Rottanak Hotels with Bars

The hotel is in the downtown area, the surrounding facilities are complete, and there are many snacks and food stalls outside at night. The facilities in the hotel are old, and the room will have a little musty smell when entering the door, but fortunately it is relatively clean.

We stayed here for 2 nights, it was a very lovely hotel with wonderful staff. We started in a villa which was very spacious and a hot tub outside in our own private garden area. The breakfast was really good and croissants were as good as you get in France. The location was really good, and close to a really good pizza place in walking distance. Thank you for a wonderful stay

Accommodation date: 23-Nov-2019 (1 night only) Positive: The whole room, including bathroom, is clean and the wifi connection is good. What I love the most is that the balcony faces the river which is quite refreshing and does not make me feel stuffy at all. The hotel is located in the city center which is so convenient and if you are travelling from Phnom Penh, you may ask the driver to drop you near the bridge which is only about 850 m to the hotel. You do not need to cross the bridge or ride until you reach the transportation company at all because most those companies are located at least 1.5 km from the hotel. Negative: The pool area is quite old and not very clean and the male staff does not really friendly. The sky bar is quite crowded sometimes and most of the customers there are not staying at this hotel. Some tips: There are Grab and Passapp (online transportation) available in the city, but it is difficult to find during night time, from 9 pm onward. Also, make sure NOT to hold your phone or any valuable items carelessly during the ride because thiefs would grab it.

We were enticed by the direct email pitch from Bambu Hotel to book the ”Suite (Premium Room)” at $120 per night, ( discounted to $90 if we booked direct ) which was described as offering a modern experience with stunning views. The top tier of three options available at the hotel, however, our experience was far from premium. The ”premium” room was located on the first floor, directly above the bar / restaurant. This resulted in constant noise, with the bar open till 10pm and the common area in use until 2:30 am on one night. The significant issue is that the balcony is in a direct line of cigarette smoke from bar patrons, making it unpleasant for relaxing on. It's far from a peaceful room from a noise level perspective with all bar and restaurant staff and visitor noise and conversation audible from the room if any doors or windows are open.  The room itself was underwhelming and lacked any distinguishing features that would justify its higher price point. From a noise and smell perspective, this would be I suggest arguably the worst room on the property, most definitely not value for money! At $90 / $120 per night, this room is significantly overpriced for Battambang, especially given the many more tranquil and authentic options available in the area. In hindsight, we regret not conducting more thorough research. For future guests, I would strongly recommend avoiding the so-called ”premium” room and considering other options on the property—or elsewhere altogether.
