This attractive hotel, which only opened in 2010, is hidden away, only a short distance from central Battambang. Its rather charming, very tranquil and offers an excellent range of facilities, considering its modest size.

The hotel’s design is based on a traditional Khmer-style house, with several ’boutiquey’ touches added. The decor throughout is easy on the eye, using warm, light colours to combine with a scattering of colourful soft furnishings.

There is a very welcoming central pool and a terrace restaurant, called ‘The Russey’ (meaning bamboo in Cambodian), serving the fresh food from the markets of Battambang.

Room amenities are consistent with the high standards elsewhere in the hotel: satellite TVs, air conditioning and safety deposit boxes. All are beautifully presented and many benefit from a pool view, with balconies on which you can enjoy an al fresco breakfast. Alternatively breakfast can be served in the restaurant or by the pool.

An excellent choice in Battambang.
