Description
One of Siem Reap's biggest backpacker dens, Smiley's certainly isn't one of the smiliest in town, but it is one of the cheapest. Rooms vary in size, with the cheapest being positively miniscule, but they all come with private bathrooms (cheapest are cold water only) and are set in a couple of multi-storey buildings with an attached restaurant and common area. Both fan and air-con rooms are available in single, double, twin and triple configuration. If price is your number one criteria, Smiley's is worth considering.

Fine for the price -

We stayed here for 3 nights in October 2007. The staff were friendly, although the tuk-tuk drivers were a bit pushier than the one's at Tat GH in Phnom Penh. The building is really nice, the room was clean and comfortable. However the shower and tap water had a very rusty smell that stuck to you all day. Free internet available.

I've been staying here for 3 weeks while volunteering in Siem Reap and have had nothing but good experiences here. The staff have been friendly and helpful, the food is good (and cheap!) and the rooms are much cleaner than many others I've seen for the same price. Downside -- the downstairs rooms can be a bit noisy early in the morning due to the staff, so I'd opt for an upstairs room. Also - there's a big, scary dog at the gate if you come back late (the groundskeeper will let you in), but I suppose that could be a good thing as well? Check it out for yourself!
Not worth considering? -

That's a bit harsh -- we're not paying for bum-kissers, we're after a nice, clean, safe place to stay... Which Smiley's very much is. I stayed there January 2004 (a while ago now) and it was fine. I'd agree that the staff aren't chirpy & bubbly, but they weren't rude or anything like that either - just "plain" I suppose. The rooms were clean and fine, the food was good and kitchen was open from like 6am-10pm, it was nice, quiet and relaxed -- all just 100 metres from a main street. For $6 a night... Who could complain? I stayed there for five days & would easily go back again.
