A super-friendly spot with breezy rooftop hangout that's perfect for
chilling. The rooms aren't going to wow you but they are functional. US$12 gets you air-
con - not bad.

This hotel is a revelation in the
sleepy Tuol Sleng district. The six attractively furnished rooms share an impeccably re-
stored traditional house with the vegan-friendly K'nyay restaurant upstairs.
BOUTIQUE HOTEL

Boeng Kak Area
This was backpacker central - a lakeside version of Bangkok's Khao San Rd - until
Boeng Kak (ie the lake) was completely filled in with sand in 2011 as part of a massive
development project. A couple of holdouts remain, offering up basic rooms, cheap cock-
tails, free laundry and happy snacks. A semblance of the crusty old backpacker spirit sur-
vives, but it's very quiet and the location isn't great - a good place to hide.
