Heritage Suites: "Fantastic find"

Review by: Rdrucker | Source: Trip Advisor
This is a beautiful and quiet boutique hotel. It was a pleasure to return to the serenity each day after sightseeing. Our room was lovely and spacious, even considering that it was set up with two extra beds for our children. Although we didn't use it, the private hot tub and garden were a nice added touch. The pool area was also quite nice. We enjoyed the made to order breakfast, as well as cocktails and dinner one evening. We were able to arrange for sightseeing excursions through the hotel that were absolutely amazing, particularly the sunrise over Angkor Wat that we were able to enjoy in complete solitude thanks to our phenomenal guide. Book this hotel - you will not be disappointed!

Heritage Suites: "Wonderful stay"

Review by: Rob W | Source: Trip Advisor
Our trip started off in style with the airport pickup in the old Mercedes. The staff were welcoming from the start with cold towels, water, and a welcome cocktail when we arrived. They weren't full during our stay so they gave us a complimentary upgrade to a Bungalow Suite. It was a very nice room and we'd happily pay for the extra charge to have this suite again. We liked that the hotel is a more intimate size than much of what you see around Siem Reap and that it was part of its neighborhood. They let us know when we arrived that there was a festival going on and we might hear monks chanting early in the morning from the temple nearby. When waking up before sunrise to head to the temples one morning we heard the very beautiful chanting, apparently they had started at 4 AM but we didn't hear them at all from our room. We had breakfast at the hotel daily which we enjoyed very much, but didn't try the restaurant at other times as we were out exploring Siem Reap. We booked a guide to visit temples and the Tonle Sap via their companion company Heritage Adventures who we would highly recommend. A great visit and we hope to be back again soon!

Villa Song: "A delight"

Review by: Shrewsbury1 | Source: Trip Advisor
"Ho Chi Minh City is a buzzing metropolis. Villa Song is located 15 minutes away up the river. It was a joy to go in each day by boat and return again on the boat in the afternoon after pounding the pavements. The staff are charming. Food and service are great. Our room was spacious and comfortable.The hotel is a lively but peaceful oasis. Highly recommended."

Cheong Fatt Tze – Blue Mansion: "Walk into amazing history! Most excelent"

Review by: Rowan R | Source: Trip Advisor
"Most amazing history and architecture; a truly east meets west in a unique blend that worked in C19th and is a place which has a feeling that has to be experienced to be believed. The current owners restored this place with meticulous detail to the most miniscule of reproduced effects, having to seek out craftsmen to work with a lost art. External feature details are fashioned from broken and shaped especially fired porcelain bowls. Colourfast beauty that will last potentially for centuries. The world should thank people with this level of vision to preserve such magnificent history. The history of the original owner, Cheong Fatt Tze is as fascinating as the building itself. We had the great privilege to meet and talk with owner, architect and one of the visionaries behind the Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion renovation which won the UNESCO Most Excellent Project, Lin Lee Loh-Lim. Passion personified! Check when Lin Lee Loh-Lim is conducting tours. Having stayed for several nights I can say the place and the staff are the most amazing I have ever encountered. Oh that we should all take so much pride in our work and enjoy it so much. The Restaurant with French fusion dishes is great value for money and excellent quality. This one liner is a total understatement. Yes I'm besotted with the Blue Mansion, its has been one of those experiences I will treasure and talk about for the rest of my life! Something I must say is that some of the surrounding property owners appear to have little respect for what the Blue Mansion represents and the leadership that properties of this calibre offer the future of Georgetown and Penang as a world class destination. I can only hope that the Penang City Council and Chamber of Commerce can work with all accommodation providers and landowners in the area to put sustainable noise abatement in place to enhance the experience and vision that has been so delightfully preserved in the Blue Mansion and the surrounding area. I'll be back to experience the charming ambiance of the Blue Mansion in the future. I wish the owners and staff every continuing success."

Maison Polanka: "Beautiful property with the best staff"

Review by: D J | Source: Trip Advisor
"My boyfriend and I had an amazing stay here during our trip to Siem Reap! Everything surpassed our expectations. When we arrived, we were greeted at the airport by Francis and a car that drove us straight to the hotel to make sure it was a seamless trip. The purple room was perfect for us - very spacious with high ceilings. Francis, Cathy, and the entire staff at Maison Polanka ensured every detail of our stay was perfect - from packing us breakfast for when we left early to watch the sunrise, to giving us recommendations on where to eat in town and which other temples to visit. They patiently answered all our questions and made us feel completely at home. The grounds of Maison Polanka was like its own world, a quiet haven away from the hustle and bustle of downtown while located just 5min away. Another outstanding feature of the hotel was the kitchen - we loved all our meals there and the dishes were our favorite by far in Siem Reap. We ate basically all our meals and loved everything we had, especially the local Khmer fried rice and beef lok lak. It was so convenient to be able to come home after a long day touring the temples to enjoy a delicious meal in the outdoors dining area, prepared meticulously by such a great chef. We'll definitely be staying here again on our future visits - we can't wait to come back!"

The Cabochon Hotel and Residence: "Beautiful and charming hotel"

Review by: Ankercher | Source: Trip Advisor
Cabochon is a unique boutique hotel for people looking for a place different than the cookie cutter hotels in the city. Beautifully decorated and set back from busy street, it's still centrally located and close to Skytrain so very easy to get around. Staff were all extremely nice and the breakfast that was included was a nice selection of both Asian and Western options. Rooftop pool was also a nice option to have.

Mathis Retreat: "Charming Ubud resort !"

Review by: Phong1976 | Source: Trip Advisor
Back to this charming resort. Everything is magic, decoration, situation over a rice field and such a nice service. Special greeting to Karine the hotel manager who is a truly customer oriented person. Last but not the least, because we are in Bali also for food ... the Terra Cotta restaurant is just amazing, quality and tasty. We will come back again soon.
