Classy Hotel & Spa

Central place in Battambang near shops and restaurants

Nothing

Fantastic staff, pool and food

Wifi very poor and not great soundproofing

Central location, pool

Petty staff at checkout (said we had taken one of the tea cups and charged us for it!)

The pool is generous, with plenty of room both for showers and changing rooms. The rooftop bar offers a wide selection of cocktails during happy hour.

The pool is the only thing saving this hotel from a zero-star review. Classy hotel is traditional but by far the most outdated I have ever encountered. The staff is unpleasant; they welcome you with fake smiles but won't make an exception for anything. I remember arriving late in the evening when the hotel was almost empty because many people had cancelled due to the ongoing strikes along the Thai-Cambodian border. Despite this, I was not given an upgrade, but a shabby, old double room. Nor was I offered a late check-out so I had to leave the room first thing in the morning. The breakfast was satisfying neither in terms of choice nor quality. I was travelling alone, and this is definitely not a place to socialize.
