Stung Sangke Hotel

I spent two nights here as part of a self-driving road trip. This hotel is a classic Asian-style city-center hotel. Reminds me of my favorite hotel in Bangkok. Yes, it's a bit dated and could use a remodel or at least a coat of paint, but it has that old Asian charm, character, and generous use of wood, that you won't find in modern construction. The room and bathroom were clean enough, and the bedding, pillows, linen, towels, etc. were fine. The air-conditioning, hot water and internet worked fine. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I had the hotel do a large load of laundry and it was reasonably priced. There is ample parking for folks who self-drive. I booked through Agoda from the hotel lobby as Agoda's price was slightly lower than the walk-in rate and I wanted to pay for the room by credit card. The price was around $30 USD per night.

Stayed only for one night as it was a quick stop to Battambang. Hotel is pretty dated, like its stuck in the 80s/90s. No power outlets beside the bed. The outlet closest to the bed(on the counter beside the kettle) did not work, I charged my phone in the bathroom, until I found another outlet under the dresser. The airconditioning was abit weak even at the lowest temperature. An old tv with alot of channels but the reception is bad so you're watching shows with alot of static. When it rains(which it did), there's no signal so nothing to watch in the end. Power went out twice. Assumed it was the technician doing work and power tripped. Breakfast was a buffet but average at best. The front desk staff could have been a little more friendlier. Not much smiling. If you just need a place to sleep, this place will do. Otherwise, best to find somewhere else.

Es war gut zu wissen, wieviel es kostet wenn man den alten Röhrenfernseher klaut (90 $). Auch war es sehr nett, dass beim Check-Out kontrolliert wurde, dass man nichts im Zimmer „vergessen“ hat. Es gab eine vergilbte und verkalkte Badewanne mit Duschvorhang.

The hotel looks really good from the outside but the interior is somewhat old and lifeless. The furniture in the room is very dated; had to plug in the lamps on my own before switching them on. The pillow was weird; couldn’t sleep well until I adjusted it a few times. The lobby and lifts were not well-ventilated and were quite hot. Just glad it was a very short stay.
