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.

The hotel is located just off the river, which is a nice touch. It's about a 20-minute walk to the city center, but I found tuk tuks readily available for only a couple of dollars.

The staff treated me like family, and the room was clean and spacious, providing great comfort for the money. However, bike rentals could use an upgrade since mine had a flat tire during my outing.
