Description
This deep purple, Australian-run flashpacker haven is more than just a place to stay, if you take advantage of their many services, it can be a way to really experience much of what Siem Reap has to offer. The lodgings are mostly set in a multistorey Khmer-style house and are of a good size and comfort level. All are fitted out with air-con, minibar and hot water bathrooms, but for a TV you'll need to upgrade to at least a superior room. When just the rooms are considered, the prices are a bit inflated (especially the standard rooms), but once the pleasant garden area and range of extra services comes to mind, it's not such a bad deal -- they're obviously doing something right as it took us three days of trying before we were able to get a room! The Villa also has a couple of bungalows (really chalets) around the side of the main building and a treehouse (on the outskirts of Siem Reap) to choose from. A range of reasonably priced tours are on offer -- some struck us as a little superfluous -- but others are quite a good deal. The guesthouse also has a large, congenial garden area, well staffed with cheery, chatty staff. A couple of minor gripes were that we found the WiFi to be very patchy and their taxi rates are inflated -- they quoted us $45 for a taxi to Battambang and said it would cost us even more to get it independently. In fact we paid $30 at the share-taxi station.

Stayed here for 3 nights. Very helpfull staff, nice rooms. They even arrange tuktuks to take you around Ankor for a very reasonable price and airport pickup, with free drink in the tuktuk, was also free. Highly recommended
