European Guesthouse
Clean with good facilities
What we say: 
Set on a back road in Wat Bo, backpacker-orientated European Guesthouse has quite smart, clean rooms in a two-storey house. The rooms are well looked after, the staff are friendly, and the Norwegian and American managers are really very helpful, and good fun. The European has the vibe of a very friendly, relaxed family-run guesthouse. A mid-sized first floor terrace is ideal for the complementary breakfast, while rooms are well kitted out for the money. All come with hot water bathrooms and cable TV, and the fan and air-con rooms are the same. WiFi is also free. Bicycles are available for $1 per day. A good, friendly budget option. The new garden 'cocktail bar' is a welcome addition, and they host regular weekend barbecues here during the high season. Good tour information is available.

great stay
I had a great stay at the European guesthouse, the staff is amazingly friendly and there is a great hang out place. Rooms are big and clean. The place is a little bit outside the city's central place but still walkable.

Norwegian Management - a place with a big heart!
A GREAT place to stay! The staff are very friendly and very helpful! The bar, and the nice garden with the great bamboo chairs and hammocks are great places to relax after a long day at the temples. You can order food anytime, and it is great! The norwegian manager, Siri, always makes sure the athmosphere in the guesthouse is great all the time. She has been living in Asia for many years, and is more than willing to tell you all about what is worth knowing and doing while staying in Siem Reap. Just ask her anything about the country (and the countries around), and she ll tell you all need to know. This guesthouse has a big heart! European has a great focus on Responsible Tourism! They always make sure to suggest places to visit that makes a difference for the local community, like the Angkor Hospital for children, Orphan centers and restaurants that focus on helping the locals getting a better life. The bar in this place is often visited by other expaths, so if you like to talk with experienced people, if you like a party, if you like to travel in a way that makes life better for the local people, this is the place to stay in Siem Reap!

A guest house that embodies Cambodia's color, charm and pulse
I'll admit it: when I planned my Chinese New Year trip to Southeast Asia, I only intended on coming to Cambodia to see Angkor Wat, snap a few pictures and leave. Friends of mine who had visited complained about the nonexistent infrastructure, the dishonesty, the poor cleanliness and a lack of non-Wat things to do. After just three days in Siem Reap, I'm absolutely in love with the city, to the point of considering moving here. Likewise, I'm over the moon about European Guest House, whose personable staff, large, cool rooms and laidback garden atmosphere have enhanced and colored the portions of my stay off of Pub St and the temples. I really can't recommend this place enough. I stay at a four star hotel in Bangkok and have stayed at five stars in India and China. While other places might be able to boast more ornate furnishings, there is no substitute for amazing service, attention to detail and quality.

Very European
We had a nice big room overlooking the crocodile farm next door. Very friendly atmosphere and good coffee. The prices seem to have shot up since the travelfish review as we paid $12 for a double fan room. A bit steep as the included breakfast is rather small. They will provide free pickup from the bus stop. Free Wifi which even works in the rooms.

Excellent
We picked this place from reading a review. It helped us to have a guesthouse name before crossing the border so we could tell the Taxi driver to take us directly to European guesthouse. We enjoyed our four nights. Very friendly staff. The Swedish owner can give great advice about day trips in Siem Reap that are out of the ordinary (visiting an orphanage or silk farm). On our 2nd day, he invited us to a Cambodian wedding -- it was a great experience. The free breakfast is minimal. Our TV didn't have remote. Food and drinks from the restaurant are a little pricy, but good.

Great value, nice people
Yes, they picked me up as promised and on time. The staff was nice, the breakfast was minimal, but you can get some local food while you're cycling to Angkor Wat. Also, you can ask them to prepare your minimal breakfast early if you're going to catch the sunrise at the temples. The rooms are roomy and clean with nice wooden furniture which I thought was a novelty itself. The bed is very comfortable and huge (king size, I think). Can rent an old bicycle that they have for charity for US$2/day, but I'd strongly suggest you to rent a souped up one in the city if you're doing the 3-day cycling. That's the best way like ever, cos Angkor Wat is like totally awesome!

Absolute bargain
Booked up over the phone, and we were picked up from our minibus as promised. The owners actually have 2 guesthouses, we stayed in the overflow place next door. The room had air-con, a TV, hot shower, and was very clean. Add to this the free breakfast and free WiFi, at $12 this is a real bargain. The cambodian family that manage the guesthouse we stayed in were really lovely, extremely friendly and polite. We had the front entrance door opened for us as we came and went, there were plenty of nice little touches like this, which makes a real difference. Highly recommended.

Clean, cheap and very cheerful
Stayed here for a week in April 2000. Much cleaner than many other guesthouses I stayed in during that trip. The owner was a very friendly English gentleman who was very helpful. Would definitely stay there again.
