Siem Real Anghor Wat hotel trip suggestions

[Elkski]

Wondering if anyone has suggestions for a good place to stay for 3 nights.  We plan to get a 3 day pass.  Mid January time. Any other trip tips appreciated.   A pool and nearby nightlife would be nice. Where is the bar area?

Pub Street is the Bar area called.

 

We always, when we went to Siem Reap which was often as it is only a couple hours drive from us to this hotel

It's very convenient and close to Pub Street.

Thanks for the link.  Those rooms are 100$ +.  There are many in that price range.   We prefer rooms about half that much.

One day is quite enough

No pool, but very handy for Pub Street and adjacent area. A deluxe room comes out at under 1,500 Baht a night. Ta Prohm will be similar. 

 

There is a huge choice in your price range but Siem Reap was VERY slowly recovering from Covid when we visited at the end of  August. - many hotels like the City River had not reopened, nor the big 4/5 star places on the outskirts. 

 

Siem Reap was virtually 100% tourist dependent so Covid hit it harder than many places.

....and for me, but for some 3 days is not enough. They were doing offers on passes but surprisingly they had not reduced the entry fee of US$37 that was significantly increased 4 years ago. Visitor numbers have been decimated.

Garden Village Guesthouse and pool bar was always my 1st choice.

Nice swimming pool, beer served 24/7 at 50c/glass.

Close to everything, $10-$15/night.

Garden village is booked Jan 17-20

We did book this place but reading the reviews we are trying to cancel because trip adviser reviews say it's to close to loud bars and a bit rundown.    

Reaksmey Chanreas Hotel

 

We are in town 3 days but have not bought the 3 day pass yet.   I do enjoy and appreciate stone masonry. What other things are there to do in SR?
