hotel seasons
The range of accommodation in Siem Reap varies in price and quality more than almost anywhere in Asia. Outdoor hostel beds are $1 as decent budget hotels can be found around $20, while world-class resorts just outside the city center cater to the 5-star set. Prices are at their highest from November through February, though at cheaper places the prices only budge a little if at all. If coming during high season it’s best to book in advance, while during low season you can try to bargain once you arrive.

Siem Reap exists as the gateway to nearby Angkor Wat, so you might expect it to be a terrible place that one must tolerate in order to visit the amazing temples, but it’s actually a lovely little town that is a good place to just hang around for a while if you have some time. Hotels in Siem Reap range from very cheap to world-class resorts, and quality at the low end is generally pretty good. You’ll even find the cheapest hostel beds in the world in Siem Reap.
It’s true that visiting the temples is perhaps the highest priced tourist attraction in the whole region, but once you are inside you see why it costs what it does, and you’ll realize it’s well worth it. Budget minded travelers might prefer a one-day ticket that also allows for a sunset visit the day before as a great way to see more of the place without rushing too much.
Food and drinks tend to be quite cheap and quality is fairly high, with an amazing assortment of places on Pub Street and the small alley nearby. Draft beer in particular is a great bargain, with happy hour deals at most places, but you can get wine, spirits, and exotic cocktails at decent prices as well.

hotel seasons
SIem Reap has a typical tropical weather pattern, with hot days all year round, with the main variance being the rainy season and dry season. The best weather by far is from mid November through February, and this is also the busy season. Starting in March and continuing through May the daytime temperatures can be scorching.
The rainy season usually only brings heavy rains for an hour or so every other day, but it can continue for hours if you get unlucky. There isn’t much good shelter out at the Angkor Wat temples, so visiting during the worst of the rainy season can be risky if your schedule is tight.
