Hotel Sokhalay Angkor Inn (Siem Reap, Cambodia)

Just a five-minute drive from the Cambodian Cultural Village, this Siem Reap resort scores high for its location. Travellers find the perfect base for excursions to Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom. Guests also choose this hotel for the easy 15-minute drive to Siam Reap International Airport.

Many travellers fall in love with these traditional Khmer-style wooden villas, designed by one of Cambodia's greatest architects, Vann Molyvann. Guests love the ambience created by dark-wood furniture and Cambodian decor within. Views over tropical garden or the hotel's lagoon pool seal the deal.

Often complimented by reviewers, eager employees at this five-star resort constantly impress with their happy demeanour and willingness to assist. Several star-players are mentioned again and again. Travellers often express love for the hotel's Tuk-Tuk drivers, describing them as honest, reliable and friendly.

While reviewers say good things about this residence's lunch and dinner offerings, the breakfast buffet is often a disappointing start to the day. Some travellers find the selection of Asian and Western dishes limited, while others complain about flies landing on the food. ­­

Mobile phones don't always work at this retreat, which is surrounded by tropical vegetation and farmland. The Wi-Fi signal is also said to be weak, with some guests unable to connect for days. Lots opt for checking their emails in Pub Street, a fifteen-minute drive away.

Reviewers often mention being bitten by mosquitos while staying at this tropical resort. Some find windows don't shut properly, others find villas gloomy with everything shut. Reviews suggest staff spray repellent around the property regularly but this seems to have little effect on mosquito numbers.
