Where to Stay for a 1st time visitor

Hi forumers,

I%26#39;ll be going to SR next March for a few days and would like to know which area is the best to stay in. I would prefer a area with lotsa shops and things to do and restaurants so that I can find activities and restaurants easily espc at night. Any place to recommend? I am going on a budget and would prefer guesthouses.

Any idea? Thanks

How is the weather in March ?

It%26#39;s heating up that time of year, but the upside is that things are cheaper and less crowded.

The heat makes a pool worth a bit of an upcharge IMO for a mid-day respite from the heat. Some guest houses have pools, but not many. You need one with a lot of shade.

A good choice is the Bopha Angkor Hotel ($40-50 I think, maybe less in off season). Nice saltwater pool, lush gardens. Just across the river from the noise of Pub Street where you will find tons of restaurants, etc. A 5 minute walk away.

If you don%26#39;t need a pool you can move closer to Pub Street but I don%26#39;t know why you%26#39;d want to. Many great guesthouses all along Wat Bo and several right in the thick of it downtown.

You can check out all the options for guest houses at Canbypublications.com

Enjoy your trip!

Hi Thanks for the info

I think it will definitely be a great trip for me! so looking forward to it

I stayed at Ancient Angkor Guesthouse in Oct. They have a small pool, very clean and with free internet access in the lobby, cable tv, private bath, AC and free pickup at the airport with advance notice. Single room $10 with fan, double $15 with AC.

Very short walk to center of town, restaurants,shops and markets.
