When I travel to Asia I always search for 5 star hotels first. I don\u2019t want to offend anyone but the hygiene standard is a bit different in Asia compared to Europe (plus I am allergic to all kinds of shit), and usually 5 star hotels are quite affordable. Luckily this was also the case in Siem Reap, where you can get high quality hotels for less than 60 USD per night (2 persons, breakfast and airport transfer included). Grand Elsyee La Residence was the most reasonable and cheapest choice (by the way if you want to save 15\u20ac with your next booking, make a reservation through this link<\/a>), the reviews were fantastic and the location seemed ok as well. Once again it proved that I have chosen wisely \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Location<\/strong><\/p>\n

Grand Elysee La Residence is around 20 minutes\u2019 taxi drive away from Siem Reap airport and less than 10 minutes\u2019 tuk tuk ride to the popular Pub Street and Old market. Angkor temples, which is probably the reason you will visit Siem Reap in the first place, is about 20 minutes away with tuk tuk \u2013 so I can say the location is pretty convenient. If you are up to it you can also walk to some places, but for us it was too hot and we were tired after seeing the temples. Tuk tuk ride to Pub street only costs 2 USD so it\u2019s not worth the trouble. The hotel provides one way airport transfer for free, and the ride back will cost you 15 USD by taxi or 10 USD by tuk tuk.<\/p>\n

Rooms<\/strong><\/p>\n

We stayed in room 508 with pool view, and it was really nice. The rooms are spacious, with lots of light and very modern design. The bed and the pillows are comfortable, you are provided with bathrobes, complimentary tea and coffee, 2 bottles of water per day and of course all the necessary toiletries. We found the bathroom especially sexy, the design is simple and fantastic. The only thing I resent the architect is the separate toilet with no sink (you have to go to the bathroom to wash hands).<\/p>\n
