Top hotels in Mean Chey
The Bridge Club
Reasonable rate with breakfast included so that was a bonus. Not the cleanest condition though and when we asked for towels and toilet paper they only brought two towels for the 4 of us… and no toilet paper so we had to buy our own.

WH Hotel 310
The stay was subpar. The room had a weird smell when we entered and the bed was hard and uncomfortable. It was very noisy, heard cars all night every night. Was also charged for a small food stain that could easily be taken out by the laundry team. Scam.
