Any review needs to take into account the price and the star rating. Given this here are my comments.
On the bright side:
The location is good (although on a dirt road) and just a 5-10 minute walk across the river to the pub street area where all of the foreigners congregate and where there are many cheap and good restaurants, bars, massage, markets, etc.
The rooms are quite large with a separate desk and chair, sitting area, big bed, separate entrance area, and quite large toilet/shower room. There is a safe, coffee/tea, good a/c and plenty of power points.
All fittings are made from wood including a high raked ceiling, wooden floors and furniture. There is a nice outlook over the water feature/garden or pool from the first floor, although privacy issues would prevent the gound floor units from appreciating this.
The Cambodian people are lovely and the staff here embody this.
There is a nice pool area although we were not informed about it when we arrived and we only discovered it on the last day!
Not so good:
The WIFI varies from slow to unusable. Probably OK if you are just checking email but not much good for anything else. However, there are 2 PCs next to reception that seem to be work a little better.
The prices for any extras are riduculously expensive. Eat outside, get your clothes washed down the road ($1=1kg & support a local business), go to any of the thousands of massage places up the road and save your money.
Breakfast was a buffet but very basic and the same stuff every day. Adequate but definititely not upto 4*. I accidently booked the room for one person instead of two (which is very easy to do on Agoda) and had to pay $14 for the extra breakfast. You can get a good breakfast down the road for $3-4. I checked on Agoda and if I had made the correct booking it would have only cost an extra $6.
The bed is quite hard. Not an issue for us but some would find it unsuitable.
If you are booked here already you won't be disappointed and I know I am being super critical but for $125 and 41/2* I think you can do better in Siem Reap.
