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.

Great Place to stay

The room is nice and clean, aircon works well, bathroom spacious, nice shower cabin with rain shower, good water pressure for nice shower. Staff friendly and very helpful. Location is good as in walking distance to the riverside with all it's restaurants and entertainment places. The only shadow is that there was a water pump or some other drive/motor which kept on making some noise. Otherwise all ok and recommended

Lovely small hotel, great location

Lovely hotel in a great location near the river and the night market with plenty of restaurants in the area. Room was nice with a little balcony (room 10) bed was comfortable. Breakfast was served in the restaurant next to the reception and was good. Staff were very helpful and very friendly which makes for a good atmosphere.

Fantastic Place to Stay!!

This hotel is great! It’s small, quaint and charming. Great air conditioner and the most comfortable bed. Breakfast is delicious! But best of all, the staff is super kind and can assist in getting you motorcycles and seeing the city. Loved staying here.

I loved parts of this HOTEL, like the kind Breakfast and Cleaning staff, and the location, but did not Love It... as I imagined I would. It had not a single Asian entree listed on the breakfast menu. Why travel all the way to Cambodia to eat American/ Western food??? Three days in to our 6 night stay, I made mention of this, and was offered Ramen noodles with eggs... a lovely addition, but clearly an actual entree of rice or noodles would be welcome. Also, there were no Umbrellas on the tables outside to make them of use. With 34*C temps, you could not sit outside, so all the tables were not usable. Again, staff was lovely, but for the price, I would have hoped for a bit more amenities and ambiance.

Loved this hotel - staff were amazing!

I was here in Kampot as a volunteer accountant over Christmas as was SO happy I stayed at Columns. Very clean hotel, great buffet breakfast, very trusting staff and room was very secure and safe. Staff were consistabtly very professional and able to help. Everything thing I need assistance on (booking a bus back to Phnom Penh, Airline dramas) they were always willing to help. It was so nice as a solo traveller to easily communicated with them in English and feel extremely safe and secure. Also done the road are some great restaurants they are on the river and very well priced.

Boutique Hotel in Center of Historic Kampot

A small boutique hotel. Very nice breakfast. No bar, no restaurant other than bkfst. With antiques rather than trendy decorating. Well located in the historic center of Kampot. Weakish Wifi. No coffee machine or water boiler in room, otherwise tastefully decorated. Kampot is a beautiful low key French colonial looking city. The Columns staff helpfully suggested restaurants.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities

Disappointing

This is basically a cheap guest house with a fancy veneer. The building is old and worn. The front lobby has minimal and minimally trained staff. The shower had two settings: scalding hot and ice cold. Wifi was spotty. Wouldn't allow for even a one hour extension on check out. Wouldn't call a taxi to take me to train station, told me to go outside and find one myself. There are equivalent and even much better hotels in town for less money.
