Rikitikitavi

Mi é piaciuta molto,pulita,ordinata e tutto lo staff gentile cortese e sempre sorridente. Lo staff sempre disponibile ad accogliere ogni nostra richiesta. Molto organizzati e tempestivi. Devo dire che hanno superato ogni nostra aspettativa. Paolo e il suo staff sono davvero meravigliosi. Consiglio vivamente …come sentirsi a casa in Cambogia

Assolutamente nulla

Cet hôtel est tout simplement génial L’accueil est chaleureux, des activités sont proposés, le petit déjeuner est délicieux et la piscine très chouette. Tout ça dans un jardin luxuriant qui compense largement la localisation un peu excentrée.

飯店位置就在貢布河的旁邊，風景十分秀麗；同時附近有多家餐廳與酒吧可選擇。

房間內廁所需要時常通風，否則一段時間後會有下水道的味道飄上來。另外則是房間內某些燈不知道怎麼關掉，可能會對睡眠有些影響。

The hotel has a unique feel, with the entrance decorated with stone walls in columns, curves, and circles. It blends features of a traditional Khmer house, a tourist beach house, and its French colonial foundations. The red-browns, cream, chocolate browns and dark reds inside the rooms give it a warm and comfortable atmosphere. I stayed three nights in the Deluxe Double Room, complete with mezzanine bedroom up a spiral staircase. This allowed more room for a large desk to work at, and a sofa and coffee table which made it feel homier. The desk had ample electric sockets for devices. Breakfast starts at 7 am and is available all day. I’ve never seen this anywhere else in Cambodia but what a great idea! They run a great restaurant, which is always busy, so why not? Breakfast is impressive. The bacon is the best that I have had in Cambodia, and the addition of beans and bacon made for a fun cowboy breakfast. Anything with lime in the description tasted great including the lime marmalade. The crepes with lime and honey reminded me of the pancakes my mother used to make, so it was a nice trip down memory lane. The homemade jam was delicious. My compliments to the chef. The location is good. There are great views of the riverside from the restaurant. You’re close to restaurants, cafes, ice cream vendors, shops, bars, and tourist information. You’re a short walk to the artificial beach, boat tours, and the night market. I finally found my Holy Grail – a bathroom with a rung to hang the hand towel from, situated near the sink. Great! Unfortunately, no perfect though. There was not enough shelf space in the bathroom, and the water from the shower still goes on to the floor. It’s dog-friendly, which is good because every man and his dog is in Kampot. There seems to be a lot of foreigners with pet dogs these days. There were two air-conditioners in the room, and two fans. But there was no quilt on the bed. There is a very comfortable blanket in the wardrobe, but you’ll

Climbing down the stairs is not for the faint-hearted, especially since the first step down from the top is more than usual. If you are mobility impaired or afraid of heights, forget it. The room really needs a reading lamp, so someone can read late at night without disturbing someone else trying to sleep on the bed (which is closer to the ceiling where the lights are). The old safe took some getting used to. Some of the buttons either did not work or got stuck. There were not any instructions on the safe about how to use it. You needed to sign into your own account to watch the TV. I would have liked to watch some free TV, and I hate signing in to my accounts on devices I have no control over. The hotel does provide free DVDs and a DVD player, which is a nice touch. The chess board and other games have pieces missing. They’re obviously there to look at and not to really be played. Laundry costs $2 per kg. If you walk outside and find a private business, you can get it for $1. There is no gym or pool so, I can’t give it more than three-and-a-half stars, but sometimes, you don’t need this stuff. Sometimes it is good enough to get a comfortable room, nice food, in an interesting location to explore.

Wir sind zum wiederholten Male in diesem Hotel gewesen, da die Lage im Zentrum hervorragend ist und das Personal sich rührend um alle Problem kümmert. So haben wir alle Ausflüge über die Rezeption organisieren können. Die Zimmer sind gemütlich und gut klimatisiert. Das Frühstück ist ausreichen und lecker. Von der Terrasse hat man einen tollen Blick auf den Fluss, alles Notwendige ist in unmittelbarer Nähe zu finden.

The short version is that it is very good and you should stay there. For all the juicy details including some areas of improvement, keep reading.

The location on the riverside was great. The travel arrangements from Shinouville airport to the hotel, the visit to Kep to eat crabs and the transport to Phnom Penh were really successful. Not to mention the good selection of whiskey and the great breakfast.

It was a bit annoying to wake up the night guards when I returned to the hotel late at night.

This is the second part of an 8nt stay and refers to Twin Rm No1, which was better in terms of size and noise than Dbl Rm 5 , but the quietest ones are on the right away from road, and towards back of property! We loved the riverside location, the tasteful entrance, cosy ambient lighting, efficient A/C unit, and Paolo is lucky to hv an excellent complement of friendly, helpful staff assist him and for whom nothing is too much trouble. We liked the all-day breakfast and had dinner twice in the restaurant upstairs, but discovered two places nearby that served superb food.

Dropping-off and collecting key from upstairs was a bit of a pain; the designer sink, while aesthetically pleasing, was too shallow to be of much use; bed was a bit too firm; cracks in shutters and door let in light; nowhere comfortable to chillout other than room; proximity to street, kitchen area, and restaurant above, meant lots of noise from tables and chairs being moved early each morning and evening. NB: rooms away from road and at the back shd not hv the same noise issue.
