Best Rottanak Hotels

We were enticed by the direct email pitch from Bambu Hotel to book the ”Suite (Premium Room)” at $120 per night, ( discounted to $90 if we booked direct ) which was described as offering a modern experience with stunning views. The top tier of three options available at the hotel, however, our experience was far from premium. The ”premium” room was located on the first floor, directly above the bar / restaurant. This resulted in constant noise, with the bar open till 10pm and the common area in use until 2:30 am on one night. The significant issue is that the balcony is in a direct line of cigarette smoke from bar patrons, making it unpleasant for relaxing on. It's far from a peaceful room from a noise level perspective with all bar and restaurant staff and visitor noise and conversation audible from the room if any doors or windows are open.  The room itself was underwhelming and lacked any distinguishing features that would justify its higher price point. From a noise and smell perspective, this would be I suggest arguably the worst room on the property, most definitely not value for money! At $90 / $120 per night, this room is significantly overpriced for Battambang, especially given the many more tranquil and authentic options available in the area. In hindsight, we regret not conducting more thorough research. For future guests, I would strongly recommend avoiding the so-called ”premium” room and considering other options on the property—or elsewhere altogether.

Good value for money.The room is spacious and the staff are friendly.There is a good restaurant club nearby

Accommodation date: 23-Nov-2019 (1 night only) Positive: The whole room, including bathroom, is clean and the wifi connection is good. What I love the most is that the balcony faces the river which is quite refreshing and does not make me feel stuffy at all. The hotel is located in the city center which is so convenient and if you are travelling from Phnom Penh, you may ask the driver to drop you near the bridge which is only about 850 m to the hotel. You do not need to cross the bridge or ride until you reach the transportation company at all because most those companies are located at least 1.5 km from the hotel. Negative: The pool area is quite old and not very clean and the male staff does not really friendly. The sky bar is quite crowded sometimes and most of the customers there are not staying at this hotel. Some tips: There are Grab and Passapp (online transportation) available in the city, but it is difficult to find during night time, from 9 pm onward. Also, make sure NOT to hold your phone or any valuable items carelessly during the ride because thiefs would grab it.

Hotel service is ideal, sincere attitude, general facilities, room is big enough, clean and satisfied, there is a terrace, air conditioning is frozen enough, unfortunately hot water supply is hot and cold, should be water pressure problems, need to be improved, the pool is not too big, but clean business, suitable for family travel, food and beverage, But nearby restaurants stand, numerous, although slightly expensive, but value for money, suitable for couples, family leisure travel.

The hotel is in the downtown area, the surrounding facilities are complete, and there are many snacks and food stalls outside at night. The facilities in the hotel are old, and the room will have a little musty smell when entering the door, but fortunately it is relatively clean.

The first thing I must say was the house keeping was excellent. Big signs outside door to indicate if you wanted room made up. A big team to service rooms and everything replaced. The room was well appointed with lots of power points to work station and tea/coffee facility. Flat screen T.V. did not offer much in way of choice, the internet wi/fi was abysmal with frequent drop outs and very slow. A bit of a walk to town, river not too far away and tuk tuk's cheap at US$1. I was on the 5th floor with a small balcony and good views. Staff in reception were friendly when they looked up on entry and exit. The restaurant was detached from hotel on ground floor and offered only local food at US$2 a meal and $1 for coffee.

Arrived at Battambang at 7 o'clock in the evening, and walked directly to the hotel after enjoying the white rose dinner. The entrance passage of the hotel can be described as ”quite special”. The hanging decorative strips have a feeling of American horror story. Step into the front desk, the cool color of fluorescent light. The smile of the waiter and the waiter had a feeling of ”Human Meat Barbecued Pork Buns”, and I hurried into the room. The area of the room was really big. There was a bed in the middle of the empty room. The room with windows on all sides made people can’t help but check everything. The windows, even the bottom of the bed...then we two hit it off and decided to change the hotel directly! ! ! It is recommended that tourists who are willing to spend this little money choose other hotels...

The property was well located and close to all the activities we scheduled. The room was clean and checking in was really easy. We didn't spend much time at the hotel, but the room had all the amenities we required. However, I asked the property if it'll be possible to check in earlier to which they replied that it can not be arranged beforehand and that the staff will assist us to the best of their abilities when we arrive. We arrived 3 hours before the check-in time. The hotel staff was friendly, but a fee of $5 had to be paid. I don't mind paying a $10 fee, but this could've been communicated beforehand. The property has a really nice swimming pool, but it can only be used until 20:30. Honestly, we rarely spend time at the hotel, but I feel there are better options nearby for the same price.
