After being threatened and scammed while crossing the border from Bangkok into Cambodia through Poipet border crossing. I simply can’t wait to get into my hotel room to have a good rest.
Was pleasantly surprised to see a welcoming entrance with the mystical sculpture on the both side, it was indeed like a retreat. I entered and placed my belongings in the sitting area before checking-in.
To my surprised, I was looking high and low for my mobile phone. Many thoughts were running through my head, and I was worried that I might have left my mobile phone in the taxi. I got the hotel reception to contact the taxi driver, while I search through my belongings. With a sigh of relief, I found my phone peeking through the side of my backpack pocket. I quickly checked into my hotel and was given my keys on the second floor of the hotel.
The hotel does not have a lift, which was fine with me, I took the stairs up to the 2nd floor and can’t wait to get into my room to rest. I opened the hotel room and was simply invited to 2 comfy beds.
After a long sweaty day, I can’t wait to get a clean shower before heading to pub street. The toilet is brightly lighted with all the necessary amenities.
Nagara Angkor Boutique Hotel is located about 5 mins walk away from pub street which was super convenient, as I went to temple bar to watch the apsara dance that I mentioned in my previous post, A Must-Have Experience in Siem Reap, Cambodia. I bought a big jug of red bull vodka, and I didn’t expect the alcohol to be so strong. I was pretty tipsy and it took me less than 10 mins to walk back to my hotel.
The next morning, I was up early to have my breakfast at the hotel before I start exploring the beauty of Siem Reap.
Nagara Angkor Boutique Hotel is a 3.5 stars hotel that provides high-quality service, it is conveniently located near to pub street but not on pub street, which would be necessary to provide you with quality rest. It is a boutique-styled retreat with up to 36 rooms, and they provide connecting rooms if required. They provide free wifi and there are sufficient power plugs for all your gadgets. Dry cleaning services come at a cost/kg. Heading to Siem Reap soon? I would highly recommend you to check-in to Nagara Angkor Boutique Hotel.
This sounds a great hotel to stay in, with its location, comfy beds and pool. Glad you could recover from the scam too (poor you).
It’s nice to have a hotel away from the busy streets so you can get some peace and quiet. The Nagara Angkor looks lovely—will definitely keep this on the list if I find myself around Siem Reap!
Well that looks a million times better than the hostel I stayed at in Siem Reap! (Although they did do the best banana pancakes ever). That pool would have been so welcome after I spent the day cycling around the temples at Angkor.
We are heading to Thailand in September, so I am going to have to pop over to your other blog posts too. But this hotel looks really lovely. It also seems to have a great location. Quiet but close to the things you want to be close too. And a pool is always a bonus!
Looks great! Bookmarking for when we get to that part of the world. Now that we have so many gadgets, we are starting to notice the importance of charging plugs as well. It’s the first thing we look for now once we do a quick glance over the room.
Hi Bernard,
Great informative and inspiring travel blog! I have added your blog to my list of Singapore Travel Blogs. Cheers to local production and happy traveling! 🙂
Ah yes I stayed for a couple of months in Siem Reap and did the same horrible border cross (check my link below!). Glad you got a comfey hotel 🙂 🙂

Thanks for sharing Bernard. It looks so pristine and clean! I’d happily lay my head here after a long day exploring Cambodia 🙂
This place is gorgeous and the pool looks really refreshing. I’ve been to Angkor a few times but I’ll have to keep this place in mind if I go back!
Thanks for the review! This looks like an ideal place if ever I visit Siem Reap again!
this looks like a heavenly spot to relax in. i find it so important, especially in asia, to find places with clean washrooms and showers that work to clean off the grime from outside. the buffet looks lovely, quite an incredibly boutique hotel! will def keep this place in mind.
Why I love travel blogs such as yours is because they provide handy information and break myths. I didn’t know Cambodia had such fab properties.
Nice photo details of the hotel. Glad you were able to recover from your border crossing issues.
I have no idea when I might head to Siem Reap but this hotel looks amazing! Love the pool and outdoor area. Thanks for sharing!
I absolutely love boutique hotels and this looks like a beautiful one. Thanks for sharing, I’ll check it out. Happy travels 🙂
Sounds like a great option for a restful stay and yet be close enough to the action of pub street. I hope the rest of your journey is scam and threat free!
What a beautiful location! Everything about that location looks stunning, especially the pool and breakfast area! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Looks like a nice little hotel with all the facilities that a traveler may need. The pool is so inviting I just want to jump into it….
This place looks like a really great place to rest tired feet after a day of travelling! And the pool, how refreshing! I’ll definitely keep this place in mind if I ever visit Siem Reap.
Looks like a great value hotel! I think I could just relax one one of those chairs by the pool all day 🙂
It looks lovely! Much nicer than the $3 room I stayed in in Siem Reap 🙂
looks a lovely place to stay
