The Shinta Mani Resort is a solid four-star hotel in central Siem Reap, offering simple rooms clustered around a pool and a great spot to hang out after a day among the temples. With its all-day restaurant serving comfort food, this is an ideal hotel for those seeking familiarity rather than exotica.
t's a spotless and very straightforward resort with far fewer aesthetic thrills than its sister operation across the road, the Club, despite its high-ceilinged lobby which sports some extraordinary art installations. From the large pool to the comfort food on the all-day restaurant menu, to the conventional layout of the rooms, the resort aims squarely and successfully at families and older couples.

Located in the leafy French Quarter of Siem Reap. The Shinta Mani is just a 10-minute walk from the Old Market area and about 15 minutes by tuk-tuk or taxi from the Angkor Archaeological Park ticket office.
Address: Shinta Mani Siem Reap, Junction of Oum Khun and 14th Street, Siem Reap, Cambodia.
Service is friendly and efficient. The large pool, situated in a garden around which the resort is constructed, gets the sun all day and is the main draw. Guests can visit the Shinta Mani Club across the road for spa treatments or a drink at the Bill Bensley Bar.
The Shinta Mani takes pride in contributing to the local community. A tourism hospitality school from which 20 students graduate every year is attached to the hotel and guests can visit on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. A shop inside the resort sells quality items made by disadvantaged people with the help of various NGOs connected to the hotel’s foundation, including textiles and jewellery.
The standard rooms are compact, comfortable and spotless, with all the usual amenities such as air-conditioning, a TV, safe, kettle and coffee machine. Barely intrusive modern Khmer art covers the walls. All rooms either have a balcony or a broad veranda that faces the pool. The bathrooms are small and a little ordinary, but in immaculate condition.
