Cambodia - where we stay

The places we stayed in Cambodia:

First 3 days, we stayed in a cheaper guest house - "Palm Garden Lodge". It only costs us USD15 per nite for a twin sharing air-cond room. The room is clean and cosy. But then the air conditioner in my room was not working very well and it took a long time to cool down the room.


It is quite near to old market and Pubstreet of around 10 mins walk. There is also a 24 hour convenience shop nearby. However part of the road leads to the guesthouse is bumpy and the condition becomes terrible if it rains. The guesthouse also provides services like arranging for tour guide and transport. The owner could speak moderate good english and all of them are very helpful.

Then we moved to a more luxurious 4 stars hotel - Somadevi. It is really worth the price to stay in this 4 stars hotel -SGD$53 per nite only! The room comes with balcony and pool view. It is really very comfortable and we have American buffet breakfast in the morning.


It takes only 5 minutes walk to center market. It is further away from the old market and pub street, but still within walking distance of ard 15 min. I tried to ask this hotel to arrange tour for us but I discovered that the price they quoted was quite high. Eventually, I still turned to Palm Garden Lodge for help. I was very impressed by the guesthouse because they were still willing to do it even though we were no longer staying there.

Overall, we have made the right choice.
