Sokha Angkor Resort is one of the few large resorts that describes itself as being in the heart of Siem Reap, and the hotel's own location lines back that up. The sections below put the area first, then the rides to Angkor, the Old Market area and the airport, and finish with a method for comparing prices.
A price band by season is not stated on the pages reviewed for this guide, so the page says so plainly and shows how to get a reliable figure for your dates. For the overall verdict, see the Sokha Angkor resort review.
The area and what is around it
The official site places the hotel in the heart of Siem Reap and says Pub Street and the Night Market are within walking distance. Oyster describes a 10 minute walk to Pub Street, which gives you a feel for the scale. A golf course is listed 10 minutes by car on the official site.
For a traveller, the benefit is flexibility. After a day at the temples you can return, swim in the large salt water pool, and still reach town on foot for the evening. The resort lists three restaurants and one bar of its own, so you can also stay in for dinner.
Good to know about the area
- Pub Street and the Night Market: within walking distance per the official site
- Angkor Wat temples: a 10 minute drive per the official site
- Golf course: 10 minutes by car per the official site
- Exact address and map pin: to be confirmed on the hotel's page
Distances and ride times
The official site gives a 10 minute drive to the Angkor Wat temples and 15 minutes to the airport. Oyster describes a 10 minute drive to the temples and the airport as well. These figures are consistent between the two on the temples, but the airport line deserves care, as the next section explains.
Ride times depend on traffic, the entrance you choose and the time of day, so treat them as typical rather than guaranteed and ask the hotel for current timing when you book.
The airport leg, with a caution
A new airport opened on 16 October 2023 in Soutr Nikom District. Sources differ on its distance from Siem Reap, giving figures from about 40 km to about 50 km from the city, and drive-time estimates run from 55 minutes to 1 h 30 depending on the source and mode. Against the hotel's 15 minute figure, ask the hotel for its current transfer time and price before you arrive.
The facilities list mentions an airport limousine service, according to the hotel's page. Whether it is free or charged, and what it costs, is to be confirmed on the hotel's page.
The price band by season
The pages reviewed do not state a nightly rate or a seasonal band for Sokha Angkor. A price band is therefore to be confirmed for your dates on the hotel's page and on Agoda and Booking.com.
For context on seasons, Intrepid notes that December to March is a popular period when Angkor is very busy, while it suggests the start or end of the wet season for smaller crowds with occasional showers. Sources differ on exactly when the wet season starts and ends. Comparing two or three date windows on the booking sites is the most reliable way to see how the rate moves.
What changes the rate
- Room category: the Deluxe rooms are 38 square meters, the Royal Sokha Suite 320 square meters
- View: city, temple or street view versus pool view with a private balcony
- Dates: busy periods versus quieter ones
- Inclusions: Oyster says breakfast at The Lotus is free, so check what your rate covers
The booking rule
Enter the same dates, room category and number of guests on both Agoda and Booking.com, compare the totals with taxes, and read the cancellation terms before you click. Check-in and check-out times were not found on the pages reviewed, so confirm them on the hotel's page.
To compare, the Angkor Palace location and prices page covers a resort with a different position, and the Sokha Angkor rooms guide and dining and spa options round out your planning. If you plan an Angkor day, buy tickets only at the Angkor Ticket Office: the official site states it is the only place that sells entrance tickets.
