I am arriving at PP Airport at the ungodly hour of 01:30! Obviously I can't wander the streets at that time, looking for a guesthouse in PP. I am a woman travelling alone. Can someone recommend a cheap guesthouse with clean rooms (w fan) and private bathroom, which is 'centrally located' in PP, AND has airport pickup service at 01:30 in the morning?

you can take a taxi from the airport at all hours--9 bucks. For hotels, avoid Narins guesthouse, unless you can geet a room in the annex which is a nice building. If you look up andy brouwers cambo website (andy has a particular hotel he likes to patronise) or talesofasia.com, they recommend hotels. Some, like the Walkabout, take bookings on-line and are open all nite.

bon voyage! Cool

Walkabout? EEEEEUUUUCCCCHHHHH! The room I looked at was damp, mouldy and distinctly unclean.

Try the Flamingos hotel. They do offer a pick up service but I dont know if it will be ok at that time. I havent been there but everyone who has stayed there has said its really good. Rooms are about $20/night

I think I've got a fairly complete list of guest houses in Phnom Penh that have web sites at http://mekongesl.gotop100.com, also check www.khmer440.com

Top Banana guesthouse is a pretty good one in a central location. They don't do hotel pickups but you will be able to get a taxi there from the airport. It's close to a bunch of internet cafes, restaurants and in a safe part of town. I know of a few people who've stayed there and they all say it's about as good as it gets for a cheap guesthouse in Phnom Penh.

Don't know about contact details though. Do a google search, or perhaps it's in the guidebook. It's on the corner of St 178 and St 51.

Superstar Hotel (I kid you not), near the Highness Hotel and the big Wat (Ola....). Fantastic staff, new, clean, and delightful.

OK guesthouse has reasonable food, clean rooms and prices. Last Home guesthouse is good also, and has a much better food.

Good luck. www.talesofasia.com or www.mekongesl.com would be a good place to check for this sort of thing.

Avoid the walkabout unless you are looking for prostitution and drugs. I am guessing that you aren't looking for that! I'm a straight male, and even I get tired of that scene very, very, quickly.
