Monthara Angkor Residence

Absolutely loved our stay here. Out of all of our accommodations across SE Asia this one was the best. The room was extremely clean and very spacious. The beds were comfortable, and the bathroom was highly impressive.

The only thing that we had a problem with in our short stay was the shower. Although they had a rain shower head, which is not one of mt favorites, the drain to the shower did not work properly. The shower filled with water very quickly, and showers had to be taken with speed to avoid possibly flooding the rest of the room. Our stay was a quick one so the staff couldn't have fixed it before our depature but their response upon depature was great and hope that it was resolved for the next guest.

good location, friendly staff, reasonable price

Really spacious rooms, very comfortable, all the staff were very friendly and welcoming.

A small hotel/residence offering all you need. They only serve breakfast. Nice rooms at very affordable prices. Staff are very friendly. Central location and very quiet during the day and at night.

everything you need for a short stay... breakfast was limited but was OK...same couple of things each day... calm place ...just love the rooster at 4am....

nothing it was a good stay

It is a small hotel in the center of Siem Reap. East to get many restaurants and the Old Market.

It’s in a neighborhood, so you do get a little noise.

The location meant that we were a 10 minute walk from most places we wanted to be. Foodcarts, shopping, markets, restaurants are all just outside your door. The Cambodian people are friendly and humble. The staff will bend over backwards to help you have the best stay possible. We included breakfast which they make to order and it was delicious.

My daughter and I found the beds to be firmer that what we’re used to. We had just come from Vietnam and are now in Bangkok, and this seems to be the norm in general. Not a criticism, just an adjustment.

We stayed 3 nights and loved our large room. The property is in a great location, 5-10 mins walk to Pub Street & there’s a great cafe across the road. The staff were exceptional, friendly & efficient. Enjoyed the breakfast too.

The beds were hard.TV didn’t work but we weren’t bothered so only reported it after checking out. The pool is undercover, just off of/open to reception so we didn’t use it. Instead we paid $7 each to get a day pass to the Two Seasons rooftop pool (few mins walk away) which included a drink at the bar.

The location is excellent. but access road is a bit tricky. From one side, it’s smooth. From another side it’s a bit bumpy but very short distance. Highly recommend for those wanna visit pub street as it is just walking distance.

The reception floor is a bit slippery. I asked for one big single bed and got confirmation via email that they can offer it. But when I arrived, I got two single beds. Not big issue anyway.

Location and really good price. Early booking.

Our driver/guide Kim Hong was wonderful, very friendly and very knowledgeable about all the wonders of Siem Reap. His English was excellent and he was always punctual. He provided us with bottled water on long, hot days. I’d recommend him highly

Staff member on duty could not speak passable English. Was unable to explain anything to us or answer basic questions A woman across from the hotel was screaming at night

Staff is really kind....everything is very close (You can reach markets, Pub street by foot...)

Noisy nights, couldn't get too much sleep. Not very good in english....

We really enjoyed the location as well as the design and size of the room. The staff are very kind and the place is quiet for the most part. The major areas of siem reap can all be reached by foot in less than 15 minutes and there are plenty of restaurants, grocery stores, pharmacies and so on in the close vicinity. The AC works well and hot water is always available. The pool, even though we did not use it, seemed to be well maintained and looked inviting in general. They offered to arrange some tours to Angkor wat and picked us up from the bus terminal wich booth went very well and the place seems very trustworthy. Also the area sees fairly few street dogs and seems safe and secure in general. The absence of a main road in front of the hotel is great for noise reduction. We felt very cared for and comfortable at this hotel and for the right price would absolutely visit again.

Basically we only encountered two things that were not to our liking: 1. None of the staff members speak good English some of them next to nothing. I understand that you cannot expect everyone to be good at another language but when working almost exclusively with foreign tourists I would argue that some basic English skills are useful and could massively improve the guest experience. It should be noted though that even with limited communication the staff seems to be very motivated. 2. The hotel and especially the room we had promise a relatively premium feel. However even though the room in itself is great this particular sense of quality is lacking. The bathtub has some damage to it making it seem as if it was not cleaned properly, the shower takes up to 5 minutes to start getting warm, the room is poorly insulated, some lights are broken or in a different shade of white than others, the tiles on the floor are scratched and stained from lime, and so on… None of these “problems” are anything that I would mention at a hotel charging the rates that we paid but the regular rate of this place starts getting close to some much more premium hotel chains so I will hold it to the same standards. In conclusion: if you can get a good deal on the rooms it is an absolute recommendation but don’t book it at full fare expecting the same kind of comforts that you would have in a discounted premium hotel.

I like that it's a quiet little space, nestled in the neighbourhood with local houses just across the street. There is also a laundry shop a few minutes walk away and plenty of cafe/food options across the road.

Unfortunately, the room we had was pretty dusty, with white powdery dust all over the floor. There's no door to the shower, which can get very cold and the water takes a while to hear up.

Staffs are frindly. Loctaion is good. The room is big and bathroom is big. Value for money. It is clean.

It is loctaed in a side street and has no sign (it being in a rsidential neighbourhood). So it is a bit difficult to find the first and second times. There is no lift. So if you stay on the four floor, it may be tough with the luggages.

Very good tuk tuk driver Kimhong provided by hotel for Angkor tour. I would recomend to ask for him.

poor light at night in hotel room

The bath was insane!The staff were brilliant!

Breakfast let it down big time.

This was an absolute 5 star experience! The hotel staff were friendly and helpful and always ready to assist. Our room was spacious, smelled amazing and had a very comfortable bed with extra soft bedding! Location was perfect for us, just a short walk away from the city center. Without hesitation I would stay here again next time!

Frendly personal

Roosters under window, not same room as pictured

Great location, beautiful rooms, helpful staff

Our shower was cold for 2 days, even with hot water from taps.
