Hotels in Cambodia

Most trips to Cambodia are built around two places, and that's where our hotels are. Siem Reap is the base for the temples of Angkor, with a large choice of family-run guesthouses, social hostels and small boutique hotels with pools. Phnom Penh, the capital, has the Royal Palace, the National Museum, lively markets and the memorials to the Khmer Rouge years, along with guesthouses, B&Bs and serviced apartments.

Each city has its own page with an area guide, so you can compare places in the same neighbourhood side by side and see whether you'd be walking to dinner or taking a tuk-tuk.

Planning a trip to Cambodia

When to go

The dry season, roughly November to April, is the most popular time to visit; November to February is also the coolest, while March to May is very hot. The rainy season, from about May to October, usually brings heavy afternoon downpours rather than all-day rain, fewer visitors and a green landscape around the temples.

Getting between Siem Reap and Phnom Penh

The two cities are linked by buses and minivans, which take roughly 5 to 7 hours depending on the service, and by short domestic flights. Both cities have new international airports outside town: Siem Reap–Angkor International opened in 2023 and Techo International in Phnom Penh took over all flights in 2025, so allow extra time for the transfer.

Money and getting around

US dollars are widely used for hotels, tours and larger purchases alongside the Cambodian riel, which often appears as small change. In both cities, tuk-tuks and ride-hailing apps such as PassApp and Grab are the usual way to get around.

Before you go

Visa rules, including the e-visa and visa-on-arrival options, and health advice can change. Check the latest guidance from the UK government (gov.uk foreign travel advice) or your own country's equivalent before you book.

Questions about staying in Cambodia

How many days do I need for Siem Reap and Phnom Penh?

A common plan is three or four nights in Siem Reap, which allows two or three days at the temples, plus two or three nights in Phnom Penh. Add a few days more if you want to reach the coast or the countryside.

Should I start in Siem Reap or Phnom Penh?

Either works. Many people fly into one and out of the other, travelling between them by bus or a short flight, so it often comes down to which route has the better flights for your dates.

Where should I stay for Angkor Wat?

In Siem Reap. The main temples start a few kilometres north of town, and there's a far bigger choice of hotels, restaurants and transport there than anywhere closer to the park.

Do you take bookings?

No. We compare hotels and link to booking partners, where you check live prices and book directly with them.
