Shinta Mani Hotel Siem Reap Reviews

Shinta Mani Guest Rating: 4.5

Internet access (free) was in keeping with the city - slow and relaxed.

• Travel tip : Use the tuk-tuk drivers that wait in front of the hotel for temple visits and excursions. It is a pleasant and fun way to travel.

Excellent breakfast and spa Guest Rating: 4.3

Can add more selection to minibar.

• Hotel Feature Tip : You can take up the full-day spa package and it costs around USD 100.

Shinta Mani a fabulous experience Guest Rating: 5.0

In a town full of big "luxury" hotels that seem totally out of place, this is a small gem of a boutique hotel. Thanks Agoda for helping us find it!

• Travel tip : Ask the hotel to set up a trip to Angkor either by tuk tuk or preferably a car and guide. Eat at Aha near the old market-great Cambodian tapas.

Wonderful safe haven to recharge! Guest Rating: 5.0

Hotel is in a wonderful location: nearby to the Pub Street action, but far enough away to give the action a break!

Shinta Mani stay Guest Rating: 3.3

I would only return to this hotel a second time if they upgraded their bathroom

• Shopping Tip : - great bargains for men's shirts at Central Market - things at Night Market are nice but slightly on expensive side. Only buy from there if you cant otherwise find it in the stores nearby Old Market or Central Market

Shinta Mani - Wonderful Stay Guest Rating: 4.5

While at the hotel, they hosted a Khymer dance show conducted by local children from an orphanage. I very much enjoyed the performance and only wish I had been able to talk with the children afterwards.

• Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : There are very friendly tuk tuk taxi drivers just outside the hotel entrance which I felt was the best way to visit the ruins.

A taste of colonial life in SE Asia. Guest Rating: 4.2

We really liked this hotel, but we did not like the food they served us. We had a Cambodian buffet, and it wasn't very tasty, but the dance show that we had at dinner was great and made up for it. The other days, we ate in town and the food (of all varieties) in town was cheap and delicious. Also, Siam Reap is very international, in terms of the travelers that go there. We really enjoyed that.

• Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Don't take the tour of the Angkor Wat complex with the hotel - your taxi driver from the airport will most likely offer to take you for $25. That is a good deal, and highly recommended.

Shinta Mani Hotel--Heaven on Earth Guest Rating: 4.7

Would recommend highly and particularly liked the hotels initiative to encourage helping the very poor rather than tipping the staff. We were taken to a village for the afternoon which was a real eye-opener. We decided to donate a well which cost 100 US dollars. This included the cost of drilling and construction. "well" worth it for something so important.

• Restaurant Tip : FCC (Foreign Correspondents Club) was very nice to sit outside in the evening and was only five minutes walk.
