 |
|
I may be going to Siem Reap in the Summer. Yes, I know its hot and wet. I am wondering if anyone who has been there before could recomend a good hotel, B/B etc that was in the $10-15 range that was good to stay in.
Well 3 recomendations may be better as it would allow me to compare them. The price is the main category at the moment and a place that is comfortable to sit around in after a long day.
I have googled a few places but just want to know if anyone here has any recomendations.
Thanks for any advice you can give. |

mandalay inn was decent, although the prices all seem to be $5-10 higher on the website. just remember you have options. the tuk-tuk drivers will be waiting at the bus stop, etc., to shuttle you around to find accomodations if you haven't pre-booked. they'll be willing to go for awhile as long as you're willing to return the favor and use them when you're heading out to the ruins.
some may disagree, but i believe that you can't go wrong with staying within a 10-15 minute walk of the action downtown. angkor what? and countless other places are a great night out. i'm also on board with the happy pizza. had some for breakfast following a rough night out when we arrived, and i was definitely "happy" all morning. my fiance had a brutal hangover and didn't indulge in the pizza. needless to say, she wasn't as happy. |

BeQuest Guest House. Stayed there in Feb. Next door to Popular Guesthouse. Both good. Close to everything. Cheap (from 10$->20$/night, with fan or air con). Good restaurants too. Friendly. Goodluck.
(#012, Phsa Krrom Street, Vehear chin Village, Svay Dangkum Commune Siem Reap, Cambodia) |

Yeah, basically you don't need to book. Just catch a tuktuk into town (very small) and find something you like....thats what i did (figured 'popular guesthouse' would be popular, turns out it was (was fully booked) so I just went next door, no worries. |

I have narrowed my choice down to these three places.
Has anyone any info about them?
Baca Villa
Chenla Guesthouse
Bou Savy Guesthouse
I am leaning towards the last, but would like to know if anyone can tell me about them all.
I arrive at 1.30 am so don't want to be looking around at that time in the morning |
