We stayed at the Bopha Angkor for 5 nights in April, and our experience was wonderful. We had chosen this hotel based on Trip Advisor reviews, and because it was also relatively inexpensive for a hotel with a pool. Given that we were touring in the hottest of months, the pool seemed like a good idea. At $53 a night, we paid a little more than the posted average of $38 but we did have a deluxe room. Though the room did not actually have any additional features, it was large with a large bed, and was lovely. The bathroom had a shower only, was clean and well maintained.
The staff was friendly, accomodating and extremely courteous. The restaurant has an elegant feel with garden seating as an option. We ate several times here, and while inexpensive by western standards, dinner was a little more expensive than some others in Siem Reap which were also good. The food, and the presentation, however, was the best we had. One meal, with a bottle of wine....and 3 courses, came to $32 for two. Breakfasts were included in the price of the room; the options were there for eastern or western style breakfasts....we tried all the options and they were all wonderful. Each included a plate of fresh fruit.
The pool is lovely; cool salt water, with some options for shade on the loungers. Walk to the market area was about 5 minutes ; taxis and tuk tuks were available outside the front entrance if needed for longer trips. On the day we checked out, we were unsuccessful in going standby on an early flight; hotel staff welcomed us back to spend the day at the pool while waiting for our next flight. We would definitely return.
