Where to stay in Siem Reap

The hotel scene in Siem Reap has changed immensely from the early days of Angkor tourism, when travelers where essentially restricted to the venerable Grand Hotel D’Angkor and its Villa Apsara annex. A large number of family run guesthouses have sprung up for budget travelers, while those on mid-range budgets can choose from the pension-style villas at around US$10 to US$15 or hotels, which cost from around US$15. in fact, it wouldn’t be exaggeration to say there are more now places to stay than there are temples Out at Angkor. There are even a few mid-ranges to top-end hotels around town, including the fully restored Grand Hotel D’Angkor, and these will soon be supplemented by further arrivals.

Top End: Most of the hotels in this rang levy an additional 10% charge for service and 10% government tax, so don’t forget to factor that in as an extra cost, but breakfast is included, so there is no need to head off to a market for your baguettes. Competition in this sector has driven down prices at come of the town’s older top-end hotels so some quite good deals are available.
