Sorya Guesthouse is located directly on the Mekong riverfront, on Riverside Road (Preah Soramarith Quay), above the Sunny Mart, between Streets 1 and 2 in Kratie. Classified as a 3-star property, this guesthouse positions itself as a well-maintained, intimate establishment in the heart of a compact riverside town where travel is mainly on foot, by tuk-tuk, or motorbike taxi. Its location on the quay makes it a central address, within walking distance of shops, restaurants, and the river's edge.

Why stay here

We selected Sorya Guesthouse for its direct waterfront location facing the Mekong and for the value it offers in a town that remains relatively limited in quality accommodation options. We recommend it to travelers on an itinerary stopping in Kratie, particularly those joining an Irrawaddy dolphin excursion, as well as cyclists and budget-conscious travelers seeking a clean, well-positioned base with attentive service.

Guests consistently mention the cleanliness and comfort of the rooms, along with the warm welcome from the English-speaking staff. The establishment's restaurant is noted as convenient and reasonably priced. One thing to keep in mind: the entrance remains open at night without permanent security, which some appreciate for the freedom but others may find could be improved in terms of safety. Noisy neighbors may occasionally warrant earplugs depending on room configuration.

Atmosphere

The atmosphere is that of an authentic travel guesthouse: simple and unpretentious, yet well-maintained. Common areas include a bar-restaurant overlooking the Mekong, ideal for evening meals and breakfast with a view of the river. The establishment welcomes travelers on itineraries, including cyclists — bicycles can be stored in rooms according to guest feedback. Worth noting: the guesthouse sits above a supermarket (Sunny Mart), making it easily identifiable upon arrival.

The rooms

Sorya Guesthouse offers several configurations, from double or twin rooms with river views (First Class range) to rooms with garden views (Business Class), as well as options without balconies (Premium Economy) and rooms for 3 people (Economy Triple with courtyard views, or Family room with a double and single bed).
