We only stayed here for a night before going in to Cambodia. Its very, very, very basic, simple and oldfashoined colours. Our room had no window of some sort.
Bathroom was strange with the shower in the middle Only pro was that at the back we could go strait in our boat to Cambodia and we had breakfast on the boat! When we were at the hotel, the rooms were okay and the lady at the reception desk was friendly. The food however was pricey for what we got. Moreover, one of the waiters sat at a table near ours with his cellphone playing loud music as is was interfering with the restaurant music.
Very annoying. We also forgot to close one of the curtains our mistake and cought one of the staff peeking into our room. But the worst thing was after check out. We crossed the border from Vietnam to Cambodia over the Mekong river or so we thought through the services of this hotel. We would take one boat from Chau Doc to the border, and another boat from the border to Phnom Penh, as we clearly asked for this service at the reception desk.
When we had crossed the border however, a bus driver was picking us up instead. This guy was rude to us, telling us to shut up when we were telling the others about another boat we had seen. On the ride over there the driver came up with a lame excuse about our boat being stopped by something that appeared to be a Finally he 'conveniently' stopped in front of a hotel in Cambodia instead of the place where we thought we would end up. It ruined the experience of something we had anticipated for a long time!
Great guesthouse in great location, lovely big balconies to watch the boats go by on the mekong. We were lucky enough to stay here over chinese new year. The staff were friendly and helpful in organising buses etc. Very good value at US a night. Also arranged motorbike hire for 5 dollars a day. I stayed at this hotel for the first time about 9 years ago and I am pretty sure I saw my old bar of soap in the bathroom.
