Description
Run by an Australian-Khmer couple, the Bus Stop has a handful of rooms in a shopfront building just a couple of blocks back from the river. Rooms are basic, no frills affairs but they're clean and the owners are a friendly, chatty couple. Downstairs is a cosy bar in the afternoon and evening and while only breakfast was available when we passed through, plans are afoot for more food to be offered in the future. WiFi internet access is available downstairs, both for guests and walk-ins. A friendly, budget-orientated spot and the only western-run guesthouse in Battambang.

Was OK for a few nights -

As your review says: friendly staff (they did send through a sarcastic email when they mistakenly thought I was a no-show though!) basic and no frills which is fine, but was surprised at how much wear and tear it was starting to show for a new place (I've never seen such a filthy ceiling fan before!) Got woken up at about 5:30 am by something that sounded like veggies being chopped - that wasn't much fun. They can arrange a good motorbike driver for a nice tour through the countryside.

Good stay here -

Moved here after stopping in for a couple of beers and had a very nice time. A friendly place, they are helpful with everything. This is a good choice for the traveller, stayed in a nice clean room and will stay again next time passing through.

Angkor Hotel
River Rd, Battambang
The very long-running Angkor is where we've always stayed in Battambang. Not because the rooms are very good (they're nothing special) but just because it's one of only two spots on the city side of the river and it's miles ahead of the dire Monorom -- the only other option on this side of the... more



Royal Hotel
Just west of Psar Nath, Battambang
If you're in the market for a cheap, clean hotel, which is popular with other travellers, then the Royal Hotel, but a hop skip and a jump from Phsar Nath in the centre of Battambang is difficult to beat. Like the other cheapies in town, the Royal has stacks of rooms in a rambling, Chinese-hotel... more



Golden River Hotel
234 St 3, Battambang
The one good thing about the Golden River is that it's cheap -- that's about it. For just a little more money you'll do far better with the digs at the Royal or even the Chhaya, but if, for some unimaginable reason they're both full, the Golden River is adequate for a night. They were given it a... more



Paris Hotel
St 3, Battambang
Only if all is full, including the nearby Golden River, should the Paris Hotel even be considered. So grandiose a name but oh such a shambles! The room we were shown was absolutely rank -- it smelt so bad we initially thought they were joking but no, in we plunged with an aroma so sickly we were... more



Chhaya Hotel
118 Street 3, Battambang
The second of the big backpacker-orientated hotels in Battambang, the rambling Chhaya is a typical Chinese-style hotel, with stacks of rooms, in a near-endless variety of price combinations. Rooms are available both as fan-cooled or air-con and cable tv, warm water bathrooms are standard while some... more
