We had a wonderful stay at this small hotel. Unlike cookie-cutter hotels that are springing up like mushrooms all over Siem Reap, this hotel has loads of charm. In terms of decor (not conveniences), it gives you the feel of Indochina of early to mid-1900s: wooden furniture, rugs, cushions, jars, buddha statues, terrace, lush vegitation all around, etc. My 13 month old daughter had a ball running all around the specious 2nd floor and terrace. The conveniences are not perfect, but quite decent. We ate at the hotel every meal and loved it. The service we received was excellent and well above our expectations. E.g., the girls who work at the hotel took our little girl off our hands for long periods of time so that we could have a break. They peeled the fruit we bought elsewhere and brough cold coconuts from local vendors for us. We probably abused their goodwill a bit. In my professional life that required a lot of travel, I stayed at all kinds of hotels, including some luxury ones. Yet, this stay was among the most memorable. That said, there are occasional mosquitoes in dark places, so it may not be for everyone.
