Angkor Village Hotel is a leafy, traditional-feeling retreat in Wat Bo, a five-minute walk from the Old Market. It is part of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, and its appeal lies in the gardens, the quiet and the unhurried service rather than in flashy design. Guests stay in rooms with sound-insulated walls, bathrobes, a safe and a refrigerator, set among trees and walkways, and the property has an outdoor pool with loungers and umbrellas, a spa with aromatherapy, body treatments and massage, a library and a gym. Two restaurants with garden views serve breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner, and there is also a coffee shop and a terrace. A continental breakfast is included, which is a real saving for a family or a couple. With a very high guest score from hundreds of reviews, it is one of the more consistently praised hotels in the central area, and it works for travellers who prefer calm to nightlife.
Location and getting around
The hotel stands on Wat Bo Road, close to the Wat Bo pagoda and a few minutes’ walk from the Old Market and Pub Street, which you can reach in around seven minutes on foot. The temples are a short tuk-tuk ride away. The airport is about an hour by road, and limousine and town car services can be arranged. Bicycle rental is available for gentle rides along the river.
Rooms and facilities
The rooms offer air conditioning, large televisions, laptop-compatible safes and fridges, and the property has free Wi-Fi in public areas and free parking. The library is a quiet spot for planning your temple days, and the front desk is open around the clock. Check-in is from the afternoon and check-out at noon, with late check-out available for a fee when space allows.
Who it suits
Couples, older travellers and anyone who values peace, greenery and a walkable location. The wedding services mean it is also a popular choice for celebrations, so it can be livelier on some weekends.
Good to know
The hotel is a few minutes from the nightlife, so the area is quiet in the evenings. Book early for November to February, ask for a garden-side room if you want peace and reserve the spa in advance in the high season. Pets are not permitted.
Nearby and what to do
From the hotel you can walk to the Wat Bo pagoda and the river, browse the Old Market in the morning before the heat builds and finish the day with a Phare circus show or a street food tour. Many guests arrange a sunrise tour at Angkor Wat through the front desk, return for the included breakfast and rest by the pool in the hottest hours before heading out again in the late afternoon, which is an easy rhythm for a stay of three or four nights.
