The small garden was a beautiful, peaceful and relaxing place to sit, chat, eat, or read.

My room had air conditioning, cable tv, internet connection, coffee and tea.

The restaurant served us bread and scrambled eggs, and we could also ask for fried noodles in the morning with no cost at all.

All staff were so polite to guests.

Frangipani Villa is located in the centre and is very convenient to go to the supermarket or other places such as Russian Market, Royal Place etc.

Overall I found this a great stay and would certainly recommend it to other tourists who would like to stay in Phnom Penh.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18931 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18150
There's also a Seeing Hands blind massage place nearby which is recommended after an afternoon tramping round the Royal Palace.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18150 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17288
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/14856 10,000 people were killed here during the Pol Pot years. Visiting the centre gives deep insight into the evil forces of man and should be mandatory for every visitor to Phnom Penh.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14856 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13432 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13432 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11102 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11102 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11014
Since 1994, Sovanna Phum have been reviving some of the treasures of Cambodian culture which were all but lost under the regime of the Khmer Rouge. Artists are now able to earn a living, to provide performances for international audiences and to use their art for educational purposes for the people of Cambodia.

An excellent evening out for only $5.

Performances every Friday and Saturday at 7.30pm.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11014 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10692 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10692 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10669 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10669 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10220
Saves hassle, and can be great if you strike up a rapport, even better if they speak a bit of English.

Pay 2000 riel per journey (maybe 3000 at 3am), or negotiate a day rate.

Plus if you're planning on being out late, having a moto driver you trust who you can ring up on a mobile is worth the extra peace of mind.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10220 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10162 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10162 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10112
As the name suggests, the best thing about this place is that it is right on the lakeside - I spent many a happy hour swinging in a hammock watching Cambodian lake-life drift by.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10112 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10109
It's not for the faint-hearted, and Brian's mad jabber can get wearing, but it's definitely worth a visit. If only for the sunset.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10109 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10105 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10105 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10087 2. Wait till dusk.
3. Crack open an Angkor beer and enjoy the spectacle. Like a miniature aerobatics display, hundreds of bats will be skimming the surface of the water in search of insects.

It may not sound like much, but it's one of the most fascinating sights in the whole city. And it's free.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10087 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10072 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10072 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10071 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10071 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10070 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10070 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10067 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10067 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10068 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10068
