Top Hotels Near Wat Samathi in Kep from AU$18

"We stayed 3 nights at Mealea Resort in the Mealea Suite Room. The location is quite good, with all the crab restaurants and market within 100 meters. There is an ATM and a small supermarket nearby as well. The main town area and beach are about 1km away. It was not difficult to get a tuk-tuk outside the hotel. The suite room is large and was quite clean. It is showing signs of it's age and could use a refurbishment. We used the small private patio. The water in the small pool was cold and we didn't get in past our knees, unfortunately. The staff members are friendly, although English language was a bit of problem with some staff. Rin, the manager (I think) was excellent and his English skills were very good. "

"Good location and a relaxing stay with friendly staffs. "

"Beautiful resort, great food, and it’s delightful to be right on the beach. Unfortunately the room isn’t designed well. The bathroom looks beautiful, but using the tub wasn’t possible due to mosquitoes. Further, the door between the toilet and tub is a glass shower door, so the exterior door and its tall threshold is between the toilet and the bed, so anyone who needs the toilet in the middle of the night has to fumble with the key and chain and risk tripping over the threshold. There is also a pendant light hanging low over the outlet for the hairdryer so that even average height people will bump into it while drying their hair. This is not the experience I expect at this price point, and it should have been easy enough to avoid: screen in the outdoor bathroom, install the exterior door and its tall threshold on the exterior, and raise the pendant light. The staff could also use more training. It was repeatedly pointed out that we were only staying one night. Of course it’s good to confirm this once at check in, but beyond that unsolicited comments on travel plans feel awkward. There was also a situation at breakfast where the staff seated us, then inquired about our room number, then pointed out that they had reserved a different table for us. Again, awkward! If tables are reserved for certain rooms, staff should confirm guests’ room numbers before seating them. If a mistake was made, why make that the guests’ problem? Lots of potential; just needs a few improvements."

"This place was really sweet. I would stay again for sure! My view was incredible. It was a 10 min walk from the crab market and restaurants and a 20 minute walk from the beach. Friendly staff. Clean rooms. I liked it because it was a tad up the mountain so really quiet but still close enough to walk to things. Also, you can walk up to the national park in about 5 minutes. There is a cute coffee shop up there. (Need to pay park fee). Totally recommend. So fun. I spent tons of time on the balcony enjoying my amazing view. A couple of things to note. The restaurant is not operational so you need to go out for food. Also, the pool is older. Not so clean and lots of broken tiles. I saw people swimming but I didn't go. "

"I rise in love with this place! The setting, amenities and facilities was perfectly designed. Quiet and welcoming. It feels like rainbow magic forest. The room is very clean and it has everything you need. Having a kitchen is a big win. The team is very lovely people. The Kep Paradise! I want to come every year just to chill here. That’s how I felt! 100 stars! "

"We really like the couple who run the place. Super friendly and helpful. We walked the 8 kilometer loop around the national park and enjoyed that. Really great views."

"I enjoyed my stay. The staff was extremely nice and helpful. Huge room, very clean, no complaints"

"Large room all 8 rooms had a sea view it was a bit out the way but a tuk tuk was only $2 to the crab market we walked back at a slow stroll and it took us about 45 minutes with lots of food carts along the way. The pool area was very quiet the only down side could be for some that there was only one parasol. Breakfast cooked to order overall I would recommend this small hotel."

"Staff very friendly, only stayed 1 night. The air conditioning really did not cool the room needs to be replaced or repaired. The door handle and lock needs to be replaced and or updated it seemed like it was ready to fall off. The view was very nice. Good location. For the price compared to other hotels I was disappointed considering the air conditioning and door lock. No elevator so if you do go there understand you’re gonna carry your luggage up and downstairs..other that those things it was a nice stay. "
