Hotels.com: Tara Angkor Hotel, Siem Reap, KH

I stayed 2 nights and thought it was an excellent hotel at a great price - the lobby area is very tidy yet welcoming, my room was in outstanding condition (yes, the beds are on the firm side but I happen to like them that way), my bathroom was very clean and hassle-free (the shower pressure/temperature were great), and the staff were all very friendly and helpful (but not in an overbearing way). The free wi-fi and public computers in the lobby were much appreciated, and the breakfast was quite good as well. The only area of improvement I would suggest is the pool - I thought the water didn't seem as clean as I would like, but it also doesn't help that it's lined with dark cobalt blue tiles.

This is a GREAT hotel!!! Nearly all the reviews were good that's why we chose this hotel... and we were NOT at all disappointed! The staff was great, the breakfast awesome and the hotel in top shape! One person gave this hotel a bad review (now we know it's not the hotel!), but we can tell you there is absolutely a lot to enjoy about this hotel. I am a frequent travel for both business and pleasure and have stayed in modest to 5-star hotels. This one is certainly an excellent one. We will definitely stay here again on our next visit! In fact, I encouraged many of our friends to stay at this hotel.

We stayed in this hotel at the end of our month long trip around Cambodia and Laos. We got the hotels.com offer and were amazed on how a good deal it was. The hotel itself is beautiful and when they realized it was our honeymoon, decorated our room nicely and left us a nice cake. It's not as close to the town's center as other hotels that it has to offer, so you have to consider taking a tuk tuk each time you go dining or shopping at the center, but is one of the closest hotels to the entrance of Angkor wat (like 4 km away, you'll also need a bike or a tuk tuk for this). They lend bikes and umbrellas, in case you need them.

The little hotel that would

We selected the Tara based on the website, and we were not entirely disappointed. The hotel wants to be high class and of the boutique type, but in fact it does not succeed, at least not entirely. The decor of the lobby and of the other common areas is neat and modern, designed to impress. However the rooms are quite small with very little storage space. Our towels had big mended holes, and the temperature of the water in the shower was erratic, going from warm to scalding to cold without us touching the controls. The breakfast buffet was quite good, and the best thing was staff, who were very courteous and pleasant. That is until I informed them (with two days' notice) that I wanted to leave one day early, at which point they told me that practically the policy was of no refunds. The neighborohood is good, and it is convenient to visiting Angkor Wat; and by the way at the spa next door ("City Spa" which is not part of the hotel) I got the best tradidtional massage ever. So all in all I cannot complain, as I got my money's worth, but if/when I will go back I will try a different hotel.

there was some challenges to the communication via the phone and internet but once we got to the hotel...everything was over the top. the breakfast was excellent, location was on the main road to Ankor, we were near the markets...staff was incredible and accommodating. I have traveled around the world and I am very impressed. I would return to hotel.

I was surprised that the hotel did not have copies (or at least one copy) of the local map. Without a map it was difficult for the hotel staff to provide suggestion on sightseeing itinerary and information on restaurants. We arrived just before Christmas and during registration were told that there would be a compulsory Christmas gala dinner for US $30 each. This condition was not revealed when we booked the hotel. We were happy to attend the dinner but was really annoyed that it was COMPULSORY. Anyway, the dinner turned out to be quite nice.
