Sihanoukville in Cambodia is full of low cost budget hotel rooms when compared to many other places around the world. If you want just a simple guest room with a fan then these are available from around seven USD. However Sihanoukville can get very hot and sticky especially just before and after the rainy season and the fans struggle to keep you cool at night. Most of these very low budget rooms measure about nine square meters and normally have a small toilet and a cold shower. Some guest houses will also have cable TV as well included in the price.
Although Sihanoukville is a reasonably safe place to stay there are many instances of theft through fishing. Typically a long cane or stick has a very sticky resin at the end and the thief will put the stick through the window and ‘fish’ for say a wallet or handbag or even money if it is left out. So always be sure to put your important belongings somewhere they can’t be ‘fished for’.
In the better hotels there is generally security so this is not so much of a problem. Also all rooms have air conditioning with the rooms slightly bigger, better furnished and equipped. You can expect to pay between twenty five to sixty USD per night for a hotel room like this and for the upper price you should expect a swimming pool and a good bar and restaurant.
Sihanoukville is one of the fastest growing cities in Cambodia with much attention now being given to improving tourist facilities.
