Best Banan Hotels

Beautiful, peaceful family homestay. I wish we'd stayed here for all 3 nights as there is more to see in this area than in Battambang town. Loved the hammocks for dozing while listening to the birds. Saro and his extended family all live here (it's a genuine Homestay not purpose built for tourists). Everyone is very kind and welcoming and the meals they made us were delicious. We were cycling and were late arriving due to having to change a tyre but Sairo had kindly waited at the side of the road to guide us. The Homestay is a short walk to the Batcave and is in a typical small village. Saairo booked the boat to siem reap for us and also made sure they would pick up our bikes and that it was the best dock (careful! There are 2 dropoff docks in siem reap for the boat).

A refreshing, green guesthouse with a great restaurant! Just a 5 min ride into battambong city, but make sure to check out the food stalls and shops nearby. Surrounded by rice fields and greenery, a breath of fresh air staying outside of town! Our hosts were so friendly when I arrived with a tonne of luggage and a toddler, everyone helped, and was so friendly during our stay. The room was clean with two large beds, with a curtain between which was great for putting the toddler to sleep before us! We enjoyed a lovely meal at the restaurant with an extensive menu. The pool is gorgeous and the landscaping and decor super cute, would definitely stay here again. Even when I was leaving, they checked we had got everything from the room and brought out my mozzie racket which I accidentally left!

The location, garden design & architecture, room, breakfast as well as the highly hospitable, helpful and professional staff offered us a wonderful stay in Battambang. The garden is a very skilled creation associating dozens of local plants and trees that provides a relaxing shelter not only for guests but also for birds.

The hotel looks so nice from outside. Their lobby looks luxurious, much better, in fact, than the rooms. The room is spacious but totally uncomfortable: hard mattress and pillows, the armchairs cushions are harder than the mattress, which means that I couldn't use them. There is no furniture like a closet, it's made of that awful dark colored concrete in bad need of a lack of paint, just like the walls. The room was reasonably clean and we were asked if we wanted cleaning each day. The day we asked just for a change of towels, nobody bothered to empty the trash. The room had a nice small balcony, but no furniture to sit outside, not even a rack to hang our clothes or dry our towels. The bathroom was kept pristine but the shower curtain was a disgrace, not to be touched. We had booked (and paid) for a queen bed but got twins, instead, without any prior notice or apologies for the change. The hotel location is convenient, along a main road, within walking distance of the city center and the lovely river. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone: it is too primitive for the price.

We stayed for 2 nights after visiting Phnom Penh and before our journey to Siem Reap, we wanted to see a bit more of Cambodia and Battambang was an excellent choice and so was this hotel, we couldn’t have stayed anywhere better, the only mistake we made was only booking 2 nights! It truly is a little oasis and after the hustle bustle of Phnom Penh was a welcome relief – just outside of Battambang and very peaceful with lovely rooms. We had a lake room and our daughter and partner had a garden room, the garden room was great but the lake room was even better, so relaxing to sit (or use the hammock) by the lake on your own private terrace. The pool was lovely and the staff were very friendly. We ate at the hotel on the two nights we stayed because the food was really good, a wide menu choice and a perfect setting by the pool area. Breakfast was a bit limited but adequate. We came to Battambang to experience the rural life, to see the bat cave and some historical/landmark sites – I booked a full day and half day tour by tuk tuk with Battambang Tours By Bun – it was full on and very interesting and informative, well recommended (I will do a separate review). So if you are planning a visit to Battambang for whatever reasons, fully recommend this hotel.

Our bus was supposed to arrive at 6.00 am in Battambang so we didn't plan to book a night for that same day. Instead we arrived at 3.30 am, so we were suddenly in the middle of the night in Battambang. We were lucky enough to find this place. The poor host woke up just for us and got us a room immediately. In a matter of 10 minutes we were already sleeping in our beds, they were our saviours! The room was big and clean, no frills but very comfortable. Definitely super value for money, and really, the hosts were super nice and helpful!

Angkor Comfort Hotel offers an affordable stay in a prime location, ideal for travelers exploring the heart of town. With many sightseeing spots and restaurants within walking distance, the hotel is well-situated for convenience. The rooms are spacious, featuring air conditioning and refrigerators, ensuring a comfortable stay for the price. Bathrooms are notably large, and some rooms even include a bathtub for added relaxation. Guests who opt for river-facing rooms will enjoy a stunning sunrise view, complete with sights of the Independent Monument—a serene way to start the day. The hotel has taken steps to address feedback from previous reviews, showcasing a commitment to improvement. However, there’s still room for enhancements to make it a more appealing choice for travelers. Convenience is further elevated by the presence of two elevators, reducing wait times and adding ease to your stay. While the accommodations are simple and could benefit from upgrades, they provide a restful space for budget-conscious travelers. Overall, Angkor Comfort Hotel is a decent choice for its location and value, with potential to become a standout option with further refinements.

We arrived in Phnom Penh at 4 pm & straight away went to Virak Buntham bus station to get to Battambang. However, 11 pm tickets were unavailable so we took the 8 pm sleeper bus. I was told that we might arrive at 3:30 am, so I immediately booked Star Hotel through Agoda. We arrived in Battambang at 4 am & Star Hotel is just a few metres from Virak Buntham's office. The hotel was locked. After knocking for a few minutes, the caretaker registered us. No lift & our room is on the 2nd floor. We booked the cheapest room (no window with a fan) to crash until noon. The room is clean & comfortable, and so are the bathroom & towels. They provided bottled drinks. Good for a night stay.
