Phnom Penh - which area to stay in?
Which area of the city is best to stay? I am interested in sightseeing and being close to restaurants, pubs, etc in the evening? I was looking at accommodation in the Riverfront area, but have read conflicting reviews of the presence of prostitutes in this area. I would prefer to be within walking distance of restaurants/bars in the evening.. Am I better off staying in the Beung Keug Kang area instead of Riverfront? I only have one full day in the city and would like to stay somewhere centrally located.
Thanks.
Thanks.

We stayed at the FCC and enjoyed being as close as we were to the quay, which is always pretty lively. I didn't think it was particularly an off-putting area at all.
(the FCC rooms are nice, but funky. Very few rooms and not a super modern place, unlike the Siem Reap location.. and a little noisy overhead... but we liked it)

I prefer the Riverfront and can't say I've been hassled by prostitutes. Tuk tuk drivers offering to take me to prostitutes yes but streetwalkers no. Personally I think the advantages of the Riverfront outweigh the disadvantages.
