This was our third times staying at The Purple Mangosteen. Everything is at your door step as well as having a fantastic restaurant & roof top bar onsite, This is a architecturally designed boutique Small Hotel .There are a range of room sizes to suit singles through to groups of 4 staying together. The rooms are light filled , cooling and calming .And are an oasis after a day in the sun at Angkor wat. This is a local family business which offers you a unique cosmopolitan experience in the heart of Seim reaps ,Old City. We will be returning again. Reviewed January 30, 2017

It's hard for me to put 5 points for any hotel especially this one. It's perfect and match my criteria in selecting a hotel: Location & Price There's a moment when I think I shouldn't add a good review for this hotel and save it for my next trip - or it would be full booking. However, I decide to write it here. Location - In a small lane, with restaurant downstairs, this hotel is just few steps away from pub street, move your body a bit further then it's old market -- all withing walking distance. Food - they are all around with plenty of choices from street food to good restaurant. You can also try roof top bar which starts in the evening till late night. Price - I've paid at USD 30 and got a medium size room with big bathroom, plus a good and convenient location. Room - There're stain and dirt in my rooms but it's common for small hotels in Cambodia & SEA. Overall cleanliness is still acceptable. Hair dryer is provided. No toothbrush. Big desk. STAFFS - MOST FRIENDLY EVER, even better than 5-star hotel in the mid of London I just stayed few months ago. And this is the only reason I put 5 points here on Tripadvisor. The young man (thin) speaks English fluently, and full of service mind. Cons: * Noise & crazy music from pub street would disturb you the whole night until 3-4AM. Be careful with this. If you are a hard sleeper, AVOID this hotel. * Stairs - Circular stairs are VERY NOT COMFORTABLE for carrying big suitcase up. And that's the only way you can climb to upper floor.

We didn't stay at The Purple Mangosteen, but did enjoy lunch here. We found them when wandering around shopping and we're really glad we decided to stop. We had a wonderful green mango salad with shrimp and smoked fish and rice paper rolls. Everything was fresh, delicious and the flavours were perfectly balanced. A really delicious light lunch with wonderful service and icy cold drinks. Definitely worth a try. Especially if you're like us and you don't like the crappy Pub Street eateries. :)
