of an Indiana jones theme park but with class.

The breakfast buffet was quite good. It was included with my room. The baguettes were fantastic. For me that was the highlight of the buffet. The baguettes were just perfect. There was quite a variety of western, Chinese and Japanese choices. With at least 4-5 stations where the chefs could prepare custom orders.

The staff in this hotel were exceptionally warm and quite good looking. I guess that must be a criteria. Many spoke english. I also heard many speak Japanese and other foreign languages to the guests. So the hotel has servers to attend to guests in their own languages. That was quite interesting.

The hotel is perfectly located. It is just a 10 minute ride to Angkor Wat. I even jogged to the Angkor complex one day. Everything is within short walking distance from the hotel.

The hotel is walled with security constantly patrolling. As such, I felt quite safe. Contrary to what I read on advisory sites I felt quite safe walking around Siem Reap during the day and along the main drag at night. If anything I was more wary of drunk tourists.

Let me tell you something, this town is super inexpensive. I was stunned by how far my dollar went.
The food is so cheap and tasty. Even in the hotel you can have a full room service meal for under $10.00 US. Notice I said US dollars? It's a little crazy here currency wise as people seem to only accept US dollars. You have to fight to give them local currency. So just bring lots of one and five dollar bills with you.

At the airport you have to pay for the visa with US dollars. They have a bank machine there for you to withdraw it if you do not have currency on you. To take a taxi from the airport you will have to use US dollars. I fought them on this one and was able to use local currency. It cost 28,000.00 of the Cambodian currency. I think the US rate was $7.00. I think the rate was $1 USD = 4,000 Cambodian currency.

The trip from the airport is about 15 minutes.

You must use the spa here. It is so inexpensive compared to Canada. One day I had a 90 minute massage, a 60 minute body scrub, a facial, manicure, and pedicure and foot massage. I think it cost me less than $80 dollars. I am told that it is significantly cheaper outside. But of course you may get happy ending requests.

I found this property clean, safe and first rate. I highly recommend it and will certainly stay here again if I visit Siem Reap.

moved during the early hours (4-5 am). We initially thought that the problem was being caused by inconsiderate guests on the floor above, but the problem turned out to be the beautifully made chairs in the dining room which are too heavy to lift and make a noise when being dragged out from under the table! The hotel moved us to a room at the other side away from the dining room and problem solved! Maybe ok if you are a heavy sleeper, but if not, you don't want to be directly above the dining room!
Perhaps the hotel could try fitting some felt pads to the feet of the chair legs which would likely cure the problem. We found the staff at the hotel to be all very well trained, pleasant and efficient, and they dealt with our problem very well, hence the full marks!
Finally, the cake stall is just TOO nice!

Room Tip: avoid being directly above the dining room if you are a light sleeper!
