The room was nice and big—in need of repair and some basic renovation, but it was all right. The restaurant has a local charm to it, and the food is good. The thing with this place is the area: it’s on the fringe of town on a rough, dusty road where a bunch of locals live rough-and-ready. The vibe is fairly grim. No shops or cafes or food stalls. Just a few barking dust dogs and all kinds of crowing roosters. Some folks do tend to like an experience like this—maybe that’s you.

We eventually found the entrance - through a long lean-to for parking motorbikes.

On arrival, due to being less able, we were placed in a ground floor room -
The bed head had graffiti. Instead of bedside cabinets there was a single shelf between the twin beds that was at an angle such that no glass of water would stay put. The lighting was very poor. The towels had seen better days. The bathroom was very basic with duct tape around the shower tray/wall and dirty. We had to close the curtains as on arrival someone was defecating in the adjoining back yard!
The pool did not look inviting.

The breakfast was ok.

Would we stay again? The answer is a definite NO.

For only 5$ more per night our next travel stop was one created for Kings (absolutely beautiful) - so it was not the price!

Great stay

The place is a great stay for a couple of days. You can easily go to see the river dolphins from here and enjoy the town.
The service is great. They even offer free Rikshaw drives to town. They also change dollars and help you organise cheap bus tickets to other towns.
The food was great too here and the happy hour ensures you get nice cocktails for very little money.

The pool could be cleaned a bit more frequently and the property in general could do with a little more maintenance but for this price, an amazing place to stay!

This moderate hotel was a good value for the price, especially the huge 2-double bed room. It had the expected amenities: AC, fridge, big bathroom, big open air dining area (much more agreeable in the daytime) and booking service for on-going travel (minivans to Doh Det in Laos.
The only thing I didn’t like was the location, a tuk-tuk ride or hot walk from the older French colonial part of the city on the Mekong River.

Pleasant stay

With the expectation that you're staying in rural Cambodia this place hits all the marks- big room, working air con, hot powerful shower, clean, working toilet, adequately comfortable bed, good value for money. Very lovely and helpful staff who speak English.
It's a bit of a walk into the main part of town where the bus drops you off and main restaurants and amenities are. Tuk tuks aren't plentiful so be prepared to walk which we didn't mind.
It's a little run down and could use some renovations but overall a good stay.

The hotel was great, we knew it was out of town but they had tuk tuks to take you in and it was only a couple of $ to get back. The wait staff, cleaning staff and drivers were great and really friendly. The guy on reception was a bit off in his manner. We booked the bus to Siem Riep with him and we didn't get what was promised! They were supposed to drop us at our hotel but were dropped a few kms from town as 'he didn't go any further, the aircon didn't work properly and we seemed to stop at every village for a delivery. On the plus side it only arrived 15 mins aftwr promised.

If you need a pool

Everything it promises is delivered, but with a few rough edges. It's about 2km from town on a dusty back block, but as others have said there is a free tuk tuk. Used their transport service to the dolphins and for a taxi to Phnom Penh, all good and fairly priced. There is a pool which I used without any problems but i think it could be cleaner. Staff all friendly and helpful. It's OK but if a pool isn't important you can probably get better value along the riverside.

Good value for money

An okay stay, good value for money and whilst there is no getting away from the fact that it is quite a way out of town, the free Tuk Tuk service worked really well. Recommend getting bus tickets from the hotel as opposed to in town as cheaper and on time (we went for the latter and got overcharged and left 90 minutes later than planned!). WiFi rarely worked in rooms, only in reception areas.

Clean hotel with a pool

Nice staff. Has a nice little pool with loungers, a restaurant, bar and free tuktuk to bring you into town which is nice as the location is a bit isolated. Downsides: not on the river front or in town, so random location. Our AC was too weak to actually cool down our room so it was really hot at night.

Comfortable base on the Mekong

Very friendly and efficient staff helped to arrange our upriver trip to see the Dolphins. Rooms were spacious but a little tired but the restaurant, which we ate in over our 4 days as the hotel is on the edge of town, is very good and very popular. It has the only swimming pool in town ( very much appreciated) and provides a free tuck- tuck service into town for guests.

Great place to stay in Kratie

I stayed here for three nights and had a great stay. They picked me up with a tuk tuk from the bus station and brought me to the hotel. It is located little distance away from the city center but they have free tuk tuk service there. The check in and out was fast and easy. The room was very clean, had good hot water, strong wifi, comfortable bed and a balcony. The staff are friendly and always said hi and greeted me. The pool is clean and very relaxing. I ate at their restaurant and found the value and food to be excellent. They also rent motorbikes. If you want a great stay and value in Kratie, this is the place.

Only hotel in town with a pool

This is a newly opened hotel on the outskirts of Kratie. They provide a free tuk tuk service to and from Kratie making it an easy place to be. Its advantage is that it has a pool although the small pool area is unfinished (muddy loose tiles). There is also a basic but perfectly good gym in the basement (aircon control and towels from reception). Its boiling down in the gym so set the air con before you go in!
Room was large and comfortable with good decor. Towels not always washed or dried well, so a few times they were just plain smelly.
Staff, friendly and hospitable. Their curiousity towards us Westerners is evident. More attention to detail would be good, e.g. If your website advertises slippers/nice toiletries jn rooms, then provide them.
All hotels have noise. This one: it's in a small village settlement, therefore dogs, birds etc and of course everyone gets up very early to work. We woke at 5.30 most mornings and went to bed early. Lastly, maybe not so cool to have lots of staff hanging about doing very little and/or watching people by pool area. It tends to make women fee, uncomfortable. However, overall, don't be put off. It is a lovely hotel in the making
