Where to stay in Siem Reap

There are plenty of affordable hotels and hostels in the area. But, I love this one:

the original hotel

Ancient Angkor Inn
Stueng Thmey, Sway Dangkum, Siem Reap, Cambodia 
+855 63 760 789

website:  www.ancientangkorhotel.com
(features the newer hotel)










A favorite of mine, this affordable hotel is in a very convenient and quiet place in Siem Reap,  just 5 minutes walking distance to the famous Old Market, Night Market, Pub Street, and Business Center. 




It has a small pea-sized pool in the front, a restaurant that serves affordable dishes, a spacious lobby to hang out at, and a computer station for internet access.

 The hotel also offers tour and transportation services. The hotel staff speak good English and are very helpful and friendly.








The rooms are big enough and beautifully designed, as well as clean and safe.  These are all air-conditioned, with cable tv, and the ample-sized bathrooms have hot-showers. 






Despite all these wonderful amenities, the hotel is still reasonably priced at $20 / a night for 2 persons. The girl who shared a cab with us got her room cheaper as she was alone.

I’ve stayed here twice and enjoyed every time. In fact, this hotel has become very successful that they built a new branch just a few meters from the original one. It has 63 rooms, a billiards hall, and an indoor pool!

I have found that making a reservation isn't really necessary. You can just drop in like I did as I doubt they're ever fully-booked so accommodating you shouldn’t be a problem!

But there's another reason why I love this hotel and its staff. Read on at: A special Experience in Siem Reap.
