Great little hotel in Kampot. Very clean and extremely well run. The owner and his staff could not have been more helpful. We had a great room at the top of the hotel, which itself is a lovely looking French colonial building. Thanks to Chris and staff, if we ever go back to Kampot, this is where we'll stay....great coffee... More

It has very friendly hotel staff who's helpful and informative. It has clean rooms, very comfortable beds (out of my expectation), good showers with hot water, stable wifi, cable tv and AC!!! One thing that I was impressed... More

The hotel has been recently refurbished to high standard. The owner and staff are delightful, friendly and helpful. Located only a two min walk to the riverfront down a quaint little street it is in a good location to explore Kampot. The rooms are well appointed with big bathrooms. Well priced with breakfast included. I would definitely stay here again... More

When I visit Cambodia I usually don't expect much for such a low price. I booked, on a whim, two nights in the room with a balcony. I was definately not disappointed! In fact, I think I've found my newest 'favorite' place to stay in Cambodia, especially Kampot! To begin with, the room was fabulous! Just perfect for me in... More

The hotel has a great location (only 2 min away from the river). The staff is very friendly and the rooms are very comfortable and clean! All the restaurants and bars are just few walking minutes away. I had an amazing time!!

I must admit, I was a little disappointed with my stay at Columns. The hotel has great reviews and is one of the more expensive places to stay in Kampot but when I was there, the hotel was off its game. The one staff member who speaks English was extremely helpful and accommodating but she didn't have answers for the... More

Hotel is located one block from the river front in a nicely restored French colonial building. The hotel is very modern and the rooms are fantastic. The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable and always willing to help arrange excursions, bus tickets etc.

A newly decorated hotel just off the riverside boulevard where a number of restaurants can be found. Rooms are very tidy and well appointed including an iPod docking station. Staff were friendly and helpful. The only word of caution would be that most of the rooms are on the second and third floor up a steep stairwell so if this... More
