vibrant capital.Jan

I think the negative reviews here aren't entirely fair. Price was around $6.50 before 8 PM, which is reasonable. The place’s not the most spacious, but not too cramped either. They have a pool, steam room, jacuzzi, among other amenities. It's actually brighter than some reviews suggest. However, be prepared for a crowd that might disrupt your relaxation by constantly coming and going, and standing around like they're judging the Mona Lisa. This isn’t the fault of the establishment, just something to be aware of. Minus one star for not providing complimentary water, as a sauna can leave you dehydrated.kissesbloody

The hotel is a little more expensive than others, but offers modern, large and clean rooms, very friendly and English-speaking staff and an excellent breakfast. The pool is large. Mixed crowd in the spa area in the evening. A large external fitness center is located near the hotel.Arjuna P

I used only the sauna facilities. What a huge difference from 5 years ago, when it was such a wonderful perfect place. Now it is rather seeing its age. First, there is price discrimination. At $10, it is steep, especially compared to the other French-run place: Men's Resort in Siem Reap, which charges $5 without discrimination. The deal breaker is that many things make it unsafe. The concrete floors are very slippery. There is nothing to absorb the water. Many well-run saunas use absorbent cloths and floor mats. Here, there is nothing but the concrete floors and stairs full of water. Walking up and down wet and slippery stairs in the dark is not a good idea. The cabins for privacy in the basement are also extremely unsafe. The “beds” are made of bare concrete and I almost shattered my head on a concrete block in the darkness. These should be made of wood and padded all round with cushions or matting. Cleanliness is not bad but since people are allowed to walk everywhere in their shoes, it can hardly be considered clean. Overall, a facility that has seen better days. Finally, and this is not the fault of the management, the surrounding environment is simply intolerable. There is constant construction of skyscrapers all around, even on Sunday. In fact, the construction noise is turned on double volume after nightfall. The loud music played does nothing to cover the construction noise. There will be no repeat visit for me. The disadvantages far outweigh any fun you might have here.TWM

One of my favourite long weekend places. Stayed many times and always a great break. Rooms are comfortable with good beds and all facilities needed. Beautiful pool and best of all it’s clothing optional and men only so you can relax naked, socialise and enjoy some great food and drinks. Sauna open at night to the public so can get quite busy with lots of locals looking for a good time in the sauna, steam or jacuzzi.
