Cambodian for "Elephant" the Damrei Hotel was surprisingly a good place to stay.
Very close to the centre of town just far enough to either catch a tuk tuk or even walk. A few local bars and restaurants nearby with the best bring Palate on a nearby corner.
The hotel is only a few years old with well kept grounds and nice but average rooms. Small balcony but we didn't spend much time out there anyway.
Away from the big fancy shmancy hotels which are quite far from the "real" Siem Reap. Here you're close to small businesses and homes of the locals. You walk across the street and get your laundry done by a local which was cheap and good.
The staff were lovely all around the hotel from checking in and out, to the breakfast and restaurant and pool side.
Breakfast was good and catered to western and eastern tastes. Fresh made omelettes were always on hand and surprise sweets like crepes or pancakes were good for a naughty breakfast day.
Poolside nibbles it lunch were OK too. Cocktails by the pool were average but I'm quite fussy :)
Cupboards were a little small as I'm the type who fully unpacks - everything
Free wifi and airport shuttle were all good extras.
Recommend if you're interested in getting away from major "touristy" areas and loud hotels but still meeting people by the pool.

This is a lovely place to stay with excellent staff throughout the hotel. A great restaurant and fabulous pool (salt water and very warm). Meals can be purchased at the pool as can drinks too. The road leading to the hotel is a little less inviting but for let that out you off. Good security is at the entrance. Always 2/3 tuk-tuk drivers outside to drop you anywhere locally for about 2/3$. Very friendly and polite staff at reception to help guide and assist you to anywhere you wish to go. Very highly recommended location for the Angkor tours and Not far from Pub Street.
