The Butterfly Pea

The Butterfly Pea was one of the best parts of our trip to Siem Reap. It's a BEAUTIFUL little hotel in the perfect location. Staff was incredible, food and drinks were delicious, would not recommend staying anywhere else! Had friends at Le Merdien Angkor - and the Butterfly Pea was definitely the better decision (for half the cost).

NOTHING! Everything was great.

The lush plants and central swimming pool as well as laundry.

Not much really.

Very attentive staff, very good breakfast, cosy atmosphere, good taste in design and spacious rooms. The hotel has tuk tuk drivers to take you to the different temples which I believe is worth it.

The proximity to the river, Siem Reap has a mosquito problem but this increases it. In the bedrooms it's ok though.

The owner Jonathan and his staff were extremely warm and attentive throughout our stay. Location was the right amount of central, yet out of the crazy. Beautifully designed property as well.

The light on our floor was often off. Which when going up a spiral staircase to the floor it doesn’t bode well. However, this just made some comical moments for our stay.

The room is very nice. The value of the stay is also good. The owner and staff were very friendly. The room and hotel design are simple but stylish.

We booked a one day driver through the hotel. On the way back we requested him to drop us off at the museum, and he insists we buy the museum ticket NOT from the museum, but from a ticket agency he worked with. He kept on telling us if we go to the museum to buy a ticket, there will be the line. Since the price is the same, we should just buy the ticket from the agency he drove us to, without our consent. The museum is almost closing and we were really just telling him to hurry up and take us to the museum, but he drove us to the ticket agency anyway and force us to buy tickets there. We had to hop off the car and go to the agency. After the agency says they cannot accept credit card, the driver had no option but to drive us to the museum and have us to buy the ticket directly from the museum. He had wasted half an hour of our time, which results in us not having enough time to finish visiting the museum. We know that he takes a cut when we buy from the agency. The driver then keeps on recommending other places to go where he can take a cut (like a massage bar etc). It was very annoying and unpleasant to go with such a driver who does not respect people's time but only want to make an extra few bucks here and there. I hope the hotel can no longer hire this driver in the future.
