The Elephant sits behind Angkor High School at 7 Makara St, Krong Siem Reap. Pub Street is less than a 15-minute walk away, and Angkor Wat is a short drive from the hotel, making it a convenient base for exploring both the town centre and the temples.
Amazing hotel within this price range. Staff and customer service are 5 stars. Rooms are spacious and comfy beds. Lobby with soft lounge music is plesant and relaxing. Best quality price ratio. Thank you. PS. Many families with children here sometimes swimming pool can be laud.
We absolutely loved our stay. Everything was amazing, the property, the facilities, and the beautiful Honeymoon Room. Every little detail is thoughtfully taken care of, making the whole experience feel truly special.
The Wi-Fi was also excellent. I was able to work remotely without any issues, which was a big plus.
But what stood out the most was the staff. They are simply fantastic: incredibly kind, welcoming, attentive, and always ready to help with a genuine smile. They made our stay unforgettable. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Siem Reap.
We had the most incredible six-night stay at The Elephant hotel in Siem Reap! We had been travelling across South-East Asia for over four months, and the service and standards at this hotel are a cut above anything we've experienced elsewhere. This is largely down to the staff. They are the friendliest, most welcoming, and most attentive team we've come across. They made a real effort to remember our names, room numbers, and what we were doing each day. No walk out the door or return to the hotel went without them asking how our day had been, where we were going, or wishing us a wonderful time. They provide such a warmth starting as soon as you arrive with a cold towelette, welcome drinks and fresh fruit, and genuinely care about their guests. They deserve so much credit for the job they do!
The hotel itself is also truly wonderful, located around. 15 minute walk from the Old Market and Pub Street area at the heart of Siem Reap. If you don't fancy the walk, a complimentary tuk-tuk service is provided by the hotel from 6pm to 9pm, and at other times of day tuk-tuks are always available out front. The rooms are wonderfully spacious, comfortable, clean, and have fantastic air conditioning for warmer days. Tea and coffee making facilities are provided, as are two metal flasks which can be filled with water in the restaurant rather than using plastic bottles, a touch which we really liked. Having a balcony is fantastic, but there is also ample space poolside for sitting before di
The hotel is great! The breakfast good and the staff is very friendly! The prices are a bit high but the high standaards Justifying that. You can get a Tuktuk from the hotel you will pay more but it’s always there for you! The hotel is nicely decorated and you can buy some of the stuff they have. Expect a 50% high price but ok! It’s normal. Definitely recommended.
I already can’t wait to come back, The Elephant was one of the best parts about my trip to Siem Reap.
Everything is perfect.
The staff, the pool, the food, the atmosphere was so wonderful. It felt like home and the staff went above and beyond to make the stay so enjoyable. Nita & Hongsien were absolute sunshine every time I walked in the door and were so accommodating.
