Identity and Atmosphere at Viroth's Hotel
The hotel says it stands on a leafy street in the centre of Siem Reap, and its address is Street 24, Wat Bo Village. The design takes its cue from the 1950s, which gives the property a recognisable personality rather than a generic resort look.
The family behind it has a long history in town. The first Viroth property, The Angkor Cafe opposite Angkor Wat, was leased in 2000. Viroth's Villa was built in 2007 with 7 rooms and was extended and refurbished in 2018, and OKO Gallery, a sister property, opened in 2019. The hotel itself followed in 2015, about 5 minutes from the earlier villa.
The hotel lists TripAdvisor Traveler's Choice 2018 among its awards and says it has received several world-acclaimed awards since opening. Google Maps marks it as good for children and lists a wheelchair-accessible entrance and parking.
Rooms and Suites: 35 Rooms for a Calm Stay
The hotel has 35 guestrooms: 31 Deluxe rooms and 4 Suites. A smaller room count suits guests who value a quieter, more personal pace. Room amenity lists include concealed air-conditioning, an electronic safe, a mini bar and tea and coffee facilities.
What to expect from the room range
- Deluxe rooms: 31 of the 35 rooms, a good base for couples and solo travellers.
- Suites: 4 in total, each measuring 60 sq.m including a private terrace of 10 sq.m.
- Suite Pool View: lists a bathtub, a welcome extra for a slow evening.
- Deluxe room sizes and views are confirmed on the hotel's rooms page.
If you travel as a couple, a Suite with its own terrace offers the most space for the stay. Families can read the hotel's children policy on its own page, since it is not listed in the facts we reviewed.
Pool, Spa and Dining at Viroth's Hotel
The pool is a 20 m long salt water pool, open 07:00 to 22:00, and the hotel bar near the swimming pool is open 10:00 to 23:00. Dining is offered in an air-conditioned dining room, an open-air restaurant or by the pool.
Spa and gym
The spa overlooks a pond and vertical gardens and is open 10:00 to 22:00. It offers traditional and international body and beauty treatments. An air-conditioned gym with cardiovascular equipment sits within the spa and is open 07:00 to 22:00.
Restaurant and bar
The hotel restaurant and bar serves international dishes and a seasonal Khmer menu. A la carte breakfast is served from 06:00 to 10:00, and lunch and dinner from 11:00 to 22:30, which makes it easy to fit meals around early temple starts.
Why the facilities work for couples
- A salt water pool for a refreshing break between temple visits.
- A spa with garden views for a quiet evening.
- Meals at the pool, in the open air or indoors, depending on your mood.
Who Will Love Viroth's Hotel, and Who Might Prefer Another
Verdict by traveller profile
- Design-minded couples: a strong match, thanks to the 1950s-inspired style, the terrace Suites and the 4.9 Google rating.
- Short-stay guests: a central street and a 15-minute ride to Angkor Wat make it easy to fit sunrise or sunset visits around a short trip.
- Travellers who enjoy an unusual tour: the hotel offers city or temples tours in a vintage limousine for 3 to 5 passengers, with trained, experienced drivers.
- Guests who want a large resort with many venues: the Borei Angkor Resort offers six dining venues and a wider facility range.
Honest trade-offs: with 35 rooms, Viroth's is a boutique property, so its strength is style and calm rather than scale. Facilities such as a kids club or yoga are not listed in the facts we reviewed, so ask the hotel if they matter to you.
If a colonial mansion appeals more than a 1950s look, compare it with the FCC Angkor heritage mansion. For a guesthouse feel, read the Jaya House review.
