A band of 40 to 80 dollars a night is the reader's budget, and in Siem Reap it covers the widest choice of comfortable hotels. Our directory stores the Google tier ($$) and not a nightly rate, so this page ranks hotels by rating, review volume and verified extras, and sends you to Agoda and Booking.com to check the live price for your dates.
Part of our guide to budget and mid-range hotels in Siem Reap, this page also opens two narrower pages: hotels between 40 and 60 dollars and hotels between 60 and 80 dollars.
What This Band Buys
At the $$ tier a hotel moves beyond a bed and a fan. The hotels below list the same core package on their own websites: a private air-conditioned room, a swimming pool, a restaurant and a spa. Larger rooms, a balcony or direct pool access appear in the better room categories.
Four things the band buys
- Pool: every hotel in the table has one, from the 40 by 15 metre pool at Hotel Somadevi to the two garden pools at Shintana Saya La Maison.
- Breakfast: listed on the room rate at the Golden Temple hotels and at Shintana Saya La Maison. Read the rate description on the platform for your dates.
- Space: Shintana Saya La Maison lists rooms of 45 to 60 square metres, and the Golden Temple Retreat suites measure 49 to 60 square metres.
- Spa: eight hotels list their own spa or massage service, and Central Suite Residence promotes the Damnak Chan Spa to its guests.

How to Read the Comparison
Start with rating and review volume together. Tara Angkor Hotel, Hotel Somadevi and Angkor Miracle score 4.4 on more than 1,100 reviews each, which shows steady quality across thousands of stays. Shintana Saya La Maison, Golden Temple Residence and Golden Temple Retreat score 4.9 or more on 526 to 833 reviews, which points to consistently happy guests.
Then check the area. Street 30 and Preah Sihanouk Avenue shorten the morning ride to Angkor Wat, with straight-line distances of 3.7 and 4.6 km. Sok San Road trades a few kilometres for walking access to Pub Street and the Night Market. Finally, match the extras to your trip: a children's pool at Memoire D'Angkor suits a family, a spa suits a couple, and a gym at Tara Angkor Hotel suits a longer stay.

When to Move Up or Down a Band
Go down a band when you plan long days out. The hotels in cheap hotels in Siem Reap cover a clean room and air-conditioning, and hotels between 20 and 40 dollars add a pool in many cases.
Go up when you want a large garden, several restaurants and a resort pool bar. Beyond about 100 dollars a night, our luxury hotels guide is the better map.
Inside the band, the split matters. The 40 to 60 dollar page leans on larger, steady hotels. The 60 to 80 dollar page leans on smaller boutique houses with the top ratings.
