Encore Angkor Hotel vs. Viroth's for single woman

Posting for a friend..

a single woman (35) traveling alone (already hired guide Leng Tek) with 6 days of touring %26amp; 8 nights at the hotel, which guest house would you suggest for a mid-April stay?

VIROTH%26#39;S HOTEL or ENCORE ANGKOR HOTEL?

I like that they%26#39;re both downtown, walkable to restaurants %26amp; both have pools. I%26#39;d prefer to stay at the guest house that has more sociable guests... as I%26#39;ll be traveling alone.

Which one has friendlier guests?

Better breakfasts?

Better food?

Will either one pack a lunch for when I%26#39;m traveling to remote temples.

Thanks!

Oksana-

Tell your friend that she%26#39;ll undoubtedly find friendlier guests at backpacker-type places, where there are more solo travelers (like myself!), as opposed to couples hoping for romance %26amp; atmosphere staying at boutique hotels like the ones you have mentioned.

Encore Angkor Hotel vs. Viroth's for single woman

I%26#39;ve read the reviews on both places. I don%26#39;t know that she wants to stay at a backpacker place.

She%26#39;s going at the end of April %26amp; for a Canadian who is an ice climber, I think she%26#39;ll need a place to stay that has a pool %26amp; A/C.

I didn%26#39;t mind the heat in Cambodia at all, but I live in an area with intensely hot summers... and I was there in Feb., not April.

Where would you recommend?

I stayed an Encore Angkor and recommend it. (Single woman, traveled alone)

Don%26#39;t worry too much about breakfast, because if you%26#39;re out seeing the sunrise or getting to the temples ahead of the crowd, you%26#39;re going to miss it. I don%26#39;t know where Viroth%26#39;s is. I didn%26#39;t ask about packing a lunch but EA doesn%26#39;t serve lunch. The guy will take your friend to a lunch spot. Didn%26#39;t spend much time at the hotel to make friends with the guests, so can%26#39;t help you there.

The photos and the descriptions never paint a perfect picture, so I would tell your friend to go with her gut and enjoy her trip!
