I am looking for a good place to stay for a month. Requirements are:

- A hotel in a decent area far away from the bar scenes but close to cafes / restaurants.

- A hotel with good facilities, restaurant, pool, bar, cafe etc.

- Could be any part of Cambodia but I would prefer a beach area

- Safe, quiet relaxing location but not too isolated

- Some place where I might be able to negotiate a monthly rate

I have visited the country several times already and I am okay with North, South, Sihanoukville or any other area. Just looking for a decent place to stay with good facilities.

Silver river on street 172

lot less maybe 750

or try an see if Rory's bar has a room available

no pool Phnom Phen;

Or head down to shv an u can find a place easy with pool for under $600 (aqua resort, Beach club resort, an many others.

Are you quoting in US dollars? I was looking for a luxury hotel closer to around $2,000 / month. Thanks

You''d be hard pushed to spend $2k a month outside of Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. My friend here has a 3 bedroom luxury apartment in a 5 star hotel; and it's only $1,300 a month plus electricity (that's in Siem Reap). Apart from Raffles, Le Meridien, Intercontinental and Sofitel (and any other international 5 star brands I've forgotten) on a long term deal you're looking at $1-1.5K a month max for a top of the range establishment. If you want "by the beach" you've got to look at Sihanoukville. A Booking.Com search reveals about 10 hotels in that price bracket and up based on a single months' rent. If you're staying for longer - you can get that down considerably.
