Pick Koulen Central if a cocktail a few steps from the pool matters to you. The hotel puts its rooftop pool beside a 5th floor Sky Bar with city views, but it publishes no pool hours and no access rules.
The pool
Koulen Central is a 4-star mall and hotel with a hotel-run rooftop pool next to its 5th floor Sky Bar. The Sky Bar has glass panels and alfresco lounge seating, and the hotel advertises panoramic views over Siem Reap by day and night. The catch is that pool hours, depth and heating aren't published.
Our take
Koulen Central pairs its pool with a bar more tightly than most of the hotels on our list. The Sky Bar sits on the 5th floor next to the pool, in-house guests get room service from there until 10:00 PM, and there is occasional live music. Okay 1 Villa also pairs its pool with a Sky Bar, but it publishes less about the bar's service.
The catch is how much is left out. The hotel doesn't publish the pool's own floor, its opening hours or whether outside guests can swim. Message the hotel before you plan a swim around a specific time.
Good to know
- 5th floor Sky Bar beside the pool

- Free private parking and high-speed Wi-Fi
The catches
- Pool hours aren't published
- Non-guest access isn't published
Best forTravelers after a rooftop pool with a sky bar on the same terrace.
Skip it ifYou need published pool hours or a non-guest pass confirmed before booking.
Getting in
Who can use the pool isn't published by the hotel. Staying here is the safe route, since the pool is hotel-run and the sun terrace is listed for guests.
No day pass is listed, and no age rules are given. Ask the hotel directly if you aren't staying.
Tips
- Order from the Sky Bar by 10:00 PM if you want room service; it runs from lunch for in-house guests.
- Ask at booking which evenings have live music at the 5th floor Sky Bar, since it is only occasional.
Before you go. Get the pool's opening hours and the non-guest policy from the hotel before you arrive. Neither is published.
