Places to stay

Myself and gf will be travelling to PP in just over a month. Planning to stay 2 nites in PP then 2/3 nites in SR.





I would appreciate any advice on places to stay in both PP and SR that:





- are clean and safe



- central location



- friendly staff with good advice to share



- Private Bathrooms



- ';roof top'; bar or something similar to spend the evening.





Price range would be above that of %26#39;backpacker%26#39; but below that of %26#39;western hotel chain';. basically 30-40 USD a nite.

I like Molly Malone in Siem Reap %26amp; Paragon in PP. Paragon doesn%26#39;t have a restaurant but you can walk to FCC a bit further down Sisowath Quay for a rooftop bar. Molly%26#39;s has a verandah bar. Both are within your price range with private bathroom %26amp; TV %26amp; great staff



Places to stay


We stayed for 5 nights in PP last month and stayed in rooms above Sunny Internet cafe. It is on the waterfront and it was GREAT. There are only five rooms and the front two have a balcony overlooking the river. Front rooms are $35US and back rooms are $25US. But the front are by far the best value with ensuite, fridge, comfortable chairs, ironed linen, and very tastefully decorated and of course a lovely balcony. Serviced daily and less then 100 meters to the FCC club and nice bars and nice places to eat nearby.

In SR we stayed at a hotel oppiste the little eating street and 100 meters to pub street. Had an indian sounding name (near the 24 hour supermarket) it was $15.00US very clean, fridge, Air Con, ensuite and daily service.





Enjoy your stay




Hi,



FCC is a bit above your budget (double-rooms from 60 usd) but matches your requirements.

Hi Dave,



Do you have any photos of the Sunny Apartments or the view from your room that you can share?




Yes i have some photos but don%26#39;t know how to add them. Let me know and i will put them up.



Regards David




Sorry David, I%26#39;m clueless about that. Hopefully someone else can advise? Anyone??

To upload photos on TA



- through the menu, go to: My TripAdvisor %26gt; Contributions %26gt; Photos



- click on ';Post photos'; button





Your photos won%26#39;t be published immediately, it needs a few days before TA validates the photos and publishes them.




Have posted 3 photos of the rooms. It is called Sunny Guest House, I found a receipt I had from my stay. Not sure when photos will appear on the webpage.



Regards David




Excellent!!



thanks very much

I was in PP last summer and stayed at the Pavilion. It was beautiful and completely reasonable. I paid $42 a night and the staff was fantastic. Pavilion was one of the better values during my entire seven week trip. They can book your Mekong Express bus tickets too. I recall just emailing the hotel direct and communicated with them to determine my exact rate. It was all exactly as we discussed when I arrived.





Viroth%26#39;s in SR might be out of your range. I think I paid about $75-80 a night; it was a great hotel in SR and close enough to pub street, etc but also far enough away. They only have seven rooms and again, the staff there was lovely.
