Siem Reap is a small and manageable city with so much more to it than the temples of Angkor Wat.  But when visiting for the first time, it is tricky to know where to stay in Siem Reap. 

The city can be broken down into a few districts, and depending on what you are into, we will help you find the best place for you!

Siem Reap Central

The area around Pub Street, and bordered by Central Market Street and the river is a great place to stay if you are into nightlife and great dining. 

The famous excitement of Pub Street comes alive at night with neon lights, thumping music and a fun party atmosphere.  There are cheap beers for 0.50c and many cheap excellent restaurants in this area.  Check out our post on the best restaurants in Siem Reap for all the details.

Best Budget Hotel and Best Family Hotel in Central Siem Reap

The awesome family room at Neth Socheata sleeps 5 and represents great value!

We stayed at Neth Socheata Hotel which was centrally located and within walking distance to everything, but in a very quiet alley.  This budget option had clean air-conditioned double rooms for $30AUD per night, including breakfast. 

A family room slept 5 for only $40 per night and was one of the few budget options we could find which would sleep a family.

Where to Stay in Siem Reap – Sok San Road and Angkor Night Market Streets

This area is just to the northwest of Pub Street and Central Siem Reap.  From here it is still only a couple of minute walk to get to Central Siem Reap. It is a bustling crossroads lined with cheap restaurants, bars, with less of the thumping tunes you get on Pub Street.  There is a nearby Night Market.

Some of the best restaurants we found in this area are Red Angkor for the cheapest and best Khmer food, Temple for great pizza and Khmer BBQ, and Red Piano.  The Skybar is a fun place for a sunset cocktail.
