Marany Guesthouse, Kampot — Hotel in Kampot

Pricey for what we got. We were not advised that the room had no window. A/C was quiet, but Arctic. Could not turn the fan down, nor stop it pointing straight at the bed. The biggest surprise was the blanket - it was a large beach towel (would not cover two people) and did nothing to impede the freezing A/C breeze. We had to request a more substantial blanket (were given two small fleece blankets). Arrived mid-afternoon and, as soon as we were alone, a jack hammer started up in the room above.

For food, I highly recommend European quality dining for very reasonable prices at Auberge du Soleil and...

The main benefits of the guesthouse are the price and the beds. The price is affordable and the beds are soft. The AC in our room was strong. Make sure to ask for a room with a window.||||The location was a minor drawback. The guesthouse is not on the main strip along the river. It is a few minute walk from many of the best cafes and restaurants.||||The main drawback is the noise. We were woken up by construction starting early in the morning. One morning a child woke us up. The issue is the tile floors— they carry sound. Management seems aware of the problem, which is good. This issue may not be a problem in a few months after our trip— the street is quite...
