Upon arrival at the Golden Temple Residence, I was promptly greeted by Joey and her team. They facilitated an early check-in and offered freshly squeezed lemon juice and snacks as I waited.
The room was spacious with a notable Khmer design, a refreshing change from the typical hotel rooms in Cambodia. The staff's attentiveness was evident as they consistently addressed me by name. The breakfast buffet was practical, offering a decent spread to kickstart a day of temple visits. Joey was particularly helpful, always available to answer questions and offer advice.
After a rain-soaked visit to Angkor Wat, Joey kindly arranged for hot tea with honey and a lemon drink to be sent to my room - a gesture that was much appreciated. The hotel's smaller size contributes to its more personalised atmosphere. Its central location is a major plus, being just a short walk from bar street and numerous dining options. Ben's Corner cafe, located nearby, served quality coffee and meals.
The spa facilities were clean and well-maintained, with the back, shoulder and head massage being a standout after a day of exploration.
In summary, the attentive staff and the hotel's prime location make the Golden Temple Residence a solid choice for anyone visiting Siem Reap. I'd definitely consider staying again.
