I had a pleasant stay overall, but the location was less than ideal for a solo traveler like myself. While the staff were incredibly friendly and arranged reliable tuk tuks to explore Siem Reap, the dining options nearby were limited and expensive. My room was clean and comfortable, but I was disappointed with the amenities provided, such as the lack of outlets in the dormitory. The hotel has great potential, but it could benefit from some improvements.
