Description
The sign out front reads Looks expensive but not and they're not kidding. The Mandalay Inn, in this new location, offers spectacular backpacker value. The rooms are spacious and brand spanking new -- fitted out with cable TV, minibars and hot water showers. The air-con and fan rooms are identical -- the price just changes depending on if they enable the air-con or not. Set on quite a busy road, you'd be well advised to go for a room towards the rear of the building if you want a solid night's sleep. Other facilities include free WiFi and apparently a rooftop gym! This is easily the best value backpacker option we saw in Siem Reap. If full, there's a couple of similar operations nearby, including Popular Guesthouse and Millenium Guesthouse. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Recommended.

They never answer my mail so we show up at the front desk : Very good place , very clean , staff very friendly. Probably the best deal in town , 2 minutes from the old market. we had a double room fan with private bathroom for 7 usd
VERY BAD BOOKING SYSTEM - No rating given

I booked on-line and received email saying ''Thank you for your reservation, please confirm.''
Why do I need to confirm a reservation ? Because after confirming, two hours later I received an email saying ''We are full.''
Garden Village > if full -

I haven t been in this one but there is a really good alternative in case this one would be full. The name is GARDEN VILLAGE. Is a great backers place. for 5 USD I had a huge and very pleasent room. Internet is free. I have been surprised on how well organized they are. Really a great place to meet other backpackers. Avoid the tuk tuk rides proposed by the guesthouse to trhe temples (more expensive). The tuna salad and the mashed potatoes are amazing too.
Best in Siem Reap! -

Especially if you don't need air-con, Mandalay Inn is really fantastic value. In any case it's a great place to stay, one of the best guesthouses I've been to. The entire building and the rooms themselves are very nice and clean and the staff extremely helpful. The food at the restaurant is delicious and affordable too. And yes, there is a gym up on the roof. Definitely recommended!
Mandalay Villa Update -

The owner Muang-Muang is a very nice and helpful fellow from Burma, hence the name Mandalay. He will arrange anything you need at very reasonable prices. Do you need pickup at the airport, Poipet, a taxi to Phnom Pehn or what? A tuk-tuk for the day? All is do-able and at very fair rates. Great location... close to old market and pub street. Very clean and secure.
