My first trip to Cambodia and anxiety was high. To make things worse I was heading to Siem Reap for the first time to do the Angkor Wat International Marathon. To add to my frustrations I could not get the flights into Siem Reap as I planned for my race. So I ended up with a long 6 day stay due to my flights. I could not have stayed 6 longs nights in Siem Reap if not was for Golden Temple Villa. The restaurant staff made me feel at home from the very first day. Starting my morning at the restaurant with breakfast became a ritual of sheer delight. The best thing about Golden Temple Villa is their location. Walking distance to the river promenade, the old market and step out in the evening you walk right into Pub Street and Night Markets. Most important for first time travelers, Golden Temple Villa has a Security guard post at their entrance. Made me feel at ease staying there.

I stayed there for 3 nights before Christmas! The hotel is small but all staff are very helpful, the room is clean and comfortable, for backpacker, everything you need is there. Very near to the night market, only 5 minutes! Very good location!! And of course the room rate is vert attractive

Stayed there 5 nights. Very close to Pub street and all the hustle and bustle. Great restaurant although not very good for vegeterians for main meal - although we found the same problem with most other restaurants too.

We cannot recommend this place enough. My husband and I stayed for four nights while exploring the town and temples. They helped us find an excellent guide who had great knowledge of the temples and when best to photograph the various sites. The restaurant is fantastic with well-made, well-priced food and the massages are heaven after wandering through the temples all day. The room was beautifully decorated and clean, and the staff are so helpful! If you are looking for somewhere to stay with character and attention to detail this is the place. By far the best place we have stayed at on our travels to Asia, Europe, and South America! For reference our guide's name was Sothik. And our driver was Sopheak.

Thank you for a truly wonderful time!
