Seng Hout Hotel

Battambang


Known for on-the-ball staff who are quick to help with traveller queries, the Seng Hout has a variety of nicely decorated rooms. Some are on the smaller side, so check out a few before deciding. The open-air rooftop space is a key drawcard, and the 3rd-floor pool has great views as well.

Use of the pool is free for guests (including those from the new annexe just a few blocks away), and US$2 for outsiders.
