Next door to Knai Bang Chhat is Kep Seaside guesthouse, a decidedly lower-tier place with the same great ocean views. It's set in a large two-storey Khmer-style villa and rooms are simple, though lacking any semblance of style. The bedspreads are synthetic and the room we saw smelled a bit musty. The twin rooms with air-con have private balconies, and if oceanfront real estate is your priority, this is the cheapest way to get it. An adjacent restaurant serves typical guesthouse fare.
