Why it works for a stay in Phnom Penh

The Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, a short walk away, occupies a former high school that the Khmer Rouge turned into a prison. It's a deeply moving place to learn about Cambodia's recent history, and an essential visit for many travellers.

The surrounding area, near Boeung Keng Kang, has plenty of cafes, restaurants and boutiques, and the Russian Market is a short ride away for souvenirs, silk and street food.

The Royal Palace, the National Museum and the riverside are a short tuk-tuk ride north.

After a day of sightseeing, the terrace is a good place to watch the city lights come on.

The Russian Market, or Psar Toul Tom Poung, got its name from the many Russian expats who shopped there in the 1980s. Today it's a maze of stalls selling silk, clothing, crafts, spare parts and some of the city's best street food, from noodle soups to iced coffee.
