The building was very clean, and I really liked the architecture, furniture, and decor. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They greeted me by name, which I appreciated. I will definitely stay there again when I go to Kampot.

Great place to stay, very friendly and helpful staff, good breakfast. They’ve been hard hit by covid but staying open to keep staff on board. Rustic feel to the place and very affordable. Good location in Kampot.

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.

4/10 Fair

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.

Long time repeat visitor.
I have been staying at the Columns for years, and have always had a positive experience. The property is well located - close to the river and town center, but on a quiet street that is virtually silent at night. The staff are all friendly and helpful, as is the owner, Thavy. The breakfast menu is not extensive, but all items are well prepared from fresh ingredients. Rooms are comfortable and quiet, with adequate work space and good wifi. Overall, one of my favourites in southern Cambodia.

Perfect stay in Kampot
I enjoyed every moment of my stay at “The Columns” and can only recommend this place. Staff, room, service, breakfast, location,... all perfect! The staff was also very helpful with organising my tours around Kampot as well as my onward journey. I’d definitely stay there again! Thank you for making me feel so special!

Comfortable hotel in great location
Our room at the column was super comfortable with the air con and the ceiling fan a great combo to battle the heat outdoors. The rain head shower was great and the bed the most comfortable of our trip so far. Breakfast was good and the staff were lovely. Only issues were really poor internet which was an issue cause I had to work a little.

Lovely hotel in old Kampot
Stayed 5 nights. Perfect location just back from the river and loads of places to eat nearby. The staff were just lovely and the manager was very helpful (she even gave us some great tips for Phnom Penh).

A Step Back in Time.
The Columns is a beautifully recreated colonial experience. The rooms are clean, spacious and cool, with a charming ambiance. The staff are friendly and accomodating, yet give you your own space. The breakfast was consistently good especially the fruit option. We would have no hesitation in staying again should we visit Kampot again in the future. Thanks to the staff for making our visit so pleasant.

I want to keep this a secret, but it's so good.
Just was trying to get some space with my best friend that was visiting. Perfectly quiet, restaurants and river just paces away. Great food at the guest house and they were available for what we wanted yet, gave us the privacy we needed. Didn't do the 6 am housekeeping disturbance, but cleaned while we were away.
