In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
The rooms here are residence-style — simple, but clean and tasteful, with a sitting area set apart from the bedroom. That extra space is what makes the place comfortable for a stay of more than a night or two, when you want somewhere to sit that isn't the end of the bed. Reviewers keep coming back to the same two things: how clean the rooms are, and how comfortable the beds feel. The garden wrapped around the property keeps it feeling fresh and private rather than boxed in.
Food and amenities
The pool sits in the middle of the garden, ringed by shade trees, which makes it a genuinely restful spot to land after a morning at the temples. The on-site restaurant serves both Khmer and Western dishes, and guests single it out for the taste and the portions. Free Wi-Fi covers the whole property. It's a short list of amenities, but each one lands — this is a small place that does the basics well rather than a resort stretching to fill a brochure.
Location and getting there
The location is central, so you can walk to the Old Market and Pub Street without reaching for a tuk-tuk every time you head out — a real convenience for evenings in town. For the temples, Angkor Wat is about 15 minutes away by tuk-tuk or Grab. There's no transit to fall back on, so factor in a short ride out and back, and it's worth arranging your tuk-tuk the night before if you're chasing sunrise.
Things to know before booking
This is a small property with a limited number of rooms, so book ahead rather than gambling on availability. Some reviewers also found the air-conditioning didn't cool enough during the hottest stretches of the year, worth keeping in mind if you're visiting in the peak heat. And because there's no transit, every trip out to Angkor means a tuk-tuk or Grab — easy enough, but a recurring small cost to plan for.
Our take
Central Suite Residence suits couples and travelers who want a clean, central, good-value base with a garden rather than a big hotel. It isn't luxury and doesn't pretend to be, but a 9.4/10 review score is a reliable signal that it delivers what it promises. If your budget is modest and you'd rather stay somewhere quiet and uncrowded that's still a walk from the action, this is an easy one to book.

Insider Tips
- Walk to the Old Market and Pub Street for dinner — both are close enough to skip the tuk-tuk in the evening.
- Book a tuk-tuk or Grab for the roughly 15-minute run to Angkor Wat, and line it up the night before for a sunrise start.
- If you're staying more than a night or two, the residence-style rooms with a separate sitting area are the ones to ask for.
