Door and window access was problematic. Old locks were hard at times. Fans were inoperable, but aircon made up for this. Stairs were a bit daunting, especially at the end of a long day. First world problems though.

Pleasant surroundings in a retro style building reminiscent of French colonial architecture in a beautiful setting. Quaint lofts could accommodate several people. Great for small groups or family. Main room was vast space.

Could do with some maintenance, eg my toilet didn't have a lid, the furniture doors were wonky and difficult to open. At night, there was loud music from the neighbouring hotel.

La Villa oozes style. The large salt water pool is one of the best I've ever come across in a hotel. The breakfast is good.

It could do with a little update in places bathroom mainly

It’s unique oldie worldly vibe. It has so much history & is “Casablanca” The staff were lovely & the pool welcoming.

Lovely colonial building with authentic vibe and furniture. About 10-15 minutes walking distance to old market. The breakfast is offered based on two choices (Western/local food). Great quiet pool area. Loved the furnishing of the rooms and the personal touch.

It needs maintenance in the bathroom (eg leaking toilet) and paintwork in the bedroom.

It was a really stunning old 1930s villa with all the original furniture and fittings- even the light switches! Our bedroom was huge and absolutely beautiful.It felt like more of a home than a hotel, the pool was lovely and we had it all to ourselves, the food (breakfast and simple lunches) was the best we’ve had in all the hotels we’ve stayed in in Cambodia, being home cooked by amazing cooks. The staff (particularly front desk) were lovely and very helpful

Quite expensive meals and drinks

Glass sliding doors to bedroom were a little tricky. Frightened that the glass was going to break!

A French Colonial hotel with original features. A hotel of its time.

Stayed in March 2024

The new wing have walk in showers but I had a tub with a shower head and the tub is a bit high off the floor. If you have mobility issues you would not want to be in this room.

Had a lovely room in the original building of the Villa. Room decor was lovely - four poster bed, antique furniture. Very nicely restored. Very good location on the river and easily walkable to town.

Only one downside the room we were given on arrival wasn't overlooking the pool or garden as booked - we were told the hotel was fully booked - but I had booked a couple of weeks before and we saw people arrive after us so not sure why we were selected for the less attractive room- we were offered a better room the next day but as we were only there for one night it was not worth moving.

Great staff good breakfast charming French Colonial Indochine style hotel the manager arranged a great tuk tuk tour with Mr Tin Tin who was very informative and a great guide they also arranged a taxi back to Siem reap airport for a good price - they don't take commission on the activities they organise so the drivers or guides get all the money which is very honorable

There were quite a few mosquitoes but there was a good working mosquito net on the bed. Should be washed sometimes though!

The building and the rooms were very nice. A bit old but this is what added Charme to the property.

There is no safety deposit box in the room. Breakfast was disappointing considering the price per night - US $59. Have stayed in cheaper hotels in Siem Reap with far better breakfasts. Door into bedroom very shabby . Could do with being painted. The shower room had 3 cement walls. Very cheap /disappoining . Should have tiling. The toilet is very, very small & separate from the shower. There are swinging double doors into it. I found the doors VERY cumbersome. There is no similar hotel in Battambang with such a wonderful atmosphere. However, I expected the hotel to be perfect given the price paid... and it wasn't.

Stayed 2 nights - 18/02/24 & 19/02/2024. Gorgeous small boutique hotel in a French villa. A strong colonial feel to it. I think it was built in 1933. A lot of the fittings from that time are still there. God, the switches for the fan back then were enormous! Absolutely loved the atmosphere. It's a really chill out place. A unique door into my bedroom. (See photo.) High four poster bed with great hardish mattress. It's a little bit difficult to get up onto the bed but great in the morning when getting out of bed. Lovely swimming pool. The guy at reception was really nice and helpful. He spoke very good English. Paper lining in waste paper basket. All the other hotels I have stayed in bar one have plastic bags as bin liners, which take centuries to degrade.

Very friendly and helpful staff, great location, lovely pool and quiet atmosphere.

Like most properties, I think it still is trying to come back after covid. Some parts of the physical property were in disuse and not cleaned like the lounge chair cushions etc. the staff is very pleasant but when you’re at the pool, they don’t think to see if you need anything like drinks or food. Just basic inattentiveness which I find throughout SE Asia. I’m grateful for the on site laundry but it took 2 days and the price is higher than outside the hotel.

It’s a lovely old villa with lots of character. The breakfast is great, the pool is a godsend and it’s quiet.

I think it needs a bit of money spent on it - in my friend's room, for example, the ceiling fan doesn't work. And the bathrooms could do with upgrading. I got the floor all wet using the hand-held shower over the bath! More modern showers would be good. And - not the hotel's fault - but there was a fiesta-type evening event running during our stay - apparently this year it was from Christmas through to New Year's eve. That meant huge street noise! Blaring awful music from a nearby stage. Plus the food and other stalls blocked the view of the river which was a shame as the whole point of La Villa is that it overlooks the river at the front!

Loved the overall feel of La Villa - spacious, stylish and reminiscent of a bygone era. Comfy bed - and very spacious room. Nice pool and outdoor dining area - good food even though not a huge choice. What we did have was well done and tasty.

Wonderful house full of character. Warm welcome and good breakfast. And clean pool. My first visit here was before Covid, and after my second visit in December 2023 I hope the new owner/management will give more attention and maintenance to the place.

A beautiful, green and quiet oasis in the city. A charming villa with character, a very beautiful pool, good breakfast and very nice staff.

Its a very minor consideration, but I would have liked more options for hanging things to dry.

A charming converted villa with great character, a very pleasant pool, delicious breakfast (dinner, too), and very nice staff.
