Suorkear Hotel

We live in southeast Asia, and this was one of the best places we've stayed so far. We spent a long weekend in Siem Reap with three young children and were seeking a quiet hotel for the family. We've done adventurous travel before, this trip was to be an easy short visit to Angkor Wat. Suorkear hotel was perfect for our family. The room was great, and the hotel restaurant fantastic. Ordinarily we try and eat out and about, but the food here was so good and affordable that there didn't seem much point looking elsewhere. The Khmer dishes were particularly good. The hotel staff were great. Each one was genuinely friendly and helpful. For this trip, we relied on them to arrange transport to and from the market area, and around the Angkor Wat area. The drivers were fantastic. Friendly, punctual, attentive and flexible, and best of all very patient with three hot, tired and sometimes loud young children. Back at the hotel, the kids liked the company of the staff who enjoyed spending time with them exploring the gardens. The tours arranged through the hotel were pretty much a chauffeured van for half days. We didn't want a guide, or to be stuck with a specific timetable so they were perfect for us. They were quite inexpensive as well. The hotel itself is well designed, and has nice gardens in the hotel grounds and adjacent spa. The kids loved the pool (and still miss it) and enjoyed poking around the grounds to find fish and lizards, Highly recommended.
