Maison 557

We had the most wonderful stay at Maison 557. The owners and staff were so friendly and kind, they not only helped with activities around the area but gave us an insight to life in Siem Reap. Chef Mengly and his staff create the most delicious Cambodian food in Siem Reap. It was such a bonus to have PinakPou restaurant in the Maison. It’s a must to eat here. Be sure to do the cooking class with Chef Mengly, you wont be disappointed. We were fortunate to enjoy a day in the village with Mengly and his family, fishing and a picnic in the rice fields. A day to remember. The location is very central with a short walk to the riverside night markets, yet one feels miles away tucked under the trees in Maison 557. Tours to the temples are easy from here. We extended our stay here to 8 nights we enjoyed it so much. We will be back! It was an all round fantastic stay. Thank you Maison 557 and PinakPou staff!

Location, staff, ambience

Lake of lighting in room very dark

Centrally located, yet very quiet, this 8 room hotel has the friendliest, most accommodating staff and large rooms. The outdoor shower is huge and the weather is perfect for it. The bed is huge and I slept very well. The breakfast is made to order, or you can pre-order it the morning before if you have an early tour. In all, highly recommend.

The made to order breakfast can take a while, even if you order something simple like a sandwich (took half an hour), so schedule accordingly.

It is my third stay in this hotel. I like the location, the gardens. The owners are nice and hard working. There is also their cute dog friendly to everyone.

Sadly, this time, I have been disappointed. I got a room right on the street, very noisy, between two loud restaurants. Small details but important for a traveller: plugs that did not work, towels with holes in them, dirty toilets when I arrived, no kettle. I asked for toilet paper, and this was never given to me, and I had to find some by myself at 11pm when I realised that. There used to be a delicious breakfast, which is now not included anymore in the price: for a "bed and breakfast", I feel this makes no sense anymore. So, instead,I went to the delicious French bakery next door.

Very clean, modern room and lovely open plan bathroom. Beautiful soaps and bathroom kit provided, good overhead shower. Overall good ambience in the restaurant and bar area out the front. We managed to pre-order our breakfast as we were leaving early the next day which was really helpful. Central location, 5 mins away from most things (apart from Angkor Wat, 15 mins) and places to eat and minimarkets a short walk away. Really pleased with our stay for the price!

We only stayed for 1 night so didn't get to use the pool. There is no door for the bathroom in case this is something that bothers you (again, was doable for us for only 1 night!)Our bed was very high up (2x mattresses) could do with a nightstand to put phone on.I think our room was closest to the restaurant and could hear pots clanging from the kitchen at night and the music continued until around 11 even though no-one was there, could've been turned down for us but I'm nitpicking a bit here!! We would stay here again.

Location is convenient. Friendly and welcoming staff.

Cleanliness can be improved. It’s hard to feel comfortable in a property that’s not clean.

The owner and staffs of the hotel were extremely friendly. They were actively contacting me before my arrival to make sure they were ready to welcome me. The check in process was very smooth. They have a super cute and playful dog. The room is basic yet comfy. The neighborhood is right in the city center of Siem Reap, many good restaurants and cafes are within 5 minutes walking distance.

The facilities inside the room were not too many. I didn't get a hairdryer, toilet paper ran out on the third night and because all the staffs were off work I couldn't ask for help.

As per previous reviews, the bed was extremely hard, but it was ok for us. We were very lucky and had excellent service as there were not many bookings at the time we were there. Having your own pool was magnificent, but see other comments about the privacy, but that didnt bother us.

The wifi was very hit and miss.

Everything was fine. Twin beds provided comfort for my friend and myself. I had a health episode to which the staff responded quickly and admirably.

Lighting fixtures were positioned a bit oddly.

Lovely staff, central location, great restaurant.

Music in bar was a bit dated.

Room:Our stay in the hotel was very comfortable. The room was spacious, offering enough space to accommodate an additional bed for a child. The bed itself was large, ensuring a good night's sleep. The presence of two air conditioning units kept the room pleasantly cool. The bathroom was equally spacious, providing ample room to move around. One of the highlights was the private pool, which was quite large and a perfect way to cool down after exploring the temples. The hotel also provided filtered drinking water at the breakfast area, allowing us to refill our water bottles conveniently. Overall, the room felt homely and welcoming.Breakfast:The breakfast menu was simple but satisfying. While it wasn't an extensive spread, the quality of the food was good, making for a pleasant start to the day. They even provided breakfast in a take-away box when we had to leave early for our flight. Hospitality:The hospitality at the hotel was exceptional. A special mention goes to Kimyon and team, who was remarkably quick in attending to all our requests. The taxi and tuk-tuk drivers arranged by the hotel were also commendable; they were not only good in English but also provided excellent service. Security was available during night hours, offering an added sense of safety and assisting guests in crossing the road.Location:The hotel's location was very convenient. It was just a 5-minute walk to Pub Street and the market area, where there were plenty of restaurants and shops. For immediate needs, there was a mini-mart just opposite the road. Additionally, several street food vendors, restaurants, and shops were in close proximity, making it easy to find something to eat or shop at any time.

There were a few areas for improvement. The room and facilities appeared somewhat dated and could benefit from some refurbishment. The towels provided could have been newer. The water pressure in the bathroom could have been better. Additionally, while the breakfast was good, a more varied spread would have enhanced the overall experience.

I have stayed here before and will stay here again. I love the Wat Bo area and Maison 557 offers the bonus of a well-regarded chef!I love the garden environment - especially sitting there and eating the delicious food!

Location - coffee - restaurant - pool - staff - tours

Breakfast, room view

Electric problem

the vibe!- You must consider their guidebook where they put all the nice resyitauramts / bars in neighbourhood!!! - the staff!- inside restaurants

- not as new as it looked in the photos- the pool was not clean-

Stayed for 4 days (March end) at the Suite with Private Pool of Maison 557. The pool was a respite after full day temple hopping around and across Siem Reap. Maison 557, a boutique property is like a gardened oasis in the Wat Bo locality. So the best part is its location and proximity to all the happening places around Siem Reap. It is just a 8-9 mins walk from Pub Street. The staff are courteous, amiable and professional. A shoutout to Gauthier, Joan and team for being perfect hosts and how can I forget Austin, the welcoming and friendly pug at the property whom you can hardly blame for occasionally taking a dip in your pool in the Siem Reap’s sweltering heat. Maison 557 ticked all the boxes from cleanliness to comfort. The suite is spacious, perfectly air conditioned and the wifi is pretty good. Overall had a wonderful time and the suite with pool is highly recommended.

None. Should have extended our stay. :(

Extremely quiet and cozy. Very nice big room, comfortable beds, cool outside shower, great swimming pool and breakfast area. The laundry service was great. Gauthier was very nice and helpful, even giving us restaurant recommendations for our next stop in Phnom Penh.

The toilet doesn't have a door. It's shielded from sight with a half wall, but this just doesn't offer enough privacy.

Hotel has great design, one of that place which stays in your mind. Eating area and pool area is green, calm and relaxing. Great place to stay and feel the vibe.

I had the feeling that the personel has a tendency to forget: to fix AC (37 degree), to clean up our room, to check if the hair drayer fits the power outlet (it doesn't) or how can we use coffee/tea set without kettle, to prepare our breakfast box us promised.It would be perfect place, if the owner cares more.

We visited Maison 557 in Feb. 2024 for one week with the whole family and a little baby. All was perfect prepared and we received an excellent service. The location is very cozy and is in an excellent position close to the city center. Easy transport by TukTuk or GRAB to the historical sizes. Many thanks to our friendly drivers.We had a wonderful time at Maison 557 and would like to thank our friendly hosts!

A little haven in a busy city. The staff were all really friendly and helpful. The airport tuktuk pickup was great and a good way to get straight into the city vibe. It's a central location and you are really spoilt for food / coffee / bar options around there. Everything worked as expected and the room was kept serviced and clean.

Not much, although if my budget had allowed I would have chosen a different hotel with access to a gym. I am a keen runner and I soon discovered it's difficult to run in the city.
