Hotels near Tonle Om Gate (Southern Gate), Siem Reap

As part of a tour, we spent four nights at the Sokha Palace Hotel, which was overall a nice place to stay. Pros: The complex is quite large, with a very nice pool (not that we spent any time in it). The rooms are spacious and nicely appointed (including a couch, desk, mini-fridge and bathrobes). Many rooms (including ours) have a balcony, but it was too hot to actually spend any time on it. The dining room was huge, with both indoor and outdoor dining areas. The breakfast buffet was expansive (and sometimes even had cheese, a rarity in Cambodia) and offered made-to-order eggs (including omelets). One night, we had dinner at the hotel (which is also offered as room service). The restaurant on our side of the complex offers only expensive Western food; the restaurant at the other side of the complex offers Asian dishes (at reasonable prices, but with a 25-45 min wait). The latter was tasty, with large portions Initially, our AC wasn't working very well, but they fixed it the first day while we were out, and it worked great after that. The staff were all very friendly. Considering the large size of the complex, we were shocked that the hotel manager greeted us by name several times as we passed by reception over the course of our stay. Drawbacks: For us, the biggest drawback was the remote location. The remoteness did mean that Sokha Palace was generally quiet and peaceful, which was nice (with the exception of the breakfast buffet, which was sometimes filled with large, loud tour groups). And if your only interest is Angkor Archeological Park, then the location is good because the temples are pretty close. But Sokha Palace is far from other popular places in Siem Reap like Pub Street (with its many restaurants), the night market, Phare Circus, 7-11, etc. and nothing is within walking distance. So, on top of paying for transport to/from Angkor Park, you also end up hiring additional tuk-tuks or taxis to get to/from other places in Siem Reap (and spend 15-20 minutes on the rides each way). Another drawback is that while there is theoretically a concierge desk, no one actually staffs it, so you're on your own. (When we asked for advice to hire a driver for a day to see additional sights, the hotel staff had no suggestions other than to book one of the organized tours in a brochure they display.) Unlike the bathroom photos provided by management, our bathroom (see photo) was an awkward layout (with the toilet tucked in an alcove behind the door) and had low lighting at the mirror (making it challenging to apply make-up or put in contact lenses). There was some mold growing in the shower crevices, and twice we found mosquitos in the bathroom (making us wonder if they were breeding in the standing water in the drains). For a tip on rooms, it's best not to be on the ground floor, especially in the hallways leading from reception to stairwells/elevators, as other guests often talked loudly in the hallways (at all hours because some like

The hotel is in excellent shape. The air conditioning is very strong. The rooms are very clean. The hotel's location is near everything. What I'd really like to tell you is that the food is very good and the staff delivers excellent customer service. The breakfast menu includes a soup station, omelets from an egg station, local tastes, lots of fresh fruit, and bread you will love. The hotel restaurant features a ”Happy Hour” and very good pizza and cheeseburgers. Oh, and take it from someone with a great deal of experience with hotels-the staff is very young but they are smart, very enthusiastic, and they deliver outstanding customer service. They speak English very well. It starts at the front desk. They are really on the ball. They can answer any questions about the local town. The concierge staff also does an excellent job. It doesn't stop there. The housekeepers work very hard and show pride in their work as do all of the food service staff. You'll love this hotel. It's the service that makes the difference.

We are booked into the hotel for four nights. The hotel is lovely with an attractive stairway as you enter the hotel. The reception staff were polite, helpful and pleasant. The swimming pool is lovely and good in size. There is a pool bar but services is slow and not very attentive to customers needs. The orchid restaurant serves a varied breakfast. The main restaurant serves lunch and dinner. The food in this restaurant is tasty but be vary as you may not always get what you ordered, e.g. you may be give large prawns instead of lobster that you ordered. The room size is very good. Getting to the main town is easy by tuk tuk and they are easily available.

Lotus Blanc Resort provided a fantastic experience from start to finish. The warm welcome, beautiful landscaping, and comfortable rooms with modern amenities made my stay memorable. Dining was a highlight, with an excellent breakfast buffet and a standout restaurant. The serene pool, top-notch spa, and well-equipped fitness center added to the enjoyment.Conveniently located with helpful shuttle services, exploring nearby attractions was easy. The attentive and friendly staff made the stay even better. Overall, Lotus Blanc Resort offers luxury, comfort, and outstanding service. Highly recommended for a relaxing getaway.

Quiet in the noisy, good service, and overall satisfaction. The room details are very good, and the decoration design is almost a bit relative to the price/performance ratio.

The hotel has beautiful premises inside and outside. It's very clean, and the staff is exceptional. We enjoyed the breakfast very much and especially the noodle soup station where they make everything to your liking; also a variety of delicious bread. It's a good location, about 16 -18 minutes walk to the Pub street or you can take a tuk tuk as there are plenty of them. We preferred walking. We had dinner one night and lunch in the hotel's restaurant and the food was tasty. On arrival we asked to change our room to the one overlooking the garden and pool as the view in the front of the building overlooking the road wasn't that great. We had of course to pay the difference but it was much nicer. It's a shame that the hotel wasn't very full during our stay. We enjoyed staying 4 nights there and definitely would recommend this hotel.

Very nice hotel, primarily because of the staff that works there. There are only 30 rooms in the hotel. The rooms are large, beds are big but seemed not very comfortable, good shower. Our room was on the 5th floor, but because of the noise at night we asked to change the room and we were moved without problems. The breakfasts are not that luxurious but acceptable. The pool and sky bar is the highlight of this hotel, it was great to spend time there. The sunsets were incredible. Thank you to all the hotel staff for taking care of us.

The room is big and clean with all the facilities. Both rooms have been upgraded to pool view rooms for free, and the price of classified bicycles and mountain bikes is reasonable. Tea bags were topped up upon our request. The location is quiet, but you can walk to Pub Street for 15 minutes or take a five-minute tuk tuk for $2. Complimentary 30-minute foot massage and cocktails. That's fine, good variety for breakfast - not high quality pastries, but we can live with complaints. The beds were comfy, the air conditioning worked well, and the staff were nice. Two swimming pools are not bad for a small hotel. The hotel has no so-called privileges. All facilities are shared. But even our super picky son thought this hotel was great. Definitely recommend.

We had the best time ever at The Embassy Angkor! The rooms are beautiful with the most comfy bed we had all vacation. The breakfast is delicious and the pool is so nice we could stay there for days. We were also very impressed with Rin, Lucky, Morning star and the rest of the staff who were always very kind and helpful. Overall highly recommended and we would love to come back

I rarely take time to write detailed reviews but I wanted to share my truly unforgettable experience at The Royal Family Suite by Memoire Palace Resort & Spa. Nestled amidst the vibrant city, the hotel stands out as the epitome of luxury and hospitality. Impeccable service (a special thank you to the manager, John), exquisite, carefully thought out design (you can literally swim from your balcony), and outstanding amenities, I genuinely believe Memoire Palace Resort & Spa has established itself as the premier destination for travelers seeking an unforgettable experience in Siem Reap. Some of my favorite parts about the hotel and experience in general were: Interior & Exterior Architecture: A harmonious blend of traditional Khmer influences and contemporary elegance creates a truly breathtaking atmosphere. The attention to detail in the interior design, with its lavish furnishings, excellent choice of lighting, and unique artistic touches, elevates the overall experience to new heights. The room was spacious, elegantly furnished, and equipped with state-of-the-art amenities. The plush bedding, tranquil ambiance, and panoramic views create an oasis of relaxation. The Exceptional Service: One of the standout features of Memoire Palace Resort & Spa is its commitment to providing exceptional service to its guests and the environment. The staff members are attentive, courteous and go above and beyond to meet every guest's needs. The manager even made an effort to visit me at the gym as he could not greet me at the reception. The hotel's staff is truly dedicated to creating a seamless and memorable stay for each visitor. In addition, the commitment to a plastic-free experience was impressive - there was literally none in all the facilities. They should be commended. Culinary Options: Memoire Palace Resort & Spa boasts an impressive array of dining options, each offering a unique culinary experience. From traditional Khmer delicacies to international flavors. The Stage 1960 had an impressive menu with imported meats I doubt can be found elsewhere; breakfast every morning was beautiful with the freshest local ingredients to create innovative dishes; even the room service, typically an afterthought, was thoughtful with something for everyone. Location: The Royal Family Suite by Memoire Palace Resort & Spa is ideally located. The hotel is a stone's throw away from the magnificent Angkor Wat, allowing guests to easily explore the UNESCO World Heritage site. Additionally, it's only a 2-minute ride to the bustling Old Market and the vibrant Pub Street, providing convenient access to local markets, shops, and lively nightlife. Tuk-tuk drivers are on standby outside the hotel so there is no wait In summary, Memoire Palace Resort & Spa is a beacon of luxury, hospitality, and elegance in Siem Reap. I have yet to find a flaw! Whether you are a business traveler, family, or here for a honeymoon - I highly recommend choosing this resort when booking your accommodation in Siem Reap!
