About Solar Hotel

Solar Hotel is a lodging property on BBU Rd in Krong Siem Reap, Cambodia. It combines guest rooms with a pool, a terrace where breakfast is served, a gym and a steam room, so there is somewhere to swim or train without leaving the grounds. Off-street parking is available, and reception handles bookings for tours and rides around the area.

Rooms are described as clean and generously sized, with the basics covered for a comfortable stay. Breakfast is a set menu, typically fruit, eggs and sausage or bacon, eaten by the pool. Housekeeping runs on a schedule suited to longer stays: guests booking by the month have their rooms cleaned twice a week.

The hotel sits close to the road but rooms stay quiet, which suits travellers who want to sleep well and still be within walking distance of the town centre. It works for sightseers using Siem Reap as a base, for anyone planning an extended stay,...

Place had average rooms. The pool was alright and the staff fairly friendly. Breakfast was pretty standard with fruit, eggs of some variety and sausage/bacon. Rooms were very quiet even though the place is quite close to the road. It is quite far from the main strip of town so you will have to walk quite a bit.

A wonderful, clean hotel a 15-minute walk from a popular, busy area. There's a pharmacy and small shops nearby. The room has everything you need, and the staff is very friendly. Breakfast is standard, served on the terrace by the pool. I really enjoyed it. It's cozy, quiet, and peaceful. I recommend it!

I’ve been very happy with my stay here. The staff is friendly and the hotel is clean. I booked for 30 days so room cleaning is twice a week. Plenty of places to eat. I bought a bicycle so getting use to traffic will take some time.

Amazing location, less than 10 minutes walk to the busy area. Local shops located within 2 minutes of the hotel. Rooms were nice and big, very clean also. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly, many tours and rides available at the reception. Breakfast was a limited set menu with an okay sized portion, but relative to the room price, it was fine. The WiFi in my room was not great and the 4G connection was weak. If there were no WiFi issues the property would have received 5 stars.

The Living Arts Village by Artisans Angkor

Sights 468 m 6 min walk 4.4/5 on Google

The Living Arts Village by Artisans Angkor is 468 m north-east of Solar Hotel — about 6 minutes on foot. It is the closest place to the hotel under “sights”.

The next two places under “sights” from Solar Hotel are Old Market Bridge (826 m) and Pub Street (836 m), so there is a choice within a few minutes.

The Living Arts Village by Artisans Angkor is a working craft center in Siem Reap where visitors can watch artisans create traditional Cambodian pieces. The space is organized into workshops for stone carving, wood carving, metal work, silk weaving, and painting. You can walk through these areas during production and observe the techniques firsthand. Many visitors mention a hands-on station where you can try stone carving yourself. After the workshop tour, there is a large gift shop selling finished pieces made on-site.

Visitors consistently praise the welcoming atmosphere and the skill of the artisans, who are generally happy to explain their work and allow photography. The open workshop layout means you see the actual creative process rather than a staged demonstration. Most people report the experience takes around 45 minutes. A common note is that prices are higher than in other souvenir shops, though visitors accept this because the pieces are made directly by the artisans and the center can arrange worldwide shipping. Entry is free, though you are expected to visit the shop.

The site is open daily from 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM. It works well if you want to understand how Cambodian crafts are actually made and buy directly from makers rather than through middlemen. Go in off-peak season if you prefer a quieter, more personalized experience, or expect busier periods during high tourist season.

Phsa Kraom Market

Markets 497 m 6 min walk 4.3/5 on Google

Phsa Kraom Market is 497 m south-west of Solar Hotel — about 6 minutes on foot. It is the closest place to the hotel under “markets”.

The other place under “markets” within reach of Solar Hotel is Phsar Leu Thom Tmey (2.9 km).

Phsa Kraom Market is a working wet market in Siem Reap where locals buy groceries, prepared food, and everyday supplies. The stalls sell fresh vegetables, fruit, fish, meat, poultry, spices, and prepared dishes from early morning through evening. Street food vendors offer Khmer noodles, grilled items, fried bananas, and other snacks at low prices. The market also stocks cloth, housewares, and other goods, typically cheaper than the central Siem Reap market. This is not a tourist market, and the selection and activity level are highest in the early hours.

Visitors consistently describe this as an authentic local experience, though opinions on the atmosphere vary. Many appreciate the genuine Cambodian setting, the quality and variety of fresh produce, and the affordable prices. The market can be chaotic and rough around the edges, which some find adds to its authenticity. Others note that the meat and seafood sections can be unsettling—the butchering happens openly and visibly, which may discomfort some visitors. The road outside has potholes and fairly heavy traffic, requiring care when walking.

The market opens at 5:00 AM and closes at 9:00 PM daily, with the busiest and most well-stocked period in early morning. Wear comfortable shoes and watch your footing on the uneven pavement. This suits travellers seeking genuine interaction with local life and affordable Cambodian food rather than a sanitised shopping experience. Those sensitive to live animal processing or crowded, unpolished environments should manage expectations accordingly.

The Secret Eden Spa

Spa & wellness 544 m 7 min walk 4.7/5 on Google

The Secret Eden Spa is 544 m north-west of Solar Hotel — about 7 minutes on foot. It is the closest place to the hotel under “spa & wellness”.

The next two places under “spa & wellness” from Solar Hotel are The Spa Siem Reap (671 m) and Relax Spa​ (1.2 km), so there is a choice within a few minutes.

The Secret Eden Spa sits on Sok San Road in central Siem Reap, offering massage and body treatments in a setting visitors describe as peaceful and quietly designed. The spa provides shuttle pickup and drop-off to and from hotels, and treatment rooms are separate, clean spaces with private facilities. Visitors consistently mention the calm atmosphere and the quality of the massage work itself as reasons to return.

Guests praise the skill of the therapists and the accuracy of deep tissue work, with several noting they have had better massages here than elsewhere. The reasonable pricing relative to the quality of treatment comes up repeatedly. Staff are described as warm and welcoming—the reception area greets visitors with iced tea and a cold face cloth. Communication through WhatsApp for same-day bookings is reportedly fast. No significant complaints appear in visitor feedback; the main point of consistent recommendation is the combination of professional technique, peaceful setting, and value.

The spa opens daily from 9:30 AM to 10:00 PM (closed Sundays). It suits anyone in Siem Reap wanting a massage or body scrub without the hassle of arranging transport, and works well for repeat treatments during a stay. Booking through their WhatsApp number appears to be the practical approach, particularly if you want same-day availability. The location on a quieter lane means you can step away from central Siem Reap's busier streets.

Charms Cambodia

Bars 566 m 7 min walk 4.5/5 on Google

Charms Cambodia is 566 m north-east of Solar Hotel — about 7 minutes on foot. It is the closest place to the hotel under “bars”.

The next two places under “bars” from Solar Hotel are Ambar Cocktails & Karaoke Bar (713 m) and ASANA OLD WOODEN HOUSE Cocktail Bar (883 m), so there is a choice within a few minutes.

Charms Cambodia is a bar on Steung Thmei in central Siem Reap, positioned near the main pub district. The space is described as roomy and includes pool tables. It operates from 5 PM to 2 AM daily. The bar employs a predominantly female staff, which shapes the nature of the venue and the experience visitors report.

Visitors consistently praise the friendly service and affordable drinks. The atmosphere and music receive positive mentions. Guests note the bar's proximity to Pub Street makes it accessible for an evening out. However, opinions divide on the primary draw: some appreciate the social aspect with staff, while others find the focus on staff interaction as the main attraction either appealing or intrusive depending on what they seek from a night out. A handful of visitors express frustration with the 2 AM closing time, noting that competing venues nearby stay open later and still draw customers at that hour.

The bar suits those looking for a casual evening with pool games and drinks in the company of a young, friendly team. It's best visited after 5 PM, any night of the week. Expectations should be calibrated to the bar's model as a staff-interaction venue rather than a quiet spot for conversation or a music-focused club. The early closing time is worth noting if you plan a later night.

Old Maison Eatery

Restaurants 585 m 7 min walk 4.9/5 on Google

Old Maison Eatery is 585 m east of Solar Hotel — about 7 minutes on foot. It is the closest place to the hotel under “restaurants”.

The next two places under “restaurants” from Solar Hotel are Wild (595 m) and Fellini Siem Reap (687 m), so there is a choice within a few minutes.

Tucked into the quieter Wat Damnak area of Siem Reap, Old Maison Eatery is a Khmer restaurant with a rustic, well-finished interior that several visitors compare favourably to smarter Western dining rooms. The menu covers local staples alongside some Western dishes, with rice crackers and shrimp fritters served as starters and mains that run from beef lok lak and fish amok to a beef saraman curry. It opens daily from 3:00 to 10:30 PM.

Reviewers are consistent on a few points: the rice crackers with their dipping sauce and the shrimp fritters with pepper sauce are repeatedly singled out, and the saraman curry and lok lak also draw praise. Food prices are described as affordable for the quality and portion size, though one visitor noted drinks run a bit pricier. Service comes up again and again as a highlight, with staff described as attentive, warm, and willing to bring extras like more dipping sauce without being asked. A couple of reviewers mention minor misses, such as fried rice with slightly dry chicken or shrimp fritters that were fine but unremarkable, though these are framed as small quibbles rather than real complaints. More than one guest calls the restaurant among the better meals of their whole Siem Reap trip.

Given how often reviewers mention the place being busy, booking ahead is worth doing rather than turning up on spec, especially in the evening. The setting suits couples and families looking for a proper sit-down dinner rather than a quick bite, and it works well as an introduction to Khmer cuisine for visitors who want familiar comforts like fries alongside more traditional dishes.

Sabay Cinema Siem Reap

Cinema 588 m 7 min walk 4.2/5 on Google

Sabay Cinema Siem Reap is 588 m north-east of Solar Hotel — about 7 minutes on foot. It is the closest place to the hotel under “cinema”.

The other place under “cinema” within reach of Solar Hotel is Legend Cinemas Siem Reap (1.7 km).

Sabay Cinema Siem Reap is a multiplex cinema located on Sivutha Road in central Siem Reap, operating daily from 9 AM to 11:30 PM. The venue offers multiple screens showing a mix of international films, mostly in 3D format, alongside 2D options. The ground floor has a snack bar serving popcorn and basic refreshments. Screens are equipped with air conditioning and working sound systems, with seating that includes adjustable armrests.

Visitors consistently praise the comfortable seating, clear audio, and reasonable ticket prices, typically around $2.50 to $3 per ticket. The air-conditioned environment is noted as a welcome relief in the tropical heat. However, guests mention several recurring issues: the men's toilets frequently malfunction, the snack selection is limited to popcorn and microwaved items with few alternatives, and while screen quality is adequate for enjoying films, it is not considered premium. Some visitors also report that most American releases are shown in 3D rather than 2D. The bakery that once operated here is no longer available. One visitor mentioned dark stairs inside the theater, though another dispute this observation.

This cinema suits visitors looking for an affordable movie experience during their stay in Siem Reap, particularly those seeking air-conditioned refuge during midday heat. It works best for flexible moviegoers who are not particular about snack options or cutting-edge screen technology. Arrive early if you have specific preferences for 2D showings, as 3D films dominate the schedule. Ticket prices make it accessible for casual viewing, but plan bathroom needs carefully given the reported maintenance issues with male facilities.

Wild

Restaurants 595 m 7 min walk 4.9/5 on Google

Wild is 595 m north-east of Solar Hotel — about 7 minutes on foot. It is among the three closest places to the hotel under “restaurants”.

The next two places under “restaurants” from Solar Hotel are Old Maison Eatery (585 m) and Fellini Siem Reap (687 m), so there is a choice within a few minutes.

A restaurant in the Wat Damnak area of Siem Reap built around a single idea: spring rolls, both fresh rice-paper rolls and deep-fried versions, done in a range of creative combinations rather than the standard version found around town. The menu extends to cocktails and mocktails, a vegetarian selection, and desserts such as banana spring rolls, all served in a space with attentive decor and a cosy, relaxed atmosphere. Card and Google Pay are accepted, a small but useful detail in a city where cash is often expected.

Reviewers are consistently enthusiastic, with names like Monsoon Rainbow, King Jayavarman and Mama Mia coming up as favourites among the fresh and fried rolls, and several guests recommend ordering one of each style to compare textures. The service is repeatedly described as warm, professional and fast, with staff singled out for genuine hospitality rather than routine politeness. More than one visitor mentions returning multiple times during a short stay, or wishing they had, and dishes are noted for traditional Khmer touches beneath the inventive presentation. No significant complaints appear in the feedback, though the narrow focus on spring rolls means diners looking for a broader Khmer menu may want to check the offerings beforehand.

Open daily from late morning until late evening, Wild suits couples looking for a relaxed dinner, spring roll enthusiasts, and travellers who want a vegetarian-friendly option without sacrificing flavour. Given the popularity reflected in the review volume, arriving a little ahead of peak dinner hours is a sensible precaution for those without a reservation.

MR.LY Gym and Boxing

Sport & fitness 661 m 8 min walk 4.9/5 on Google

MR.LY Gym and Boxing is 661 m east of Solar Hotel — about 8 minutes on foot. It is the closest place to the hotel under “sport & fitness”.

The other place under “sport & fitness” within reach of Solar Hotel is Aum Yoga Center, Siem Reap, Cambodia (2.9 km).

MR.LY Gym and Boxing is a Kun Khmer and boxing training facility on the far side of the river from Pub Street, offering group classes and open gym access alongside coaching for fighters at different stages of experience. Visitors describe a working gym rather than a polished fitness studio: equipment is functional but not new, and the space is set up for genuine training rather than casual sightseeing.

What comes through consistently in reviews is the quality of the coaching. Guests repeatedly mention coaches who are patient with beginners while still running serious sessions, and several note that champion fighters train alongside regular clients, giving the place a credible, unglamorous feel. Equipment for classes is provided on site, so newcomers do not need their own gear. The value for money is mentioned often, with entry to the gym or a class priced low enough that people treat it as an easy addition to a Siem Reap stay. One longer-term visitor who trained there for two months recalls a demanding daily routine of sparring and clinching that noticeably improved their skills. The main practical caveat raised is navigational rather than about the gym itself: there are multiple businesses with a similar name, so it is worth confirming the route in advance, past Pub Street and across the river.

The gym is open every day from 6am to 9pm, which allows for morning or evening sessions around sightseeing. It suits both complete beginners curious about Kun Khmer or boxing and more experienced fighters looking for real sparring, since reviewers describe classes as adaptable to different skill levels. Anyone booking transport should double check the address given the name overlap with other gyms in town, and those short on time in the city may still find a single class worthwhile based on how visitors describe the experience.
