Hotels near The Gecko Battambang in Battambang

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Emerald BB hotel. My room was spacious, well-appointed, and impeccably clean. The location of the hotel was also fantastic. It was conveniently situated in the heart of the city, making it easy to explore nearby attractions, restaurants, and shops.

We had a little trouble trying to find the hotel as the location given in the map is incorrect. Luckily our local tuk tuk driver was able to converse with the front desk and quickly brought us to the hotel. We have since wrote in to Google maps to update the hotel location. The hotel is pretty new, rooms are very clean and the stay was pleasant. The hotel is the tallest building in the vicinity, and they have an infinity edge swimming pool and a nice skybar where guest can drink and enjoy music provided by a DJ and live singer. Service is really good, waitress went out of the way to satisfy our request, and all service crew were very polite. The breakfast spread was quite good, we totally enjoyed it.

The location, garden design & architecture, room, breakfast as well as the highly hospitable, helpful and professional staff offered us a wonderful stay in Battambang. The garden is a very skilled creation associating dozens of local plants and trees that provides a relaxing shelter not only for guests but also for birds.

We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of this hotel. The room was well appointed and beautifully decorated. The restaurant served lovely food and good cocktails. The pool area was beautiful (not many sunchairs but I think because people don’t come to Battambang to sunbathe it meant there was always space as people only used their chair for an hour or two). The staff were lovely and did everything to make sure we had a lovely stay.

A couple of small gripes to start. Our room A02 had a floor level bed on a raised platform. Not ideal for two fifty somethings.!! The bathroom shower drainage had its own special route but the non slip floor dries off quickly. The positives - hotel was well located with only a ten minute stroll over the bridge to the centre of town - a nice sized room next to the pool within a lovely garden setting. The pool beds were also very good and pool towels supplied. - a good set menu selection of Asian and European choices for breakfast - we ate two evening meals in the bar/restaurant area which were delicious, both of which were made up of Cambodian local dishes. The real positives - The Staff !!!! Absolutely outstanding service from everybody, from the team on reception organising laundry, extra keys, booking of bus tickets etc to the lady serving breakfast with a smile and freshly cut flowers, to the two girls running the bar / restaurant of an afternoon and evening who were a delight to interact with. Their smiling faces and willingness to have a laugh and a joke with us made our nights great fun. The only miserable person we came across was I believe the actual owner who spent her time patrolling the premises, checking what was going on. No acknowledgement or eye contact made with her paying guests. She should take a leaf out of her staff's book on how to interact with customers. Overall, a great stay. Thanks to everyone concerned.

We were recommended to stay here for our trip to Battambang and we were not disappointed. It was just perfect - beautiful, comfortable, relaxing and welcoming. We ate here a few times and it was delicious! A varied menu to suit everyone. Pat the proprietor was sociable and warm and looked after us brilliantly, as did his staff. We thoroughly recommend this wonderful place, in a great location to get to everything - Tuk tuks are easily arranged if required either through reception, PassApp or Grab - an app where you can arrange your own and often get a good / better price if you’re out and about.

Maison Wat Kor is an oasis of peace and friendliness in a dusty, frenetic area. It's a great spot next to a lily pond; the staff are friendly and seem passionate about promoting their local area and culture. Food was good, including Khmer specialities, and a surprise birthday cake, organised by our guide. My husband said his birthday massage was the best of or 3 month trip. Our room was large and dark, not conducive to hanging out in. And it felt like the decor had seen better days. But hardly surprising, given 2 years of covid hardships! In all a pleasant place to stay.

My second night at Classy Hotel was very good, but not the first night which was really bad -- the air con was not strong enough, and because of a thick comforter, I had a very difficult night, not falling asleep until early in the morning. The twin beds were also very uncomfortable. The next day I was moved into another room, and the air con was very good and the large bed very comfortable, so I slept quite well. The hotel manager later told me that some rooms have weak air cons, which they are fixing -- but why put me in a room with a weak air con at all? In any case, the breakfast is good (though a few too many pork choices), with excellent coffee. And the large swimming pool is nice. WiFi is excellent, the location is great with many eateries nearby. Even though my first night at Classy Hotel was not good, I will likely stay there on my next trip to Battambang -- as long as they put me in a room with good air con and a large bed.

Our bus was supposed to arrive at 6.00 am in Battambang so we didn't plan to book a night for that same day. Instead we arrived at 3.30 am, so we were suddenly in the middle of the night in Battambang. We were lucky enough to find this place. The poor host woke up just for us and got us a room immediately. In a matter of 10 minutes we were already sleeping in our beds, they were our saviours! The room was big and clean, no frills but very comfortable. Definitely super value for money, and really, the hosts were super nice and helpful!
