Introduction

Old market (town centre)

This is where the action is: the bustling, thumping heart of Siem Reap. It may be a small town, but you’ll find a huge range of restaurants, bars, shops and markets here, as well as a few notable hotels and guesthouses.

Wat Bo

Once backpacker central, Wat Bo Road is transforming into a more mixed area where you’ll still find plenty of decent backpacker accommodation as well as more flashpacker and stunning high-end options. Only 10 to 20 minutes’ walk away from the centre of town, this area is perfect for those who want to stay close to the action, but not too close.

The French quarter

Cool, leafy broad avenues define this sophisticated quarter of Siem Reap, home to some of the city’s most iconic hotels. Leading on to the river, and just on the outskirts of the town centre, this historical area has a character that is completely different from anywhere else in Siem Reap.

West Central

Never more than two-minutes’ moto-ride away from the very centre of town, West Central Siem Reap incorporates emerging and lively backpacker area Sok San Road with the more established Taphul village. Some great deals are to be found here, as well as some seriously attractive properties for those who want a little more luxury.

North Siem Reap

Cool and leafy and right on the riverside, north Siem Reap has a very distinct character all of its own. Only 10 minutes by tuk tuk away from central Siem Reap, this is a gentle bridge between the tourist hub and ‘real’ Cambodia.

Away from town

Rice fields, red dirt roads, the vitality-restoring forces of nature. To the north, south, east and west of the Siem Reap city, these properties take you deeper into the heart of Cambodia, while offering luxurious, fun or family getaways.
