If you are an architectural building lover, then you should stay there. The hotel is in Art Deco architectural style plastered in a yellow limewash, which was a trendy style back then when it was built. The villa is set back from the street, overlooking the street and by the Sangker River, in a well-enclosure that gives you enough privacy despite staying inside the city center.
The room that I stayed in is very spacious, and of course, it was a superior room. The furniture have a distinct style. If we turned back the time, that room must have been the master bedroom of the villa owner. It has a large balcony in the front but there is a banyan tree that acts as a natural curtain to block the view of the room from being seen from the street, which I really love to ensure even more privacy.
The nearby attractions at a walking distance include Romcheik5 gallery, Wat Kandal (a setting place for the most beloved literature of Battambang - Pka Sropoun), and a very popular public park for the locals gathering - Samdech Sar Keng Park. A 15 minutes walk to the south, you will reach the former Governor Residence, the famous landmark of Battambang.
Last but not least, I recommend you reserve some time to swim, as it has a really lovely pool at the back of the compound, next to the outer house. It is even greater if your evening is accompanied by lovely dining under the glazed roof patio restaurant, adjoining to the main villa.
This one achieves a great balance. I stayed in one of the large bedrooms on the first floor and it was great. Beautifully restored room with many original (or old) features but not over the top. The veranda type restaurant room is great too, mixing old and modern. I didn’t try the pool but it look nice and clean. Good service and the breakfast was ok.
Only issue was that the room was a bit noisy with the sound of street vendors and music quite late into the night. But with this type of vila you can’t have it all. I also wished the ceiling fans worked, to avoid turning on the A/C
I have made a reservation through booking.com but then realized that I inadvertendly selected the wrong date. I wrote to the site asking to change the date and received a reply saying that they were not receiving any response from the hotel it would have been my responsibility to contact the hotel and obtain the requested change…… So I did. I wrote several mails which have all been equally ignored. Finally I was alle to put the manager of the hotel on the phone who candidly acknowleged receipt of all my mails but instructed me that the online way to obtained the requested change was to cancel my booking reservation and made a new one directly with them (without using Booking.com). He also guaranteed that the cancellation fee would have not been applied as this was in fact a mere change of date. So i acted as instructed but the hotel never confirmed my new reservation and booking has charged me 65US cancellation fee.
If you do not want to have the same horrid experience just select an alternative structure
Very friendly and helpful staff.
The hotel is beautifully restored and is magnificent in all aspects.
The garden is lush and green and the pool is just right!
The manager Dara and his team at this hotel are extremely friendly and their level of service is excellent! To top it off they also speak english and French very well!
The chef is the Michelangelo of cooking as he certainly knows how to turn food into art!
His creations are scrumptious and the portions generous.
He makes is own bread, jams and cured/cold meats as well.
The rooms are huge and the bathrooms and bedrooms gorgeous.
The AC works perfectly so the stay is 5 star!
I will gladly return here if every given the opportunity to!
YOU have to try them when you visit Battanbang!
We had a spacious room on top of the roof, neat and clean, with a wonderful bed. I think the rooms elsewhere in the hotel are even a bit more stylish.
Delicious and plentiful breakfast. Good dinners are also served, of course in the garden, but the restaurant inside looks nice and cozy too.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Always cheerful.
We enjoyed La Villa for 100%. Even the signs of decay, which are certainly noticeable, contribute positively to the atmospheric appearance of the building. No doubt we would stay here again on a next visit.
