Golden Papaya Guesthouse is a budget guest house in Krong Siem Reap, Cambodia, set on a dead-end alley wide enough for cars and tuk-tuks to pass through. The side street keeps street noise and traffic pollution away from the rooms, while the town centre stays within walking distance.
Rooms are spacious and clean, spread over several floors, with clean bathrooms and strong water pressure from the tap, shower and bum gun. Each room comes with toiletries, two bottles of mineral water, coffee and tea sachets and an electric kettle. WiFi reaches throughout the property, and free drinking water is available in the communal area.
The front desk rents motorbikes and bicycles at reasonable rates — one guest paid $7 for three days of bike hire — and arranges transport to other locations. A laundry service is available on site. Staff speak good English and handle check-in and check-out quickly. T...

The area
The guesthouse sits in Krong Siem Reap, in the town centre, on an alley wide enough for cars and tuk-tuks. Pub Street, the Old Market, the Riverside Night Market and the Royal Garden are all a few minutes away on foot, along with local shops and markets. A Buddhist temple, the riverside and parks are also within walking distance. Because the road is a dead end, the location stays quiet despite being close to the nightlife streets.
Good to know
Check-in and check-out are described as smooth and quick. Bicycles and motorbikes can be rented at the property at reasonable prices, and a laundry service is available. The front desk also organises transport to other destinations. Free drinking water is provided in the communal area, with two bottles of mineral water in the rooms.
Good value guesthouse in a central location to the main areas of Siem Reap. Close walk to the centre and local shops and markets. The staff spoke very good English and were really helpful with anything asked of. The room was fine for its purpose and there was free water in the communal area and WiFi throughout. Motorbike and bicycle rental was possible at a reasonable price here as well.
5/5
It is situated on a dead-end road, ensuring no street noise or pollution, which allowed for a good night's sleep.
This is the best budget hotel, within walking distance to pub street, the riverside, the Buddha temple, parks, and more.
Two young college students at the front desk are friendly, humble, curious, and eager to help. Thank you for your hospitality.
I rented a bike for 3 days at $7 and used their laundry service.
The check-in and check-out process was smooth and hassle-free.
The location is quite good, in the town center, close to Pub Street, Old Market, Riverside Night Market, and Royal Garden. Though the property is in an alley, but it's wide enough for cars and Tuktuk to go through.
I stayed for two days, on 5 & 9 Jan. I got room 316 on the third floor on my first stay, and 117 on the first floor on my second. The room is quite spacious and clean, and the bathroom is too. The water flow from the tap, shower, and bum gun is strong.
Toiletries are provided as well as two bottles of mineral water and coffee and tea sachet, along with the electric kettle. Free flow drinking water is available from the dispenser near the reception counter, just the water flow is very slow. I have no idea if it's on purpose so that it doesn't run out fast.
The hospitality is quite good too. The young lady at the counter is friendly, welcoming, and helpful,. She helped me with my suitcase when I checked in and out. They also let the guests keep their luggage before or after checkout.
On my first day of staying, when I came back at 9 p.m., one lady that seems to be either the owner or manager gave me two bananas. Though it's a bit funny to me, I really appreciated it. They show their care and try to ensure that I have a good experience here.
One thing they need to improve is the shower loose position. The position of the shower in both rooms I stayed has been very loose that if I moved it up, it kept falling down and I cannot stand upright to have a shower withou
We had an absolutely lovely stay at this hotel! Rooms were very clean,location was great and the staff was super friendly and welcoming! They even organise transport to other locations and offer affordable bike rentals. Would highly recommend! :)
I had a wonderful stay at Golden Papaya Guesthouse. The rooms were very clean and the common areas were well maintained throughout my visit. The staff were friendly, polite, and always willing to help, which made me feel truly at home. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a warm and reliable stay in Cambodia.
