The hype
Travelers love the staff's warmth and the chill vibe, but the room lighting situation is a frequent dealbreaker.
Reservoir Hotels
$30-55/ nuit
Réservez si You want a budget-friendly wellness sanctuary with a pool that's just a 10-minute stumble from Pub Street but feels worlds away.
Pourquoi les gens l'adorent
- The 'St. Funky Land' address (actually Funky Lane) is a great conversation starter
- Daily yoga classes that actually happen
- A pool that stays refreshingly cool in the Cambodian heat
En bref : A solid value play for digital nomads and yogis, provided you dodge the windowless 'dungeon' rooms.
Évalué par @brittandmitchworldwide : I found the dreamiest spot in Cambodia! The pool is surrounded by lush greenery, and my room had this incredible stone bathtub that I never wanted to leave. It felt like a private sanctuary tucked away from everything. You have to stay here.
Ce que les clients qui ont séjourné ici ont dit
Reality check
The 'quiet' location is occasionally interrupted by noise from nearby bars or internal corridor traffic echoing into windowless rooms.
- You prioritize a clean pool and yoga over luxury bedding
- You want to be near the action but not sleeping directly on top of a bass speaker
- You are traveling on a backpacker budget but want 4-star service

Génie des chambres
Meilleurs choix

Génie de demande de chambre – copier & coller
“I am looking forward to my stay. Please ensure I am assigned a room with a real external window facing outside/pool, NOT an internal window facing the corridor. Natural light is a medical necessity for me.”
FAQ et astuces cachées
Tout ce que vous voulez vraiment savoir avant de réserver.
Is the pool actually heated?
No, and because it's shaded by the building, it stays quite cold. Refreshing in April, chilly in January.
How far is Pub Street?
A 10-12 minute walk. Close enough to go for dinner, far enough to escape the madness.
Do all rooms have windows?
Absolutely not. You must specifically book a 'Balcony' or 'View' room to guarantee daylight.
Is breakfast included?
Usually yes, served at Mocha & Krem. It's decent but portions can be on the smaller side.
Is the internet good for working?
Surprisingly good. Digital nomads often work from the Mocha & Krem cafe area without issues.
What is 'St. Funky Land'?
It's a quirky translation/nickname for 'Funky Lane' (or St. Funky Ln), the actual street name.
Conseils d'initiés
- ✨
The spa across the street (often unnamed or generic looking) offers massages for half the price of the hotel spa and is excellent.
- ✨
Happy hour at the hotel bar is often 2-for-1 but you have to ask for the specific menu.
- ✨
Ask for a room on the top floor to minimize overhead noise.
5 choses à savoir avant de partir
💡The 'internal window' rooms basically look into a dark hallway where people walk by.
💡The bathroom step-up is unusually high in some rooms—a toe-stubbing hazard.
💡Mocha & Krem's pancakes are locally famous but the muesli bowl is mostly oats.
💡You might spot a temple cat or two wandering the grounds (they are friendly).
💡The 'Gym' is very basic—think a few dumbbells and a yoga mat, not a fitness center.
