Hotel Old Cinema

We really enjoyed our stay here and will definitely choose it again. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. They also took the time to help us find a tour while we are with them. We really enjoyed our welcoming letter and felt the personalization was a great touch. The breakfast the next morning was very yummy and filling You can’t go wrong staying in this hotel! 

Hotel ideally located for an easy access to the city center of Kampot. The hotel is well designed despite the sizes of the rooms which are smaller than what you can usually get in Cambodia for this room rate. The women running the hotel are lovely and really helpful. They helped organizing a one day tour of the countryside to La Plantation and to Kep. The tuktuk driver that they recommended was really nice and interesting. He spoke good English. They offered to cook the breakfast for takeaway as we had to leave early. Will definitely come back.

There is soooo much to love about this little hotel. It has been beautifully renovated and the daily breakfast was superb. The central location to old Kampot is perfect for exploring the historical centre and river front. The staff were exceptional and super helpful. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 simply based on the comfort of the bedding. Without a doubt these are the hardest beds I've slept on in SE Asia. It was like sleeping on floorboards. The wonderful owner arranged a mattress topper immediately which made a small difference however it was still super uncomfortable.

This is a really lovely place to stay in Kampot. The conversion from a cinema to a hotel is very successful. The reception area is spacious with a great dining, bar an pool area. Very colourful. Very Wes Anderson. The room was spacious - the murals and all the detailing are great. All the staff were a pleasure to interact with. Highly recommend

Great location! Unique little hotel in the middle of Kampot with a great history. The staff were all wonderful! They organised 2 days of trips for us with local drivers which we enjoyed very much. Communication before we arrived was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend.

Excellent stay from start to finish. So glad we booked here for our 4 days in Kampot. Beautiful old cinema building stunningly restored in 2019 in true Art Deco style. Decorated beautifully and thoughtfully throughout in pastel shades, strikingly reminiscent of Ocean Drive Miami Art deco buildings, with an abundance of towering palm trees, plants and greenery in the entrance/reception area with it's open roof. Our room (Superior King Suite Room 108) was huge with an outside private balcony overlooking the pool. Spotlessly clean with superb air-con, a fridge is provided along with a kettle and tea/coffee making facilities. Shower gel and shampoo are provided. The room smelt absolutely beautiful of botanicals when we first walked in. Breakfast was a highlight every morning, what an amazing choice, and each breakfast dish was a work of art! Lovingly made fresh to order and presented on a wooden serving platter, almost too pretty to eat!! Top marks to the chef and kitchen staff. The staff and Management were also all wonderful, so welcoming and friendly. Bas the owner, Jilly, Sokun at Reception and a huge shout out to the beautiful Lin who served our breakfast in the restaurant, she was an absolute joy each morning, so bright and friendly, always smiling and so helpful, nothing was too much trouble for her. She was simply delightful and what an asset she is to this already brilliant hotel. Location couldn't be better, a stones throw from the Durian roundabout and straight across the road you're immediately in the beautiful small side streets of Kampot where all the bars/restaurants are, plus only a short 5 minute walk straight down to the Riverfront. Don't hesitate to book this hotel for your stay in Kampot but book early as it's popular and you can see why - you will not be disappointed. Absolutely faultless.
