Hotels near Wat Samrong Knong

We stumbled across this hotel, as we had made a mistake in our original booking somewhere else for the wrong moneth! So this hotel was recommended to us by another hotel, and we are glad we stayed there for our 4 days. Battambang is not very big, so most of the major places within the town were within walking distance. The outdoor swimming pool was great, and a big enough size to do some laps. There is enough sun loungers and parasols to relax on during the day. Our delux villa had a lovely pool view balcony, but we didn't use it much as it was nice to take a dip in the pool to cool off (even at night) as the pool is open until 10pm. The room was spacious, as well as the shower room. There was also a huge family sized fridge/freezer, which came in handy to cool our water/drinks/fruit/snacks. There was not much of a selection for breakfast, but the serving sizes were huge. The main thing that stood out for this hotel was the helpful staff. Even although their English wasn't the best, they tried their best to help with our tour needs/questions/transport/etc. For example, on our last day we wanted a car to take us from Battambang to Siem Reap. After a lot of negotiations from the hotel, a driver was found for us, and during our drive to Siem Reap the hotel staff called the driver's mobile to make sure that we were okay and on our merry way safely to Siem Reap. I would thoroughly recommend for people to stay at this newly opened hotel, as we enjoyed our stay here.

The service at Skyway was definitely a pleasant surprise. From the moment we arrived hotel staff were friendly and helpful, showing us up to our room and giving us tons of advice and information about touring Angkor Wat and seeing other places in the city. Because they're a bit out of the city (not that far - still walkable, or a 3 minute tuk tuk ride), they'll drive you into the center each evening for free. And whenever we needed a tuk tuk otherwise, they'd accompany us outside to help us coordinate the price. We coordinated a tuk tuk with them for our final third day at Angkor Wat, and not only did they get us a great price but they provided the driver with a little cooler of ice cold water bottles and chilled face wipes for us to use throughout the day! The breakfast was buffet-style and big, though sometimes you could tell the food had been sitting there for a bit. Fried rice, fried noodles, chicken rice porridge, fried eggs and/or omelet, sausages, tons of fruit, bread/butter/jam, coffee and tea, and probably some other things I'm forgetting. I wouldn't say the facilities were the best I've ever seen, but for the price and the pool and the customer service, totally worth it!

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).

I would definitely stay here again. Next to Night Market, short walk to city centre. Booking tours of Angkor Wat and surrounds was cheaper through the hotel than negotiating with tuk-tuk drivers direct. Breakfast was choice of omelettes or scrambled eggs, cooked to order. Aircond on booking in wasn't functioning properly but was fixed in hours. WiFi was ok, with occasional drop outs. 9/10 overall. Modern, clean, smallish hotel, with extremely well trained staff in customer service with good English also. I'll be back again. The pricing at US$15-20 for the standard of accommodation was fantastic value.

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.

they will tell you everything that you need to know with our any charge ! service was very helpful and great however what we need ! the stuff was very flexible specially the manager was very perfect ! For notice that if you wanna book the bus or boat ticket pls let hotel stuff arrange for you cos you will get the cheaper price then outside and also the tuk tuk service , pls ask reception desk then they will advice you about the best price with good guide speaking english ! Everything was wonderful in banan hotel !!!!!!!!!! I wish to stay there again for my trip ! ooppp they will have swimming pool soon !!!!

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.

You get off the bus directly opposite the Star Hotel- no need for a tuktuk. The staff are very friendly and speak good English. We asked to be moved from our 'no window' room and they moved us happily to a huge room with big windows. The beds are very comfortable, the shower is electric but is hot and powerful. There is no lift but the staff took our cases up for us. The hotel is clean and we really enjoyed our staff - we would stay there again. Very good value for money. There are lots of good places to eat a short walk away - approx 10 mins. We had a fantastic two days with a tuktuk driver(and his wife)- and our last surprise from him was swimming in local river with village children. He is lovely, we took them on the bamboo train - a fun experience, he made our experience in Battambang unforgettable - ask reception at The Star to ring him for you. and please take his wife she is so sweet and lonely without him.

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.

It is my 2nd time that I face the issue with staffs in that hotel. They don't give priority to customers who book via Agoda . Agoda display the room description twin bed with pool view. And my booking Is successfully confirmed but while I reach the hotel staffs want send me to other building without pool view. Then I said no I can't accept it as my booking confirmed pool view why you change me to other room? Then finally after my complaint he agreed to keep me in room with pool view. Per my understood they want to keep pool view room for walk in customers as they can make up the price as they want . I would suggest Agoda review this with the hotel and fix the issue

The staff was really nice. One shorter, upbeat guy in particular who had strong English. Rest of staff was kind, and their English was basic, but they are trying very hard. Room were clean with hot water. Definite good value for the room and once they have a restaurant or more eateries near by, it will be perfect. They offer free drives into town and then you can walk back, which isn't bad. It was a 10-15 minute walk and always felt safe. Bus transfer is convenient to book through them, but by booking it direct with the company 5 min walk down the street, saved us a bit. I'm not sure about the longer full-day tours, but for the half-day tour involving the bamboo train, "lake", and caves, they might want to reevaluate it. Other drivers offered to take us to more places for the same price, but we had already agreed to it. They also make it seem like you will have a tour guide, but we really only had an English-speaking driver. There is definitely a difference. The "lake" is not worth wasting time at.
