Hotel 3 Bintang di Tuol Ta Ek

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.

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.
