We were staying on the 5th floor, a room with a big balcony overlooking Sivatha Boulevard. Was a great room, except for the fact that the lift serves only up to 4th floor, and therer was a foul smell after the air-con was on. For a 3-star hotel standard, they give out quite good amenities. From the hotel you can actually walk to the Old Market, or hire a tuk-tuk for USD1 per trip. Staff are friendly and helpful.

In Siem Reap for a few days this is a perfect base. Very reasonably priced 3* hotel by UK standards. Clean good sized rooms, hotel 10 minute walk into town centre for bars and restaurants. Buffet breakfast a bit hit and miss with things missing if you're late eating...and compared to the freshly cooked great food everywhere else in any restaurant a bit disappointing. Nice pool if you're not sightseeing. With Angkor on your doorstep you're not going to spend time indoors so for what you need in this town why pay more anywhere else when this is very good . Bit pricey for backpackers maybe....but check the backpackers places personally as they vary a lot.

The generally friendly, helpful and English-speaking staff is the best thing of this hotel. Otherwise, Angkor Star provides basic amenities: good air-con (a must in Cambodia), comfortable-enough beds, towels and basic toiletries, although they give you very little
toilet paper: we ran out of it by the morning, and we were only there after 10 pm each night...But they will give you more upon request. There is also a safety box in our room, although it’s stuck three out of ten times… but if you keep trying, it will open.

However, if you are obsessed with cleanness, this is not the place for you. My friends and I found several stains on our bed sheets, pillow cases and towels. And they might not have changed our sheets during the three nights we stayed there, as we found same stains on them over all three nights… There are also stains in the toilet and the bath tub, and the water from the shower and the faucet tastes like rust… There are spider webs filled with dead mosquitoes on our ceiling…

Breakfast was ok… the omelet bar was a nice touch, but the orange juice was disgusting. We only had breakfast there once. The café in Hotel de la Paix, only 5-10 mins walk away is a great place for breakfast with most items less than USD 5. If you are driving or hiring a car, the breakfast prix fix at Amansara is great but a little pricy: USD 30 per head.

Location is great as the hotel is along a main road where shopping, massage parlors, restaurants and mini marts are all walking distances. It is likewise around 15 mins distance to the temples so you can always go back to this hotel and refresh for half an hour during your day tours (which i recommend specially during the hot season).

This is a good hotel to stay if you plan your Siem Reap Trip to be more of visiting temples rather than enjoying hotel amenities.

The rooms are nice. And surprisingly big.

For the US$35 rate (i visited during an off season) i got, i expected a small room with a double bed. no furnitures. limited amenities. No mini fridge. No lampshades, No bathtub. no interior designs. And just a room with one bright light in the middle of the room.

I got the opposite of all these and is very happy with my room. With the rate vs. the room i got, i am glad i selected this hotel.

I also got a room on the side of the main road and yes, you can't hear any outside noise from the tuktuks.

By the way, they don't refill their breakfast table automatically. You have to ask for refills in case you eat breakfast late.

And there's free wifi at the lobby which i can still get the signal at the balcony of my 2nd floor room ...
