Agree that service slips are to be expected in the first few weeks, especially as there have been some changes with management recently. However, the stains and similar are really not good. I would hope everything was sparkling a few days after opening. Also, internet needs to be boosted - maybe they have a hotspot you could borrow for the lounge to boost signal to the bedroom?
I have never been to Siem Reap and don't know the hotel. Are there any suites which are likely to be quieter? Maybe overlooking the pool or at the back?
Otherwise, I look forward to hearing about the food and general areas.
I have stayed here when it was Hotel de la Paix- by the way it looks very similar in terms of the photos with the exception that a couple of pieces of modern furniture in the living room appear to have been swapped out for something more classic- very minor changes.
All the rooms overlooking the courtyard are much quieter. Unless they have moved the pool there are no rooms overlooking the pool- it is in a bit of a strange location at the end of a hallway and near the cabanas (free standing suites) if the hotel is still the same. I definitely would see if it is possible to avoid a road overlooking the very busy road.
As for the wifi- if this is like previously (and it sounds exactly like it is) the rooms closest to the reception (elevators) areas work the best for signal.
