Paragon Hotel Phnom

Upon arriving in Phnom Penh we went straight to our hotel - the infinitely superior (compared to the last one in Phnom Penh!) Paragon Hotel. Our bags were carried up to our room for us which was fantastic; we had been debating how on earth we were going ...

... we are in Phnom Penh. Got here yesterday by taxi in a little over 4 hours rather than 6+ by bus. Settled into the Paragon Hotel right on the riverfront, then found a halal restaurant for some lunch. Just relaxed on the balcony for the afternoon and ...

OK, after 4 or so hours in the bus we are here at Phnom Penh again. Unfortunately the Paragon Hotel didn;t have a romm so we are at the Burly Hotel in no less than the VIP suite which for $20 got us 2 beds but more importantly hot water. After lunch we ...

After a pretty painless 6 hour bus ride, we arrived in Phnom Penh, Cambodia's capital city. The boarder crossing and getting our visa's was way easier than either of us thought it would be. The landscape on the drive was very similar to Vietnam; ...

... only 35 years ago.  The cells many were kept in were tiny, conditions appalling and when the Vietnamese army liberated Phnom Penh only 7 prisoners were alive at S-21. Though the Cambodians have a cruel recent history, you'd be pushed to find ...

... Cambodia's past and show our respect to the many Cambodians whose lives were lost during the war and struggle. We stayed riverside and had an amazing view from our hotel.  We also managed to get on a boat for sunset; and had it all to ...

... Phnom Penh after wandering the street negotiating/arguing price. Luckily when the driver got lost he accidentally pulled up outiside our Hotel (Paragon, which is clean comfy and friendly with views of the river). We then went on a ...

We landed in Phnom Penh and got a taxi to the Paragon Hotel, where we checked into what would be a 4 star Hotel room in the UK, for the incredible price of 20 American Dollars, about 14 quid! The first thing that struck me about Cambodia was the ...

... lovely :) we visited three hotels and I let the girls decide while I hung out with luc. We eventually secured a triple room in the Paragon hotel on the river front for $21 a night, bargained down by ranu from $30 :) the room was nice and our moods began ...

... panniers and a donkey pulling a cart! In Phnom Penh was accosted by tuk tuk drivers as soon as I hopped off the bus! I said the Paragon Hotel but when I got there I didn't really like it. Of course in my usual style I still said yes. Then I walked around ...

... to my accommodation at the Manor House for about US43 a night. I hit the nightlife, including a basic meal on the Riverfront at the Paragon Hotel... $13 all up.  I had children around the age of 8 asking me if I wanted opium, 'fu** with this ...

... I think definitely this type of travel is for the young and beginners to travel. We are now in the luxurious Cambodiana Hotel in Phnom Penh after an altercation that it was time to accept our weakness, luxury hotels. I didn't mention the sex trade ...

... the missing garments on the balcony below…. a word with the concierge and they too were retrieved. One last comment on Phnom Penh... our overall impression of this intoxicating city is a positive one of hope. The sheer exhuberance of youth is on ...

... & so we left quickly. God we are so lucky to have not lived through such things. Moved to another more central hotel called the Paragon, which was nice apart from the spy holes in the bathroom ceiling.  Walked around the markets & saw live ...

After we arrived into Phnom Penh, we got a tuk tuk to our hotel. It was an interesting journey because it started pouring down with torrential rain, fortunately the tuk tuk had canopy which enclosed us so we didn't get wet, but the poor people on the ...

... moment we stepped out the plane, into the air-bridge, both of us want to step back into the plane again!! Hahaha. The Phnom Penh International Airport is small, but neat and nice.  On the left of the airport exit, there's the Tourist Information ...

... some reason. Coconut candy had to fuel us for the last 30 miles, but the sugar high was pretty powerful. We checked into a friendly hotel and set out to explore.  There were some nice traveller type cafes to sit in and we really enjoyed watching the ...

... you think of dry barren landscapes – well I do. ************************************************************************************************************** We eventually arrived in PHNOM PENH at about 02.30pm. We got off the bus and ignoring all ...
