Mealy Chenda Guesthouse: On Victory Hill

I Arrived in Sihanoukville a couple of days before New Year’s Eve and virtually every hotel and guesthouse was full. I had wanted to stay on Ochheuteal Beach, as this is the best beach, but instead had to settle on the Victory Beach area. This area only has a small beach and not the same vibe as that of Ochheuteal Beach but I couldn't do much about it. Anyway, this place was fine and cost me $8 for a fan room which had two single beds, TV, desk, wardrobe, and a clean bathroom. There are plenty of places to eat and drink nearby.

Orchidee Guesthouse: Orchidée Guesthouse

Orchidée Guesthouse is a small and cosy hotel in the Ocheuteal beach area. The hotel has nice bungalows with a swimmingpool in the middle. The front has a bigger building with more rooms, a cafe and reception.

I recommend to stay in the bunglows and not in the big building. Be aware of that the rooms at the ground level in the big building have problems with humidity and has mould smell in the rainy season. (I had to change room from one of the rooms to the a bungalow room)
Room rates from 13$ to 28$, family rooms from 30$ and 40$ per night.

Orchidee Guest House: Orchidee Guest House

Well... it's about 10 minutes away from the beach. Staff is rather unfriendly and the rooms were smelly. Especially the pillows, they had a very odd smell.... also there is a constraction site next door which makes the place quite noise. Some rooms also face the pool.... yep... noisy. And we had a very odd noise at night from the back alley... repeating itself every 30 minutes.

Room rates from USD 13 to 28 and two family rooms of USD 30 and 40 per night. Rates include government tax. Rooms as from USD 18 include breakfast buffet for 2 persons per room, exception for triples and family rooms.

I didn't like much about that place actually....

Jasmine Hotel: Our Best Find

Great place for a comfortable stay. There is a pleasant breakfast area, seatings on the 3rd floor where you can sit and relax. The rooms are very clean and there are rooms with fridge. Bathroom was a bit dark, but everything clean.

The 3rd floor seatings, close to the beach.

Monkey Republic Bungalows: Monkey Business

We had a great time staying at Monkey Republic this year (2007).
The place has been open for just over a year so thats why its not in the guidebooks.

Nice little blue wooden bungalows a few minutes walk from the beach priced at $6 a night. Each had a western bathroom and a little balcony.
We got a free beer when we arrived which was nice after four hours on a bus from phnom penh.
They had someone giving out leaflets at the bus station when we arrived otherwise we perhaps would never have known about the place.

They have a big menu with lots of good value meals and are near some really god restaurants in the street (two japanese and a place that does mexican).

It was a very social place and we met a load of great folks there. The western owners and staff were friendly and very knowledgeable with travel tips.

GST Guesthouse: Robber's Den

GST appears on the surface to be a very good value. A large spotless room with attached bathroom, fan, lounge area outside, and cable television fetches only $7. Unfortunately, that price also includes poor service by a crew dressed as if they were catering a dinner party and spearheaded by a surly receptionist who dresses in camouflage pants, a wife-beater, and a do-rag when he goes out at night. The guy must have a cousin in Long Beach.
The room has the appearance of being secure, but apparently it's quite easy to slide the window open, reach between the bars covering that window, and open the door from the outside. I discovered this after noticing that someone had relieved me of my digital camera while I was at the beach. The receptionist-by-day / aspiring thug-by-night was of no assistance in writing any kind of report or telling me where I could go to speak to police.
Besides him, the rest of the staff don't seem terribly thrilled to be working there and do little to enhance the sterile atmosphere of GST.
Talking to ex-pats and other travellers, I later found out that theft is common at GST and other people had a similar take of the staff. This place is not recommended.
