A truly unique property oozing character and charm from a bygone era. A big shout out to Bas, Gilly and the entire team for making my stay so comfortable and relaxing. The breakfast menu covered all the bases and the bar had a wide range of international & local gins, craft beers plus a selection of interesting wines. As for my room it had a lot of extra touches with the balcony overlooking the atrium. Overall a most pleasant stay in Kampot.

Nothing I could put my finger on.

Where to begin . The friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, the cleanliness of the rooms and every other space, the quality of the food and the drinks. We loved EVERYTHING! This place is pure magic and the attention to detail is amazing. It's no surprise this is housed in an old cinema building, as everywhere you look you just want to photograph. It's also in a great location to explore Kampot, and the staff is more than happy to give recommendations and help you with further travel arrangements. What else can we say? Just book it already!

Nothing. This place is so special, we can't recommend it enough!

Stunning and imaginative decor, it was so great to see the restoration of this art deco cinema bringing the building back to life. We are from London and it reminded us of the Biba store of the 1970s…really friendly and welcoming staff too.

Mattress was a little hard for my taste, but that seems to be fairly standard in many of the hotels we have stayed in in Cambodia over the past few days.

We were very fortunate to have been upgraded to the superior king suite that had ample space. It was tastefully furnished, comfy and very clean. Service by the staff, such as Lin, was exceptional and attentive. The set breakfast was superb! The location was ideal too - it was near restaurants in the historic part of Kampot. We felt privileged to have had the opportunity to stay in a heritage building that has been so lovingly refurbished.

It was slightly noisy - we could hear voices coming from downstairs. Our room was on the first floor.

The staff at the Old Cinema were so so lovely. Helpful, polite and offered to help with anything we needed. Including a map of the local area and recommendations. They are an expat and Cambodia mix so communication was so easy. The design and aesthetic were beautiful, it’s a lovely building with beautiful lanterns and colours. The pool was great, they also have some games, books and things to borrow/use whilst you stay. The food- was honestly some of the best we had in Cambodia. DELICIOUS! A great selection of drinks too. We really enjoyed our stay and would absolutely recommend!

It would have been nice to have some body lotion and hair conditioner in the rooms. The bed was quite hard- but that seems quite common in Asia. We wished we had booked a bigger room, but the value for what we got was wonderful! House keeping missed taking some old glasses and pool towels etc. out of our room when cleaning. Just super minor stuff!

We had a suite with king sized bed, a separate bathroom and WC,, a quirky layout included an indoor living area and an outdoor balcony seating area overlooking the hotel's pool. The power sockets accepted UK square pin appliances/ razors/electric toothbrushes. The A/C was efficient and quiet. The shower was efficient with lots of hot water. The breakfasts offered a wide selection of good freshly cooked food. The owner, Pauline, and staff were helpful, knowledgeable of the area and with excellent English.

The hot water to the wash basin was on a different system to the shower and was virtually none existant, a problem for wet shaving.

Didn't have enough time to fully appreciate the splendour of this stunning place! We booked for one night only as we were getting the boat to the islands from the new port in the morning, and we arrived late from Phnom Penh. A really lovely welcome and the beauty of the hotel blew us away! The art deco of the whole place is just stunning. We didn't have time to enjoy the pool, but enjoyed sitting by it whilst we had our gorgeous breakfast before leaving for our boat. We were truly gutted that we couldn't stay for at least one more night to truly enjoy this beautiful hotel!

We would have liked to be able to go in the pool and have a drink after 9pm, though totally understand why it closes at this time!

From the very first moment you walk in you are greeted warmly and offered a delicious drink. The rooms are extremely well appointed, spacious, clean and vibrant with art deco furnishings. The exterior private deck is an excellent place to chill, the wonderful foyer with its greenery below is beautiful and serene. The breakfast is simply outstanding with a combination of both khmer and Western dishes. All the options are fantastic, coffee in the french press is superb and also accompanied by fresh orange juice. Their greatest asset may be the owners and the Khmer staff. They were so helpful, joyous and very professional. We enjoyed all our interactions with staff and the hospitlity shown was 10/10. We have been travelling through Asia for 6 week's and this was undoubtedly our favourite stay. Also a huge shoutout to Nina and Simone, the 2 gorgeous resident cats. This property is a real gem in Kampot, but book early as it's very small and boutique with only 8 rooms. We wish the owners and staff all the best, we hope to come back.

We liked absolutely everything, wish we could have stayed longer!!

We experienced a wonderful stay at Hotel Old Cinema! From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed with genuine, cheerful smiles, a refreshing drink, and a map of the area, with great tips for restaurants and other local places of interest. The shared spaces - bar, restaurant, and pool- were all very inviting, and the entire staff made us feel comfortable just hanging out there. But we didn’t travel all the way to Kampot just to stay in our hotel… getting out and walking around this vibrant area felt very safe, fun, and interesting. Breakfasts were absolutely amazing, and don’t pass up the opportunity to experience the Kampot sampler platter for dinner. We were definitely not ready to leave Hotel Old Cinema.

Leaving! Seriously, they nail it when it comes to taking care of their guests.

Very polite welcoming and helpful staff. Allowed early check out as I was leaving very early morning. Cute cats, lovely plants in the rooms, good shower pressure, great breakfast.

The bathroom door wouldn't close even with the lock on i was travelling alone so not so much an issue besides having a colder room to shower in. Noise and light, expected more noise due to location but 2 small windows had no covering and I have trouble sleeping with lights, street lights were on all night long. Bed was a bit hard but all the positives I would recommend and go back.
