I feel bad for the hotel writing a bad review but it was dreadful! What can I say, it wasn't even cheap. I booked a cheap room was told it wasn't available so had to spend 15$ not 10$. In the end the next day found a much better deal for $3 elsewhere that was a palace by comparison. My... More

Ate at the restaurant. My husband had a fried rice with fried pork + omelette. Everything were COLD and cost $3.5. Guessed they did the cooking earlier to last for the day. Myself, pork chop, 2 thin slices only, with some fries and 2 slices of carrot and french beans that cost $6!! Overall food was rather bland. Place was... More

We wanted to stay here because the restaurant was so atmospheric. Got a double fan room for $12 and we know that is cheap but we stayed at better rooms in siem reap for less. I guess the peeling n stained walls just seemed slightly depressing. To be fair, the place was undergoing renovation when we were there and it... More

The dead fish was a disapointment, we stayed there one night and left. It was smelly and damp (we were on the bottom floor, I think the top floor rooms are not so smelly). The people were friendly and helpful here though. The Restaurant was pretty cool, apart from the crocodiles which iIfelt sorry for. There are alot of much... More

After reading reviews for this hotel on old trip advisor we kept it in mind as a fallback lodging, well we were put out of a much nicer hotel with pool (Borann) due to it beeing fully booked. Deadfish is crazy, in a good way, like Cambodia should be. At check in the Bartender / receptionist pointed to my shirt... More

I was given a recommendation to stay at the Dead Fish by a friend who stayed there during a travel year. I googled the name and found an email and had an email back within minutes offering a choice of room - very good rates and a choice of air con. I opted for the most expensive room at $20... More

Nothing much happens at the deadfish, and when something does happen nobody pays much attention anyway. Every time I have stayed here I have stayed in the Lonely Lodge F. Top of the tower you get your own balcony from which you can dangle your feet over the bar, two floors below. A fan and ensuite urinal compliment the mattress... More

Paid $16 /night here, so really can't complain. AC worked fine. no fridge. breakfast available downstairs at 50% off by staying in the guesthouse. all the rooms have names of famous hotel chains: sheraton, sofitel, etc. only real complaint was that the water died for like 2 hours right when we got back from trekking around angkor and couldn't shower....
