Whenever I travel to Siem Reap my first choice of hotel is always Residence Wat Damnak.
The friendly, multi-lingual staff are well trained and always happy to help with anything you require. So you can be guaranteed an enjoyable and relaxing stay.
The hotel itself has a beautiful French-Khmer architectural style, the rooms are very spacious and well presented, with large furnished balcony areas and all the amenities you will need including e.g., quality wi-fi, air-con, refrigerator, fan and hot shower.
There is a restaurant on-site which serves Khmer and international food throughout the day. Along with this there are also various other restaurants and shops in the area covering most requirements.
The larger hotel complex has two large, crystal clear swimming pools to cool down in or relax beside and read a book after a long day's hike around the ancient Angkor temples or the more contemporary markets.
Several markets as well as Pub Street are within easy walking distance alongside and across the river. Tuk-tuks can be arranged from the hotel. Bicycles and motorcycles can also be rented very close by.
