Find the best hotels in Phnom Penh. The capital of Cambodia is for many
travelers the entry point to Cambodia. Some stay a few days to enjoy the
city, visit the Killing Fields and Tuol Sling, the museums or simply hang
around the Mekong River. As Phnom Penh these days have many hotels of
international standard we offer some mid range and top end hotels.
While there are no hostels or dorms per se in Phnom Penh but you can easily
find accommodation for under $5 a night here. One option is to stay on Boeng
Kak Lake. The sunset over the Lake is great.
There are plenty of guesthouses on (or just off) Street 93, which runs along
the east side of the lake, and most of them have patios and rooms with a view.
Due to the cheap accommodation available, this area attracts its fair share of
budget backpackers but it also attracts its fair share of dodgier types.
However, if you want a cheap room, a lake view, and many fellow travelers to
share stories with, Boeng Kak Lake is a fine option.
If you want a bit better quality hotel, we recommend one of the following
options.
The Khmer Royal hotel, formerly known as the Star Royal Hotel
in Phnom Penh is one of the best budget accommodations in the city.
The Star Royal Hotel of Phnom Penh is located at the beautiful river
side, along the Sisowath Quay.
The location is especially beautiful since three major rivers of the city
have merged at this particular location. Since the Star Royal Hotel Phnom
Penh is located almost at the center of the city, therefore the
transportation facilities of the Hotel are quite good too. Tourist spots
like The Royal Palace, National Museum and popular family restaurants are
all nearby.
The Cara Hotel Phnom Penh is another 3 star hotel which offers a
better deal then most of the compatible hotels in this price range and
located right in the center of Phnom Penh. It's not a huge hotel which makes
your stay a little more "home" then many others.
Rooms are clean and spacious. Rebecca from Australia said: ""Very
pleasantly surprised by the value for money - services of 4 star hotel at
lower cost. Good location 10 minute walk from the riverfront. Very helpful
staff."
The six-story newly renovated New York Hotel is situated in
the heart of Phnom Penh city on Monivong Blvd which is known to be the
business, shopping and entertainment district.
The hotel is ideally in close proximity to many local attractions such as
the historical Central Market, Sorya shopping center, Wat Phnom Penh Temple,
National Museum, Independent Monument and the Royal Palace and other places
of interest. The outside of the hotel looks actually better then the inside
which is a bit worn out. Breakfast is not recommended by several travelers.
The Intercontinental Hotel Phnom Penh is one of the top end hotels in
Phnom Penh. Maybe not too suitable for cyclists unless you want a splurge.
The 346 elegant and deluxe guest rooms include Club InterContinental
rooms and 29 fabulously appointed suites. City view rooms overlook the grand
view of the city. All the rooms are spaced with luxurious ornamental local
art and décor.
One traveler comments: "Wonderful hotel with friendly staff. Great
oasis in Phnom Penh - clean and quiet with good food and a fantastic pool
area."
