A quiet smallish room, quite pricey for Kampot, and a small breakfast menu
Pros:

Great location, French house conversion . Staff very friendly

Cons:

The attic room was cramped, with the WC , sink and shower built within the original bedroom. Not ideal, minimising the available space. Breakfast choices limited.

Beautiful hotel, tasty breakfast, very friendly.
Pros:

Staff are exceptionally helpful and friendly. We stayed in a double and superior room, as we upgraded for a room with a bigger window. The french style decor is beautiful and finished to a high standard. The beds are comfy. Breakfast is delicious with breads, fruit and home made cakes as a starter. Free water refill to save on plastics. It's on a side road so surprisingly quiet and a good location, a few minutes to the river front and restaurants.

Cons:

The location is a good base for trips eg Botree pepper farm, bokor mountain, but not much to see in the town.

Pros:

The staff at The Columns are extremely nice and helpful. The included breakfast has many nice options and is well-prepared. We had both a double room on the first floor and a balcony room on second floor in our party, and we much preferred the first floor. It’s more spacious, better laid out, and has high ceilings. The second floor is not great for tall people because there are so many low ceilings, and the rooms feel cramped.

We had a great stay and definitely will be back and stay there again.
Pros:

Set within a beautiful, vintage French building, the hotel's decor exudes timeless charm. Its central location allows for easy exploration of the city and riverside. The staff, particularly the manager, are both friendly and efficient, enhancing the overall experience with their warm hospitality and helpfulness.

Cons:

Nothing that we don’t like about this hotel , but we think the breakfast could be better than that by giving more options.

Gorgeous hotel, great staff, great location.
Pros:

This small boutique hotel is gorgeous. It consists of 3 French colonial buildings knocked into one. Two stories over the ground floor only. Lovely decor. A huge thank you to the owner for investing in this property and preserving these beautiful historical buildings.

The manager was delightful. Spoke excellent English, was very erudite
& helpful. He gave me a lot of his time and really understands the concept of service with a smile. The other staff were lovely. The bellboy was so so attentive.

Lovely lovely room. Everything I like in a room was there. Great air conditioning and ceiling fan. I got a great night's sleep.

Spotlessly clean.

Highly highly recommended.

Cons:

Breakfast was super tasty but I would have liked it to be a bit bigger. In fairness, I got more super fresh baguette bread and gorgeous fruit when I asked.
