Accommodation options in Siemreapa abound: still! How many tourists happen here is, think! Since the number of tourists arriving in SiemreaP continues to grow in a huge pace, the number of hotels, bars and restaurants also grows with dizzying speed. Today, the town can offer about 40 five-star hotels, nearly 150 four-star and even more hotels in class "three stars", more than a hundred "twice bundles", almost fifty one-star hotels, a bunch of guest houses, villas, hostels, a couple of apartments and bungalows. In short, choose - I do not want. There are no problems with the settlement. Perhaps it is the Siemreap that offers the best choice of housing in all Cambodia, and prices will differ from $ 3 for a place in the dormitory room to expensive and with maximum comfort.
Today, the fields of the city, which were once on the periphery, began to be considered practically central. Each area of the city has its own character. Consider these areas.
National Route 6. (road to / from the airport)
Or "Generals' Row", as it is sometimes called it. The first thing you see arrives in the city by plane. The road is lined up with tens of simple "non-accurate" four-star hotels that offer enough comfortable accommodation and service. Almost all the main places of the city are located in the distance - on foot, you just do not need to go, but even on a motodope or a Tuk-Tuka is distant. Staying in hotels in this area is not economical, as it will have to be constantly spent on the passage - tourists on the budget better choose the hotel closer to the city center.
French Quarter The FRENCH QuARTER)
Between the Sivatha boulevard and the Siemreap River, you can find excellent hotels in the price category from the middle to high. Including, here there are a number of eminent star hotels. This area is quieter than the other parts of the simerapa, with wide and shady alleys, a calm atmosphere and a historical character, which is completely different from other areas of the city. Nevertheless, in recent years, something is constantly being built, so maybe in the coming years and this area will be the same noisy. Well, today it is convenient for everyone, including the fact that you will live within walking distance of the main places of the city, and on Tuk Tuka and at all a couple of minutes drive.
Old market
In the area you will find some good options, with very good service and pleasant cost. But the old market square is the option more for shopping, feast and drink, so, in hotels here can be quite noisy, and at night, including. On the other hand, there are a couple of hotels here, where noise from the square does not come.
Wat Bo (Wat Bo)
This is a road that stretches in the east parallel to the Siemreap River, and extends all the way from Wat Dunamak to Wat on Langk. The whole area is experiencing slow development, since expensive fashionable housing options on the old market square are beginning to build here. But so far everything is not so bad, and this place adore backpackers, since accommodation options here on medium or low prices. You can also find several lively restaurants, bars and several interesting stores that you should visit - and all this is on Pub Street. If you want to avoid noise and gama Pub Street, then choose hotels a 15-minute walk along the river from it.
Near Angkor Vat
Some hotels are scattered on the way to Angcour - for those who want to stay in close proximity to the famous world ruins. But in this case, you will live at a decent distance from the center of Siemreapa and his rich choice of restaurants, bars and other interesting places. If you are accustomed to elite hotels (like Raffles, Sofitel, Le Meridien, Ansara, etc.), it is better to choose another area.
Western center
All hotels in this area are about two minutes by cycling or motodope from the city center, which is very convenient. West Central includes, for example, a new lively area of Sok San Road. Not so long ago, this street was dark and dusty, and he led, it can be said to nowhere. Now it is a lively street built up with night bars, restaurants (including among them there are a number of really great!), Gasthus and hotels. Often this street is compared with Bangkok Khao San Road, in terms of energy level, although there are some differences, of course, there is. Also, this area includes more elite and calm Taphul Village. In short, here you will find excellent housing options cheaper, as well as attractive opportunities for those who want a little more luxury while relaxing in Siemreapa.
Northern Siemreap
The area right on the banks of the river, a 10-minute drive to Tuk-Tuka north of the center of Siemreapa, has a very specific character. It can be said, the Northern Siemreap is a peculiar bridge between the tourist ragble and the 'real' cambodia.
Rapions
Region outside the Siemreapa offer, perhaps the best accommodation options for those who are looking for a moment of super peace and relaxes. A number of stunning hotels with landscaped gardens that surround, except, rice fields - this is a real salvation for a tired Muscovite or a resident of any major city in the world. This is a real Cambodia, with the infinite of its freedom and beauty of nature, and noise can affect the local holidays that can last for several days. Hotels in this part are ideal options for family holidays.
If we are talking about more long stay in the city , the most affordable and practical option will be the Gasthus. Guest houses in the city there are a lot of a lot, but if you come to the city in the low season (from June to September), you can even bargain about price. If you come to a high season (from October to March), then the room in the house needs to be booked in advance, as the ladout in tourists does not experience the city ("I don't like to look for another"). The disadvantage of long-term accommodation in the community room or even a separate room in the guest house is the frequent no kitchen - even if it is written about it on the site, more often "kitchen" is a minibar and a kettle.
Rent an apartment In Siemreape, it is a practically "home" option. But, most likely, you will require a deposit in two months plus one month ahead. However, it is sometimes possible to agree on a smaller prepayment if you are going to stay in an apartment, for example, for a year or like that. You can dig on Facebook (here, for example). In housing, it is often very simple conditions, and more often it is an apartment-studio with one bedroom, for which it will have to pay about $ 150 per month (without taking into account the card account for air conditioning, etc.).
