Phnom Penh Hotels With Bike Rental
11 family-friendly hotels with bike rental in Phnom Penh . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Eleven hotels in Phnom Penh keep bicycles on hand for guests, which turns out to be one of the better ways to see Daun Penh with a school-age child: flat streets, a riverside path along Sisowath Quay, and short distances between the Royal Palace, the National Museum and Wat Phnom. The Pavilion offers complimentary bicycles as a standard amenity, while Duong Chan Hotel and Caravan Hotel by EHM keep rentals available through the front desk. The honest limit: Phnom Penh traffic is heavy on main roads, so bike time works best on the riverside promenade and quieter Daun Penh backstreets, not the boulevards.
Phnom Penh's old quarter was laid out on a human scale long before the traffic grew heavy, with the riverside promenade specifically built for walking and cycling rather than cars. Locals still cycle along Sisowath Quay in the early morning before the heat sets in, past fishing boats and the occasional monk on his own bicycle, which makes hotel bike rental here feel less like a tourist add-on and more like joining how the city actually moves at that hour.

🚲Why Phnom Penh is Great for Hotels with Bike Rental
For daily logistics, the riverside promenade is the obvious route: flat, mostly car-free, and running past the Royal Palace, past food stalls, and toward Wat Phnom, roughly a 20-minute ride end to end at a child's pace. The Pavilion's free bicycles make this an easy add-on to a pool morning, while Lavanya Boutique Hotel's rental option suits a family staying further from the river who wants to cycle down rather than tuk-tuk. Both hotels keep the bikes at the front desk, so there is no separate booking step beyond asking at check-in.
By age, the flat riverside path suits children from about age 7 who can manage a bike independently, while younger children are better off in a rented child seat or trailer, which is not standard at every hotel, so ask in advance. Teenagers get more out of a longer ride toward Aeon Mall or the areas near Vattanac Capital, where wider, newer streets make for easier cycling than Daun Penh's older lanes, and the distance gives an older child a genuine sense of covering ground under their own power rather than being driven everywhere by tuk-tuk.
On value, hotel bike rental in Phnom Penh is typically free or a few dollars a day, cheaper than a half-day tuk-tuk hire and far cheaper than a private tour. Smile Boutique Hotel by EHM and Plantation Urban Resort & Spa both keep bikes available through the front desk at no separate charge for guests, making an early ride part of the room rate rather than an added activity cost, which adds up over a stay of several days spent partly exploring by bike instead of paying for transport each time.
Parent's take
We took the free bikes from The Pavilion out just after six, before the heat and before the tuk-tuk drivers were fully awake, and rode the empty riverside path past fishermen packing up nets near the Tonle Sap. My nine-year-old kept stopping to watch the boats, and we were back for breakfast by seven-thirty, having covered more of the riverfront than we managed on foot in two afternoons.
Our Top 11 Picks
Hotels in Phnom Penh with bike rental, sorted by guest rating.
Raffles Hotel Le Royal
Phnom Penh
Wonderful
636 reviews
This 5-star heritage hotel offers an outdoor lap pool, kids' club, spa and private balconies with pool or garden views. Two dining rooms cover modern French and Khmer dishes, and a business centre serves guests needing meeting space during the stay.
Why families love Raffles Hotel Le Royal
Families staying here will find the kids' club and pool combination genuinely useful for a couple wanting a splurge night, with two restaurants covering a family dinner without leaving the property. The old-world grandeur suits a special-occasion stay more than a quick weekend, and the 60-minute drive from Techo International Airport is worth planning around.
The Pavilion
Phnom Penh
Wonderful
2,029 reviews
This adult-only heritage hotel in central Phnom Penh offers both outdoor and shaded pools, free bicycles and in-house spa facilities. Rooms feature mosquito netting and a fan option alongside air conditioning, and two poolside bar-restaurants serve guests through the day.
Why families love The Pavilion
This property is adults-only, so despite the shaded pool and free bicycles, it does not work for a family trip with children. Parents on a couples' getaway without kids, however, will find the heritage architecture and the shaded pool option genuinely restful during Phnom Penh's hottest hours.
Duong Chan Hotel
Phnom Penh
Wonderful
702 reviews
A rooftop swimming pool, spa and sauna sit alongside a fitness centre and outdoor fireplace at this 4-star hotel. Family rooms include a work desk, minibar and free WiFi, and the restaurant serves Asian and European cuisine with halal, vegetarian and vegan options.
Why families love Duong Chan Hotel
Families staying here will find the rooftop pool and spa combination hard to beat for the price, useful for alternating pool time with a parent's massage. The restaurant's halal and vegan options cover a wide range of dietary needs, and the 18-minute walk to Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum keeps that visit manageable.
Plantation Urban Resort & Spa
Phnom Penh
Wonderful

Why families love Plantation Urban Resort & Spa
Families staying here will find the two-pool setup and kids' club a strong combination for a longer stay, letting children rotate pools while a parent books the spa. The location directly behind the Royal Palace is hard to beat, and the 10-minute walk to the riverfront makes evenings easy without a tuk-tuk.
Penh House Hotel
Phnom Penh
Wonderful
1,403 reviews
This 4-star hotel offers a rooftop pool, spa and lush garden alongside a fitness centre and sun terrace, 700 metres from the Royal Palace. Rooms include air conditioning, balconies and soundproofing, and the restaurant serves French, Cambodian and European cuisine.
Why families love Penh House Hotel
Families staying here will find the soundproofed rooms genuinely useful for protecting a young child's nap, a detail few hotels on this list mention. The rooftop pool and garden give a quiet retreat close to the Royal Palace, though family-specific rooms are not listed here, so confirm bed configuration directly.
Palace Gate Hotel & Resort by EHM
Phnom Penh
Wonderful
1,201 reviews
Set in a restored French colonial villa directly adjacent to the Royal Palace, this 5-star hotel offers an outdoor pool, rooftop bar and Tonle Sap River views. Family rooms feature bidets, bathrobes and free toiletries, and a kids' club and fitness centre round out the family amenities.
Why families love Palace Gate Hotel & Resort by EHM
Families staying here will find the kids' club and pool a strong combination steps from the Royal Palace itself, letting one parent take a treatment or river view while the other supervises. The colonial villa setting adds genuine character, though the five-star rate positions this above the budget end of this list.
Caravan Hotel by EHM
Phnom Penh
Wonderful
1,304 reviews
This 4-star hotel runs a rooftop pool, spa and kids' club alongside a fitness centre and sun terrace. Family rooms include a work desk and minibar, and the restaurant serves French, Thai and Cambodian cuisine with a buffet breakfast, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options.
Why families love Caravan Hotel by EHM
Families staying here will find the kids' club paired with a rooftop pool a strong combination for a full day, especially with the National Museum roughly 1.8 kilometres away for the parent taking a break. The massage and yoga add-ons give a genuine parent's reset, though check kids' club hours directly since none are published.
Aquarius Hotel and Urban Resort
Phnom Penh
Wonderful
2,202 reviews
An outdoor saltwater infinity pool anchors this 4-star hotel 700 metres from the Tonle Sap River and 300 metres from the Royal Palace. Air-conditioned rooms include a minibar, electric kettle and desk. An in-house art gallery and internet cafe with computer terminals add a quiet indoor option beyond the pool.
Why families love Aquarius Hotel and Urban Resort
Families staying here will find the saltwater infinity pool a genuine highlight, and the walk to the Royal Palace and National Museum, both under a kilometre, keeps sightseeing simple. The art gallery and internet cafe corner give an older child something to do on a rest afternoon, though rooms lean contemporary rather than family-spacious.
GLOW PARK HOTEL Grand Royal Palace
Phnom Penh
Wonderful
2,973 reviews
A rooftop swimming pool tops this 4-star hotel just 700 metres from the Royal Palace, with a five-minute walk to Chaktomouk Hall. Family rooms come with air conditioning and free WiFi, and the restaurant covers Chinese, Thai and Cambodian dishes with vegetarian options. Bicycle parking is available for exploring the riverside on two wheels.
Why families love GLOW PARK HOTEL Grand Royal Palace
Families staying here will find the rooftop pool the main draw, close enough to the Royal Palace that sightseeing does not eat the whole morning. The family rooms are straightforward rather than spacious, so this suits a couple with one child better than a larger group. The multi-cuisine restaurant, with vegetarian options, helps with picky eaters.
Smile Boutique Hotel by EHM
Phnom Penh
Wonderful
217 reviews
This 4-star hotel offers a pool with a view, sun terrace, lush garden and indoor play area, all in central Daun Penh. Family rooms include air conditioning, and the restaurant serves American, Thai, Vietnamese and Cambodian cuisine alongside bicycle parking for guests.
Why families love Smile Boutique Hotel by EHM
Families staying here will find the indoor play area a genuine standout, one of the few on this list, giving young children an option beyond the pool on a hot or rainy afternoon. The garden terrace adds a second outdoor space, and the varied menu helps with fussier eaters across four cuisines.
Lavanya Boutique Hotel
Phnom Penh
Excellent
87 reviews
This 4-star boutique hotel offers a rooftop pool and bicycle rental a 16-minute walk from Riverside Park. Air-conditioned rooms include balconies with city views and a work desk, and the on-site restaurant serves American and Asian cuisine alongside a bar.
Why families love Lavanya Boutique Hotel
Families staying here will find the rooftop pool a solid reset after a bike ride along the riverside, and the balcony rooms give young children a view without leaving the room. This hotel sits a bit further from the Royal Palace than most on this list, so factor in the walk or a short tuk-tuk.
💡Tips for Choosing a Hotel with Bike Rental in Phnom Penh
- 1Ride early morning or after 4pm; midday heat and traffic both make cycling harder between 11am and 3pm.
- 2Stick to the riverside promenade and Daun Penh's smaller streets rather than main boulevards, which carry heavy motorbike and tuk-tuk traffic.
- 3Ask about child seats or trailers when booking; most hotels rent adult-sized bikes only.
- 4Carry water. There is little shade along the riverside path once the sun is fully up.
- 5Confirm whether the bike rental is included or paid before assuming it is free; policies differ hotel to hotel.
