Hot spring Hotels in Siem Reap

We stayed at 4 hotels in Siem Reap on this trip and we both agree this was the best. The room was large with oversized soft bed and strong ac. Words just can’t describe the pool…biggest we have seen in our lives. It’s so relaxing to just swim around the whole thing. Breakfast was our best at this hotel as well. 100% loved it and would return.

Great Hotel with free breakfast and huge rooms. All in all a very nice property. Very responsive service. Getting to any tourist spots is zero issue as they can either coordinate the tour for you, or if you want to go it solo there is usually one to three Tuk Tuks parked outside. (I use the Grab App essentially Uber and Uber Eats in one app) Pub street is a nice short walk away if you don’t mind the heat. There is a business across the street that does laundry and they are a beautiful family. Sweet people. They return your laundry folded and wrapped in plastic for you. Great experience in general and I will stay here again.

Close to the airport, the chartered driver said it was a five-star hotel, the place where the checkin was antique, the hotel was Cambodian-style, the room furniture was wooden, there was a large balcony, the room was reasonably sized, the bedding was very good, comfortable The water in the shower room is slow and easily leaks out. The lobby restaurant, swimming pool and spa area are all Cambodian style, suitable for leisurely enjoyment of vacations. It is not necessary to travel without a car, and it is a little far from the attractions.

Likes: (1) Excellent location - close to amenities yet nestled in a quiet, shady locale. (2) Chic and modern contemporary hotel design. (3) Room and common areas were generally well maintained and clean but wear and tear is showing in some places. Dislikes: (1) No more free round trip airport transfers since new Siem Reap Airport (SAI) opened in October 2023. (2) Bed was flimsy and provided no back support. (3) If your room faces the garden, the view is quite nice during the day. However, the downside of garden facing rooms is that on weekends, the noise from a live show in a nearby establishment permeates the room. This noise lasts until 12 midnight(!). So please beware. (4) During breakfast, the egg station was located in an outdoor area behind a sliding glass door - it might get overlooked by some guests. (5) Due to cost considerations, the air-conditioning in lobby is usually not switched on despite the sweltering weather. This is a phenomenon common in Cambodian hotels and apartment building, not just Somadevi Residence.

The hotel is quite big, the breakfast is plentiful, and the swimming pool is good. The room is a bit old

The hotel is very well maintained. It is well maintained. The front office staff is very enthusiastic and the waiters will greet you proactively. The breakfast variety is a bit limited. The juice is not freshly squeezed, but tastes like cheap sugar water, which is a minus point. But the fruits are good. There are more European and American tourists, and fewer Chinese. The swimming pool feels great, like a resort hotel. I stayed three times in 2016, 2019, and 2024. I will come again.

The first night I was put in a room with an air conditioner that was running but never cooled. The next room had a family of very loud people that went most of the night. The staff is friendly and attentive, but obtrusive. I was moved to another room which had excellent air conditioning and was comfortable. I have lived extensively in SE Asia and am familiar with the culture. However, always being asked,”Where are you going,” or “What are you doing?” Made me feel very uncomfortable. Simply tell guests that if they need anything or have any questions to please ask, instead of feeling interrogated each time I walked in and out of the hotel. The girl that served in the dining room had a warm smile and was very kind and she always tried to serve well and did great. The days she was off, it was an uncomfortable awkward experience just trying to have a simple breakfast. Just trying to get salt or getting condiments so that I could eat my food while it was hot, was almost impossible. As an exercise swimmer, the pool was very unclear at first. I asked if it could be cleaned and their was resistance to do so. Eventually it was cleaned and later it was much better. I booked my room for two and my girlfriend was only able to be with me part of the time. One evening when I walked into reception with her, the guy was rude and disrespectful and interrogating us both. It was a very uncomfortable and unacceptable situation. I had booked it for two weeks. Two days before I left, one evening, there was a rat running on the soffit near the ceiling. I didn’t complain about it because my stay was nearly finished and I don’t know what they would even try to do to remedy the situation. The balconies are nice and overall it was quiet and peaceful.
