The front desk operates 24 hours a day and can arrange tours, bus tickets, and tuk tuk pickup from the bus station. Complimentary breakfast (toast, fruit, and tea) is included, while air conditioning is available at an additional cost per night. Late check-out can be arranged directly with the front desk.
Very chill, nice and clean. Friendly and attentive staff, good food, so lovely! Great value for the price. Clean pool 10/10, cold mini fridge, comfey bed, cute dogs, the incense on the altar shrine had me feeling at home every time I returned from adventures. We were able to buy tickets for the circus and bus tickets at the front desk, with hotel pickup! The scooter we rented for a day was only $10 USD, smooth ride, in good condition, it even had a phone holder. We felt safe here, walking through neighborhood at night was alright too.
I dont understand why people moan so much! You cant pay a lower price and expect a 5 star service
The hotel is good. Rooms are big and clean
Aircon costs an extra $5 per night and that is reasonable
Breakfast is basci, but it is ok. Toast, fruit and tea
The location is down the back roads, but it is totally SAFE. Just a normal road here, but yes no lights (as is standard in Cambodia)
I get frustrated by reviews from people who complain about service. The service is fine. If you are polite to them, they are polite to you.
I asked for a late checkout and offered to pay and they were happy to extend my checkout till 2pm for $5
Total cost for one night, including air con, late check out and breakfast was $25.
Best part is they accept pets. I was travelling with my two dogs and they were happy to accept them as the hotel already has their own dogs roaming around
Overall a great hotel for the price
We absolutely loved our stay here. The staff, food and facilities were lovely. The only problem we had is that we had to pay for our AC which was more than the room itself and we had ants and bed bugs in our room, which didn’t really bother us much. We let the front desk know so I doubt this is a problem anymore as the staff were extremely accommodating.
Would definitely recommend the Battambang tour which is displayed on the front desk!
We enjoyed our stay here, the rooms were always clean and tidy so was the pool area, bar and restaurant, which served up some good food!
Although the place isn’t a far walk from other bars and restaurants, it’s down a dark road so you may feel a tuk tuk/ bike is necessary to get around on.
