Housing options in Battambang have become better only relatively recently. Today, the tourist offers an excellent choice of housing of all categories: about 40 guest houses, pieces of 60 in-minced hotels, a couple of hostels and villas for a large family or a company of friends. There are hotels in Battambang outside the city, which is suitable for those who appreciate a calm and relaxed rest.
By the way, about hotels. There are no five-star hotels in this town. Star starts from 4 pieces: such hotels in Seven, and the most decent and comfortable of them are considered Maisons Wat Kor 4 * and Delux Villa 4 * Practically in the city center. By the way, the rooms are relatively inexpensive: about $ 50 per night (number for two). At the same time, in Delux Villa 4 * during special shares, as well as in a low season, the room can be survived for only 30 dollars. Hotels in the category 1 *, 2 * and 3 * are the most popular type of housing, and, accordingly, rooms in such places are cheaper. As you can see, the prices in this city are quite acceptable, we can say low, compared to hotels of the same star, let's say, in Burma, so that you can easily stay and not for two days, not particularly spending.
In recent years, purely tourists arriving in Battambang increased markedly, so, in the most decent hotels and guest houses, rooms can be occupied - booking is recommended.
For those whose budget is limited, can be recommended, for example, Gasthus Here Be Dragons . Cool, with a pleasant atmosphere and friendly atmosphere, and not least, with creative name, this hotel becomes a priority choice for backpeckers. The house is located in the center, but at the same time in a quiet place, and the building of the guest house is an old villa in Art Deco style on the eastern bank of Sangar. The house is surrounded by a garden, and offers a restaurant and bar (where they can prepare everything from fried rice and sandwiches to mashed potatoes, squid and hot). The rooms are quite simple, but clean and not too close, with fans or air conditioners. There is a slightly more expensive rooms with hot or cold water. Beds in general rooms cost from $ 3 to $ 10 per night.
Another same inexpensive guest house - Tomato Guesthouse. (# 119 Street 3.5). Prices are stunning: The bed in the common room can be removed almost for $ 1.50, and the rooms for two are less than five bucks, depending on the size. Naturally, do not expect any luxury for the money, but the rooms are more or less clean, with sockets and lamps next to each bed, as well as a large roof bar. The guest house serves a small selection of Khmer and Western cuisine at ridiculous prices (hamburgers from $ 2, omelet for $ 1, and fried noodles with meat - for $ 2). The owner speaks good English, and behaves extremely friendly with guests. In addition, Gasthus is located in the city center, but not in the thick of the movement.
Tourists on the budget can be advised and Ganesha Family Guesthouse. . This is a relatively new addition to the list of accommodation options in the town. There is a guesthouse on a very pretty street, and offers six rooms and two common rooms that are usually occupied completely in a high season. This is a well-equipped guest house with cafes, bicycle and motorcycle rentals, billiard table, WiFi and even plans for the organization of cinema hall. The rooms are clean, the windows are equipped with mosquito nets, most rooms have balconies. The bed in the common room is from $ 5, a room for two with a private bathroom - about 10 dollars per day.
Next, consider a few more dear hotels, which will not hit the pocket. And first of all, it THE COCONUT HOUSE. which is a bit outside the city, five minutes drive to Tuk-Tuka. This is an excellent and pragmatic choice, especially for those who are looking for a place for long-term residence. The rooms have in two buildings - if you agree to hard mattresses, choose the old case with more spacious, albeit with such beautiful rooms. The new building brought to mind, of course. Rooms in traditional style, with dark, heavy furniture. There is near the hotel and the pool, well, in the restaurant it is prepared very solid and inexpensive (vegetables, brown rice plus meat or a vegetarian version of your choice for only $ 4.50-5). You can rent a room for a month here for only $ 270-300, but the room for two per night (with a private bathroom) costs only about 13-15 bucks.
Also an inexpensive option (but more expensive than previous gesthouses) - Royal Hotel 3 * . This is an old and popular option - indeed, for many years this hotel was almost the only option for housing in all Battambang! Well, today it offers a good value for money, plus its location is excellent, and there are many rooms in it (116), so you always have a chance to remove the room, even without prior booking. However, due to age, the hotel has its own minuses. For example, there is no elevator - and if the number on the 5th floor, climb the bags is hard. The lobby in the hotel is close, and the garden on the roof of the desperate requires reconstruction. The rooms have hot water (shower), cable TV and Wi-Fi. If there are almost no people in the hotel, then you can make a discount on air-conditioned rooms (which sometimes do not even even include). Standard rooms for two are about 15 dollars here, the rooms are better - from 25.
Even cheaper than this - Lux Guesthouse. , with flawlessly clean rooms and all modern amenities, including air conditioning, hot water, cable television, very valid minibar and Wi-Fi (if you hardly need the Internet, it is better to book rooms closer to the hotel). The staff of the hotel is talking in excellent English. This place can also be recommended for those who are planning a long-term stay in the city. The room on one with a bathroom here costs from $ 8, for two - about 10, and for the presence of an air conditioner will have to pay a pair of dollars per room.
Inexpensive hotel - Star Hotel 3 * . One of the most friendly and most imperious affordable hotels in the city. As in many Chinese hotels and hotels in Khmer-style in Battambang, the lobby here are impressive, with massive wooden furniture and tiles. But again, no elevator, although in the hotel there are many people who want to convey the bags. The rooms differ significantly: from huge to frankly small, and some even there are no windows, so be careful. Everywhere there are showers or bathrooms, air conditioning or fans, the breakfast included in the price is possible. And yes, the hotel is located just five minutes walk from the market.
The hotel is about the same price category - SENGHOUT HOTEL 3 * . With prices, like in a hostel, but look at exactly exactly the hotel. The location is central, north of the market and quarter from the river; There is a swimming pool and a large rooftop terrace, which provides panoramic views of the city and surroundings.
