Khemara hotel in Battambang, Cambodia
Highlights
The hotel is of recent construction and the installations are fairly new, the swimming pool is big and well taken care of.
"Regularly visit Battambang in the course of work and have got into the habit of staying at this place. It is new hotel (old Khemara Hotel is also in town) and lacks much ambience but for USD 15 night it is very good value indeed. Rooms are furnished to high standard with very comfortable beds. The hotel has free WiFi throughout which is a big plus for me. Restaurant is also good and I have been to enjoy a very tasty steak dinner, breakfast buffet not much to write home about but still adequate. Hotel also has a Casino with free drinks once you start playing, With a littlebit of luck USD 1 keeps you going for quite a while on either the pokies or the roulette! Hotel also has very clean swimming pool. For Battambang this has got to be a good deal!"
