Very nice hotel (with really cool history) and beautiful pool. Food was delicious and beach was nice! They had gym, ping pong table and pool table so always something to do.

The staff was not service minded what so ever. They were nice, but incredibly confused, this goes for the staff both at the pool, the bar and the restaurant. It would take half an hour for the staff to bring out a glass of whine, with 5 people doing nothing. Sometimes we would get our drinks after we finished our dinner and they didn’t check on us ones of we needed anything else or wanted to pay, we always had to go find them ourselves. Felt like they were completely lost all of them.

This hotel exudes character and history. The atmosphere and overall experience was excellent and although the hotel had a few minor repairs needed such as tiles missing on the infinity pool, but this did not detract from our .experience. The New Year buffet on the beach was amazing and the best we've ever attended. Room was large and comfortable and had a great view of the bay. The staff including the general manager worked so hard to ensure everyone has had a special night and throughout our stay he service was first class.

Nothing everything was perfect

The swimming pool

The connecting door of 2 rooms. Other guests were able to open the connection door to my room while I was resting.

Excellent , the staffs , the buffet style with varieties of choice, clean , western and Asian culinaries with lots of choiced of pastries and bread too beside Asian food. The room is spacious with the beach view. Garden and the lay out is beautiful, lots of pictures hang on the wall had told us that once upon a time the hotel was a heritage International hotel and was visited with manny worlds leader..

The air condition seems and old ducting ,which need to be in service. I notice it when I had an allergic on the first night. But it was solved when I asked the front office staff to help me purchasing the claritin tablet for me.I recovered soon , i did not use much Aircondition to minimise this ptoblem.

Historic, well appointed hotel with excellent facilities and even better potential. Have a read of a history of this place, so interesting! Mad to think it was once the tallest building in all of Cambodia and now would not even make the top 100 of tall buildings in Sihanoukville! Great view from the rooms, decent breakfast. Beautiful beach pool, with an excellent sunset.

So much potential and I am sure much is out of the hands of the current management, but the fact that black, smelly inky, possibly sewage water is pumped 24/7 into the sea and indeed the hotel private beach from the hotel grounds has something to do with the legacy of the construction of the hotel. However this can not continue because it is gross, off putting and just completely out of keeping with the rest of the place, which clearlt Dara have done much to improve and should be commended for!

given all new Chinese hotels on the beach, Independence hotel is an oasis on the beach excellent infinite swimming pool great breakfast hotel located in huge garden Khmer eateries walking distance from the hotel

an river bringing dirt to the sand beach of the hotel but if you want to swim in the sea close to the swimming pool then no issue - very clean water

Spa and gym were great. Recommend the massages. Breakfast was one of the best we’ve had. So much choice. Dinner was delicious. Lovely staff

Could do with some maintenance as looking a bit tired in places. Pool especially needs work doing, pictures online are definitely old. That being said it didn’t stop us using and enjoying it

Beautiful large well appointed rooms. I booked 4 rooms in total and the hotel was able to keep all the family in rooms close to each others. The staff were amazing and very helpful. The breakfast was one of the best I have experienced in Hotel stays . I highly recommend you stay here.

beautiful location, large grounds and amazing ocean infinity pool. The villas are beautiful and there were not many guests so staff were extremely attentive and helpful. We enjoyed the complementary buggy service that drove us to a delicious buffet breakfast each morning

the property is under repair, so there is some maintenance work ongoing but has huge potential when the repairs are complete

Location is good and the access to beach is excellent.

Breakfast was average. More varieties need to be added to cater to tourists especially from India and other South Asian countries. The same is applicable to the restaurant. There was hardly any variety on offer.
