Victory Guesthouse is located on the main road that from Poipet to Siem Reap – as you enter Siem Reap it is located on the right hand side of the road. The rooms are simple, clean and comfortable. Hangtap Tours deposits tourists fresh from the Poipet border here.
The problem with this hotel is not the rooms but with the owner and staff. I arrived to look over the rooms at night and was told that it is not safe to walk around the town of Siem Reap at night – so I should just stay at this hotel. All the guide books I have read say Siem Reap is quite safe to walk around at night – I walked around at night for several nights and never felt uncomfortable.
The service was quite lousy here. At breakfast the person I was with did not even receive what she ordered. While eating several men stood hovering around at our table trying to listen in to our every word. During the meal they tried to get us to commit to going on one of their “tours”. Mr. Sok Mao is the director of this hotel – sambosay@yahoo.com Phone Number: (855) 12 516 566
