Search and book hotels in Phnom Penh

Almost all hotels in Phnom Penh, with rare exceptions, are concentrated in a compact area in the city center, so you can choose any one that is not far from the city center, namely from The Royal Palace. But the best place is considered to be the area along the waterfront (Riverfront). The largest concentration of cafes and restaurants, travel agencies, is here. And the embankment itself is very pleasant for evening walks.

Cheap accommodation can be found everywhere in the city, but the traditional backpacker area with the lowest prices for accommodation and a large number of guest houses is considered to be the Boeung Lake or Boeung Kak area (position of the backdoor zone on the map). Quite a lot of cheap hotels can be found on street No. 93, which runs along the eastern side of the lake. Here you can find accommodation in a guesthouse from $ 5 per person, but you should be prepared for the real backpacker conditions and the almost complete lack of amenities.

Our, maybe, subjective opinion is that there is no special point in trying to get into the backdoor zone: there is a lot of cheap accommodation, but everything is kind of uncomfortable, dirty and even sometimes unsanitary. If you pay a couple of dollars extra, you can find a better hotel in other parts of the city.

You can find and book accommodation in Phnom Penh on these sites or through the search form. All sites have a Russian interface and Russian-language customer support, a lot of reviews from real guests.
