Description
Set in and around the French-era hospital, this atmospheric place is well worth consideration, though we'd lean towards Salaphae as being the better option for a splurge. Probably more at home in Luang Prabang or Phnom Penh, the main building is indeed charming and has been refurbished without interfering with its historic character. Along with the colonial building, the owners have built an additional set of large bungalows, each of which contains a number of rooms. While still reasonable, these are certainly overpriced when compared to the ones in the main building, or at the nearby Salaphae, so bargain the price down if you can. Sala Don Khone takes a lot of tour groups, in the absence of which the place is often empty, so you should be able to get a generous discount.

we stayed in one of the spacious rooms in the main house and were sorry to leave. the friendly and very helpfull Mr. Mie was the replacing manager during o ur stay. we tried several places to eat and concluded our restaurant was one of the better choices.(and the ''Mammadam'' restaurant at the waterfalls)
Pleasant place to stay -

We stayed in the hospital building, taking 2 rooms, both were large, nicely done with huge bathrooms. We paid $18 db and $14 single rate I'm sure you can bargain but I'm hopeless. Reception arranged dolphin sighting tour and bus tickets to Phnom Penh. A good place.

These raft-houses, managed by ex-lawyer Leusak, are the enviro-friendly standout on Don Khon. Employing some solar heating and ecologically-sensitive treatment of waste this is a surprising addition to the other offerings on the island. The bungalows (two to a raft) are absolutely stunning with an... more
