Where to Stay in Siem Reap

Where to Stay in Siem Reap

Your guide to the best areas and accommodation types

Siem Reap splits into seven clear-cut zones, all reachable by a 15-minute tuk-tuk hop from Angkor Archaeological Park. Pub Street Alley pulses with neon bars and backpacker hostels stacked above karaoke lounges. The French Quarter keeps its colonial shophouses turned boutique hotels tucked behind frangipani-lined streets. Riverside runs west along the Siem Reap River, quiet guesthouses and morning noodle smoke drifting from wet markets. Charles de Gaulle Road (Airport Road) lines up airport hotels and business blocks. Taphul Village hands out mid-range comfort beside the bus station where diesel fumes mingle with incense from roadside shrines. Sok San Road hides stylish villas and spa resorts behind high walls. Chong Kneas floating village props up stilted lodges over muddy water where fish-sauce odor drifts at sunset. A solid mid-range double runs $25-50 in most areas. Riverside and Sok San slap on a 30% premium during Angkor Marathon week. Hostels start at $8; luxury tops out around $150.

Booking Tips

Insider advice to help you find the best accommodation.

Pub Street books months ahead, Riverside rarely fills

Pub Street hostels sell out 6-8 weeks ahead for December-February. Riverside hotels accept walk-ins year-round with discounts at reception.

Free airport pickup beats taxi rates

Most mid-range hotels offer free airport pickup if booked direct. Taxis charge $8-12 from airport - email hotel for pickup code.

Temple tour packages save money

Hotels bundle Angkor passes with tuk-tuk and guide. $12-15 cheaper than arranging separately, includes cold water and towels.

Search Hotels →

When to Book

Timing matters for both price and availability.

High Season

Reserve 6-8 weeks ahead for December-February, Christmas-New Year period

Shoulder Season

March-May and September-October ideal - warm weather, fewer crowds, 25-35% cheaper

Low Season

June through August delivers daily afternoon cloudbursts. Yet every hotel and tour operator slices prices in half. Walk-in rooms are yours for the asking, except during the August holidays when even the smallest guesthouses fill fast.

Two weeks covers most situations; December Pub Street needs eight weeks

Good to Know

Local customs and practical information.

Check-in / Check-out
Check-in is set at 14:00 and check-out at 12:00. Since sunrise temple tours start early, most hotels keep your bags behind the reception desk so you can roam unencumbered.
Tipping
Slip the housekeeping staff $1-2 per day and you'll see the difference. Tuk-tuk drivers live on temple-tour kickbacks, so round up the fare and they'll wait while you explore.
Payment
USD is welcome everywhere, from street stalls to five-star lobbies. ATMs spit out crisp dollars, yet family-run guesthouses still knock a few dollars off if you pay cash.
Safety
The city is remarkably safe. Stash passports and electronics in the room safe. Motorbike snatch-and-grabs do happen, ride with your bag on the curb-side, not next to the traffic.
