Seven Candles Guesthouse

Wonderful place to stay during your visit to SR. Lovely, friendly hosts who will do everything they can to make your stay enjoyable. Good location within easy walking distance of markets, restaurants and bars. Clean, tidy rooms; great roof terrace for relaxing after a long hot day exploring temples. Delicious breakfasts. By staying here you’re also helping to support the host’s foundation which provides amazing support for education to less privileged children both in the city and in rural areas. (Check out the Ponheary Ly Foundation website)

Highly recommend. Seven candles helped us arrange our trip to Cambodia. They worked with us to construct an appropriate itinerary (complete with volunteer time), arranged a driver (with a luxury van) and served as a tour guide. Side note …Tour guides are registered in Cambodia so you have to be qualified to provide these services. We saw temples, Angor wat at sunrise etc etc etc. perfect balance of activities for our family. They even assisted in getting us tickets for the local highly recommended circus. Seven candles is family run and it shows. Everything is flawlessly executed at the highest level. Highly recommend and will definitely be using them on future trips.

The staff is soo friendly and always helpful. The room I got was a good size with a balcony. Great matress, queen bed, could sit at the desk indoor or use the table on the balcony. Warm water in the shower, kettle and coffe and tea get a refill every day. Laundry left outside the door comes back in the afternoon. A closet to store suitcases and hang your cloth. Cleanest room I ever rented. CheckIn is easy too. I highly recommend to stay in this family run guesthouse whenever you come to SR.

I've been to Siem Reap four times and stayed here three. I love this guesthouse. It is home away from home. It's a block from the river or 5-10 minute walk to Pub Street and the main market or a $1 tuk tuk ride. There is a nice convenience store 1/2block to the right. The rooms are homey and have AC. The Ly family, who operates this guesthouse, will make you feel at home and help arrange tours or activities. The breakfast is wonderful. There is also laundry service at a reasonable rate (around $2.50 kg).

Our second stay at this great value little hotel. It's in a handy location just one street back from the riverside. They are so welcoming. Make sure you eat breakfast there as the the jam is wonderful. They make the best breakfast in Cambodia!

Lovely guesthouse in Siem Reap. The staff were really friendly & helpful, the room was comfortable with good air conditioning (which was needed!). I stayed for 5 nights and had breakfast there every morning…the menu was varied, and food was delicious! I arranged a 3 day tour through Seven Candles…my tuk-tuk driver & guide were fantastic, and made it a great trip. The accommodation is also great value for money, in a good location, and my room was nice and quiet at night. It’s a really nice walk along the river if you want to go to Pub Street, but there are also great local restaurants if you want to eat nearby. The accommodation is also close to the National Museum.

It was just right. Clean. Decent size and layout of room. We liked the balcony. Nice common spaces includinga roof top lounge area. Helpful, friendly staff. Good location with nearby restaurants, bakery, bike rentals. Everything we could want and good value

Stayed here a month and would highly recommend. The facilities were excellent and the staff were very friendly. Extremely helpful with organizing tours and breakfast service was affordable and delicious.

The rooms were clean, a decent size and have balconies. Staff were friendly and you can get a good breakfast on site. Bathroom shower was q feeble spray and there are strict instructions not to put *anything* down the toilet! Guesthouse is on a busy road and was slightly too far away from the centre/Pub street for my liking – it’s a 15 minute walk. However, there are lots of food options around. Only downside for me during my stay was that the Wifi went down for 18 hours. I raised it with various staff members and initially got ambiguous shrugs and was told it was “slow” whereas I could see there was no connection at all! It wasn’t fixed until 9:00am the following morning - I had to move hotels because I needed to arrange other accommodation/flights.
