Residence Wat Damnak

Quiet cozy hotel not far from Old Market n Pub street. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. Our first room had issues with the AC, when they couldn't fix it, they promptly moved us to a better room. Room itself is serviceable. Don't expect 5 star luxury for a 3 star price. U get a comfy bed, working hot water shower and a few other amenities. Breakfast is good. They have a rotation of carbs (fried rice/noodles/potatoes), veggies, fruits, juices, and a egg station. More than sufficient to get you loaded up before you head out. The staff are definitely the stand out stars. From reception to breakfast staff, they seek to please and always greet you whenever you pass by. 5 star hospitality for sure. Highly recommended if you're looking for a quiet room but don't want to be too far from town, and don't mind skimping on a few luxuries.

The hotel has some positives, such as a very good free Wi-Fi, and its location in the Siem Reap Central Area is very convenient for sightseeing, especially for visiting Angkor Wat. The price is reasonable for what you get.||However, my experience was mixed. The check-in process was chaotic, and I was initially given the wrong room (ground floor, very dull and noisy) the first night, this was corrected after my request and I was moved to the proper room on the first floor. The room had a huge balcony and felt very airy and pleasant. However, you do need to be physically very fit to reach the first floor, as the stairs are very steep with high steps.||Unfortunately, the bathroom was not very clean, which was disappointing. Breakfast was very basic and lacked variety. There was a lot of staff around all day long, friendly, but most of them seemed more focused on their phones than on paying attention to service details.||Overall, the hotel is okay if you are looking for an affordable option in a good location, but expectations should be kept modest|.|**Tip:** The neighboring Rambutan Hotel (less than one minute walking distance) has a much better pool, significantly better service, and an absolutely fantastic restaurant, and would be my recommendation instead.

Finally we found a treasure in Sein Reap. We were met by very friendly and helpful staff. They assisted with arranging several tours with their Tuk Tuk driver, Mr Sochea. He was the best guide you could ever have and looked after us for 3 days. Our room was beautiful with a large comfortable balcony overlooking a stunning pool and gorgeous tropical garden. It was in the original hotel which was full of character and charm. The only thing I did not like was the steep steps up to room.|Overall a magical place to stay

The Rambutan Hotel and Resort is my happy place. it is an excellent motel. Staff are wonderful. Courteous, friendly and efficient. The rooms are spotless, beds are comfortable The restaurant provides excellent meals. The grounds and cleaning staff do a wonderful job. Cocktail waiters certainly know their stuff and the front desk staff and manager are there to make sure evertything runs like clockwork. Only a few minutes walk to the old market area of town. Close to shops and Pub Street. You cannot go past the Rambutan for value for money. Tuj tuk rates and taxi rates are competitive with their colleagues and there are an abundance of tours on offer for a small fee from the front desk.

If I only knew how magical our stay would be- I would have stayed longer! If you’re seeking a visually stunning and welcoming environment with TOP NOTCH service- look no further than Rambutan. I cannot stress enough how much we loved this hotel, not only is it aesthetically pleasing, but the restaurant should not be missed- from breakfast to post temple tour cocktails- there was not one bite or sip that wasn’t a 10/10, it made it very difficult to leave the property! The spa is icing on the cake, a truly relaxing environment with professional massage therapists. The front desk will accommodate any and all requests you throw at them, our tuk tuk driver and temple tour guide were phenomenal and genuinely fun to be around! Even our airport transfer driver (request Tiger!) was an absolute sweetheart. From the moment we touched down in Siem Reap to our last lunch here we felt cared for, safe, pampered and made to feel like family. I can’t wait to return, and if you’re hesitant- don’t be- this is the right choice- you’re going to LOVE it, I promise!

The hotel has stylish rooms in a layout that creates a relaxed atmosphere. Rooms are clean and comfortable with all necessary amenities. There is also a restaurant and pool on site.||The hotel is situated in a quiet location down a path (see photos), that blocks external noise, so is a peaceful retreat. While it is away from the noise of Pub Street, the centre of town is just a few minutes walk away.||The staff are amazingly helpful, and do their utmost to ensure your stay is the best it can be. The staff can also help arrange visits to local attractions.||I highly recommend this hotel. It is in a quiet and romantic setting, yet close to all the action.|The best hotel in Siem Reap.

My husband and I stayed here during our honeymoon in October 2025. The staff were incredibly thoughtful and caring. We arrived late at night via their car transport, and felt warmly welcomed. The rooms were exceptional - loved all the details from the window shades, ceramics that held the shampoo and shower gel… the design was beautiful!||The staff were also exceptional - everyone from front desk, the restaurant, car transport, you name it. Rambutan truly felt like a 5-Star hotel!||Bonus: There’s the cutest shiba that roams around! She’s the owner’s dog and so so cute. She made our stay even more memorable :)

I really cannot recommend this hotel highly enough , we have travelled extensively in Asia and this is undoubtedly one of the best we have stayed in . The absolute soul of the hotel are the staff who all without exception were fantastic. This includes everyone from airport transfer , reception , bar staff , breakfast team and everyone else I missed .. The breakfast was fantastic and nothing was too much trouble . Special shout out to the bar staff and their excellent cocktails , especially great at happy hour . We organised all our trips to the temples etc .through the hotel and they will tailor what you need and have drivers that especially work for them . These are all reasonably priced and reliable , it really could not have been easier . The location is great near the river on the quieter side , yet easy to walk over for a livelier evening .The hotel is a gem and you instantly feel at home , welcomed and you really could not ask for better in Siem Reap.
