We chose the Shinta Mani because of its outreach to the villages of Siem Reap. We were able to see that up close and personal, but got so much more. The service is impecable. The staff are attentive, but not in an overt way. I arrived a bit under the weather and had to send my husband off alone for... more

Shinta Mani is our new favorite place, anywhere. It has local character, charm in abundance, great rooms/beds, excellent restaurant (best meals we had in Cambodia), wonderful staff, and walking-distance location. Spa services were provided by staff, not contractors. Siem Reap was a surprise with its main road lined with modern monster hotels. This one stands apart not just in location... more

We stayed in a poolside room for 5 nights, during our trip to Cambodia. All the staff are fantastic and can not do enough to help you. The room may be a little dated, but was very comfortable, with a good shower room. We booked all our trips (Temples and Tonle Sap) through the hotel and this worked very well.... more

I spent a number of weeks at the Shinta Mani with my two children (one teen ager, one younger child) while working in Siem Reap. We could not have chosen a better place to stay! The Shinta Mani has all the best amenities of a lovely hotel: extremely clean and comfortable rooms, a nice pool area, wonderful spa, delicious and... more

It was the perfect romantic getaway. The staff were friendly and professional and the service was excellent. Definitely try out the restaurant for more than just breakfast (their fish amok is out of this world). The pool and spa are also beautiful, as is the upstairs library. The fact the Shinta Mani also runs the Institute for Hospitality which benefits... more

From the get-go, I was sold. The staff is so eager, kind and attentive. The welcome was wonderful, and my room, which was on the main floor was the perfect size and location. Just a point to note - my room was along the pool, the first night it was a bit noisy with the water running and hearing the... more

Wonderful hotel with a caring and very pleasant staff. It also houses a hospitality school with students eager to please. Rooms are clean, well appointed with comfortable beds. The General Manager, Chitra, has a heart of gold which shines through everywhere. If you want a memory of a lifetime, contact Salomon Deleon at cba@shintamani.com, who is from Seattle and is... more

I just called to make a reservation and was told that I couldn't do it over the phone but must fill out 'a form.' When I informed the gentleman that I recently booked a friend at the hotel over the phone in March, he said it didn't matter any more and I still needed to go on line and fill... more

We arrived on New Year's Eve day and spent four nights at Shinta Mani. Since we were there on New's Years Eve we were required pay for the New Year's Eve party, which wa pretty expensive for a buffet dinner...but that was OK. The staff really tried hard, played Madonna music and got most everyone out dancing. We even played... more
