Auberge Mont-Royal d'Angkor
Affordable creature comforts
What we say: 
As you turn on to Taphul Road, one of the first things you'll notice is the bougainvillea fronted Auberge Mont-Royal d'Angkor, with its lovely French colonial style walls barely concealing an atmospheric courtyard and open-sided restaurant area. Though not originally French colonial, the main building and all the additions keep with the style which, in combination with the well-tended gardens, creates a really pleasant, romantic environment. The rooms are clean, mid-sized and have what you need: air-con, fridge, en-suite bathrooms. At the price, it doesn't seem as though you'd be disappointed if you stayed here, though maybe a little frustrated that the owners haven't fully exploited the promise the place offers. Out the back is a pretty courtyard, with a small kidney-bean shaped pool, and a massage centre to the side. The pool seems to be in a spot that's shaded all day, so will not turn into hot broth just when you wanted a refreshing splash. The hotel is almost an allegory for Cambodia: some wonderful features, let down by parts that have yet to catch up. So while different rooms have various great features (such as flat screen TV) they're often let down by a poorly selected piece of cheap and rickety furniture, or the use of cheap, modern, shiny (slippery) tiles, where slightly more expensive ones would have set the perfect tone. A work in progress, and a very pretty one at that.

Nice place but you can find the same thing for cheaper elsewhere
I stayed in a standard double here for one night and found the room to be very clean. The pool was a nice touch as well. My only complaint was that the hot water wasn't very hot (more lukewarm than anything), but there were two beds, both very comfortable, and the room was a decent size for the price. Overall, this is a good choice. However, we spent the rest of our 11 days in Siem Reap in Babel Guesthouse, which was only $16 a night for a much larger room (almost twice the size) with very hot water. Babel Guesthouse was as clean as Auberge Mont-Royal d'Angkor, with the same standard of good service. The only thing Babel was missing was a pool. Both are good options, but I have to recommend Babel as a first choice and Auberge Mont-Royal as a second due to the inflated price.

nice and chilling
We stayed in Nov 09 for three nights and it was very nice and relaxing. They offered us a room in the pool villa for $40 (instead of 60$). The rooms in the pool villa are huge with nice furniture, very clean and a balcony. The pool area is small but its still a nice spot to relax. Breakfast is huge, restaurant is serving good food. The stuff is very helpful and friendly.

Nice rooms but not great value
Checked in here after a 10 hour bus ride. The room was $33 for a double with two huge double beds. The room was very clean, but a little bit plain and the staff were super friendly and helpful. The room came with 2 huge breakfasts and the pool was really nice (skip the massage though, definitely not trained). However, we found a nicer room for half the price elsewhere in Siem Reap so do look around if on a budget.

Good place to stay
Allright this is a good place to stay. The standard rooms are 25 dollars and its definitely worth the price in my mind. The hotel is very clean, the rooms are VERY nice for the price. The service is good. I believe the location is also good. It's like a 5 min walk to the night market and other resturants. Sure there are cheaper places where you can meet more people, and if you want to meet people I would say go somewhere else, but if you and your girl or man want to have some alone time this is a great place. Theres a bar but honestly I dont think anyone goes to it, and everytime I got back it was closed. The location isnt the best to get to other places in Siem, but hey just hire a tuk tuk for the day. If your a stingy person and cant spend the 12 dollars for a tuk tuk for a day then dont stay here. This is pretty much a place for people who want something nice and romantic but dont want to spend over 100 dollars a night.

Clean, pleasant , charming
Place was wonderful. We did a package deal with them for accommodation, airport transfers, breakfast, two other meals, two massages, entrance to Angkor Wat for three days and car and driver for two days. This made it really easy for a short stay. Good food, great staff, clean and comfortable rooms. The whole place was recently renovated and looks great.

Loved it
We stayed here in December and loved it. The rooms are quite nice and the breakfast is very good. There is a lovely massage facility.
