Looking for the best hostels in Siem Reap? I’m here to help! I spent over a year backpacking around South-East Asia, and would love to share what I learned to be the best Siem Reap hostels.
Siem Reap is a really popular spot for travellers as it’s the gateway to visit the famous Angkor Wat, a UNESCO World Heritage Site featuring relics of the Khmer civilization and the largest religious monument in the world.
After you get your temple fix, head over to Pub Street for cheap drinks and a good party. You won’t be at a loss for activities in Siem Reap whether you want to take a cooking class, shop at the Fair Trade Village and night markets, see a cabaret show or even go to the circus.
The best hostels in Cambodia are here in Siem Reap, featuring a vibrant night scene with guided bar crawls and pools for lounging and drinking. For those looking to relax after full days at Angkor Wat, Siem Reap has you covered with hostels made for chilling out as well.
