Hi all. Currently planning for an upcoming trip to SR and browsing hotels. Viroth's Hotel seems to be favourably mentioned and I am also curious about Men's resort - does it have the same kind of vibe as Arthur and Paul in PP? Any other hotels I should check out? Cheers!

I have frequently  stayed at Viroth's, gay friendly, close to centre, great service.  However I think that they are now overcharging for what you get. Rooms are nice, retro, but somewhat basic, and in high  season, can be US$350,or more if you have a suite. Big selling point is that it is small, 32 rooms i think, with a big swimming pool. I am going to try a new hotel 2 blocks away, Angkor  Village Hotel, looks much more luxurious, and cheaper, and a member of the 'Small Luxury Hotels of the World' . Due there end September. Not been to Arthur and Paul.

@vinapurecommended to me Royal Crown hotel.... I'd stay there again, which is the biggest compliment I can give to a hotel, reasonable price, good location, great staff, I didn't have any problems with visitors, but sure I'd had less traffic than Auntie Vin 😁

here is my short review from that trip
 

 

I like to stay at Rambutan

Thanks for all your recommendations - will add them to the list of considerations!

I'd add King's Rock Boutique, in the same area Royal Crown is, good breakfast and small pool. Last trip I stay in Chaetata CTA, less fancy than those above but close to the bars and had all one needs, all for less than 30 $. 

I recommend Men's. True, it's not at the center, but 5 mnts and $2 with ruk tuk takes care of the problem.

The vibe is similar to A&P's; in-hotel masaage unofficially includes hanky panky; and action can b had at facilities near the pool.

Thank you, will consider!

I will be in Cambodia 9/5-12/2, but most of that time will be spent in Battambang.  We do plan on staying in Siem Reap for a couple of weeks towards the end of my visit.  I actually booked accommodations for both places through Airbnb, although that was quite challenging in Battambang.  Not many places listed there to choose from, but found a good number of decent places in Siem Reap.  You might want to check out Airbnb.

Noted, thank you!

I really liked Men's Resort. I know I could have saved money elsewhere, but I really liked the vibe. The staff was great.

Thanks for the recommendation. In the end, I booked a few nights at Men's. If it's anything like Arthur & Paul in Phnom Penh, then I'll likely enjoy it very much.

A&P r totally explicit; the whole staff is sex accessible.

Men's owner-manager told me they don't allow hanky-panky massage; at least my masseur prefered to ignore said prohibition.

Over the years, I’ve stayed at MEN's a few times, and every massage there ended in "hanky-panky"—to be more specific: erotic touching and handjobs. It never went any further than that, though. This is in contrast to A&P, where, in fact, anything is possible with the (massage) staff.

I’ve had some very pleasant experiences at A&P; for instance, back in March of this year, when I arrived and was escorted to my room by one of the massage guys (who, it turns out, also double as bellboys). As soon as we entered the room, there was immediate cuddling, fondling, and kissing. Now that’s what I call a warm welcome!

Indeed!!!

What's the customary pay for these services?

How much does the establishment charges?

How much does the guy expect for the hanky panky?

I'll b there 2nd week of nov...

Same experience at MEN's over a few stays over the years - every massage is a hanky panky (a usual modest tip applies, they don't discuss it or demand it) but no more than that, i.e. no oral/anal. I recall for many years two of the masseurs were (are?) brothers - one is very straight, another is at least curious if not more (both are great in the massage room).

I’m at Viroths now. It’s excellent. I simply call reception when my Grindr date is coming and tell them I have a boy coming to discuss temples. They take his ID and bring him to the room. When he leaves recalls to check everything is OK before releasing ID. I have stayed at Men’s. No. It’s nothing like the friendly, relaxed sexy vibe or quality of Arthur and Paul.

Might be worth a try next time. The reception guy, accompanying the Grindr date up to the room, might get the message and be persuaded to make it a threesome.

True, but yet to fancy one of the reception staff!
