Villa Amalia

A small family run Villa consisting of 9 units. After booking we followed up on the advertised shuttle from the airport, however, our emails were never returned and we took a taxi. Our family unit was perfect for a couple + a single adult because it provided an adjoining room complete with separate bathroom and TV for the 3rd (and 4th person if needed). The rooms were large and very clean; breakfast was included and delicious. A boxed breakfast was provided if you asked for same to take on an early excursion; it was fresh fruit and a croissant and bread with no butter or jam. When following up on the advertised shuttle from the airport, our emails were never returned. We took a taxi. The staff were friendly and helpful, and although limited English, we had no problems communicating. The pool was surrounded by lovely gardens and we enjoyed the same every afternoon during the hot part of the day. There are many restaurants within easy walking distance of the Villa and the large indoor market is also within walking distance. We would stay at this venue again.

Villa Amalia, siem reap was the perfect choice to unwind in between a hectic south east Asia trip!! Extremely polite , helpful and welcoming staff. The rooms are fantastic and spacious!! We stayed near the poolside and the view is just dreamlike. Lush green surroundings. Breakfast is basic but very warmly and well served by the poolside. I was just a bit unhappy with the tea/coffee replenishment (we need coffee three times a day!!)||It is walking distance from spas, launderettes,other restaurants, a 7*11 kind of store and a 15 minute walk to the most happening place there- pub street. People advised us to get back to the hotel by midnight as there was one odd stray incident of mugging. We felt quite safe though. Plenty of tuk tuks around. Most locals are not very comfortable with english.Beer is cheap!!!!Villa amalia stood out from all the other places!! The girl at the reception "Hong" is absolutely wonderful!! I would go back to Villa Amalia any day.. we - my husband, my 7 year old son and I loved the place, the pool, the service ,the cleanliness,the location. Highly recommended!!!!

We stayed in this hotel for 4 nights and loved the peace and quiet and charming attitude of the staff here. Hong was particularly helpful and could not do enough to help us out - she even sorted out stamps and posted my postcards, arranged for us to use a room to change and have a shower on our last day even though we had checked out! There are lush green palm trees surrounding a gorgeous pool, lounge chairs for relaxing in and towels provided every day for swimming. The room was enormous and had its own lounge area as well as a big comfortable bed. It felt very calming and each villa has its own bit of privacy. The breakfast is good too with fresh fruit as well as Western and Asian options. It is nice to have so few rooms so it is not impersonal but friendly and small.

I have been delighted to stay at Villa Amalia for a week! A great place to relax after a long day visiting around, you can enjoy some time to cool down at the pool. The breakfast is basic but perfect. The room are quite big, and clean everyday. The staff is very friendly and they make the place even more convivial !

We had a very nice stay at this hotel. The rooms are clean & very big. Very kind staff that will help you with anything. One point of attention is breakfast.. everyday the same, the eggs are not good (too sweet = very weird and we could not eat them) also it takes too long to serve breakfast. (1st day 30 min, 2nd day 40 min just to get our breakfast, not easy if you have a driver waiting to start an excursion).

We stayed with this hotel for 3 days 9-12 june 19 which was pleasant minus the cold water showers and that they kept turning off the ac while we were gone so we would come back to a sauna. The villa has a shuttle driver who will drive you around then hold your bags at the airport untill you pay him $150 claiming the hotel hasnt payed him for driving services that were never agreed apon in advance and the hotel would not pick up their phone either to help us clear it up!!!! We asked both the hotel and the driver how much in advance. We would of never used if the hotel and driver would have been upfront with prices. Avoid at all costs!!! These people are Thieves!

The hotel was great overall, with nice rooms and good food and service. However, I was slightly disappointed by the swimming pool which doesn't seem to be extremely clean, but otherwise it was great. The breakfast was excellent and was served in a nice outdoor space. Recommend to anyone.

Stayed here for a few nights in November. I choose this hotel based mainly on location (wanted something central), and booked the 'Premier Villa with Private Garden'. The room also came with a free airport-pickup, - which at first sounds like a nice touch, - but it turned out to be a tuk-tuk, which along with my suitcases, made the 7km journey to the hotel a bit of a ‘white-knuckle ride’ !! The size of the room was very large, and it was nice to have a ground-level room/villa with outside terrace. There is free WiFi and this was fine for my needs (checking e-mails). The hotel also arranged/called a tuk-tuk for visits to the various temples ($15-$20). However, my stay wasn’t a good as I’d hoped/expected, and there were some niggling gripes as follows; • On arrival, I'd have expected some complimentary bottles of water, - but there was none. • Whoever cleans the room must not be able to reach the ceiling, as there were cobwebs. • It takes 5 minutes for the hot-water to warm up. • The pool is nice, but with just 4 sun-beds, gets busy quickly. Pool shower not working. • Breakfast is very basic and limited. • $2 for a can of coke from the mini-bar is expensive for a country like Cambodia, and only discovered this on checking-out. • Hotel isn’t a close to town-centre as I’d thought, and at night (due to heat and unlight road) you will need a tuk-tuk. Overall, for a 4-star hotel costing £57/$85 a night, - this wasn’t quite up to scratch and more expensive than it should be in Cambodia, -- This really hit home when I paid a lot less in Thailand for much better accommodation.
