NEW Guesthouse budget accommodations



Phnom Penh Guesthouse

 We have been toying with the idea of setting up a guesthouse or a budget accommodation and a friend of mine just opened a new guesthouse in Phnom Penh the Velkommen Guesthouse on street 144 really close to the river and the palace and the Big market which is Psaa Thmey and all of the fun stuff to do in Phnom Penh Cambodia.

So he put me up here and we are brain storming the different things that are important too guest comfort and also important to bottom line profit you see there is a win win here if you can make a comfortable room and keep the cost of operation of the accommodation cheap you do not have to charge more to the customer for the same amenities list.

One of the biggest issues in Asia is going to be the electric bill if you can keep that down you can discount rooms and still make a good profit but if your rooms are wasting allot of energy through improper maintenance then you are just burning cash and customers!

The first issue is buy the best air con unit that you can by that what is the most economical to run as a air con will be in the room for 10 years you can count on the fact that the price of electric is going to go up during that time so it makes a lot of sense to pay extra as much as it hurts to get the most economical unit that you can Eco Friendly is economy friendly as well.
