Good clean Hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. A little out of the way from the main area of Siem Reap 'Pub Street' but a short Tuk Tuk ride fixed that. The roads around the Hotel are not clean and very bumpy, but the Hotel is great for its facilities and a short Tuk Tuk ride took you to the heart of Siem Reap. Good value

An excellent traditional quality hotel with space
I completely enjoyed my stay at the Lin Ratanak hotel. The hotel was kind to send their own driver to pick me up on my arrival which was a good start. The hotel is large and spacious with a spacious and elegant reception area in traditional Cambodian design. I was personally shown to my room by the reception manager which was also really very polite and welcoming. My room was excellent with a large room area, also with a very spacious big bathroom. Yes Great..! Breakfast was really quite excellent with a high quality superb large buffet, eggs cooked to choice, and the breakfast staff were very polite with impressive personal service, and again the manager on duty always asked me personally every morning if everything was to my satisfaction. This was all very hospitable and always excellent service all around in the hotel, including the swimming pool refreshment bar where the young guys there were just even amazingly helpful.. In conversation one of them asked me if all was alright with my stay at the hotel, and jokingly I said that 'Well all would be alright except that the light bulb on my bathroom mirror has gone out today, and it needs replacing...' Then amazingly when I got back up to my room one hour later, then the message had been passed, and the light bulb had been replaced...! Yes just great personal service...! The swimming pool was large and very good value, and the hotel is in a very quiet road away from the main road. Yes all was just very good.

We loved staying there. The staff were super helpful and really friendly. Nothing was an issue for them to organise, arrange or sort out. They were generous giving us free drinks, fruit after our meal and a free New Year's Day dinner. The hotel was always clean. Customer service is definitely a priority for this place and we really appreciated it.

OK but not as advertised
This hotel was ranked as a 4 star. Based on other hotels that I have stayed at in Siem Reap it is a 3 star. At one point it was probably very nice, but they have not completed regular maintenance and it is getting old. As an example, the tub was nasty and the shower head spayed in all directions. The bed was so hard, it was more comfortable to sleep on the floor. They will give you an extra thread bear duvet though. Breakfast was the same for the eleven days that I stayed and catered to Asian guests. The windows and walls are very thin and you hear everything. There is no flat screen tv, it is an old tube tv. The spa was only staffed in the evening on some days. When I asked about this I was assured some one was there. My room was close to it and I walked by each time I left my room with no one there and they never answered the phone. The “fish spa” was also nasty. The tanks are much cleaner at the market. The pool was very nice and clean. It would be nice if they had music playing and made it more festive. They use the day to do maintenance around the hotel grounds because most people are at the temples during this time. If you are looking to relax, this is not the place.

For the price of $28 per night it was very good. However, if the normal price is over $50 I would say it is only average. It was noisy from the next door bathroom. Could hear people talking outside along the corridor. Breakfast was ok as was primarily suited for Asian customers.

Decent place
The property is dated, and the furnishing reflects it. The rooms are spacious and large, but there are challenges for foreign visitors with respect to wifi networks, service facilities in the room etc. Language skills among the management and staff- both at front office and service team leave some to be desired. When we ordered packed food for vegetarians, with complete details repeated back to us and still end up getting a meat filled meal, it is tough to know what to say and do...but, definitely a good property, even if the surrounding areas/ locality is not something much to write home about.

Value for a simple room
The room was smaller than expected, but still worth the price I showed. There really wasn't anything to do in the neighborhood, and the hotel is located at the end of a muddy and dirty alley strewn with trash so I don't suggest walking outside to the main road. There is ease in hailing a tuk tuk however, so one does not really need to venture past the driveway ever.

A wee oasis
We were greeted with friendly staff, cool towels and a juice while our booking in formalities were completed. For us the pool area was perfect in the hot conditions. The restaurant was excellent and for a night when we just wanted to sit with our feet up it was ideal. Happy hours are a bonus! The film night showing the history of Angkor Wat and area was excellent. The on site spa was great, try the Khumar herbal massage. A very well priced safe and comfortable place to stay.

Hotel is very well maintained, staff so polite, clean spotless beddings and elegantly kept rooms. Location is a bit away from tourist spot but there is no problem as Tuk-Tuk is available throughout.

A good quality hotel with a nice feel.
Lin Ratanak Angkor hotel was a good quality hotel with nice 'feel' to it. It is a medium size hotel, with tour groups from various countries, but, despite the fact that I was travelling alone, I didn't find it at all overwhelming. Usually I had the pool to myself and was also able to take breakast by the pool away from the main busy breakfast buffet area in the dining room. The buffet breakfast had a wide variety of choices to suit the tastes of the many nationalities staying so unusual cambinations were possible. Except for the pool-side New Year's Eve buffet, which was fine, I didn't eat in, in the evening, so can't comment . The staff were very attentive and keen to please, although they failed to carry out the arranged airport pickup until I rang from the airport. [local sim cards are on sale at the airport and well worth it]. The hotel is a half hour walk from the 'old market' area in the town centre but there is a large working local market, not at all geared up for tourists, immediately outside the hotel. There is a small tuk-tuk area immediately outside the hotel. I used the same tuk-tuk driver (Mr Heng tel:017-318-250) to visit the temples, Kompong Phluk (on the lake) and to return to the airport. While a tuk-tuk for the day is not at all expensive ($15 for a short trip - $20 for a long trip), it is worth noting that if you are travelling alone and hire a boat to go to the lake from Kompong Phluk you have to pay for the whole boat ($40) rather than $20.
