CENTRAL BLANCHE Residence

We spent one month at Central Blanche Residence in Siem Reap. This lovely hotel is tucked away from the centre of Siem Reap, but within a walkable distance from any necessary amenities. The room is large, with ample space, big bathroom, large windows and lots of natural light. The hotel has a fantastic breakfast service with lots of options, fresh fruit, freshly cooked eggs and excellent service. There is a swimming pool. The rooms are cleaned each day. What we enjoyed the most, though, was the lovely staff who made our stay. From manager to server, everyone treated us with such kindness. The highlight was the kind invitation to a staff member's birthday party - we had so much fun! Thank you. True Cambodian hospitality. We would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a lovely stay in the city.

First and foremost, the staff were exceptional, from the front of house, to the chefs, bartenders and waiters, to the housekeeping team and the maintenance team, all were friendly and attentive and ready to cater to any of your needs or answer any questions.... The buffet breakfast was delicious and with different variations throughout the week - and the restaurant in general had great quality food across the whole menu. The bartenders made an awesome cocktail and the prices of drinks were very reasonable. The pool was awesome and always accompanied by nice music being played. Loved staying at this hotel all in all and would recommend it to anyone.

This is a good hotel located in a private sector, away from the city noise. Very comfortable for sleeping and relaxing. The staff is friendly, the breakfasts are monotonous, but tasty. The pool is clean and well-maintained. Cleaning is high-quality every day. I came for 3 three days, and then took two more days extra. Near the hotel there are a couple of stalls with a minimal assortment, but the center is only 5 minutes away by tuk-tuk for 1 dollar.

The only płace to stay Siem Reap!!! We loved the staff and everything that we received during our stay. The most hospitable people, very welcoming and going further than expected. Easily bookable tours right at the reception with a cool driver. Good breakfast and really great rooms :) We got food at the hotel's restaurant and it was really tasty!

Although the immediate environment might not be what you expect, this is a really nice hotel in what turns out to be a very easy reach all the local attractions location. We felt it is in what you would consider an 'up and coming' area, and walking/driving around Siem Reap there are lots of other new smart buildings like this that are a bit out of place in their surroundings. But this is a city under rapid transformation so what can we really expect? We found it easy and safe to walk to bars and restaurants (we felt the route past Mad Monkey hostel was the best), but there are always tuk tuks outside if you prefer and the hotel are great at organising transport too. The staff were the best thing about this hotel, so helpful and friendly and nothing is too much trouble. They gave good advice about visiting Angkor and arranged a tuk tuk driver to take us who was so reliable and kind despite little English. We shared our whatsapp details to confirm verbal arrangements yet at no point did we feel pressured by him to do anything we didn't want to or to use him when we wanted to walk which is unlike so many stories we have heard, and so we used him every trip. You pay through the hotel for the Angkor tour days which made the whole transaction so easy, and he even provided cold water throughout each day. Breakfast is good, the freshly cooked eggs 'your style' were a bonus and surprisingly good fresh coffee! We ate in the hotel on the first night and it was perfectly ok, but preferred the huge range of restaurants and street food for the rest of the stay. We highly recommend Haven, a social enterprise restaurant which is simply outstanding, and the Green Market street food centre. We also walked to the Phare Circus in about 25 mins, not a pretty walk but easy enough, and honestly, GO! After a very hot day of sightseeing the pool was such a relief and was never busy. We don't need 5* fluffy towels etc.
