we stayed 3 nights in this wonderful hotel. The hotel is very good located to reach the archaeological site of Angkor and it's an advantage that it's not in the centre of the very busy city of Siem Reap! Our room was big with 2 king size beds. The most I liked it's the cleanness of the whole hotel (not only our room was perfect clean) and the very kind and professional staff. Breakfast buffet is huge and the restaurants offer excellent meals. We stayed in 4 more beautiful hotels in Cambodia, but this is surely the best.

We stayed for two night in February and had a wonderful time. Our room was great - although twin beds - worth specifying if you want a double. But we didn't mind for two nights. A few things left an impression: great shower pressure, clean, modern rooms, lovely staff in the pool area and really helpful people on reception, fantastic chocolate martinis and great spa facilities. Expect to pay more for the ambiance and professionalism in comparison to the $6 massage in the town centre. You can easily walk to town if you don't mind the heat so all in all - we'd stay again! Best to book in advance - we got our room for £40 a night which is more expensive than many hotels in the area but worth it!

We stayed for 3 nights after being upgraded from a 3-star hotel by our tour company (which was a pleasant surprise). The hotel was in a great location, not far to the main attractions of Angkor Wat and just a short tuk tuk ride ($2-$3) to the town area. It would even be a nice walk to town if it hadn't been so hot! We were very impressed with the hotel and staff who were always friendly and polite. We had no problems booking in, but we did have a Cambodian guide which no doubt made it easier. The room was decent in size, clean and comfortable. The bathroom was clean and well equipped although slightly on the small size. The pool area was very well maintained and clean. Breakfast was good with plenty of choices. The first morning we found it very busy and difficult to get a seat, so next day we went earlier and had no problems. We didn't have dinner at the hotel, but the restaurants always seemed to have people in them. However, we did have dessert on two occasions and the food and service was good. The only problem we encountered at the hotel was that on the second day, we returned to our room at 5pm (after being gone since 8.30am) and found that our room had not been cleaned or new bath towels left. A phone call to housekeeping and the bathroom was soon cleaned and refreshed. No explanation was given as to why it hadn't been done during the day as our children were in another room close by and their room had been cleaned. If they had not missed cleaning our room, the cleanliness rating would have been excellent. We enjoyed our stay there and would definitely stay again if we were to return to Siem Reap.

One of the original 4 star hotels in Siem Reap, the Tara still ranks amongst the best hotels despite the recent hotel boom. The hotel is conveniently situated half way between Siem Reap town and the entrance to the Archealogical Zone. The main lobby of the hotel is light and airy, and the two wings of the hotel make a natural atrium-like area where you can take breakfast outside. At the end of this atrium-like area is a small but comfortable pool area with loungers for sun bathing etc. The restaurants provide excellent food at reasonable prices, and prehaps the secret of the Tara's success is the friendliness and willingness of the hotel staff. The rooms are well equipped and the hotel provides four computers with free internet access for guests to use in the lobby.The concierge and door staff are most helpful in planning trips and arranging transportation. All in all a very comfortable hotel and a "home-from-home"
