Golden Temple Hotel is a True Gem in Siem Reap for an unforgettable stay.
We spent a full week at the Golden Temple Hotel, and I can honestly say it ranks among the best experiences I've had while traveling. As someone who’s stayed in many hotels across different countries, I was truly impressed by the outstanding level of service and quality offered here. Everything was simply impeccable.
Our Twin Bed room was beautifully designed, spacious, and extremely comfortable. The attention to detail in the decor and layout made it a relaxing space to return to every day. Housekeeping was meticulous and done daily with great care. The only minor downside was the walk-in shower, which lacked a handheld showerhead. A small inconvenience for those with long hair, but it hardly detracted from the overall excellence of the room.
The pool and restaurant areas were just as inviting, designed to encourage relaxation and a true sense of escape. The food was excellent, with an impressive variety, especially at the breakfast buffet. We were lucky enough to enjoy a complimentary lunch, and the chef’s dishes were absolutely sublime and worthy of a fine-dining restaurant. Each plate was full of flavor and beautifully presented.
One of the hotel's greatest strengths is its exceptional team. Every staff member we interacted with was professional, warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. A special thanks to Alice, who was incredibly helpful even before our arrival. Her support via WhatsApp was invaluable as she helped us craft the perfect itinerary: 3 days exploring Angkor Park, a full day at Kulen Mountain and the Roluos Group, an Apsara dinner show at Golden Temple Residence, and an evening at Phare, the Cambodian Circus. On top of that, we enjoyed numerous perks: a free 60-minute massage for each of us, a complimentary lunch, and vouchers for discounts at the bar, spa, and more.
Heartfelt thanks also go to Diana, Daneth, Lyshun, Cicy and Karem, whose care and kindness made each day seamless and special. From thoughtful conversations to preparing a surprise fruit birthday cake (even though my birthday had already passed), their gestures deeply moved us. We were even gifted traditional kramas at the end of our stay. Such a beautiful way to conclude the experience that made us emotional!
Thank you as well to Sam and Roth in the restaurant, both incredibly kind and professional, they made every meal a delight. The massage team also deserves praise for their amazing skills. They worked wonders on our sore muscles after long days of exploring.
A special mention to Bon Chem, our guide arranged by the hotel. He was extraordinary: knowledgeable, insightful, and deeply respectful of the cultural and spiritual significance of each site. He guided us through Angkor, Roluos and Kulen Mountain with the perfect balance of history, realism, and calm, always making sure we had the space to enjoy everything at our own pace. I do recommend him if you stay there ! Ask for him, you won’t regret it 🙏🏻
Finally, a sincere thank you to our drivers and all the behind-the-scenes staff whose names we didn’t catch, your efforts didn’t go unnoticed.
In summary, this stay was truly magical. The value for money is incredible considering the services and benefits provided. The Golden Temple Hotel is a reliable, professional and peaceful oasis. I live in Cambodia and will definitely return with family and friends for future holidays. Golden Temple Hotel is an absolute must!
