A wonderful, welcoming place with extremely helpful and friendly owners. An enclave of tranquility in a great location. Highly recommended.

“A little sanctuary close to the centre. Highly recommended”

Centrally located, a short walk from the river and Pub Street/Night Market area, this hotel offers something of a sanctuary of calm and tranquility, with its shaded garden and pool. Gaultier and his wife Joan have created a very pleasant oasis. They are excellent hosts with plenty of information and genuine local recommendations. We enjoyed our stay and as our itinerary was flexible extended it in the end to 6 nights. The rooms are spacious and thoughtfully laid out. It’s a stone throw from the Paris Bakery and Tevy’s which are highly recommended. If you’re NOT looking for the polished marble, baths full of petals and wedding regalia ambiance of some hotels, this is an excellent choice.

The laid back and welcoming feeling

A fairytale welcome in a dream location! The staff were precise, punctual, and attentive, greeting us impeccably and preparing a truly royal welcome in our room. The room itself was large, spotless, and well organized, just like the beautifully maintained garden. The owner, Gauthier, was incredibly helpful, offering great advice and solving every little issue with kindness and efficiency. Breakfast also deserves special mention — every request we made was fully satisfied. We honestly didn’t expect such a wonderful surprise. Highly recommended!

“Maison 557… a feeling of home away from home.”

We had the most wonderful stay at Maison 557. The owners and staff were so friendly and kind, they not only helped with activities around the area but gave us an insight to life in Siem Reap. Chef Mengly and his staff create the most delicious Cambodian food in Siem Reap. It was such a bonus to have PinakPou restaurant in the Maison. It’s a must to eat here. Be sure to do the cooking class with Chef Mengly, you wont be disappointed. We were fortunate to enjoy a day in the village with Mengly and his family, fishing and a picnic in the rice fields. A day to remember. The location is very central with a short walk to the riverside night markets, yet one feels miles away tucked under the trees in Maison 557. Tours to the temples are easy from here. We extended our stay here to 8 nights we enjoyed it so much. We will be back! It was an all round fantastic stay. Thank you Maison 557 and PinakPou staff!

“Great location good value”

Great older style property

Beautiful little hotel, feels like you are secluded from outside world. Staff were wonderful.

We stayed at the hotel four nights and everything was perfect, the staff was very welcoming and was always available, the pool is perfect to relax after exploring the city and Angkor Wat and the breakfast is really good!

“Wonderful first stay in Cambodia”

Location, staff, ambience

It is my third stay in this hotel. I like the location, the gardens. The owners are nice and hard working. There is also their cute dog friendly to everyone.

“Good stay”

Very clean, modern room and lovely open plan bathroom. Beautiful soaps and bathroom kit provided, good overhead shower. Overall good ambience in the restaurant and bar area out the front. We managed to pre-order our breakfast as we were leaving early the next day which was really helpful. Central location, 5 mins away from most things (apart from Angkor Wat, 15 mins) and places to eat and minimarkets a short walk away. Really pleased with our stay for the price!

“Could be better”

Location is convenient. Friendly and welcoming staff.

“Nice location, great service”

The owner and staffs of the hotel were extremely friendly. They were actively contacting me before my arrival to make sure they were ready to welcome me. The check in process was very smooth. They have a super cute and playful dog. The room is basic yet comfy. The neighborhood is right in the city center of Siem Reap, many good restaurants and cafes are within 5 minutes walking distance.

“Nice and cosy spot to launch your Ankhor Wat activities from”

As per previous reviews, the bed was extremely hard, but it was ok for us. We were very lucky and had excellent service as there were not many bookings at the time we were there. Having your own pool was magnificent, but see other comments about the privacy, but that didnt bother us.

“Fabulous little guesthouse, great food and nice decor, centrally located.”

Lovely staff, central location, great restaurant.

I have stayed here before and will stay here again. I love the Wat Bo area and Maison 557 offers the bonus of a well-regarded chef! I love the garden environment - especially sitting there and eating the delicious food!
