Tara Angkor

It’s not a 4* star hotel. The restaurant services have frequently come up wanting and seemed irritated when asked for anything,, be it allergic restrictions, breakfast or room service. Now we’ve been served a dish crawling in ants. Not a pool served dish but our dinner main in the outside area they show in their pics. The location is good for local tours, particularly temple tours and APOPO, but that’s where the good stuff ends. If you’re in a room at the front, the bars opposite pump out v loud music at 330am, if you’re at the back, the bar becomes very loud from 9pm. It’s not at all what I expected and amazed Trailfinders recommend them. It neither local cool or big chain sleek. The room is large and basic. The air con is very loud and the clean each day is just a sweep and bed make. The shower was broken when we arrived and every thing we’ve needed that’s been missing or broken, we’ve had to insist on which has taken up time we don’t want to waste in the hotel. The drinks are surprisingly expensive for the type of hotel and don’t be fooled by the “free cocktail”. It’s small, pre mixed and very weak! Haha I have been sorely disappointed with this choice and whilst some of the team have the desire to provide 4* service, a lot have just left me wondering. I am immensely sympathetic to the local economy and understand the pressure but best foot forward means making some tough people choices... such a shame as could be a much better hotel. Beware, Google maps don’t show whatever has been constructed opposite the hotel. It’s a temporary looking park filling up with noisy cheap drink Beer Street style bars. If you want a noisy, boisterous, happy hour led hotel stay then go for it... whilst the hotel is not the highlight of Cambodia it’s made life here awkward and hard work and a dread to return to.

Travelled with family to Siem Reap and checked into this hotel. The hospitality of the country itself is at its best, and what more can you expect from the hotel staff... Everything at its best. Clean rooms, nice front desk, neat and crisp sheets, nice food for breakfast.... Hospitality at its best.... Recommended !
