Baby Elephant Boutique Hotel

Pool food nice big room

This hotel has a worthy story. It provides 25 ethical jobs for locals because its intention is to provide their staff with hospitality, leadership, language education and development skills and invest in their future. We enjoyed our time there and spent a lot of our downtime, post sightseeing, chilling by the pool. Overall, it has a rustic and old style charm. Our rooms were spacious and clean with funky decor, air con and full amenities - didn’t want for anything. Staff very attentive. Full disclosure you could get closer to town. It’s about a 15-20 minute walk to the centre of Siem Reap, Pub Street and the night markets, and I’m sure a cheap TukTuk ride but we never needed to do this. A well priced option. Almost forgot to add the best thing there, well I thought so, Happy the resident dog. Sooooooo adorable and a great puppy-fix for anyone missing their pet.

The room was really clean and nice. Staff cleaned everyday if requested which was super nice and comforting. Bedding and towels were fresh and clean. The pool was really nice to relax at as the entire hotel has a calm and relaxing vibe. Staff are extremely helpful and friendly and never hesitated to go the extra mile to make us feel as comfortable as possible. The beds are slightly on the firm side a bit harder than I'm use to but still slept good and got some much needed rest. For the price which included breakfast this was a really lovely place to stay at.

I know most would laugh or think i am crazy but the only thing i didn't like was sometimes being worried if flies had been sitting on my food - overthinking brain 🧠lol........

The location was great, central but quiet road. The food was delicious. The staff was very attentive.

Really lovely hotel. The best part is that this hotel focuses on ethical and sustainable tourism so you are directly contributing to empowering Cambodians to overcome poverty and become hospitality leaders. All of the staff were so kind and helpful. The hotel and rooms are cute and comfortable. There’s free drinking water stations, a shaded pool with pool towels and many sun beds, and a delicious breakfast and restaurant. The hotel is walking distance (15 minutes) to the lively riverside and pub street area but sits on a quiet side dirt road so you don’t hear the noise of the main streets.

The hotel is on a side dirt road so just make sure you have offline maps downloaded or data. We first arrived in the evening and our taxi driver had a hard time finding the street so having offline maps was super helpful.

The people were wonderful. The facility was very good, although no elevator so be aware. The pool and little bar area is adorable. Morning breakfast was fresh and healthy.

The location down a dark alley was a little disconcerting but the hotel itself is great.

Relaxing atmosphere and friendly staff

Nothing

Though the hotel runs very efficiently it has an informal feel which is very relaxing. Staff members are friendly helpful supportive. During our stay noticed that they were always keen to take extra steps to make our stay as easy and pleasant as it could possibly be. We were sad to leave!
