Hotels Near Smile Angkor Grand Theater in Siem Reap

I really love this hotel that really delicious breakfast and room very tidy and clean and pool very big really nice hotel

4-Star Luxury Hotel for the Backpacker Price of $40/night! The first thing you notice about Sokha Palace Siem Reap Hotel is just how pretty it is! The architect, painters, decorators and maintenance staff did a fabulous job (see my photos). The second thing you notice is how delicious the huge buffet is – including free espresso drinks. Third, you notice that the rooms are not only nice but that everything works well (aircon, hot water showers, refrigerator, wifi, and cable TV with news channels from a half dozen countries like CNN). Fourth, it is in a quiet location less than 15 minutes from Angkor Wat, and only a $2 tuktuk ride to Pub Street or anywhere else in Siem Reap. But then you notice the best part: the outstanding hotel staff. For example, the Front Desk Manager Phyrun personally helped me when I could not make my room keycard work, and even brought me a bucket of ice. Originally I booked five nights during Chinese New Year with Trip.com discounts for $39/night, but he gave me a free upgrade from a garden view double with king bed to a pool view room. I liked it so much I wanted to extend, but the best I could find online was $41/night garden view, $51 for pool view. I asked Phyrun if I could get the upgrade again if I bought the $41 online, and he said no – but he smiled and said he would give it to me for $40/night the Khmer rate instead (normally $50 for barangs like me)! The restaurant had other examples of great staff. Some days the restaurant is overflowing with several hundred guests, other days only a few dozen. Yet they maintain the quality and personal touch from the egg and soup station, to the bountiful buffet, to the waiters and waitresses that clear the tables. The Restaurant Manager Somedy and his Assistant Manager Chhaiya keep it all flowing smoothly. Even on the busiest day, waitress Chanthla took the time to show my Khmer friend’s elderly stepmom the way they fold the napkins. Today the espresso machine was not working for a while, so Chhaiya offered to have a waiter drive over to the sister hotel to bring me lattes. I repeatedly declined, but was very impressed by the excellent customer service attitude. So the real beauty of this French chateau style hotel is its employees, including very efficient housekeeping and grounds staff. I checked out the “5-Star” Sokha Resort on the other side of its convention center, but did not like it half as much (especially for 70% more per night). Normally I would be afraid to write a review of a hotel that I like so much, but with 456 rooms I don’t have to worry about it being full. Do yourself a favor and stay here when in Siem Reap.

If you are a fan of camping/ glamping, this the Jungloo room type is definitely a very satisfying option for your stay in Siem Reap. It is spacious and relaxing. The room is surprisingly clean and pest free, the air-conditioner functions very well that the indoor temperature keeps cool even during at noon, the hottest period of the day. Staffs are super responsive to the guests and I don't need to wait for long time for any requests made. Free ear plug for sleep is provided by the hotel but luckily there is no rain at night during my 5-day stay, we don't have a chance to use them and we slept quite well every night.

As a hotel enthusiast, I have to say Jaya House went above and beyond my expectations and truly represents what a true luxury hotel experience should be. What makes this place above and beyond is the people. From the owner to the managers to the staff, every single person at Jaya House brings their whole, authentic, warm-nature and kind-hearted self to deliver an experience that truly makes you feel welcomed, noticed, appreciated, relaxed and dare I say… ‘loved’. Everyday you are greeted with warm smiles and a ‘ready to help’ attitude. No request is too small or large. At some point, I felt as though I was staying at the Aman. That’s how good the service was and those who know me, know that I’m a tough critic. At the moment, the entire country of Cambodia is still recovering from Covid. Tourism is not back 100% yet so the spa is not open and dinner service is not available. Jaya House will let you know this in advance so you can manage your trip organization. Beyond the service, the rooms are spacious and well maintained. The housekeeping team is so on top of their game, to the point that we had to stop them from replacing the towels after only being used one time. The facilities are beautiful and well maintained. The food is delicious and they make their own tea which is amazing. The location is a bit outside of the ‘center’ and when I say a bit outside, it’s only 1.5km at most… but hey, when you’re in a relaxing mode even a 5 minute tuk-tuk can feel far 😊. Overall - an amazing experience and I cannot wait to go back when the spa is opened.

Room is spacious and quiet. Great location with easy access to town and Angkor Wat/other places. Service people are very gentle and offer assistance /information very helpful for travel and tour. Will definitely recommend family members and friends to come.

Everything is super good! Hotel is well decorated in typical angkor style. clean and beautiful. The room was cleaned every day, free amenities and water were supplied on the daily basis. Staff is helpful and polite with good attitude. Buffet breakfast is OK. Restaurant offering dishes in hotel was also good. Honestly, we were impressed very much. Very good experience of staying in Cambodia with this hotel.

We had a very great experience here ❤️ pretty comfortable and safe! I never rate any hotel before and I can’t wait to write down this comment after my stays!

This hotel is more traditional in terms of design. Breakfast is good and the entire place is nice for picture taking. Our room is facing the pool. The air conditioning and water pressure is extremely good. Location is convenient to go Angkor Wat and Pub Street.

We had an amazing stay here. The service was impeccable, the facilities amazing, everything was more than what we could have expected. The staff was so friendly and had thought of everything before we even needed to ask. The room was very comfortable and clean. The spa was also great, with really good packages. I wish we had more time to enjoy the hotel, but we will be back. I highly recommend this place. Probably one of the best hotels I have stayed at.

Quiet in the noisy, good service, and overall satisfaction. The room details are very good, and the decoration design is almost a bit relative to the price/performance ratio.
