The Hill Residence

I highly recommend staying here when you visit Sihanoukville. It's easy to find and offers immediate views of the port. The room was incredibly spacious with excellent amenities, including a fridge and washing machine. I was pleasantly surprised to find bathrobes too. We were given a high-floor room with a great view, and all of this for just $25 including taxes. Absolutely fantastic!

The staff were all so welcoming and helpful. When they saw me struggling with my big suitcase, they immediately offered to assist. They even wrote down a personalized sightseeing guide for me when I asked about local attractions, which was much more useful than anything I could find online.

The pros: The room is like an apartment, it has everything including a kitchen and a washing machine, which is great. However, the view of the neighboring hotel just 4 meters away isn't ideal. On the other side, there's a quarry with water and trash, so I recommend getting a sea view. There's a pool on the roof, but nothing else. It's very windy up there, and the pool water is green, which is definitely a negative. Downstairs, there are two shops nearby, but they don't have much selection. There's no restaurant or cafe, and no motorbike rentals, but there are car rentals and responsive staff who will always call a tuk-tuk or taxi for you. I'd suggest the management update the decor a bit, take better care of the pool, add wind screens, maybe a small cafe on the roof, and offer motorbike rentals 👍, as there's nothing else nearby… just a suggestion though… The price was good at 1100 rubles per night 👍

For the price, the room was decent and had everything you needed. However, there's a pack of 8-9 aggressive stray dogs right outside the hotel that will chase people, and the hotel isn't doing anything about it.
