Find Hotels in Pailĭn, Cambodia

Memoria is probably the best accommodation in Pailin and it is in a quiet location outside of town which was nice. We arrived using our own motos and for some reason we had a devil of a time finding the hotel......even Google Maps got it wrong. Our room was a deluxe model with two double beds. The bathroom was large and the shower was wonderful! There wasn't any "room noise" from our neighbors or traffic noise of any kind. The hotel is laid out on paths with occasional small sitting areas so if you want to sit by the lake or off the pool area there are opportunities to do that. The pool was sparkling clean, quite large and refreshing with thatched canopies to escape the sun if one wished too. We ate at the hotel restaurant for two breakfasts and two dinners. Breakfasts were off a limited menu, which I prefer (I'm a retired chef and don't much care for buffets). We ate Asian items both days. They were well prepared though on the small side. The coffee was brewed and strong. The dinner menu was fairly extensive and both meals I had were excellent. I highly recommend the River Fish w/ 3 Flavors which was perfectly cooked. The next night I had Chicken Stir-fried with Galangal, Lemongrass and Garlic. It was very flavorful, but it had way too much Lemongrass for my tastes........my partner, who is Khmer, said the dish was "just the way it should be." I should mention that the first night my partner had the Khmer Beef Salad which he said was delicious and the second night he ordered the Stir-fried Noodle with Beef which he said was,"O.K."

I wouldn't complain if they had been super busy but for three of the four meals they were either cooking just for us or 1 other table and for the 4th meal they were only dealing with 3 tables! I'm sorry, but 40 minutes+ to serve a couple of stir-fries is not cool! I only w
