Chez Papou Sea Side - Sihanoukville

This hostel is at Otres area, but I don’t suggest staying at this area since it’s quite difficult to go, nothing to play and eat. The area at night is so dangerous to go around. We have to go to Serendipity area to find something for dinner and play. This hotel lose power and water, it’s so terrible. I plan to have breakfast but they don’t serve it even they have it. Some people are quite nice. But I think we should move to Kohrong island instead of staying one night at Sihanouk.

A shack, backing onto a roadside cafe, with no acoustic division..we had mice in our room at night which is unavoidable but the price was too high for this. Also taxis and tuk tuks were very overpriced when chez Paou organizes them. Room very small and uncomfortable..Shared bathrooms were very clean.

Good place to hang out, go swimming etc. Food is very good. Stay over night! You can hear the ocean and listen to the sound of the sea.

We stayed here 3 nights and it was the best choice. The service and staff are excellent: english spraking, friendly, calm and always there when you need something without disturbing you the least. The bungalow, which is located on the beach 7m from the sea, had a comfortable bed with a proper mosquito net. The wardrobe in the bungalow was also very convenient. The 2 big restrooms and separate showers are shared among the few bungalows here. We were hesitant at first because we are always searching for accomodations with private bathrooms if possible. Since to my best knowledge every place at otres beach has shared bathroom facilities, we diceded in favour of chez Paou. Eventually, we were positively surprised when we found the bathrooms pretty clean and comfy. During the day, you can fully rely on the kitchen of chez paou which serves you tasty Pizza, khmer food, and other delicious meals. In summary: 100% recommendation, We are coming back.

Fancy chairs. Overpriced by about 30%. Less than average service. The yellow curry had zero spice and the curry sauce itself was flavorless. The one upside is that this place has Khmer dishes with tofu, which is exceptional.
