Elephant Mountains, Cambodia hotel rooms at the Independent

"This is a charming hotel in the middle of Kampot, and everything you need is within walking distance. The building is the conversion of two former shops. The room was a good size and comfortable, with a wash basin in the room and separate shower and toilet. It was two floors up and no lift — be warned. Our room also had a roof terrace, a great boon. There was a very good choice of freshly made breakfast, with the addition of home made cupcakes and biscuits as well as a plate of fruit. What really makes this place special is the hosts, Tavi and Kim. Both speak excellent English and are very helpful in arranging drivers for tours and recommending places to eat (including the excellent nearby café Le Corner, which they also run). The hotel also boasts a good book swap. "

"Room clean. Staffs friendly. "

"Lovely resort on the river. Great value for money. "

"The hotel was exceptional in design of its rooms (we stayed in rm 111), access, exterior space, and pool. The lighting, access to switches and sockets was well thought out too. The staff were friendly, polite and helpful when requesting transport. The serving of breakfast would have been a bonus on an otherwise wonderful stay The only additions I would recommend….a hand soap pump by the sink to avoid stepping into the shower tray each time to access the dispenser on the wall, and horizontal towel rails to enable 4 wet/damp towels to be neatly hung up rather than placed on shelves or suspended on one of 2 single hooks."

"The service it the best "

"Amazing hotel and even better staff. Wonderful location! "

"Very perfect "

"Big rooms with high ceilings, nice seating lobby area. Swimming pool was nice too."

"+: Very central location. Huge room with big views. Good value. All the staff is great, from the manager to receptionists to cleaners; very welcoming, smiling, kind. Linen / towels have a hint of chemical smell, had to buy my own towel because couldn't stand it. Not sure if it's the washing products, fabric softener or something the cleaners spray. There's dogs barking all night in one side of the building, had to change room and then it was all good Aircon was smelly. Needs to be cleaned more regularly perhaps. "
