Hotels near Wat Ek Phnom

I just stayed here for three nights and was very pleased with the hotel, which only has about 16 rooms centered around a pool in a garden setting. The rooms were quiet, clean and very large, and the upstairs rooms have large balconies that are a great place for having drinks at the end of the day. The pool was well maintained and very refreshing after spending a day in a tuk-tuk seeing the sights of Battambang. Breakfast in the restaurant was very good. We had several meals there, both Western and Khmer, which were also delicious. My only complaint is that the don't serve real brewed coffee, only Nescafe. I just can't get used to drinking instant coffee! The location of this hotel is perfect. It's only a 10 minute walk to the central market or the shops and restaurants of downtown Battambang. I did finally find a cafe that served real coffee but unfortunately it was on my last day there. The staff of the hotel were both friendly and efficient, and we arranged our travel back to Phnom Penh through the front desk with no problems. I would give this hotel a solid 4 stars - comfortable rooms, good food and efficient staff. I would recommend this hotel unconditionally to any traveler going to Battambang.

My gf and I decided to stay here to visit family. This place is great for the value. The building is newer than other hotels we have stayed at in the area. The bottom floor cafe's service was great and the food was yummy. Staying at the hotel actually give you 20% off of the bill. This makes the cost of food here cheaper than the street restaurants. The Skybar however was terrible. We had went with our family who are locals. We ordered 4 drinks and 2 meals. The drinks took an hour for all 4 drinks to arrive and the meals took 2 hours to arrive. This all happened while 2 other tables that came after us got their food and ate and left well ahead of the 2 hours. We were very upset about this and eventually we asked for the meals to be canceled and we left. Not sure if they are discriminating against our family because they are darker. I cannot recommend this type of service to anyone. Summary: The hotel/cafe was great (4/5 star). The Skybar was terrible (0/5 star).

We got a nice Tuk Tuk driver, Mr. Bernie (tel:012-910044,email:bernie_sok@yahoo.com). He speaks good English & showed/taught us a lot of extra things on the ways of our 2-days trip. Day 1:Wat Phnom Sampeau, Phnom Banan & Wat Ek Phno; Day 2: Kamping Poy & Bamboo train. We paid him USD20 per day. Mr. Lay, the manager of the hotel managed to get us fixed seats on the Premium Van from Battambang to Phnom Penh. However, it took also SIX hours to arrive, as the driver stopped whenever he wanted and drove crazily. If you don't want to be too excited, drive by BIG bus !!

Only good things to say about this hotel. It's clean, comfortable and the staff are so friendly and helpful. Less than 10mins walk to Street 1, 2 and 3 where the cafes are. If you arrive late Sunrise cafe is just around the corner. You can arrange for a tuk-tuk with the hotel. Only US$5 return trip to the nori/bamboo train which is a must do. It's about 15mins away. Also catch the local circus Phare for US$14 - cheaper than in Siem Reap. A fantastic show with very skilled performers ( no animals used). You can buy tickets at the hotel. The circus is about 10 minutes away by tuk-tuk (US$5 return). They arrange bus tickets as well. So convenient and at standard rates - US$6 to Siem Reap by Mekong Express mini bus which I recommend. I enjoyed my stay at Holiday Hotel Battambang. It's one of the few tall buildings around. So you can get somewhat of a view of the town if you're on the 7th or 6th floor. I'll definitely book with them again.

Our room was very spacious with good quality and useful furniture. The bed was extremely comfortable and the bathroom also very good quality. Staff were always happy and welcoming and even though we never asked for the room to be cleaned housekeeping ladies would make sure we still got our bottles of water for the day which was a very nice service touch. Location is about 10 minute walk to the main tourist restaurants and located next to the river so it is a nice walk. Also if you are coming from Phnom Penh you will probably pass right by it so our driver was happy to drop us right outside. A little bit of construction right now but it caused no issues at all for us.

Starting to realise 3* in Cambodia is not the same as vietnam or Laos, but it's clean, comfy and cheap. Hotel is in a great location to get to everything in the city, and 2 minutes from capitals city centre transfer drop off. Best thing was our tuk tuk driver, chin chin, who is often around the Asia and star hotels. For $25 he took us around the countryside going to fish paste making, rice paper making, rice wine making, clay pot and bamboo stick rice making, the bamboo railway, killing cave and bat caves as well as wat Ek phnom. He was great all day and managed to help us fit in what most people do in 2 days in 1, without anything feeling rushed!

Let's start with the good things about this place... Centralized and accessible to all parts of Battambang. Walking distance to restaurants, shops.. it's right next to the market... what more can you ask for. Rooms are big. Staff are friendly and efficient. Despite being near the market, it's wonderfully quiet at night. Safe too. There's a security guard who stands watch outside (he used to be in the military). .... and now the okay stuff Water sometimes goes from hot to cold... but given the heat of the day it's a welcome blessing. Summary It's worth what you pay for and it's a great place to stay.

The hotel manager is extremely nice. He met us at the boat deck from Siem Reap and gave us a free ride to the hotel. . the hotel location is not too far from the city center. You can leisury walk to the market and all the restaurants. The room is large, clean and has nice bedding. The bathroom has a bathtub. Rent a tuk tuk to go to Wat Pra Saphoueng up in the moutain.

I stayed at Paris Hotel for one night, and it was a last minute booking. The hotel itself is in a great location, close to the central market and bus stations. The building itself is quite old and could use some updating. The room was acceptable, and the a/c was able to keep up with the heat. When I arrived, the room had no towels and toiletries or toilet paper. The plus side is I believe each room has a balcony, but it's usually too hot to enjoy being outside this time of year. Additionally, this hotel does not have wifi. Otherwise, the hotel itself was fine, the staff was friendly.

The staff provided excellent service and recommendations even prior our arrival. We requested for transfer from Siem Reap and also asked for tour recommendation and with booking of a tuk tuk driver. They were super helpful and friendly in accommodating. The hotel is small, but very charming. There is a pool in the middle and an open air dining area, both were quaint and tranquil, perfect after a hot day of sightseeing. We had a great time and highly recommend this hotel.

This is a big and old hotel. I stayed in a budget room and found it super cheap 13-14$ night. Breakfast was buffet style and it was great and loads of choices. I cannot complain as for the price I got so many things. Free gym, although not the cleanest one and some of the equipment broken I had it all to myself and was very pleased with it. The swimming pool is the biggest selling point! HUGE and super clean. There s always staff working on it and making sure it is well maintained! I enjoyed it really nice! There is a massage service up until midnight. I never had one, however, rooms looked clean and nice. Sauna, Jacuzzi and Steam only $3 per use for the guest. I really enjoyed it too. Location wise it was about 1.5 km away from the city centre, however, there are tuk-tuks and motos waiting just outside of the hotel. There is also a lovely HOME cafe just opposite of the hotel. Very nice coffee, wine and food and really nice staff. English not the strongest but please be understanding. I loved the staff there very much! My room was ok. Again for the price, I could not complain about anything. Tv, kettle, AC all working well. There was no hot water, though. I think the heater was broken. I never asked to have it fixed as the water was not too cold after all :). Overall I loved the place! Would definitely stay again!
