Stayed for four nights and when leaving we wish we could stay longer.

The hotel as such is great, newly renovated, focus on design and the little details, located in walking distance (5-8 min) from the city centre. The rooms are good, well equiped and clean. The pool area is a nice place relax after visiting the ruins. Though, what really makes this hotel stand out is the very friendly and attentive staff. At all times of days, and no matter if it was the cleaning staff, staff from the restaurant, the pool, the frontier or the reception we where treated with such hospitality that we where amazed.

We also tried the cocking classes of the hotel and can only recommend others to try this as well. The chef and his staff did his outmost to teach us about the Cambodian cuisine and helped us cook a great meal.

Planning a trip to Cambodia is quite stressful. Although the country is rated 3rd safest in the world, everyone recalls the khmer rouge, landmines etc; the quality of hotels/transport is unknown; friends in Bangkok commented 'Don't go out at night alone, watch what you eat, border crossing can be tricky'.
In the event Siem Reap is a charming, safe town, and the people are polite and friendly.It offers an interesting asian experience without the hassle, overcrowding and excess of Thailand.

The Shinta Mani is an exceptional hotel.
Guest service is the best I have ever experienced, the rooms and facilities are modern and well kept, and the location is ideal for a short walk along the riverbank to the centre of town.
By example, on our last day our flight to
Bkk was not until 5.35pm but we were immediately offered use of our room until we had to leave for the airport at no extra charge. When we left, all the senior staff including the GM, Christian, lined up tosay goodbye and wish us a safe trip. We had only been guests for 2 nights!
And the rates are very competitive. There is a 10% service charge added to your bill at the end though, which can be a surprise.
One pays a lot to get to Cambodia though, and when you get here you want the hotel stay to be as good as possible. It will be at the Shinta Mani....

We stayed there for three nights. Everyday we were greeted by the staff with smiling faces. Room was tidy. Complimentary breakfast was excellent. We appreciated Tola and his team who provided excellent services. The only little thing the hotel can improve is having a bigger swimming pool.
