has any one got some practical experiences of cheap guest houses/hotels in siem reap costing less than 15US $ for 4 nights. I am due to visit in late march for the temples
thanks

You may want to check out Phuket Hostel right in the center of town in Siem Reap. We didn't stay there but we had lunch there one day and I asked to see the rooms.

I was able to view 2 of the rooms and they were both very clean, spacious and nice. I great value for what you get! I would stay there next time I am in town if I am traveling alone.

We stayed at the Angkor Victoria, wonderful but pricey.

But while shopping I came across a incredible guest house - The Hanumanalaya.

www.hanumanalaya.com

Rooms are $50-$85. Exotic tropical public areas. Small pool. A cute cafe/restaurant. Near the Sofitel -includes access to their gym and massive pool. Didn't see the rooms, but I looked on their website and I think this place is a find. (The antique shop on the premises is also excellent and was recommended to me by a collector friend.)

Crosscheck, you may have misread the OP's post. Price range is under $15 USD so the place you mentioned is over the budget.

There are many accomodations in Siem Reap under $15 so you shouldn't have a problem. Check out this site:

Great info for much of SE Asia!

Oops, I did misread - thought under $150 a night!

crosscheck - i loved your recommendation, though, it looks great!
i've bookmarked the hotel for future travel...
