Angkor Pearl Hotel

My opinion is tainted as the Driver they booked me for Angkor Wat ripped me off. It started when I booked a driver at the Hotel. I paid over the usual rate $40 to get a reliable hotel driver. They short change me by $10 I didn't notice but a junior staff member pointed it out. Cut long story short at Angkor Wat driver disappears. I wait an extra hour he doesn't show. A local helped me and I got back to Siem Reap. The Hotel itself is okay. Wifi is hopeless, I was supposed to do a Skype call overseas but gave up. In fairness that may be the norm for Siem Reap. The TV remote didn't work and buttons broken on dated TV. Air con was weak. It's not really walking distance to main restaurants and bars as some reviews suggest. I've travelled extensively and it's unusual a Hotel would blatantly rip off a guest so it might just be a rogue staff member but the other items prevent me recommending this place.

We stayed at the Angkor Pearl Hotel for three nights in March 2014. Mr. Thoeun met us at the airport and took us to the hotel by tuk-tuk. We subsequently hired him for the couple of days of sightseeing while we were in Siem Reap ($15 per day) and he also returned us to the airport on our last day. When we arrived at the hotel we were greeted like family. The whole time we were at the hotel the staff could not do enough for us. Our room was on the third floor and was very spacious. The hotel provided a fruit plate the first day and bottled water every day. The amenities, bed, TV, air-con etc. were all fine. The breakfast buffet was good with all the coffee we could drink. We would certainly stay here again on our next visit to Siem Reap.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 day stay at this hotel. The staff was helpful, the tuk tuks were right out the front door, and the barbeque was a fun treat! There is no lift or pool, so this might not be a good fit for families. However, the king bed and nicely appointed room met our needs perfectly. The building with its carved wood is beautiful.
