Choose a Hotel With a Children's Pool
A children's pool gives young swimmers their own space. Golden Temple Residence lists an outdoor pool and a separate children's pool, with adult supervision listed for children under 11. Memoire D 'Angkor Boutique Hotel lists a swimming pool and a kids' pool. Khmer House Resort lists outdoor pools and a children's pool.
The pools for kids guide lists the questions to send about depth, fencing and shade. For more pool stays, read hotels with a pool under 60 dollars.
Location: Temples or Town
Families usually weigh two things: the morning ride to the temples and the evening walk to dinner. Street 30 and Preah Sihanouk Avenue shorten the ride to Angkor Wat, which helps with early starts and tired children. The Sok San Road and Sivuth Boulevard area keeps the Old Market and restaurants within a short ride.
Pick by location
- Short temple ride: Shintana Saya La Maison, Shintana Saya Residence and Tara Angkor Hotel.
- Close to the Old Market: Golden Temple Residence and Memoire D 'Angkor Boutique Hotel.
- Pools and a children's pool: Khmer House Resort on Palm Street.
- Distances are straight-line kilometres, so allow for the road route.
The areas guide compares the neighbourhoods, and hotels near Angkor Wat, the airport and Pub Street lists distances.
What to Confirm by Age and Group Size
Rooms and beds differ more than the hotel names suggest. Send the hotel your exact group before you pay.
Confirm with the hotel
- Toddlers: ask for a cot, stairs-free access and early meal times, as the toddlers guide explains.
- Ages 5 to 12: ask for a family room or two connected rooms, so children sleep close.
- Teenagers: ask about triple or quad rooms, or two rooms side by side, in the groups guide.
- Groups of five or more: ask whether an extra bed fits and what the policy on occupancy says.
- Everyone: ask for the room type in writing and keep the reply.
The family rooms guide shows how to book the right room type, and the kids activities guide covers play options.
Planning a Family Day Around the Hotel
Temples reward an early start and a long break. Families who book a hotel with a pool build the day around that rhythm: sunrise or early morning at Angkor, a return to the hotel before the strongest sun, a swim and a rest, then a gentle evening in town.
A family day
- 1Morning: temples with water, hats and snacks, back before the heat peaks.
- 2Midday: lunch and a swim at the hotel pool, with an adult beside young children.
- 3Afternoon: rest, a short walk or a visit to the Old Market area.
- 4Evening: dinner close to the hotel, so tired children sleep early.
- 5Next day: a lighter plan, such as a cooking class or a visit to a village.
A hotel close to the temples on Street 30 shortens the morning ride, while a hotel near the Old Market shortens the evening walk. Pick the one that matches the part of the day your family finds hardest. Message the hotel with your dates, the number of adults and the ages of the children, then compare the replies. Review counts help too: Tara Angkor Hotel holds more than 1,800 reviews and Golden Temple Residence more than 800, so you can read many family comments before you decide.
Booking the Family Stay
High season runs from November to February and family rooms fill early. The rainy season, roughly May to October, brings lower rates and clear mornings for temple visits. Compare the total with taxes on Agoda and Booking.com for your exact party size and choose a rate with free cancellation while plans are still moving. The monthly price guide helps you choose a window, and booking early in the high season keeps more family rooms available.
If you want a lower budget, read the cheap hotels guide. For more comfort, read the mid-range hotels guide. For resorts above about 100 dollars a night, see the luxury hotels guide.
