A beautiful small hotel (only 6 rooms), in Siem Reap. The room we stayed in was the perfect size with a large walk-in shower. The staff were lovely and helped us organise our excursions to Angkor Wat and the trip to the Airport. We didn't eat there, but we had some cocktails on the roof watching the sunset and the... More

Locan could not be better. Sited in a pedestrian alley with several excellent restaurants only steps away, this hotel is a real value. It has only six or eight rooms. The showers are the large "rain head" showers, floors are a slate type tile and the furninshings are teak. Rooms are large, well designed with excellent A/C, fast internet, and... More

Everything about this hotel is excellent. The service was great - Phally and the rest of the staff were very friendly. When I arrived I had lost my passport and Phally was very proactive and invaluable in getting things sorted with the local authorities (Although luckily it was found again in the end). I wish I had more time to... More

We were lucky to stumble on this hotel doing a bit of a surf of the web when planning our trip. The people here are very friendly helpful and warm. The rooms are excellent very chic. The location is perfect close to the action yet away enough to be quiet at night. We would recommend this hotel and would stay... More

On arrival at the hotel I was informed that I had been upgraded to a family suite free of charge! The room was immaculate and the hotel was less than 30 seconds walk from pub street and the heart of the action; despite this fact it was lovely and peaceful at night as well as throughout the day.

Thanks very much for your review the comments are always so useful for us. We usually order our sausages from our Italian supplier and they are home made but unfortunately they were not available during your stay and clearly the other ones were not as good.

This restaurant has kind of a modern, trendy feel, and an intimate (maybe 4 tables?) but cool rooftop terrace where you can eat dinner overlooking the city. I was really surprised more people weren't eating here, because the food was pretty good, the service better than most (of course, this is Cambodia afterall so don't expect American-style restaurant service).
