Really lovely stay. Such beautiful & caring staff. Excellent location walkable to all restaurants & cafes in town + waterfront. Good breakfast selection; the proposition is that you choose from an option on the set menu however, you can actually mix and match from any option!? The really wow-factor is the stunning art deco design elements everywhere; it has been so extraordinarily done, it’s absolutely stunning. Reception provided us with a taxi for 60USD for the day to explore the area; Kampot pepper farm, Kep area, salt flats and we also decided to take a few hours out at the Veranda Natural Resort near Kep to have coffee, patisserie and a swim in their beautiful pool just below the restaurant. Best to take a taxi for a day out as it’s far more comfortable than a tuk tuk and some of the roads can be mighty dusty.

If we had to highlight an area to improve, we’d recommend draining the plunge pool and giving the tiles a good scrub down. Besides this, it’s still a 200% great experience to stay there!!!

Absolutely must stay at Old Cinema

There isn’t a better place to stay in Kampot. The location, food, staff, comfort and service are amazing!!! They answer any and all questions about the area and are helpful to arrange a countryside tour with an excellent English speaking guide and assist with scooter rentals. Rooms are clean and comfortable and they have three sizes available. The smallest one good for 1 person, if 2 people, I recommend the middle size. The king suite has extra room and a second sink area and a huge balcony. All rooms have fan in addition to AC.

Our 3-night stay at Hotel Old Cinema was one of the highlights of our trip around Cambodia. The boutique accommodation, with its sublime art deco decor, features well-appointed suites, superb pool area and luxe bar.
The staff are fantastic, and breakfasts feel like a special occasion. Step out of the lobby onto the footpath and you are in amongst the action of Kampot.
A wonderful stay that comes with our highest recommendation.

Highly recommend staying here if you’re in Kampot!

This was an amazing stay. The staff were so friendly and went out of their way to make sure me and my friend were well looked after. We got some great food recommendations and they were so helpful in organising tours and tuk tuks. Unfortunately my friend fell ill whilst we were there and the staff were so kind and caring. The decor was amazingly done, it was such a stylish and chic place to stay!

This charming hotel blends art deco style with a tropical ambience, creating a unique and inviting atmosphere.The hotel’s design is well thought out with an innovative layout. The decor features vibrant shades of yellow and aqua with lush greenery, making it a visual delight.
The open-air layout and the surrounding tropical plants create a serene environment that feels like an oasis in the heart of Kampot. It’s the perfect place to relax and unwind. The staff at Hotel Old Cinema were incredibly welcoming and attentive. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable, providing excellent recommendations for local attractions. Every meal we had was a treat! The breakfast was particularly impressive, with a wide variety of options that were not only delicious but also beautifully presented.
We stayed in one of the superior king suites, which did not disappoint. The room was spacious and well-appointed, featuring a large balcony with an extra daybed that was perfect for relaxing.

The staff was excellent. Jilly (sp?) was lovely. She was so helpful and friendly and just such an engaging person . The food was excellent. The 2 cats that live there (Nina and Simone) were very sweet and friendly.

The location is great and you can walk to anything you want to see in town. If you want to visit a pepper farm the staff is happy to coordinate for you.

The only negative for me is that the beds are super duper firm. I like a soft mattress so it wasn’t comfortable for me, but if you don’t mind a really firm bed, this is the place for you.

When we first arrived at the hotel, we were a bit taken back by the outside appearance, but then when we entered a sanctuary opened up. The free standing facade is a left over from the old cinema, the hotel behind has been completed in 2019. The rooms are clean and cosely furnished, it feels like you are staying with friends. For staff and service i would give 10 stars, they are incredible. Breakfast is a la cart, and they always offer you extras which are not on the menu, best breakfast during our 2 weeks trip in Cambodia!

Outstanding! With one caution.

Extremely helpful and friendly staff. Good breakfast! Funky but tasteful decor -- real personality to the hotel. Great location in downtown Kampot. Did booked here for a second night. Would be my first choice again. One caution: the stairs in this building might present an accessibility challenge for older adults or people with injuries. So if you need wheelchair access or strongly prefer an elevator (to travel only one floor), this might not be your best choice. Otherwise, can recommend whole-heartedly and do plan to repeat business here next time I am in Kampot.

Great staff and great restaurant!

The staff was very friendly and attentive. Everything was great except that we did not have hot water for the last two days. We should have mentioned it earlier but we thought it would be fixed but it had not so we mentioned it upon check out and I think they said they would take a look at it. Other than that we were very pleased with our stay. They also have two super cute and friendly kitties that roam around the property! Restaurant had wonderful food too.

She and her staff bent over backwards to ensure our comfort. Nice pool, fun bar, excellent food, central location. Highly recommended!

L'équipe du Old cinema a fait de cet ancien cinéma des années 30, un hôtel plein de charme au coeur de Kampot en alliant une rénovation respectueuse de son histoire et une décoration soignée et personnalisée des propriétaires, qui sont aux petits soins de leurs clients (petit-déjeuner extra et conseils avisés).

Bravo et très belle continuation à vous!!!
