I certainly wouldn't recommend it to lone women. If anything goes wrong (and it did with me) you will have absolutely no help whatsoever.

Capitol Guesthouse looks awful from the outside but on the inside it's scrupulously clean, has cable TV, private bathroom, air conditioning, good security (proper walls!) and all for about $8-10.

It also runs buses to Ho Chi Minh City, Siem Reap etc so it's very well located. You'll get off the backpackers trail just that little bit and experience much better levels of comfort, security and hygiene. And it's just round the corner from possibly one of the best and friendliest restaurants in Cambodia - Mama's.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17288 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10112

Try not to pay more than 2000 riel for any single journey in the capital.

You can actually be quite hard nosed about it and say that you will not accept anything higher - as you know the going rate!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8068 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4663 The rooms are all good value, and individually designed. Well worth the prices.
The small atmospheric terrace garden is good in the evenings for a drink or two.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4663
