Top 5 places to stay in Sihanoukville for 10 dollars

Sihanoukville has a great reputation for low cost accomodation, as such it’s becoming a great place for travellers to take a break from their ‘trek’ and take time out on the Cambodian Beaches.

We’ve taken a look around Ochheuteal and have come up with a list of guesthouses that we would recommend to anyone on the ‘ultimate’ budget, under 10 dollars per night.

1 – Cloud9, Serendipity Beach. Situated at the very end of the beach and surrounded by greenery, Cloud9 bungalows is the best place to relax after your ‘hard day’. Accomodation consists of seven cosy Khmer style bungalows and facilities include a lively bar and seaview restaurant. Free WiFi.

2 – Mick & Craig’s, Ochheuteal. Best known for their excellent food, Mick and Craig’s consists of an airy restaurant serving a great selection of food for the budget, but quality concious traveller. The rooms at the rear are new, clean and have four-poster beds! Free WiFi.

3 – Beach Road, Ochheuteal. Prices here vary enormously depending on who you speak with and, I guess, how they feel! But I’m told rooms can be had for less than 10 dollars, you may have to haggle though. Nice bar and great location, just across from Mick & Craig’s, both being a short walk to the beach.

4 – Tranquility Guesthouse. Right on Serendipity Beach, Tranquility Guesthouse offers bungalow accomodation, a small friendly bar and a quality restaurant. Down at the ‘quiet’ end of the beach, this is the perfect place to unwind.

5 – New Seaview Villa. On the road down from Ochheuteal to Serendipity Beach, this newly renovated resort offers alfresco dining in their European restaurant and a breezy Rooftop Terrace.

These five businesses are listed in no particular order and we can confidentally say that no matter which of these guesthouses you stay at, it will be 10 dollars very well spent!

All have been recommended because of their friendly staff, that was a prerequisite for inclusion, but also because of the range of facilities available. Obviously at this price range, the rooms will be Fan Rooms, but the cleanliness and quality should still be there.

 Prices - Room Cambodia

Under $5 will get you a somewhere suitably scummy for the night. Think about how your divide your daily budget and considering moving. Shared bathrooms, squat toilets, slice-of-toast mattresses, mustiness, one curious cockroach and a noisy fan come as standard (and in Khmer-oriented joints, an aged toothbrush for use of all, but it’s expected of you not to remove this item). The cheapest option is to crash on the beach, but travel light as by sunrise you will be thus with your belongings long since gone. And the biggest bed in the world is but a stone’s throw away – the sea bed, a cosy sand-lined resting place for all kinds of fish, crab and urchins.

$5-8 should secure you somewhere clean and fairly comfortable, with a bathroom (and throne-style toilet), a good bed, a functioning fridge and cable tv. Some furniture may even be provided, like a wardrobe, desk and chair (ooh!).

The cheapest bungalows start in this price range but are rather spartan.

$10 is the minimum rate for a room with air-con. But in Chinese-Khmer hotels that ten-spot should also secure you hot water (or sometimes one of those crappy coil water heaters that drizzles tepid water over you) and maybe a bath. Only properly hot water ever seems to leave you feeling really clean, and don’t be afraid of the soap guys. Lots of hotel rooms will have an air conditioner unit, giving you the option of paying around $5 if they keep it turned off (the master switch is at their fingertips), or if you feel the need to upgrade for cool air when it’s just too hot or your hangover is suffocating then you can ‘tap out’ and have them throw the switch and you fiddle with the A/C remote to your heart’s content.

$15-30 is obviously a wider price range than before. Rooms should be bigger, with some kind of view, and more comfort all-round. This includes a lot of established hotels along the road parallel to Ochheuteal Beach . Nice enough bungalows fall into this cost bracket – though often the rustic card is overplayed somewhat, meaning in actuality they’ve ‘robbed’ you of your fridge and air-con, but a decent sea view is a fair trade.

$30-60 means bigger, better, more, plusher – getting rather predictable, but what more is there to say really?

Higher? There aren’t many places above $60 (and that isn’t much in Western terms) but there are a couple of places under construction where you should be able to squander sums of marked banknotes or have a final blow-out before Interpol checkmate you.
