Looking for Sihanoukville accommodation?

In this article you'll find:



Some of the cheapest accommodation options you can find around Serendipity beach are the bungalows and guesthouses near the main road, within 2-3 minutes from the beach.

There's still some cheap beach bungalows right on Serendipity (the cheapest I know of is $10). The bungalows are often basic, but you get a great view of the ocean.

A tip when it comes to Sihanoukville weather: We visited Sihanoukville in April 2010. During that time of year, the sun is scorching at its fullest and the humidity is high as hell (it's almost a suffocating combination). That's why you should pick a bungalow or a room with air-con.

I've always relied on fan rooms when I've traveled, but March and April are exceptional hot and humid months in Southeast Asia. Even the locals thought it was too hot.

Just as you know... Air-con rooms cost more than fan-rooms, so take that into consideration when calculating your budget.

Coasters in Sihanoukville

Sihanoukville accommodation: Our fan-room at Coasters

Price per night: from $15

Note: We arrived in Sihanoukville in the beginning of April 2010. The guy at the Coasters told us that since there was few people traveling to Sihanoukville at this time, we were given a "discount"-price, aka $18. Otherwise, it would have cost us $25 (according to him).

Laundry service: $2 per kilo

The charming $18-room included a fan and a private bathroom. The plus-side about Coasters is its location. It takes you 30 seconds to get to the beach. And some of the local staff we got to know was friendly and laid-back.

But after two nights, we switched to an air-con room ($25), because it was too damn hot.

Room at Coasters

To be honest, we couldn't tell the difference between the 25- and 18-$ room (except for the air-con of course).

My general impression is that Coasters was pretty run-down and they haven't adjusted the prices accordingly.

Where: When you're walking down the hill to Serendipity, Coasters should be on your right side, near Tranquility Guesthouse.
