Capitol Guesthouse Phnom Penh

... plus belle vers le Nord-Ouest et Battambang dans 2 jours. Cette fois, on loge en plein centre-ville. Je recommande fortement la Capitol Guesthouse. Marche, marche, marche. En face de la Poste, on a vu un lacher de singe dans la ville. Aucune idee ...

... fancy having a word with them incase they knew some crazy kung-fu, but they seemed to take the hint. Despite the fact that Phnom Penh's attractions are based on genocide its still a great city with lovely people and having thought I would be gutted after ...

... in order to see A) The Killing Fields (Choeung Ek). And B) S-21 Prison (Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum). Upon arrival in Phnom Penh it was instantly noticeable how much of a difference there was between the tourist friendly Siem Reap & the bustling ...

... so flew through the air each time the bus hit one of the many potholes on the road. We stayed at the Capital Guest house in Phnom Penh...very cheap as it seemed to make most of its money from running a brothel at the same time. We spent two good days ...

... off at a little viallge by the water.  The speed boat trip to the border took an hour and then a further hour and a half into Phnom Penh. 2 Aug - day trip round the city with a tuc tuc. We were taken to the S21 prison, the Killing Fields, Royal ...

... the war but it still shocking how many you see and how little looked after they see to be. anyways i would recommend staying to song in Phnom Penh, there is more to see than i did and some markets which i heard are good if you want to do some shopping but ...

... to King Hotel ok.  Immediately had a large Angkor Beer and was not extremely pleased with the room, as the Phnom Penh guesthouse has extolled the virtues of this 'new guesthouse' the family built in SR.  Building, painting and decorating ...

1st Day in Phnom Penh was quite interesting. I was picked up by a friendly AIESECer and he brought me to this guesthouse ( Capitol GuestHouse). It was quite small with no windows, but was clean and decent.  I stayed there for a few hours alone and ...

After taking the midday bus from Sihanoukville, 230km away, we arrived in the capitol of Cambodia, Phnom Penh at 6:30pm after a bit of a delay. After about one hour into our journey we heard a massive bang at the back of the bus. One of the rear tyres had ...

... Ok, the previous blog told about how we got into Cambodia (good grief)! So, now we are in the capital city, Phnom Penh, and in the same guesthouse as our Israeli frends from Laos, by chance. We ended up staying in this city for 9 days and this is ...

... that much money here to put in the pass machines!!! SO off we went and thought that we would risk our lives walking the streets of Phnom Penh in burning heat to try and find a internet place no 1 with cd rom and no 2 with a burner which actually proved ...

And so to the 19th we left by bus to reach the capital Phnom Penh, the countryside reminding us of Africa a dry flat barren land stretching out in the distance. The city has to be one of the craziest places I have ever been too, we were thinking ...

Phnom Penh is the capitol of Cambodia,it is a large sprawling city.There are some areas that are nice and clean,mostly in government  areas and where  big buisness and very expensive hotels are located. Parts of  the riverfront are also ...

... an hour and a half south of Phnom Penh and took a minibus the rest of the way up. We got dropped off at the Capitol guesthouse, located in one of two backpacker areas. I had already booked a room at the other end of town in the second backpacker area. I ...

... noodles with beef and a pizza. The next day i met up with Tha and he took me to the Killing Fields just outside of Phnom Penh and then back into town to S21 Genocide museum. Literally a week before leaving the UK, i didn't know anything about ...

I: Phnom Penh is something different. Just like most of Cambodia. The normal everyday city tour consists of Killing fields, torture prisons, and shooting ranges. And let's not forget about the garbage mountain! No other capitol could be like this. We ...

... Mon 7th July (Happy Birthday Rach!) - Leave Sihanoukville as we find it (pouring down!) and get to Phnom Penh at 5pm where we check into the Royal Guesthouse then head straight out down to the quayside and eat at a Thai restaurant. Tues 8th July - We ...

Were a bit behind on our entries again so I'll try and remember back to last week. We arrived in Phnom Penh, the Cambodian capitol city, around 7pm on the 11th. The tour company who we were traveling with left us outside their guesthouse in the middle of ...

... don’t celebrate this holiday, there were a few locals who passed us wearing Santa hats and wishing us a Merry Christmas. Phnom Penh is quite clean and very civilized.  No crazy traffic, cross walks that really work, clean(ish) streets, not ...

... know of. After getting our stuff and getting out of the way an older man asked if we needed a ride. I told him the place, Capitol Guesthouse and he paused and looked at our map and turned and pretended to ask his friends where it was. He was really ...
