CAMBODIA: Sounds Good, I want to go, give me the skinny
Part Two: Where to stay
The range and scope of accommodation in Phnom Penh is as wide as any capital city in the world; although maybe not as competitive at the top end, from US$3 a night backpacker flop houses, to Raffles La Royal
Where to stay – best of the best:
Raffles Le Royal; Street 92, corner of Monivong.
www.raffles.com where else would one want to stay ?
Indulgent colonial luxury; five star restaurant, spacious pool, the most elegant and decorative cocktail bar in town, and quaintly dressed natives…
The Cambodiana (313 Sisowath Quay) located in the Southeast of the city, the gardens at the rear backing onto the banks of the Tonle Sap river. Last month I went to a wedding reception that was held there [see article ‘’December 2004 in Cambodia’’] the food, service and drinks selection was excellent. A four star hotel of international standards.
The rest of the rest:
The Goldiana Hotel
Street 282
Two or Two and a Half star hotel. Currently in the middle of a floor by floor refurbishment, so at some point very soon it might gain that extra star :-)
Excellent little swimming pool on the roof, which if it is not busy, is quite a pleasure to relax in/around.
The Boddhi Tree
Street 113; directly opposite the Toul Sleng Genocide Museum (S21)
Intimate little guest house, atmospheric and relaxed with a small but excellent menu.
The Capital 3 guest house
US$3 a night for a room. Need I say more ? always busy though and does have its fair share of fans?!?
