‘There are no limits on British nationals picking a quarantine hotel prior to their arrival in Cambodia,' according to the Ministry.

Incoming British nationals who travel to Cambodia now appear to have the option of staying in one of four officially approved Alternative State Quarantine (ASQ) Hotels rather than being taken to a hotel reserved for British nationals, as was previously the case.

In an official response to the Embassy of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in Phnom Penh, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of the Kingdom of Cambodia states that

 

‘with reference to the Embassy’s Note No. GB/MFA 68/21 dated 10 August 2021, has the honor to inform the Embassy that the Inter-Ministerial Committee to Combat COVID-19 has clarified that there have been no restrictions on British Nationals on choosing a quarantine hotel prior to their arrival in Cambodia.

 

The Ministry has further the honor to inform the Embassy that the launch of quarantine hotel reservation service for travelers entering Cambodia through Phnom Penh International Airport, as stipulated in the Press Release dated 22 July 2021 of the Inter-Ministerial Committee to Combat COVID-19 (as attached herewith), is applicable to all travelers who wish to use this service’

 

The ASQ system, which includes the Sokha Phnom Penh Hotel and Residence, the Courtyard by Marriott Phnom Penh, Raffles Hotel Le Royal Phnom Penh, and Sofitel Phnom Penh Phokeethra, was previously unavailable to British nationals.

 

They were instead directed to the OK Boutique Hotel on St. 174 in Phnom Penh.

 

It's unclear whether British citizens who don't choose one of the ASQ Hotels will still be transferred there.
