I have stayed at this hotel a number of times.The staff are brilliant and do everything to help. However the hotel needs a makeover and deep clean. Once done I would have no problem stopping again.

Good value great location!
Signed up for a room that said they had cable TV and I was told that it wasn’t working. I needed to have my own cable and hook it up to a computer. Very confusing and disappointing.
Excellent restaurant right attached to the hotel and wonderful location in old town. Pub Street and market places within a few minutes walk.
Definitely recommend other than the desk staff not helping me out with the TV.
This hotel is really good and as for any negative comments said about it I would have to say it’s not true. I would highly recommend to try and get a suite because it gives you so much space. It has amazing food and you must try their cheese burger with this corn flour crust on top of it and it tastes so good. This hotel gets two thumbs up keep up the good work would highly recommend to anyone coming to siem reap because it’s location is close to everything like places like pub street
I very much liked its location ,,old market,,pub street ,,nibht mzrkets ,, river ,, and walks

The property was good value for money and in a good location. Beware some of the rooms are on the 3rd floor and there is no lift. Hard work after a hard day in the heat.
The viva hotel is in the popular bar area, but having said that it was quite and relaxing at night I had a early night going to bed before 10pm and was not disturbed by any outside noise, so this location is worth considering,
I found nothing to complain about. The hotel is a very nice place to stay for the price. The staff are very friendly. it is not a five star hotel and does not pretend to be one. I expected it to be a bit noisy given the location but I was wrong. Good value hotel.

The downstairs restaurant was great and the staff was really helpful and friendly. Prices were reasonable and vegetarian options are available. The place is located at a superb location. There was only one hotel guy who was helpful. The receptionist was always clueless about everything. The answer for anything was "I don't know". The room had a constant noise from the AC and some other generator or Motor. Since the room was situated in the top floor it was very hot most of the time. There are power cuts and no backup generator and at that can't stay in the room it's too hot and no wifi.

Response from Kosal (Mr.) on Sep 14, 2018
Hello
Dear Sir / Madam.
From: Viva Hotel & Restaurant Viva.
Thank you very much for your email.
We apologize for all your stay
Of the customer whose services are inaccurate
We are always awaiting critical feedback from customers
To build.
Nice, cozy, quite big room for the standard room. Got the lounge area fill with bar seating and a pizza restaurant too. Friendly staff with good English.
A nice big room, but no comfortable chair to sit in. Inadequate lighting to read by. Kettle provided, but no cups or tea and coffee. Why?
Hotel has an old Colonial charm but showing signs of neglect and poor maintenance.
Very busy and popular restaurant downstairs.
Some noise from the extremely loud thumping music from the competing cocktail carts nearby is audible in the room.
I probably would stay again but request a room at the back.

Very Centralised
It was a budget hotel. Room given was pretty in bad shape but upon complaint I was given a free upgrade from Standard room to Deluxe Room. Overall, everything was smooth living here.
Must upgrade your room. Superior room no window,leaking pipes, must be slim person to use toilet. Entrance to rooms is next to the kitchen. Sat on sidewalk table for breakfast with a rat and a cat. The rat was bigger and the cat couldn't care.
Welcome to Asia.

Extremely Convenient Location
Friendly staff. Clean room but no hot shower available.
Viva hotel has a very good location, pretty close to pub street and its main bars and restarants, but, my room was not good at all. They put me on the 3rd floor, where there're the last two rooms of the and the laundry. My room and the 3rd flor itself was not clean and the bathroom is very old.
Nice hotel close to several markets and Pub Street. I got a free room upgrade since the TV in my room wasn't working. Staff was extremely helpful and welcoming throughout my stay.

Great location; decent hotel; cosy rooms
Enjoyed my stay at Viva; friendly staff who are willing to help you with any queries or transport arrangements. Most importantly, its a great location. Pub Street is just a minute away by foot. Rooms were clean and good wifi access through all floors. Recommended for single/ backpackers/ budget travellers.
The staff was very polite and helpful. .very convenient neighbourhood and easily accessible to the market, pub street and ang kor. Bed was comfortable and room was value for its money.

Great Location
This is my first time to Siem Reap. Stay at Viva hotel was a good experience. Just 2 minutes walk to Pub Street, where there's a lot of Bar and Restaurant. I love Viva Mexican Restaurant just under the hotel, they have $1.50 Margarita. Room was oke, but there's no elevator and my room is at 4th floor.
Very quiet even the hotel's location is near pub street. Easy to get night market and pub street.
But my room type was standard, room number 302.
Rainwater was leaking from the celling when i came back to the room(when it rained outside)
It happened to us twice so i complained reception. Finally we could have another room
But Good budget hotel
One day the power is off about half hour, and the flash button is not working, but the hotel location is perfect.

Hotel near Pub Street
Great location near Pub Street. Unfortunately the room I had the shower didn't drain and would pool by the toilet, two powercuts didn't help. Otherwise nice room

Closed to Old Market and Pub Street.
Friendly staffs, good location, easy to walk around Old Market and Pub Street. Nice breakfast.
Didn't have to pay a lot to get there, plus it was so near pub street. my friends and i could just walk almost anywhere. it certainly is clean and comfortable for the price you are paying. the breakfast was a real steal the Mexican food was awesome. Just lookout for the beggar kids asking for milk its a scam and they will most probably ask you for money or milk while you are having a meal so that was pretty annoying. besides that the hotel was really comfortable and was in an excellent location.

Short stay
I stayed here two nights and had no issues. My room was on the third floor and there were no elevators which was inconvenient but not a deal breaker for me. Reasonable sized room. I would stay here again.
This is a very well run hotel with good rooms & facilities. There is an excellent Mexican restaurant downstairs with good food and an interesting view of the passing parade of life going by, It's also very close to other restaurants and bar street is only metres away.
The central location is fantastic
