Shinta Mani Angkor is a luxury boutique hotel in Siem Reap's Royal District, designed by architect Bill Bensley, with 105 rooms and suites. The rooms and suites carry Angkor-inspired design, and the category names echo the temples: Bayon and Angkor for the rooms and suites, and Bensley for the pool villas.
This page lines the categories up from the entry room to the villa, gives you a pick rule based on what the hotel lists, and ends with the booking steps. Guest comments on sleep and noise change often, so the page tells you where to read the newest ones rather than quoting any.
The ladder of room categories
Categories as listed on the hotel's pages

The pick rule: space, view, privacy, budget
Choose by your first priority
- Budget and a short stay: the Bayon Room. It sleeps 2 and puts you in a Bensley-designed space at the entry step of the ladder.
- View: the Angkor Superior, which faces the Angkor lap pool or tropical vegetation. Ask which outlook your room has when you book.
- Layout: the Bayon Junior Suite, with a king bedroom and a separate living room, suits a couple who want a place to sit apart from the bed.
- Bathroom: the Bayon Executive Suite, where the listed bathroom has a walk-in rain shower and a deep soaking tub.
- Family or extra space: the Angkor Deluxe, at 78 sq.m. with room for an additional bed.
- Privacy and quiet: a Bensley Pool Villa, with a private pool, a rooftop sky lounge and a butler.
Standard room or suite?
A standard-category room is the sensible choice for a stay of one or two nights, especially when your days are filled with temples. A suite or villa starts to earn its price at three nights or more, when you want a place to unwind between outings.
Pool access
The resort has two pools. The Bayon Pool is 23 meters (75 feet) long, and the Angkor Pool is flanked by palms and suited for swimming laps. The Angkor Superior rooms face the Angkor lap pool, which makes that category the natural pick for swimmers. Villa guests have their own private pool as well.
Families
Google Maps marks the hotel as good for children, and the Angkor Deluxe is the category the hotel describes as ideal for families. Confirm the bed arrangement for children when you book.
Sleep, noise and cleanliness: what to check
The hotel pages list room features and sizes but do not describe noise levels or cleanliness scores, and this page does not quote guests. Recent reviews on Agoda and Booking.com are the best place to read about sleep, noise and bathrooms for the category you are considering.
Where the hotel's page leaves a detail open, ask directly. The hotel phone number on Google Maps is +855 63 964 123, and you can ask about your preferred outlook or a quiet location.
Why design and purpose shape the choice
Before it became a boutique hotel, the property was a tuition-free hospitality school, and the school still operates within the complex. The Shinta Mani Foundation, established by Bill Bensley and Sokoun Chanpreda, is funded in part by room revenues, so each night supports the work of the school and the foundation.
Guests who like their stay to fund a local cause often see this link as part of the value of the room, whichever category they choose. The Shinta Mani Angkor review tells that story in full.
