Budget
Okay Guesthouse
Large and busy guest house with restaurant, terrace, internet cafe. A good place if you like hanging out with other travellers. They show movies every evening. The rooms are basic but clean, the cheaper rooms are sometimes very small and do not have a window, the more expensive rooms on the 2nd floor are generally a bit better. Somewhat quiet in the evening. It is the 'high density feed lot' for tourists. They provide food, rooms, buses & tours. The rooms are rather bleak and sad by Cambodia guesthouse standards but cheap and relatively clean.
