2. On the sidestreets west of Sivatha Road.

Cheap rooms in Siem Reap are basic, and there are few cheap places where you get value for your money.

European Guest House

This place is popular among travelers and a good budget option!

Double room with fan, attached bathroom with hot water. It`s clean, neat and the staff is friendly. They are more than willing to arrange your trip to the Angkor area.

At night, drop by their bar and check out the laid-back atmosphere, or just sample their delicious Asian cusine. They even serve Swedish dishes like Swedish Meatballs. Ah! They`re so good!

European Guesthouse has also a pool table and here you can exchange books. If you`re going to Angkor without a guide and want to save money, hire a bicycle here!

The Siem Reap Hostel

$ 10 for dorm room, $ 30 for private room (2 people), $ 45 for private room (3 people).

$ 10 might seem expensive to you -- but you actually get what you pay for:

Swimming pool, pool table, lockers, free internet, luggage storage, bike rental for day trips to, say, Angkor and excellent service.

This hostel is run by experienced backpackers (Australian, British and Cambodian citizens) and it was recently voted as the Best Hostel 2008.

It was probably the cleanest hostel I've ever stayed at during my backpacking trip -- it really lives up to its repuation!

At nights, we would just hang out in their lounge watching some movies, or joking and laughing with other travelers. And they serve these frickin' delicious pancakes for breakfast. Breakfast is free if you have a private room.

Otherwise, it's just $ 1 for breakfast for dorm-stayers.

The Villa Siem Reap

Price per night: $ 20-50

Not a budget option, but if you want to allow yourself the luxury, this is the place to go!

I got a VERY clean double room with attached bathroom -- I almost didn't want to leave the room!

Here you'll get your hot showers, air-con, TV, room service and a service minded staff.

Before entering the building, you'll walk through a beautiful garden where you can have your breakfast, lunch and dinner :-) They serve Khmer and Western dishes -- their morning buffet is not bad at all!

I chose this place because 7 % of their income go to local charities.

Book room:

Updated on May 2010: When we visited Siem Reap in April 2010, we spent a couple of nights at Villa Siem Reap.

They're still very friendly and attentive, the breakfast buffet was great, room still very clean and neat -- and the place is still very popular :-)

They had only one "cheap" room left, a twin bed room ($30).

I heard from the staff that it was always full, and that a booking in advance was highly recommended.

Address: 153 Taphul Road, Siem Reap.

Only a 5-minutes walk to Pub street, the restaurants and markets.

Auberge Mont Royal Hotel

Price per night: from $29 (single room), $36 for a double room

I spent one night at Auberge Hotel. My over-all impression was very good!

Guesthouses in Siem Reap: Bathroom at Auberge Mont Royal Siem Riep Hotels

I was met by a clean and spacious double room, with all the amenities included in the price. The staff was very welcoming and so sweet.

I got to know one of the waitresses at their restaurant, who told me about her life. Not much people who ate there, but most travelers prefer to eat in downtown Siem Reap.

It's too bad that Villa Siem Reap across the street 'steels' the guests.

Frankly, I would never have discovered Auberge Mont Royal if it wasn't fully booked at Villa Siem Reap. I was at Villa Siem Reap first, but they had no rooms left.

Dead Fish Tower Guest House

Guesthouses in Siem Reap -- Image credit: deadfishtower.com

I didn`t spend a night here, but you can rent a room.

They provide room with air-con or fan, and there's a free pick-up service if you make a reservation in advance.

If you're interested in making a reservation, you can e-mail to this address: deadfishtower(at)hotmail.com

As of April 2010, we went to Dead Fish Tower and asked about their guesthouse. One of the staff who worked at the restaurant said that it was closed for now. But that they would open it in December 2010. I don't know if this information is correct.

Shadow of Angkor Guesthouse nr. 2

Guesthouses in Siem Reap -- Our room at Shadow of Angkor 2

Laundry: 1 kg = $ 2

A clean, nice room with soft bed, balcony, private bathroom, hot water, TV and fridge -- this place covers all your needs!

It's tucked away in Wat Bo area, 5 minutes away from the Pub Street noise. They even have a pool in the back yard -- great place to chill and avoid the Cambodian heat!

The downsides: its sterile atmosphere -- have you had the feeling that you were all alone in one place?

-- Well, that's the feeling we got!

I think it's because of the dark and hard interior, and sometimes it seemed like there was no people in the building.

Another thing was their "restaurant".

They say they have a restaurant, but every time we ordered food, we had to wait for a long time, and it arrived by a Tuk-Tuk, meaning they're not making the food themselves...

But that can be easily solved by walking 5 minutes to the town center and eat there!

New Apsara Guesthouse

Guesthouses in Siem Reap -- Our room at Apsara guesthouse, bug infested

Price per night: $ 5-25 (we paid $ 12 for our double room)

+ sides: spacious room, clean enough, private bathroom with hot water, a supermarket, ATM and "restaurant" downstairs, free internet and wi-fi and friendly staff.

Downsides: noisy (our room was right next to the road) and I hate to say this, but we're never returning to this place unless they clear their beds for bugs!

We checked out the room before we checked in, and it seemed alright. No bugs on the bed.

But during the night (and maybe because of the body heat), tiny beetle-like bugs came out of the mattress. When we killed one, several ones came, and they just stayed there...!!!

Guesthouses in Siem Reap -- slept on the furniture

I'm not talking about 5 bugs, but 50-70 small bastards.

We didn't know what to do. It was pretty late, so we couldn't wake up the staff to complain.

In the end, we decided to sleep on the furniture. I slept on the table, and my boyfriend slept on three chairs.

In the morning, one of the staff locked himself in while we were still laying on the furniture. My boyfriend told me that he had just locked himself in even though he was screaming "Sleeping! Sleeping!" But the boy vanished out the door again when he saw us laying on their furniture, half naked..!

We checked out the next morning!

Where: Near street 20 in Wat Bo Road
