Hotel 2 Bintang di Tuol Ta Ek

The hotel looks so nice from outside. Their lobby looks luxurious, much better, in fact, than the rooms. The room is spacious but totally uncomfortable: hard mattress and pillows, the armchairs cushions are harder than the mattress, which means that I couldn't use them. There is no furniture like a closet, it's made of that awful dark colored concrete in bad need of a lack of paint, just like the walls. The room was reasonably clean and we were asked if we wanted cleaning each day. The day we asked just for a change of towels, nobody bothered to empty the trash. The room had a nice small balcony, but no furniture to sit outside, not even a rack to hang our clothes or dry our towels. The bathroom was kept pristine but the shower curtain was a disgrace, not to be touched. We had booked (and paid) for a queen bed but got twins, instead, without any prior notice or apologies for the change. The hotel location is convenient, along a main road, within walking distance of the city center and the lovely river. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone: it is too primitive for the price.

The location, garden design & architecture, room, breakfast as well as the highly hospitable, helpful and professional staff offered us a wonderful stay in Battambang. The garden is a very skilled creation associating dozens of local plants and trees that provides a relaxing shelter not only for guests but also for birds.
