Siem Reap Central Area hotels & places to stay

Okay, so it's not the best hotel in Siem Reap, but it is fantastic value for money, especially for short stays. There is so much to see in Siem Reap, you don't need all the facilities that the big hotels / resorts provide. It is close to the markets and Pub Street. It does have a pool, free wi-fi in all areas, a room safe, and all the facilities necessary. It doesn't have car parking, child minding and all those extra trimmings. The staff were fantastic and helpful. I wish that we had stayed our full 4 nights here rather than moving to a resort after 1 night and saved heaps to be able to spend more on the fantastic food around the city. The beds are very firm / hard, but this seems to be normal in SE Asia. Our room had a balcony and we were entertained watching the streetscape below and trying to figure out the local road rules. Would definitely stay here again as the value for money is fantastic.

We were so happy we picked this hotel that highlighted our Siem Reap trip! Staff - can arrange airport pick up, explained the sight seeing route in detail, arranged full day tuk tuk transportation for visiting the temples (all price listed, no need to bargain for price). The driver they contacted was nice, speak good English, caring, and punctual. We were in a hurry to catch a bus without lunch, they arranged snacks for us unexpectedly, very detail minded! Every staff were so polite and cheerful! Room - spacious, clean, well decorated. Facilities - clean swimming pool, apple computer installed, nice massage room with air conditioned. (many massage shop don't have air conditioned in Siem Reap) Location - just 5 minutes from the pub street and night market, many nice restaurant nearby (Cambodian BBQ/Soup Dragon/Red Piano..) We must stay in this hotel again when come back to Siem Reap!

We had spent 6 days in Siem Reap exploring Angkor Wat and surrounding area with 3 older kids age 11-12. We stayed in 2 bedrooms unit which was very spacious and clean. We were welcome since arriving till leaving. Ellie (guest relation manager) and all the staffs are very friendly and helpful. We arranged all our tour thru the hotel. Their drivers and tuk tuk drivers are very good and friendly. Ellie's recommendations for the tour, bike tour, and activities were excellent. The breakfast spread were plenty and well spread. We would highly recommend anyone to stay at this hotel and if we are going back, we will surely revisit the hotel again. Thank you for making our holiday in Siem Reap a wonderful experience.

Overall my friend and I both enjoy our stay during our time spent in siem reap. Upon reaching the airport, the shuttle bus which I had arrange was already waiting outside the airport. When reaching the hotel the staff smiled and greeted us as we walk in. We were told to wait at the welcome lounge as they help us with our check in. A welcome dessert and drinks are served to us. Staff Nana led us to our room and showed us around the hotel. She had also recommend places for us to visit that evening as we had reach Siem Reap about 4.30pm and most area of attraction had close. We had decided to book the hotel tuk tuk the next day to visit the temple. One of the guy staff (could not rem his name think start with mo*****??) at the hospitality desk was also friendly and patient as he answered our question. Our tuk tuk driver (could not rem his name) waited for us throughout the temple visit. The breakfast buffet was tasty and there is a variety of food. After each journey back to the hotel there will always be a staff serving as cold towel to freshen us up. During the last day, we had book a MEKONG bus from siem reap to phnom penh at 8.30am earlier in sg, my friend and I are both worried as it is 8am and the bus had not reach. The same guy staff (could not rem his name think start with mo*****??) who attended to us on the first day at the hospitality desk smiled and approached us. He reassured and help us to check with the MEKONG bus arrival. When the bus has arrive he approach us and inform us that the bus had arrive. We had a pleasant stay throughout, the staff including the tuk tuk driver are able to speak English therefore we had no problem telling them where we wanted to go.

We only stayed for four nights but it was by far the best hotel of our holiday. The room was spacious and clean, with a good sized balcony overlooking the lush green tropical plants between our room and the pool (salt water). Each night at around 7 the chamber maids would ask to turn down the bed and left gifts on our pillows each time. We treated ourselves to a massage in the hotel spa which was also excellent, albeit a tad spendy for Cambodia, mind you it is five star! The hotel staff were very friendly and polite throughout our stay. The hotels sits facing the central park and is 15 minutes by private car to the Angkor Temples, 15-20 to the airport and only 3 by tuk-tuk to Pub Street. This is by far the best hotel in Siem Reap and is well worth that little extra. Very very well recommended!

There are so many hotels in Siem Reap to choose from but for the price I think this hotel offers real value for money. It's the location which is the real appeal as you are about 5 mins walk away from Pub Street but still far enough away so that you don't get disturbed by outside noise. The hotel is part of one big block where at the front (near the main road) is the older Somadevi resort and at the back you have the two hotels Somadevi Residence and the Somadevi Angkor Boutique & Resort. Hence, as this hotel is at the back away from the main road (shopping street) it is a bit quieter. However, the hotel is in Siem Reap central so don't expect big grounds as it's part of a main block and so surrounded by shops. If you want something big and secluded there are plenty of these types of hotels on the highway (airport to Siem Reap) but then to get around you will constantly need a Tuk Tuk. I would recommend sacrificing on the star rating for location unless you plan to spend a lot of tme at the hotel. This hotel was perfect for our needs as we prefer to walk around. Service The staff are extremely friendly and polite. You are greeted with a smile and nice touches such as opening doors and generally asking you how your stay is, anything you need, etc. It's a very clean hotel and no complaints with the room service/cleaners. The shuttle service to and from the airport is a proper car and not a Tuk Tuk. Room Very clean room. Comfortable bed. Free WiFi in the room. Quite a big room with plenty of space. The shower had very little pressure but it doesn't matter because you can switch to the rain shower which is much better and then pressure is not an issue. Bathroom is very big, modern and clean. There was a private balcony but we didn't use this. It's a city hotel so don't expect great views. Food Only had breakfact once which was very good but other than that can't really comment. Also, had a drink at the bar one night. Good cocktails and again good service. There is

My husband and I recently stayed at J7 while in Siem Reap for our honeymoon. We had been, dare I say mislead by some hotel pictures in the past early on in our trip with hotels in Thailand so we weren’t sure what we were getting. J7 not only lives up to their stunning photos but it’s actually better! The hotel is beautiful with well appointed rooms, great restaurants, beautiful pool but the real stand out element is the staff! Every employee we encountered went above and beyond to provide the most stellar customer service! I can’t say enough good things about our experience! We absolutely loved our tuktuk driver Mr. Surat, if you can ask for him by name. He’s absolutely lovely and charges fair prices. We wish the staff at J7 a heartfelt thank you for making our honeymoon truly unforgettable!

Unbelievable....!! If you have any desire to visit Siem Reap, you need look no further than Jaya House as your place to stay! This hotel puts the "SERVICE" back in in service. There are few times when staying at a hotel can give you a feeling of win (for you), win (for the hotel owner), and win (for the hotel employees), but Jaya House delivers on this and more. The service is unsurpassed - from the pick-up at the airport, to the cool, jasmine scented towels awaiting you upon your return to the hotel after a long day touring the city, to the staff who are always willing and anxious to assist you with even the smallest detail, to the hotel philosophy of trying to leave as little impact on the environment as possible, to the amazingly delicious food that is grown by the hotel itself and served in tremendous abundance. You have a choice of where to spend your money for hotels in Siem Reap - spend it at Jaya House!

Great Hotel in Siem Reap. Location was great for us, way from the noise of the city centre and close enough to cycle there or to get a cheap tuk tuk. It was also on the road to the temples. The hotel decor and environment was great, relaxing and had a very beautiful pool area ideal to relax after a long a day exploring. The room was great, ideal size with a nice balcony, all the amenities needed and beautifully decorated. The services like laundry were cheap and quick. We also booked the tour to the temple through the hotel for 1 day temple visit for about $22 plus access pass and that went really well! The hotel also offers bicycles which is a great add, we used them to explore the city and was a beautiful stroll. Is quite easy to get to center cycling Breakfast was really good as well! We had lunch once in the hotel and we were very pleased. Regarding the staff, everyone was really kind and welcoming! Miss Rose and everyone from reception, breakfast etc ( can’t remember the names) were really nice, always smiling and ready to help! Great experience, highly recommend it

I have stayed there many times as well as in other hotels in Siem Reap. I can comment that it is the best hotel and I feel so good staying there. Everything is good including the food and service. They never fail to pick me up from the airport punctually and always there to help me with my luggages. I definitely would go back and stayed there whenever I am in Siem Reap

Our stay at Golden Temple Boutique went above and beyond our expectations. We travel frequently and this is by far some of the best service we have received anywhere in the world. My husband told them it was my birthday when we checked in, and later that day when we went out for dinner they decorated our room with over thirty balloons, put rose petals over the bed spelling "Happy Birthday [my name ]!" and brought in a birthday cake with five staff while singing happy birthday. Beyond the special birthday treatment, they took extra care to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The hotel itself is small but quite lovely, expecially the pool and restaurant areas. The bathrooms are superb and perfect for relaxing after a hot/humid day exploring Siem Reap. We stayed in a second resort in Siem Reap that had higher ratings, but we still preferred the Golden Temple Boutique in most areas.

Arrived siem reap with a free airport pick up. The driver was so nice to offer me a bottle of cold water and wet tissue for refreshment. Arrived at the hotel and they offer you a welcome drink too! The room was so nice,clean and huge for just me but i like it. Even a balcony! Which is really good for me coz i smoke. Breakfast is simply but good. If they can increase the choices would be great. Transportation is not a problem coz just right outside the hotel there are a lot of tuk tuk. I took the tuk tuk every time. From the hotel to pub street is around 5mins. if you prefer to walk it will be around 15-20mins. It's not really that far and easy to go. 1 thing to improve is the bathroom i stayed in, which is on the ground floor, it has a separate toilet, separate bath tub, separate shower room (Which is really awesome!!). If they can fix the drainage of the water. Coz for 2 days i showered, the water always over flows and when i'm out of the shower room the water almost reach the bedroom already. Overall, my stay was pleasant. Staffs are polite and helpful. Room is clean and pretty! When i go back to Siem Reap I will definitely stay in Damrei again.

This is a superb hotel. Small and Friendly with great staff. Our room was lovely and everything worked fine and the place was spotless. The hotel is near a road which although not a main road runs along the river. There is some road noise but this is inevitable giving it's location and no different from anywhere else in Siem Reap. It did not distract from our stay at all. We booked a car and driver and a guide for two consecutive days and it was the best money we ever spent. Not only was the guide knowledgeable but we got to see the temples when most people weren't there! At some temples it felt like we where the only ones there! This allowed us to get some great photos although we didn't bother to get up for sunrise (which can be hit and miss). TIP: When you go to lunch, take the driver and guide with you. Although you'll have to pay for their meal the advice and interesting stories are well worth it! The guide was suprised when we offered for them to eat with us which I thought strange (only 1 in 20 people do apparently) and they miss out on a great deal of extra information. Cold bottled water was plentiful in the car and the air conditioning much appreciated although only 32 degrees. The food in the Hotel was superb and my only regret was not eating there more often but I always for some reason tend to head out into town which is a 5-10 min walk or a $1 tuk tuk ride. In all a great four days and I would return in a flash. Remember however to tip locals as there basic wages are very low. A dollar here or there is well received. Take US dollars in smallish bills $20 or less. There is a supermarket just around the corner if you need anything. WiFi works but don't expect to download a movie in HD. Buying a Smart Sim for $10 at the airport gives you 4G in nearly all places and 3G elsewhere. We also had a complimentary meal which I though would be a bit lack lustre but turned out to be one the best we had whilst we where there.

Our first visit to Cambodia was made even more special by the amazing staff at King Rock Boutique Hotel in Siem Reap. The rooms are spacious and very clean. The bathtub is absolutely amazing! The lovely swimming pool is a necessity especially after a day exploring the temples. The hotel is located about ten minutes walk from the main strip (Pub Street) and markets. There are two convenience stores within a stone's throw away, restaurants too (and wow, the food is amazing, whether Asian or Western). We were impressed by the helpfulness and kindness of the staff at King Rock and the attention to detail they gave us, especially with the children. For breakfast, they serve a la carte when there are not many guests and buffet style when they're busy. We arrived when it was a bit quiet and my eldest daughter (she's 6) loved the chicken noodle soup for breakfast which they always prepared for her. Midway through our stay, it got really busy so they switched to buffet breakfasts. But, alas! No chicken noodle soup! My daughter was disappointed but was happy to eat the pastries instead. A few minutes into our breakfast, the staff came bearing a bowl of chicken noodle soup on a tray especially for my girl! And they did this for us every morning without fail. Special thanks to Mr. Witchit, Mr. Bonat, Miss Nich and to the chef who made our breakfast every day, I forget his name, for your kindness and your helpfulness. This boutique hotel will be on our favourites list! And we hope to come back again one day soon!

I've passed many hotels whilst on the tuk tuk and I have to say, I've chosen the best hotel in siem reap! The others are on the main road, lack that Cambodian architecture etc. The Model Resort was just perfect, it was far from the busy roads but near enough should you wish to go out. The architectural layout of the hotel was stunning, it had a koi pond surrounding the lower level. They offered many free things like a one time only free set meal (however i feel that it was quite small, so if you're famished you won't be satisfied) free bike and tuk tuk once a day etc and discounts on massages etc, The staff were very nice, very welcoming and always smiling. Book this hotel, it offers luxury and comfort with reasonable price. Definitely worth your money.

the privilege floor in borei angkor hotel & spa is wonderful accommodation for guests. i got really great impression from the concierge service. for 3days staying in the hotel, the mini-bar was fully recharged and private car was arranged at anytime i want to go out. all the service was not charged additionally. they were included to hotel fee when i booked. when i saw the sunset on my balcony, i couldn't say anything and just felt in love. strongly recommend you and your family to stay the hotel in siem reap.

This is an old but well kept hotel, with traditional khmer style of furnitures. It may be a bit eerie but it sets the mood as well for immersing yourselves in the cambodian culture, as they are keen on wood carvings and the like. We booked for 2 nights and adjusted our schedule to have a quick trip to phnom penh. They let us stay there while waiting for the bus to phnom penh and were very gracious in helping us plan our tours even with phnom penh. They allowed us to leave our bags in the hotel for 2 days as our flight back home leaves from siem reap. even though we already checked out 2 days before, when we returned to siem reap, they still helped us with our bookings for the sunset tour and held onto our bags so that we can roam siem reap freely before we left that night. They even allowed us to use the shower room at the gym, including the sauna if we wished to have a quick shower to freshen up before our flight. We also got a massage worth 10usd and i think thats a reasonable price. Its about 3 mins away from pub street and night market which is good since it was peaceful and we were not in a very crowded location, but still with easy access to all the places we wanted to visit. Also near the airport but the hotel can also offer to take you there. Pick up from the airport was very prompt and on time. I emailed them as i forgot to include details of our flight when i booked, and they responded immediately. Im really happy with this hotel.

i have read some previous feedback reg. poor rooms and outdated facilities. But our room now was excellent, always enjoyed getting back to the hotel after a day tour or strolling at the town. The pool is great and spacious. The staff is very accommodating, feels like being at home away from home. the great buffet breakfast has something for most tastes and cultures. Some complain about the location, but I don't see why. It is centrally located near the Royal Independence Gardens, that is a beautiful park. Pub Street and Night Market is within 15 min walking distance along the beautiful river or take a tuk tuk for 1-2 $. Restaurants and malls are also within 5-10 min walking. The tuk tuk drivers outside the hotel are accommodating and easy to go with. Only the spa is in need of a fresh-up and so also the spa staff. We really enjoyed our long (11 nights) stay here and wouldn't doubt to use this hotel again, if ever in Siem Reap again.

If you want to soak up the colonial ambience of Siem Reap the Raffles Grand Hotel is the place for you. The hotel is surrounded by gardens and away from the hustle and bustle of town. However the 10 - 15 minute walk along the river bank adjacent to the hotel is a pleasant way to get to Pub Street for a night out. The hotel bars and restaurants have catered to the likes of Jacqueline Kennedy, Charlie Chaplin and Somerset Maugham. The wooden floors, high ceilings, fans and period decor harken back to the colonial days in Cambodia. You can enjoy cocktails in the lower ground Elephant bar, looking out over the pool from the Conservatory or sitting beside the pool at the Apsara terrace. The pool is 35 metres in length and surrounded by flowering frangipani trees and fragrant flower beds. We even saw one of the hotel's chefs picking herbs and flowers for dinner. It is definitely a spot to recharge from the exertion of touring temples. Unfortunately ambience comes with a price and dining at the hotel can eat away at your budget. It is definitely worth booking a room rate that includes breakfast and taking advantage of the sumptuous buffet with bubbly included. For other meals you are probably better off going into town and enjoying the cheaper local and international fare available there. The Apsara dance evening is expensive and the dancers and food lacked quality. Given advance warning we would have skipped this event at the hotel and looked for a cheaper option elsewhere. We thoroughly enjoyed the hotel because we wanted to immerse ourselves in the history of Cambodia and the Raffles Grand Hotel offers another way to experience Cambodia's past. The staff were attentive to our every need. The service was flawless. The rooms were comfortable. With some schedule planning to avoid mealtimes at the hotel, it is possible to have the perfect stay for enjoying Siem Reap and the Angkor temple complex.

The hotel staffs were very nice and so friendly, they provided a very warm atmosphere for all guests. They really want their guests to have a wonderful experience both inside and outside the hotel. We still love and miss all of them! However, the room and some other facilities have some minor problems during our time there. We really appreciate that the hotel staffs were tried their best to solve it as much as they can but the facilities could be a little bit better. All the best for the further customers, I would like to recommend you to stay here. I will stay here again if I go back to Siem Reap in the future.

This hotel felt like paradise, and a good thing too because we all got sick, including our young son, so we spent almost our entire time in Siem Reap in our hotel room! I apparently didn't pay attention to any rules or conditions that said that the hotel doesn't allow small children before I booked. However, they were kind enough to let us stay with our 2 year old son anyway. We thought the staff were amazing, the food was great, and if our son had been feeling better he would have been all over the little shaded walkways, hanging plants and beautiful water features. For that matter, if we had been feeling better we would have been a bit more all over them too! We took a few short walks into town and appreciated how close the hotel is to everything, while still being on a quiet side street. As long as they let us return with our son, there is no reason for us to ever stay anywhere else when we visit Siem Reap!

We took a bus from Phnom Penh to seim reap and on arrival a run run was there to meet us and take us to the hotel. Upon arrival at the hotel we were treated like royalty, fantastic check in, welcome drink, cold towels then escorted to our room which was so good. The staff here go out of their way to welcome you and make you comfortable. Short ride by tuk tuk to downtown is free between 5 and 7 pm otherwise $2 each way. Great time in siem reap and the hotel staff made it very special. We will return to siem reap and will stay at this hotel, the staff helpfulness really made our stay special.

We arrived rather early in the morning at the hotel, due to hotel policy we are allowed to check in only at 2pm however the staffs immediately offered us a room to take shower and to refresh ourselves. The room wasn't just a normal lousy room, it was one of the legit hotel rooms and we were offered to use it to shower and also the towels and hair dryer available. (Crazy i know) The staff also took a map out and talked to us about Siem Reap and explained a little about where we should be visiting and what not which was really thoughtful. They have the nicest tub i like the semi outdoor ish vibe and they gave us a room right next to the pool. Amazing view. They even gave us complimentary whatever that was in the fridge. The new owner is extremely friendly and offered to drop us off at a restaurant for dinner as it was raining. The location of the hotel is slightly secluded and you wont find tuk tuk outside but the hotel staff would ride one of the bikes out to get a tuk tuk for you and will tell the driver your destination (like how nice is that) I feel so at home and warm and very well taken care off. Tho this place is not a huge ass hotel but it is cosy enough for couples family and friends. Great location too. I really appreciate all the staffs in the hotel delivering an excellent 10 service and always ready to go above and beyond for you. If you're visiting Siem Reap, you must consider staying at this place. Ive never really cared to write a review post about a hotel and you know it takes a lot for me to sign up a TripAdvisor account just to leave them a review as well. From the bottom of my heart thank you for making my Siem Reap trip an absolutely beautiful one. :)

We were there for 3 nights, all the staff in the hotel were super helpful , I would say they have old style of hotel hospitality which you could not find and have those service in most of the hotel now. I love Sofitel Siem Reap so much , everything about this hotel just so great! We had best of best in the world Pad Thai for dinner, had nice massage in the spa, the assistant front office manager Bunsak is so professional and helpful, he made our trip in Siem Reap memorable! The location is great, 15mins by tuk tuk to the old market and pub street, we actually did not want stay a hotel just too near by old market and pub street as too noisy , so Sofitel Siem Reap is perfect location, relaxing and Nice.

Overall a great place to stay in. We were in Siem Reap for 6 days, and stayed in Regency Angkor through-out our stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful, like most people in Siem Reap. We enjoyed the pool very much(very clean, with a pool bar), and they had saunas and jacuzzis too(which we did not use). The rooms were comfortable with amenities you would expect from a 4 star hotel. It's located somewhat in between the Angkor temple complexes(?4-5km, 20mins by Tuk Tuk) and Siem Reap downtown(1-2km, 5-10mins by Tuk Tuk, 2 USD). Both places are easily accessible by Tuk Tuk for a reasonable price. Our only (very mild)dissatisfaction was with the Hotel Restaurant had a limited menu. (I'm Vegetarian and there weren't many choices for me. The wife also received a wrong order but they immediately changed to the right one when we told them without any fuss. We took most of our meals in restaurants outside in town so this one episode is probably an exception rather than the norm...) They had cakes and ice cream too which where good! Strongly recommended to stay here if you are planning to spend significant amount of time indoors with short trips to tourist sites...
