The location of this property was fantastic, making it easy to explore the area. However, the cleanliness, staff service, and facilities were just average. The room had a small amount of mold on the grip holding the shower, but it wasn't enough to be too unpleasant—just keep the fan on to air out the room. As for the staff, the man was friendly and approachable, but the woman seemed to ignore us when we greeted her, which was a bit odd.
Despite these shortcomings, the accommodation is decent for those who prioritize location over other amenities. It provides a comfortable enough stay for a short visit, but don’t expect anything above average in terms of cleanliness or customer service.
One highlight of the trip was the two tours we did with Jason from "Jason's Countryside Experience Tour". I highly recommend it! Jason is incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Kapot, sharing fascinating details about local myths, where to eat, how people lived in the past and present, and how the Khmer Rouge played a role in shaping the region. He even gave me a podcast to listen to that helped me better understand the origins of the Khmer Rouge. Be sure to check him out online through his website!
Very good location but don't have your clothes at home he doesn't take into consideration what you say, I asked them to be careful I find myself with white clothes turned red/pink
Cold aircon, good fan, comfortable bed. What else do you need? Room was clean, bathroom could have been cleaner but it wasn't bad. It's in a good spot near the river and a short walk to the markets if you're into that.
Good scooters to hire, and the staff are helpful. We have booked a bus/ferry to koh rong from the hotel for a decent price (we thought we where going to have to bus back to phnom penh and double back to Sville) so this has saved alot of mucking about.
They also bus to other places (even HCMC) for a good price.
We stayed here for 3 nights, the room was very spacious, clean and Aircon worked really well. We had our own balcony with chairs and space to dry our clothes/towels. The staff here were really friendly, it seems to be run by a family and they give their full attention. Also hired a scooter for the day for $5 to take us into bokor national park, scooter was well maintained, the owner even let me borrow one in the morning to grab some tickets from the train station free of charge. Only 10 min walk from the centre. Would recommend
Host was really friendly and changed our room straight away after check-in as there was a leak, as well as giving advice on stuff in town. Decent location, only 10 minute walk away from the centre where bars and restaurants are, but still quiet in the evenings. Room was a decentnsize, bed was comfortable and shower was okay too. Room, particularly the bathroom could have been cleaner.
