Walking around Siem Reap and staying at a hotel with excellent location and great value for money
All of the shops featured in the photos are within a five-minute walk from the hotel.
✈️Itinerary
We visited Siem Reap for three days and two nights.
On Day 1, we arrived at Siem Reap Airport and enjoyed exploring the city.
On Day 2, we joined a tour to watch the sunrise at Angkor Wat early in the morning and also visited temples such as Angkor Thom. The tour ended around 1:00 PM, so we spent the rest of the day at the hotel, getting a massage at the spa, drinking draft beer at a bar in front of the hotel, and getting our nails done for $10.
I've heard that Siem Reap is compact and easy to get around, but I received higher-quality service at a lower price than I expected, so I think I could have stayed another night.
🏨Golden Temple Residence
⚫︎It's a five-minute walk to Pub Street, the center of town. The Old Market and Night Market are also within a similar distance. You don't even have to walk that far; just cross the street in front of the hotel and you'll find a plethora of popular restaurants where you can get draft beer for $0.50 and meals for $1. It's convenient, but it's just a little outside the city center, so it's not too noisy. This hotel truly has the best location.
⚫︎The rooms have high ceilings and large windows, creating an open feeling. The welcome drink and fruit service are also excellent. ⚫︎The hotel spa offers discounts exclusively for guests, including discounts for the second night onwards. You can get a hot stone massage for around $20, and the technique is excellent.
⚫︎The staff were truly hospitable, opening the breakfast restaurant a little earlier to accommodate our early morning flight. I spend more than 50 nights overseas each year, but it's been a while since I've stayed in a hotel that I wanted to return to again!
