Hotels near Psar Chaa - Old Market, Siem Reap

Honestly, it feels way more like a boutique hotel than a regular backpacker hostel.The whole place has this super cute, modern ”Khmer chic” design with bright colors, lush plants, and tons of spots that are perfect for your feed.The ultimate highlight? The huge swimming pool with a literal swim-up bar!It is the best place to chill with a cocktail after walking around temples all day.The dorms are next-level comfy too. They are pod-style, super clean, and use actual stairs instead of those annoying, squeaky metal ladders.Plus, the bathrooms are huge and have hair straighteners!Location-world, it’s just a 5-minute walk to Pub Street, so you are close to the nightlife but can still get a peaceful night's sleep.

I was extremely satisfied with our stay and would wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone planning a trip to Cambodia. First and foremost, the service was exceptionally attentive. Despite being a bit of a distance from Pub Street, they offered free tuk-tuk service, which only required a reservation. Furthermore, whether we were checking in, checking out, or simply returning to the hotel for a short break, staff members would always greet us at the entrance with jasmine-scented cold towels and iced water. The dining experience was also unforgettable. The chef was particularly kind and engaging, always interacting with us after serving the food to ask if it was to our liking. On mornings when we had to rush for our itinerary, the hotel staff would proactively pack the food we needed, including two delicious iced coffees, which was incredibly thoughtful. Lastly, the in-room experience was fantastic. Even though air conditioning isn't common in many places in Siem Reap, the hotel consistently ensured our room was perfectly cool, making for a truly pleasant stay. I only wish I had brought more cash to give the staff more tips to thank them for their hard work and dedication.

At Metta Residence & Spa, what makes the experience truly special is not only the beautiful property itself, but above all the people who work there. The staff stand out through their exceptional attentiveness, genuine warmth, and remarkable kindness. From the very first moment, you feel welcomed and well cared for, as every request is met with a smile and a personal touch. It is this combination of a lovely setting and heartfelt service that makes a stay there so memorable.

The reviews and photos are very consistent, and since the night bus arrived super early, I could relax by the pool. The room and bathroom were both very spacious. Breakfast was a set menu, and the taste was decent. The service attitude was excellent, and it offered great value for money. The downside is that you can't shower after checking out. It's about 2 km from the lively night market, so you'll need to take a tuk-tuk to get around.

Overall, it was very good. The staff were attentive and the hotel has its own massage services and restaurant. When there are fewer guests, breakfast is served as a set menu, but when it's busy, it's a buffet. The set menu is especially delicious.

Unfortunately, I didn’t take many photos during our stay as it wasn’t worthy. The hotel was okay, but the welcome was disappointing. After travelling for five weeks through Vietnam and Cambodia, this was the only hotel that didn’t offer a welcome soft drink or a particularly warm greeting, which set the tone for our stay. We had to wait for our room to be ready even at 2pm, so we spent some time by the pool. While the pool area was pleasant enough, the hotel overall is in need of updating. The photos on the website make it look far more modern and inviting than it actually is. In reality, the furniture, curtains, and interiors felt very dated and worn. Although the hotel was advertised at an 80% discount, I still feel that what we paid was slightly overpriced. In my opinion, this is more of a three-star property rather than a five-star hotel.

4-Star Luxury Hotel for the Backpacker Price of $40/night! The first thing you notice about Sokha Palace Siem Reap Hotel is just how pretty it is! The architect, painters, decorators and maintenance staff did a fabulous job (see my photos). The second thing you notice is how delicious the huge buffet is – including free espresso drinks. Third, you notice that the rooms are not only nice but that everything works well (aircon, hot water showers, refrigerator, wifi, and cable TV with news channels from a half dozen countries like CNN). Fourth, it is in a quiet location less than 15 minutes from Angkor Wat, and only a $2 tuktuk ride to Pub Street or anywhere else in Siem Reap. But then you notice the best part: the outstanding hotel staff. For example, the Front Desk Manager Phyrun personally helped me when I could not make my room keycard work, and even brought me a bucket of ice. Originally I booked five nights during Chinese New Year with Trip.com discounts for $39/night, but he gave me a free upgrade from a garden view double with king bed to a pool view room. I liked it so much I wanted to extend, but the best I could find online was $41/night garden view, $51 for pool view. I asked Phyrun if I could get the upgrade again if I bought the $41 online, and he said no – but he smiled and said he would give it to me for $40/night the Khmer rate instead (normally $50 for barangs like me)! The restaurant had other examples of great staff. Some days the restaurant is overflowing with several hundred guests, other days only a few dozen. Yet they maintain the quality and personal touch from the egg and soup station, to the bountiful buffet, to the waiters and waitresses that clear the tables. The Restaurant Manager Somedy and his Assistant Manager Chhaiya keep it all flowing smoothly. Even on the busiest day, waitress Chanthla took the time to show my Khmer friend’s elderly stepmom the way they fold the napkins. Today the espresso machine was not working for a while, so Chhaiya offered to have a waiter drive over to the sister hotel to bring me lattes. I repeatedly declined, but was very impressed by the excellent customer service attitude. So the real beauty of this French chateau style hotel is its employees, including very efficient housekeeping and grounds staff. I checked out the “5-Star” Sokha Resort on the other side of its convention center, but did not like it half as much (especially for 70% more per night). Normally I would be afraid to write a review of a hotel that I like so much, but with 456 rooms I don’t have to worry about it being full. Do yourself a favor and stay here when in Siem Reap.

Nice, cozy, quiet hotel. There is a small swimming pool, a recreation area, a mini bar. There are two sections on the floor, two rooms in each section. Each section has a recreation area designed for two rooms, a large refrigerator, a cooking area. But there are no utensils for cooking. The room is large, spacious, the bed is comfortable, high and soft, there is local lighting, which is very convenient.

Just perfect, from A to Z. The kind of hotel you would recommend to anyone and the kind of hotel you would come back with no hesitation. Beside the great infrastructure, the staff is just so professional and so kind. They are full of great advise, they anticipate your needs, they go the extra miles. The restaurant (we experienced breakfast and dinner) is delicious. Everything is home made (jam, sorbet,…), tasty, well seasoned. Rare to mention, we haven’t been able to find any downside. Last but not least, price are reasonable for this level of comfort and this level of service. In a nutshell, we highly recommend this boutique luxury hotel (only 25+ rooms), a true hidden gem.
