A lovely villa with a quite atmosphere : you can stay near the little pool hiden in the vegetation and a waterfall wall or on the first floor roof in front of it. Staff is very nice and helpful ; you can use a courtasy tuk tuk for going downtown. Very close to the Angkor entry check point. I kindly... More

The hotel is nicely designed, with beautiful rooms (though a bit dark at night), excellent beds and a nice balcony. There is also a small swimming pool for those wanting to cool down. The hotel is located 1.5 kms out of town in the direction of Angkor, we thought that would be an advantage. For visiting the temples it probably... More

This boutique hotel looks great on the website, but the hotel is located a long way from the action in Siem Reap town. The first impression of shoes and sandals strewn all over the front steps of the hotel is annoying, tripping on the way in. The rooms are nice, but one of the the lamps did not work and... More

Visiting the Angkor Wat temples being the primary reason for our 4 days visit to Siem Reap, we booked the 3N4D packages from Shining Angkor. The airport pickup, check-in and the 4 day tour plan was all well executed by the extremely service oriented staff of the hotel. We were upgraded from a superior to a deluxe room cheerfully by...

We were sad to leave! We had a wonderful experience at Shining Angkor and Siem Reap - a highlight of our trip. The friendly service of all the staff (night manager, Khim, in particular), beautiful/clean rooms, magnificent traditional wood furniture throughout...all at a reasonable price. The close location to the temples was very convenient, especially since I enjoyed multiple sunrises... More

The Angkor Shining is a nice hotel. I liked the wooden bed but the good things stop there. From the minute we arrived the reception staff were trying to hassle us into booking tours through them for every waking moment we would spend in Siem Reap. We told them we would think about it and let them know if we... More

We booked two rooms at the last minute rate of $33 each. The hotel upgraded us to the rooms with the gorgeous wood beds. I just couldn't believe we were paying so little for such nice rooms - even by Cambodian standards. It is a bit out of town, but the trade off is you are closer to the temples.... More

This hotel is special – we had a wonderful stay. A 4-Star hotel with 5-Star amenities and the personalized staff attention we commonly get at the $200 a night hotels. We bought the 3-day ticket to visit the site. The first day we biked the mini-route, the second day we rented a tuk tuk for the outer ruins ($15/day -... More

Our family of 2 adults and 2 children (9 and 7 years) stayed for 5 nights in December 2011. Hotel staff were lovely and helpful with tuk-tuk organisation (we had the same guy-Red each day which was nice) and breakfast was a wide selection and appealed to all in our family. The only negatives were the hot water ran out... More
