Hotels near Wat Chowk, Siem Reap

I stayed here for a week and really enjoyed the female dorm room. The common area was spacious, so I never had to worry about not having enough space to organize my luggage. Each bed had a shelf for personal items and a lockable locker, which was very convenient for travelers. My favorite part was the shower and toilet area; they always had pleasant music playing, which I thoroughly enjoyed during my stay.

At Metta Residence & Spa, what makes the experience truly special is not only the beautiful property itself, but above all the people who work there. The staff stand out through their exceptional attentiveness, genuine warmth, and remarkable kindness. From the very first moment, you feel welcomed and well cared for, as every request is met with a smile and a personal touch. It is this combination of a lovely setting and heartfelt service that makes a stay there so memorable.

Thank you for this excellent and very comfortable stay! I felt right at home! Special thanks to Brathna, Thy, Sinat, and Seyla for their hospitality!

I stayed here for 4 nights due to a botched reservation from another of their property under the IndochineGroup. I was travelling with a friend and we booked a studio double room with pool view and balcony each. Overall I had a good stay although the maintenance of the hotel could be a lil better. I would like to give special mention to a really exceptional staff, Mr Sadaka, for being the highlight of my stay. He was perhaps the only one who easily comprehended our requests, great situational awareness and resolved whatever issues that we brought up with professionalism and positivity. The rooms were spacious with basic amenities. I think the hotel is a little old and you can see that they are doing their renovation in parts. Some room floors are diff from the others. And some parts of the wall have old mold that they either missed out or just didn’t care. There is a fridge, TV (not working), thin bathrobes and a station with coffee and tea. Bed was king sized and comfy with clean white sheets. Bathroom is a little dark and looks moldy but maybe it’s just really old. They provide shower gel and hand soap in a pump bottle. Maintenance of the room could probably be better with a new coat of paint. There were mold stains below the luggage shelf which they prob thought no one would notice. The swimming pool was a real blessing after a hot morning walk. It’s surrounded by the ground level rooms (pool view) and has a quaint little sunken bar where you can enjoy your cocktails while swimming. The walls inside the pool at the deeper end is covered with a layer of brown mold/fungus which peeled off into the water when I touched it. Loads of bits floating after. They have a good restaurant in the lobby and an even more quaint cafe serving local dishes just next door (there’s a sliding door from the restaurant) MUST check it out! There’s also a good bagels place just outside on the right of the entrance. Perfect if your room doesn’t come with breakfast. They also have a good massage service where you can choose to have it in the massage rooms above the cafe or in your room. There is a 20% discount if you are a guest. Location-wise, it’s really convenient with loads of eateries and the famous Pub Street just a 10min walk away.

I chose this hotel as it’s near the Angkor temples but that was not so important after knowing even if you stay at this hotel, you need a ride to reach to the temples. But the staff welcoming me on my first night was so kind enough to share anything about what ordinary tourists want, which is really appreciated. The room was spacious for myself and got so relaxed in the room. One thing that I may share to you is that due to the thinness of the wall, I heard almost what was spoken in my next room and some were very uncomfortable as you can imagine. Except for that, I am quite satisfied with the hotel and would love to come again. Oh I tried their breakfast and it was great in terms of taste, quantity and restaurant’s atmosphere.

Anjali was perfect. Quiet, restful, and beautiful. The pool is always shaded by dense foliage so it seemed like we were in the middle of the jungle. The restaurant was amazing, and all the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. They helped us arrange all our tours and activities. We were especially lucky to have Mr. Chhlen drive us around all week in the tuktuk and the van: not only was he kind and knowledgeable, making helpful suggestions for attractions and restaurants we wouldn’t have known about otherwise, but also he was very attentive to our kids and helped keep them safe and entertained when we were out temples and souvenir shops. We highly recommend Anjali and would stay again.

Funky Village was one of the most energetic and social places I stayed in Siem Reap. The moment you step through the door, you're greeted by a spacious courtyard, a large pool, and a 24-hour bar. The hostel feels like a small campus, with groups chatting or planning new activities in every corner. The location is perfect: a 5-minute walk to Pub Street, and close to the night market and many restaurants. It’s also easy to get to temple tours; the reception usually helps with tours and transfers, making booking tickets and tours effortless. It was so easy to drop my bag and start exploring right away. The rooms were spacious and clean; the dorm beds were comfortable, and the lockers were secure. The cleaning staff kept the common areas and bathrooms tidy, and the pool area was tidied up every morning. There are private room options too; it’s ideal for backpackers in terms of value for money. Wi-Fi is strong in common areas, though it can fluctuate in the rooms sometimes. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The cheerful receptionists gave travel tips, and the bar staff were both quick and chatty; they did their best to keep the hostel atmosphere lively. Thanks to night events, bar games, and pool parties, even solo travelers easily made friends. The intense party and social life is its biggest advantage, but also its only drawback: it’s not ideal for those seeking quiet due to the noise that lasts until late at night. Bringing earplugs or requesting a quieter room might be helpful. During peak seasons, common areas get crowded; finding a spot by the pool can sometimes be a matter of luck. Overall, if you want to meet new people, be close to nightlife, and have an energetic hostel experience, Funky Village is a great choice. If rest and tranquility are your priority, it would be better to opt for smaller, quieter boutique hostels in the city. For me, this was an unforgettable and fun stop for travelers looking to experience the social side of Siem Reap.

4-Star Luxury Hotel for the Backpacker Price of $40/night! The first thing you notice about Sokha Palace Siem Reap Hotel is just how pretty it is! The architect, painters, decorators and maintenance staff did a fabulous job (see my photos). The second thing you notice is how delicious the huge buffet is – including free espresso drinks. Third, you notice that the rooms are not only nice but that everything works well (aircon, hot water showers, refrigerator, wifi, and cable TV with news channels from a half dozen countries like CNN). Fourth, it is in a quiet location less than 15 minutes from Angkor Wat, and only a $2 tuktuk ride to Pub Street or anywhere else in Siem Reap. But then you notice the best part: the outstanding hotel staff. For example, the Front Desk Manager Phyrun personally helped me when I could not make my room keycard work, and even brought me a bucket of ice. Originally I booked five nights during Chinese New Year with Trip.com discounts for $39/night, but he gave me a free upgrade from a garden view double with king bed to a pool view room. I liked it so much I wanted to extend, but the best I could find online was $41/night garden view, $51 for pool view. I asked Phyrun if I could get the upgrade again if I bought the $41 online, and he said no – but he smiled and said he would give it to me for $40/night the Khmer rate instead (normally $50 for barangs like me)! The restaurant had other examples of great staff. Some days the restaurant is overflowing with several hundred guests, other days only a few dozen. Yet they maintain the quality and personal touch from the egg and soup station, to the bountiful buffet, to the waiters and waitresses that clear the tables. The Restaurant Manager Somedy and his Assistant Manager Chhaiya keep it all flowing smoothly. Even on the busiest day, waitress Chanthla took the time to show my Khmer friend’s elderly stepmom the way they fold the napkins. Today the espresso machine was not working for a while, so Chhaiya offered to have a waiter drive over to the sister hotel to bring me lattes. I repeatedly declined, but was very impressed by the excellent customer service attitude. So the real beauty of this French chateau style hotel is its employees, including very efficient housekeeping and grounds staff. I checked out the “5-Star” Sokha Resort on the other side of its convention center, but did not like it half as much (especially for 70% more per night). Normally I would be afraid to write a review of a hotel that I like so much, but with 456 rooms I don’t have to worry about it being full. Do yourself a favor and stay here when in Siem Reap.

Чистый хороший отель с европейским завтраком и бильярдом в холле. Нет насекомых, тихий номер, хороший воздух, прекрасный интерьер!

The hotel was pretty nice for the affordable price. The service was good, both receptionists were friendly and welcoming. The room was spacious and clean. The location was pretty convenient to visit the city center and night markets. There are a lot of bars and restaurants along the street, we really enjoyed that. Our room was on the first floor so it was a bit noisy in the mornings because other guests came to have breakfast at the lobby which was also on the same floor and a few meters from our room. Despite that, everything was very good.
