If you’re a worn-out tourist the last thing you need is a hostel right beside a main road or, if you’re really unlucky, a wedding reception. Luckily, elegant restaurant Khmer Surin has its guesthouse located just off Sihanouk Boulevard to provide a relaxing atmosphere. Adorned with antique furniture and surrounded by flowers, it seems pure bliss. Traditional Khmer cuisine (US$3 to US$5) is just waiting to be served and 10 fully-furnished rooms (US$40 to US$55 per night) are also available. Khmer Surin is a testament to the fact that not all hostels were created equal.

Khmer Surin Restaurant and Guesthouse, 9 Street 57, Tel: 012 887 320 or 012 797 539, Restaurant open daily from 10am to 10pm.
