Khemara Battambang I Hotel — Hotel in Battambang

This was my 2nd stay here. Was with a team for 5 days. The rooms are nice enough. House Keepers are wonderful. ||They serve brunch here every morning but I found a gem across the street- Home Coffee Cafe! It's worth staying at this hotel just to walk across the street for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Or you could just grab a latte and read a book!||The hotel has a huge foyer for business meetings. The rooms are large with cable television (not fancy - no flat screen in my room) and wifi. You are given two bottles of water per day and basic toilitries. I brought a hair dryer. I did not see one there.||The corriders floors are very spacious with side lounges to relax or have a meeting. The corrider floors don't appear very kept up but swept and washed. They've lost their glitter. ||Security is good. Good size bathrooms with granite counter tops and glass showers. ||You get more here than...

A less glamorous cousin of the hotel building next to it. Staff are polite but not very helpful, while some speak minimum amount of English.

Visiting the coffee shop in the evening is more encouragable, as long as you can take the 33% chances of staff missing or messing up...

Stayed here for 4 days. Hotel had a musty/moldy type smell to it in the hallways, probably because Cambodia is quite humid. The room was decent and air conditioning worked great. Our bathroom smelled really moldy, but the room didn't seem to smell. Wifi was slow. Staff were friendly, but didn't have very good English. Got a foot massage there, which was good, but slightly awkward as the masseuse didn't speak much English, and wanted me to change into shorts (I was wearing jeans) right there in the room, where there was a glass door that had others walking by in the hallway who could see in, and there were two other people in the room, slightly awkward, but it was cheap. There is a nice looking pool, though I didn't go it, but I'm assuming it was good. For the price it was, thought this place was an ok...
