The Boutique Kampot Hotel is a 3-star property located in downtown Kampot, 300 metres from Teuk Chhou River. A practical base for exploring the old colonial town on foot and enjoying the refreshing riverside atmosphere as evening falls.

Why choose this hotel

The property ticks all the boxes for an urban stay in Cambodge: a central location that spares you lengthy tuk-tuk rides, air-conditioned rooms equipped for modern comfort, and 3-star standards that make it a reassuring stop after long drives from Phnom Penh or Sihanoukville. Its human-scale format makes it a sensible choice for travellers who prioritise functionality over exceptional experiences.

Atmosphere and style

The hotel falls into the urban comfort category rather than the charming colonial houses Kampot is also known for. The spirit is that of a city hotel—functional, with understated décor and unpretentious communal spaces. Travellers seeking a bohemian immersion in a historic building will look elsewhere in town; those after a well-equipped, central base will find what they need here.

The rooms

Rooms come with the amenities you'd expect from a Cambodian 3-star:

• air-conditioning and ceiling fan
• mini-bar and complimentary water bottles
• Free WiFi in all rooms
• television
• Welcome amenities and shower essentials

This dual ventilation setup (air-con plus fan) proves invaluable during the hot season, when Kampot temperatures frequently exceed 33°C during the day.

Location

The exact address is Phum 1 Ouk, Sangkat Kampong Kandal, Kampot town, Kampot Province. Situated 300 metres from Teuk Chhou River (often called Kampot River), the hotel puts you within walking distance of the main attractions in the centre: the market, the old bridge, colonial streets and waterfront terraces. Since Kampot is a river town rather than a beach resort, it's the waterway that sets the rhythm of the neighbourhood, especially at sunset.

What to do nearby

From the hotel, several classic regional excursions are accessible as half-day or full-day trips:

• Bokor mountain and its former colonial casino perched at 1,080 metres
• Kampot's pepper plantations, a Protected Designation of Origin renowned as far as Paris
• the salt marshes visible on the road to Kep
• Phnom Chhnork caves, which shelter a 7th-century pre-Angkorian sanctuary
• the seaside resort of Kep, some thirty kilometres away

To compare with other urban addresses in Cambodge, you might also consult the Almond Hotel Sothearos in Phnom Penh or the Battambang Resort in the north-west of the country.
