We had occasion to stay at the Sothea on a recent trip to Siem Reap. After lots of research and the recommendation of some folks who are on the ground in Siem Reap, we chose the Sothea. We were happy we did. The one concern we had prior to booking is that the hotel is not right in the middle... More

To celebrate our wedding anniversary, my wife and I stayed at The Sothea from May 4 to 7. The architecture, design and decor was a seamless blend of Siem Reap's rich cultural heritage and contemporary Asian lines. The place was very clean and well-maintained. Its location is convenient, being on the main road leading to the aiport which is only... More

I stayed 3 nights with my friend for holiday. Actually it wasn't our first choice, but we were glad that we chose this hotel over the original one because we came across other tourists who complained their hotel was full of noisy tour groups. The room is spacious and comfortable with heart warming turn down service. Staffs are all very... More

My wife and I have just returned from a trip to Vietnam and Cambodia and chose to stay in this wonderful hotel whilst visiting Angkor Wat. It is 15 min from the airport and on the main highway, but do not be put off by this as it is a complete haven. The staff are exceptional in their attention to... More

Had a wonderful long weekend at the Sothea. Staff really looked after us, especially Boonthea and Vireak. Rooms were great, we were 2 adults and 2 kids and had loads of space. The hotel tuk tuk is very convenient and seemingly always on hand to go into town. Hotel food was maybe not the best ever, a few dishes were... More

A true five star boutique hotel, where they do their best to meet your desires. The salted pool is wonderful, and the rooms, decor and service has been magnificent in the 4 nights that we stayed. The sense of privacy and peace in the hotel is great, specially if you want to run from the massive tourism that goes to... More

Lovely hotel with great rooms. Really beautiful. Lovely breakfast with a great choice. Only downside was service - definitely not up to level and not what you would expect in a hotel of this level. You could tell there was little overnight by management. Other point was they need to respect basic hygiene rules a lot better - we walked... More

I'll admit, I was a bit apprehensive about the Sothea, because my original hotel was overbooked, and this was a last minute change. I read all the reviews, and figured the pillows would be wrong, the staff pushy, and no power outlets. I was so happily wrong. First- I have never stayed in a cleaner hotel. I have stayed in... More

Some earlier reviews had worried us in terms of the service and over attentiveness of the team. However we had a thoroughly enjoyable and relaxed stay and found the team at The Sothea to be helpful, friendly and not at all pushy in the way that some people had previously described. The Sothea's restaurant is quiet in the evening (or... More
