I sometimes hesitate to share my favourite siem reap hotel in case it becomes too crowded :). I stay here each time, having worked at the hospital for many years and sampled multiple hotels. Its a great little hotel for families, serves cheap tasty meals which never give the tummy wobbles, a substantial breakfast ( love the coconut pumpkin porridge dish). it has a wonderful pool and lovely garden. Sure, the area isn't that pretty.. though luxury hotels are nearby. They provide a free tuk tuk to town and airport pick up too, free tea and coffee all day in the lobby, a stacked fridge with self serve beer and cola for $1...and can advise and book all tours for you.. what's not to like? They have great staff ( Mr. Pagnan, Miss Sinet and Base to name a few). All are friendly and super helpful. the girls in the restaurant are lovely and make a good pina colada for $2.75. I would go for the weekend if I could.. enjoy!
