    The shower was a little splashy but it was really not a big deal.

    A very unique stay in a renovated historic building. Alex, the owner, put much care into the renovation and design of the place and it shows. Using vintage, authentic, repurposed pieces, he brought together environmentally conscious design, asian art, and personal touches to create an eclectic vibe (the place could easily be a small museum). There's just 3 spacious bedrooms, so you will get a very personal touch and enjoy the quiet and slow pace of Kratié. The rooms were big and comfortable with exit to the balcony, they are equipped with AC and a fan. The bathroom in our bedroom was open (no closing door, just a wall separation) so it's not the most private, but we didn't mind. The location is perfect, 2 blocks from the river, and right on top of Kratié's main market. Don't miss the hotel's restaurant, the food was absolutely delicious for both breakfast and dinner (just a little pricey compared to outside prices)

    A unique experience in a great location in the middle of Cambodian life - great place to watch market life. Ambience and decor of Privada. Was fabulous in this historic hotel. Alex was superb host and rest of the staff friendly and helpful. Spotlessly clean. Food also tasty and value for money. Can also organise tours which were fun

    The property is an old buiding from the 1950’s (I think) recently turned into a hotel. The owner / host made a point to keep everything as close to the original as possible, allowing you to travel back in time. The decor is really nice, showcasing local artists and artesans, the rooftop is great, everyone was super helpful when I wanted to book travel & tours, have laundry done etc. There is a real attention to ecology, creating as little waste as possible. The location in the heart of the market and just 2 mins away from the riverside is also very convenient. Thank you again Alex for making my stay in Kratié so memorable!

    Absolutely loved this charming hotel. Amazing staff. Alex was exceptional with his attention to detail and advice about Kratie. Rooftop patio offered stunning view of sunset. Common areas were tastefully decorated with treasured pieces with stories to tell. The room itself was exceptionally spacious, modern and extremely comfortable. The shower was lovely. The hotel is located in a very central area. Easy to walk around the city and explore the market. Bikes were readily available and in very good shape. All in all would highly recommend this hotel. Definitely planning to stay here again on my next trip to Kratie!

    This was the most expensive of our accommodation over our month stay in Cambodia. Only four rooms in an old Lodge overlooking the market. Renovations have retained the old walls, tiling etc. which was taken to the extreme in the entrance and stairs which did give a poor impression on entering. However the room itself was very spacious with a good shower and air conditioning and fan. The view over the market was entertaining although it does start early and there is an aroma from the area where rubbish is left at the end of the night. The bed was comfortable and a bottle of water provided each day. Would have liked a bigger fridge where ice could be made. However we enjoyed our stay, communication was good throughout and Alex sorted out our ongoing travel.

    Wonderful hotel / guesthouse with a lot of charm and exceptionally kind staff. The location is perfect to explore the town. The rooms are spacious and have a lot of style and character - one can tell a lot of thought was put into designing them beautifully.

    The hotel is in the middle of Krati, so you are immersed in Cambodian life and can watch the market and daily life evolve around you. It comes alive at 6.15, so you wake to the sounds of the day starting again (we loved it, but if you are not a morning person, perhaps it's not for you). The rooms are huge, with large, very comfortable beds and a large bathroom with a powerful shower. Nice smelling shower gel/shampoo provided free is a nice touch, as is the free tea, coffee, and water. We travelled with 2 disabled young adults, and nothing seemed to faze the staff who were kind and accepting of their quirks. The rooftop BBQ is probably the best food in Krati as everything is fresh from the market. The rooftop vibe is very pleasant, and you get to enjoy the company of your fellow travellers. Alex arranged a dolphin tour for us with lunch included, which was delicious. We got our laundry all up to date, and it was very reasonably priced. The hotel is full of amazing vintage treasures with a cool, comfortable lounge area and great art. Alex is a warm and chilled out host. Merci Alex pour une tres agreeable sejour.

    Nothing. Other reviewers have found the market noisy in the mornings. I didn't notice it at all.

    Fascinating location in the heart of Kratie, with a bird's eye view of all the action at the central market from the terraces and roof top. Beautifully renovated heritage building with large, clean rooms equipped with modern bathrooms ,excellent hot showers, comfortable beds, air con & very good wifi. Roof top restaurant & bar with great views, excellent food, music & atmosphere. Lots of good local travel advice available, along with bicycles, bus tickets and a laundry service. Staff are all very welcoming, kind and efficient and make this a relaxing place to stay.

    At the beginning of November I traveled to Kratie and discovered the Privada Lodge. Alex and Theary have created a feel-good place here. They and their team have turned this building into a place with a lot of spirit and their own charm. Old basic structures paired with a style of stories and objects from his travels. Large, bright rooms with a view of the bustling market and a great roof terrace for dinner invite you to linger. Discover Kratie! A wonderful, authentic place on the Mekong.
