La Villa
Grade: Medium
As Battambang is famed for its French colonial architecture where better to stay than in a lovingly renovated colonial villa. As soon as you walk through the heavy wooden gates of La Villa opposite the Sankger river and see how the well renovated exterior compares to the rest of the faded, decaying colonial architecture in town you know you are in for a treat. However nothing can prepare you for the experience once you walk through the louved wooden doorway - you are magically taken back to the art deco 1930s period of the French protectorate. The entire guesthouse has not been spared the attention to detail with the reception, bar, restaurant, and rooms all oozing nostalgia. Sitting at the bar of a colonial villa, sipping a cocktail, with background classical jazz wafting around is a Cambodian experience not to be missed!
Our opinion: La Villa is certainly the most charming place to stay in Battambang, and with only 6 rooms also the most intimate – a truly memorable experience.

Golden Palace
Grade: Medium
The Golden Palace Hotel, or Vimean Meas, is a modern hotel offering a range of rooms which as well as the expected facilities such as aircon, cable TV, fridge, hot water etc. also have laptop internet connections. There is a large contemporary lobby area which sells Khmer silk products from the local charity Saboras, and the well presented staff are very professional and attentive.
Our opinion: The management actively recruits staff from the local University Tourism Dept. and supports local good cause organisations making this a worthwhile place to stay.

Teo Hotel
Grade: Medium
An old favourite in Battambang that is popular with local NGO staff and tour groups. It was built in the early 1990s and has a distinctive Khmer – Soviet architectural style. On the one hand it has a ‘tired’ feel, particularly the room’s furnishings and fittings, however on the other hand the rooms are immaculately clean and spacious with TV, aircon, fridge, and hot water. The restaurant is popular with locals and the staff are very professional and reliable.
Our opinion: A worthy alternative if other accommodation is unavailable.
