Any Shack on Occheuteul Beach: Free!!!

If you go way down Occheteul Beach, there's a load of restaurants right on the ocean that have a couple of shack rooms that are free to stay in. It's a basic affair - four walls, a roof, a comfy bed, a light, and a fan - but it's free! The only expectation is that you'll eat at their restaurant, which is priced competitively with tasty selections as well. Numerous places offer this deal; Coco Shack, Dolphin Shack, etc. Some places even throw in free gan-chaar, as if not asking for any riel for a bed isn't enough.

It's free!!!

Dada Guesthouse: Family Run

Dada Guesthouse is a family-run accomodation above Victory Beach, next to the over-done Mealy Chenda Guesthouse (Hotel is a more appropriate title). The family that owns Dada is very kind and helpful. As a family-run operation, Dada Guesthouse is also free of thieving employees, a problem that plagues many of Sihanoukville's accomodations. Room rates vary from $4-8 per night and they provide services such as laundry, bus and boat tickets, and island tour bookings.

The Dada family owns and operates their own guesthouse, so the atmosphere is very welcoming and the service quite friendly.

King Gold Hotel: Sihanoukvillle city center please?

After traveling in a minibus from Koh Kong, I was happy to be guided to this hotel by a most helpful motoboy. Good standard (abt 3 star), I enjoyed a dive into the swimming pool in the back-yard, the hotel has also everything for fitness-freaks.

Large air-con doubles with bathrooms, central location for shops, Vietnam consulate (vey efficient), restaurants etc.

Susaday: Nice place right by the beach

I nice place right by the beach. There are a number of beaches in town but some are frequented by jelly fish. Susaday is by the Ochheuteal Beach though Serendipidy beahc is close by. The rooms at Susaday have a fan and are very clean. In the summer its extremely hot outside and the rooms sheild you during the afternoons. The place has a cafe servng nice food, of course as you're in Cambodia you have to eat the seafood and obviously you can't get it any fresher than by the seaside.

The prices here aer probably more expensive than other places at $10 but you get a private bathroom and a multilingual owner.

Holiday Hotel: The Holiday Hotel

It's called a hotel, but depends on whose standards. Regardless, it has decent rooms, cable TV, hot water and is a short walk to the beach.

There are a number of other hotels near the Holiday Hotel that I also stayed at. Most are pretty comparable in price and quality of rooms/service.

No unique qualities except it's close to the beach.

Mealy Chenda Guesthouse: An Oasis on Victory Beach

Perched on a hill overlooking Victory Beach, the Mealy Chenda Guesthouse will make you kiss the ground in adulation of all things Cambodian. Standard room with bath: $4, and a ton of geckos on the windows for free. Four dollars! On the beach! FOUR DOLLARS!

Not only is the location great and the room adequate (it's four dollars, what do you expect?), but the restaurant above is brilliant, with a magnificent view onto the gulf. The perfect place to watch a sunset over your Khmer specialties. Ufortunately, the radio does tend to play cheesy music, but if you can handle that, it's a great value.
