I had a friend stay there, he liked it.......he said there were very friendly staff working there "that were not employees".

 

Airasia is super cheap, but they can cancel on you on the fly.........they will put you on a standby flight on another carrier.

 

Some people will walk around at night.....not me.

 

A taxi to most places at night is nessasary.

I have never stayed at the Walkabout but visited there and it is in the heart of the action with several bars / discos a block or two away. Walking the block or two is OK - I found it to be quite busy with people and well lit. But I would not go too far off the main road (# 51 I think) the Walkabout is on - not at night anyway, use the always present mototaxis.

 

BTW an excellent hotel - brand new and about a block away is The Flamingo - 2 nice bars, and a decent restaurant. Check the web for info - they have a site.

Soi7 -

 

recommend staying at the Hotel California2. Jim is the manager, an xpat from California. Nice location and he can fill you in on all the details.

 

Here is their website, I've stayed there several times myself..

I came back from PP recently on AirAsia, as it is a new flight it was cheap ($25+taxes+charges, one way) absolutely no complaints. Efficiency that makes the big carriers look pathetic.

 

I stayed near the Walkabout (Flamingos), which is a good place.

I walked around all over, I was more concerned about being hit by a motorcycle or falling into an open sewer than being mugged. I guess you should avoid the smaller streets as lighting is non-existant.

 

There is a bit of action around the Walkabout...and in it...plenty of girls offering services, although they will not bring you a beer!. Nearby there are several other bars, (Shanghai is good, there being a good selection of serving wenches, some are 'cherry girls'). More action by the river, but take a motorcycle taxi if it gets late.

 

Phnom Pehn is worth a visit. Take a trip to the killing Fields, about 40 Km away.
