You’re very welcome. I hope you’ll find one too. Also if you plan on living long term ( year/s) You’ll find way cheaper options. I suggest book a month or 2 to settle in then start apartment hunting when you’re a little adjusted.
@@MrJrweir We are talking about a travel agent right? I travel and organize on my own, so unfortunately i don't have a trusty travel agent i can refer you to in Cambodia. Sorry about that.
WOW -- such a nice place ! -- A real deal. -- Is longer term lease any cheaper ? -- Saw a nice one w/o a pool for $150 with wi-fi & tv including elect. a mile from everything.
Thank you! And yes long-term is way cheaper. 1 year lease. And the further away as well from the center it also gets cheaper. $150 with electricity and wifi is a great deal! Usually electricity is not included on the lease.
@@ljchosen Nata Riya Villa - is the name - 1.8 miles from Pub Street & 8 mins. -- Check it out - price was $150 furnished incl wifi tv & elect. > for 1 month only - no lease. /// I thought a real deal ?
That's a lovely setup! I had a fairly decent place on Street 20 but it wasn't as nice as that! Way to go! I'm looking forward to returning next summer!
Thanks! Got lucky with monsoon pricing too 😁 The pool helps a lot with the heat and humidity. Hope you find a great place when you come back to Cambodia.
Yo! That's probably the best apartment i've seen so far in Siem Reap. Totally fits my style Edit: Oh nvm it's a hotel. When he said Apartment I got really excited.
This is actually a mixed long term rental apartment and short stays. They have about a couple of people staying here with annual contracts. If that’s the case, the rent is lower and you would have to pay for your own electricity and be responsible for cleaning.
Wow! Thanks for the awesome video! I was considering staying at the Orientation Lodge. It's in my 'saved' apartments on my AirBnb site. I'm trying to get more information on it and BOOM! There is your video! You showed me everything and answered all of my questions! I'm now 99% sure that I will be staying there for a month beginning next March (2025). I have many stops planned including Siem Reap. You're Vietnamese? I'll be visiting Hanoi on my journey too. The planning has begun. So, thanks for the help and your wonderful video. I'm going to subscribe to your channel. Also, you seem to be a super nice guy too! 😉 Thanks again!
I’m really glad you found the video helpful. I’m pretty sure you will like your stay at Orientation Lodge. The owner is amazing! I am of Chinese and Filipino heritage. And Hanoi is a beautiful city. Busy but beautiful. I might be putting up Vietnam content soon as well. I appreciate your support. Thanks again! Have fun on your adventure 😊
Your video was very helpful. Thanks! I already booked the Orientation Lodge for one month. FYI...the TV is no longer in the room. But it's OK. Easy Peasy! 😂
Good presentation of the unit, i like this video. I wonder, is the water in shower also HOT ? Or only cold? Considering to rent this for a month stay in Seam Reap 👍👍 Subscribed 💥💥
Also i wonder about the Internett conection in the room, is it really fast/good for gaming/work? Does it have the Router in room so its possible to use cable?
This is one of the faster internet around Siem Reap. I’ve lived in another place and this place I can work from my room, stream movies from Netflix or play games on my iPad. The router is central and not inside the room. So no cable booking possible. Just a little reminder that there might be power outages in all over Cambodia that will affect the wifi. I had this issue once, lasted for around 8 hours with no internet. Something to consider. But it’s the whole city.
@@ljchosen Thanks for very good answer. This place looks like one of the best options on Siem Reap for sure 👍 Power Outages is horrible, hopefully they have generator for aircon to still go on. Can always survive without Internett for 8 hours, or 24 hours or even 48 hours, but no Aircon, thats hard man, hehehe.
Surprisingly not bad. I mean if you’re outside at night, you do get more mosquitos. But inside the apartment, I didn’t have issues. (I usually keep my glass doors closed, and I use bug spray too.)
Very nice apartment. His long was your rental deal for $320/month? Also, how much was your electricity per month? Also, was this on the pub street side of the river?
Thank you! 😇 The rental price was for the rainy season. Good for 3 months. The electricity I paid average $35 per month. (I don’t use AC the whole day) And yes, this is on the pub street side of the river.
I honestly have not inquired on the annual rent. The yearly lease would be likely lesser. And it’s about a 12-15 minute walk to pub street but you will be passing by the main bars and restaurants row at Sok San Road which is a bonus! Thanks for the sub. 😇
It’s called The Orientation Lodge. You can find them on Airbnb or google them it will show you the links as well. I usually walk to the main town, it’s about a 12-15 walk but you’ll pass by a lot of restaurants and bars so it’s not a boring walk.
Hello sir, I have few questions - I am going in to this accommodation in winter and will be there for 4 months - It said room 2, so its probably the one next to yours. Do you pay extra for electricity? What are rules for visitors? (no party, just to eat food with local friends together once in the while). Thank you!
Hello. Yes you pay for your own electricity. They will show you your meter once you check in. (Take a picture of it for your records.) And you can definitely have guests over. I hope you enjoy your stay there. Owner is really nice.
@@ljchosen u can get 2 bed furnished house with garden in Thailand for that plus u don't even have a proper kitchen that looks like a hotel but it ain't to bad still cheap
@@uk_bigboss Oh wow! really? that's good to hear. Where in Thailand? And does that include internet, water and electricity? If you rent long term (annual contract) here, you can actually find a 1 bedroom for $120-$150 excluding utilities. Also depends on the location and the size of course.
@@ljchosen thanks for replying 🙂....is it easy to walk into pub street at night ( is the road lit up?) or do you recommend using a tuktuk & how much is a tuktuk? Thank you✌
@@saolálainnSok San road is a busy street with lots of bars and resto. There are lights but the walk to Pub Street is about 15 minutes, although the walk will be eventful. I suggest just taking a tuktuk (usually $1). I use the app GRAB. It’s very convenient. But if you feel like exploring, the walk is pretty safe. As for me, I walk most of the time. 😊
There’s a very big common kitchen to cook. Never had a problem with cooking. If you ain’t the cooking type there’s literally 4 or 5 restaurants right outside the Main Street. And if I you walk for about 8 minutes more you’ll be around the restaurant and bar row. Also food panda will solve all your food delivery if needed.

@@ljchosen what's this place called
@@Ukboss1 it’s called The Orientation Lodge
Hi, Im looking to stay soon, what is the details please of the hotel/apartment, and also do I need to take a bike ride to town, thank you x
It’s called The Orientation Lodge. You can find them on Airbnb or google them it will show you the links as well. I usually walk to the main town, it’s about a 12-15 walk but you’ll pass by a lot of restaurants and bars so it’s not a boring walk.
In that City do they do much custom tailoring of clothing?
I’ve seen a few shops but nothing compared to the ones in Hoi An, Vietnam or Hong Kong. But there’s a few.
Phnom Penh City has everything you ever needed like other big cities in SE Asia. Just check around!
@@KhmerMinnesnowta I have yet to explore Phnom Penh. 🙏🏼
@@ljchosen Go there a few days to see how you feel. There are many things to see and to do. Cheers from Khmer in the US!

Hey! 🏡
Hi LJ, does the apartment have AC?
Yes it does. For long term you have to pay for your own electricity.
How much
$320 USD per month.

You’re definitely right. It would be so hard to find this type of apartment at the price range in the US.
And thanks!
I want to move to Kampuchea.
Loved it here that I extended for another month. 😇
I would prefer a full kitchen
Definitely if you cook a lot.
What is the name and address of this place?
Just put “The Orientation Lodge Siem Reap” on Google and it will pop out. Hope this helps. 👌
You don't have your own kitchen how far are you from the grocery stores restaurants
There’s a very big common kitchen to cook. Never had a problem with cooking. If you ain’t the cooking type there’s literally 4 or 5 restaurants right outside the Main Street. And if I you walk for about 8 minutes more you’ll be around the restaurant and bar row. Also food panda will solve all your food delivery if needed.
We can see it's a glass door!!!! Really
Don’t look 😂 You’re too invested.

Too expensive. The courtyard has a nice look and feel, but exactly what i would expect from a woke-sounding Orientation Lodge... And who wants to be around other woke expats? $350/month? Nah, you can get a killer place for that in PP with high end appliances AND a pool.
