Near the river

Staying on the banks of the Tonle Sap River in Phnom Penh is highly recommended if it's within your budget. Although generally more expensive than elsewhere in the city, it is a pleasant, albeit touristy, area to stay. Late afternoon strolling along the promenade or relaxing in one of the many bars or cafes -- or on your hotel or guesthouse veranda -- is a great way to finish the day.
