Phnom Penh Small Hotels - Reviews and Rates

A depressing day indeed. I arrived in Phnom Penh in the early hours of the morning with my Dutch gal pal Danielle, my traveling companion for this cultural and historical excursion to Cambodia. With only 6 days total in the country and inclusive of air and overland travel, our itinerary was packed. After settling into our hostel, we ventured out...

Fine flight on DragonAir a Hong Kong based airline. Issued Cambodian visa at the airport for $USD 20, valid till March 4, 09. Took tuk tuk into town and accepted okay room at Jockey Hotel downtown. US$15/night Visited river front., Khmer rouge torture site/museum, Wat, wandered around some but mostly spun my wheels before finally getting going u...

the killing fields is something that i have always wanted to visit since i first read about it in the 9th grade. i don't have a morbid fascination with death or anything, but i was just amazed how pol pot could kill off 1/3 of the entire population of his own country, and the rest of the world didn't seem to do anything about it. he even had a s...

(attention : je nai non seulement pas daccents sur mon clavier, comme dhabitude, mais je ne trouve pas non plus lapostrophe. Il faudra utiliser un peu dimagination !) Nous voila de retour a la ville. Et pas nimporte laquelle ; la capitale du Cambodge, Phnom Penh. Je viens tout juste darriver apres un journee de 12h de transport, sur lautobus le ...

surprise surprise- brianne is off again! this winter i maxed out my nenkyu (holiday leave) and hit up Cambodia, Vietnam, and Laos (CVL.) It was the longest trip I've taken thus far... and got to be a bit exhausting midway through (but that could have been more the country that I was in, than the time I had been traveling...) Read on to hear abou...

Ein neuer Tag in Phnom Penh. Heute stand klassisches Programm. Als erstes führte uns unser Weg zum Wat Phnom, der Pagode, von der die Stadt ihren Namen hat. Der Legende nach hatte eine Frau namens Penh vier Buddha-Statuen im Mekong gefunden und diese dann auf einem Nahen Berg beherbergt. Phnom ist der Khmer-Name für Berg, womit Phnom Penh soviel...

We arrived here from Siem Reap on Thursday afternoon, an uneventful bus journey of about five hours. We had even called ahead to reserve a room so we were sorted. We are staying in the backpacker ghetto of Boeung Kak - a row of guesthouses which grow out over the lake on stilts. Amazing sunsets, cheap food and beer, and about five stereo systems...

Paul and I arrived here in Phnom Penh last night. We landed at night, found a hotel, and went out to see what was going on in Phnom Penh on a Monday night. The first thing I noticed is that the people here are abjectly poor. It is sad, indeed. At 11pm on Monday in the capital city, we saw many, many children out on the street. They were either s...

CHEGADA NO CAMBOJA Cheguei bastante cansado em Phnom Penh, capital do Camboja, devido a uma noite sem sono, nos voos atraves da Tailandia. Mas consegui visitar um pouco da cidade, e tenho assunto para amanha. Antes de rumar para a cidade de Siem Reap, proxima das ruinas grandiosas de Angkor, tentarei descrever um pouco do que ja' vi por aqui. Go...

Arrived in Cambodia's capital yesterday. A busy city of about 1.5 million. Got off the bus and headed to the city's hippy hang out on the outskirts beside the lake. It was a bit grubby but there was a good vibe about it. We threw our bags into our $2 a night gaff and got drunk with an Aussie couple we had just met. Later that night we had a weir...
