I can see why Top Banana is recommended by Lonely Planet.
Top Banana is a backpacker hang-out AND a place to sleep!
The cheapest rooms cost $ 6 and has got everything a backpacker needs -- bed, fan, attached bathroom and western toilet.
The place is very popular because of the laid-back atmosphere on the balcony (it feels more like a lounge). You can either relax and read a book while laying in a hammock, take a nap in one of their couches or just to get to know other travellers. It`s packed!

After traveling in Cambodia for quite some time, staying at a budget hotel was awfully relaxing!
Our room (407) had air-con that worked OK, private bathroom with hot water, free coffee, TV, fridge and it was clean enough. Their bed was comfortable and I remember waking up fresh and all good.
Would I stay here again?
Yes, given its price and location, it was worth the money.
But the next time, I'm going to choose a room with a window!

PS! I paid $ 20 in Dec 2007.
This guesthouse has excellent location because it`s located right by the Tonle Sap Lake.
My room was spacious and clean. The price included Western toilet, air-con and hot water. And downstairs you have a open-air restaurant/bar where they serve excellent steak meals.
I really enjoyed the service -- they were friendly and they found me a room right away.
But my room didn't have a window. That was the biggest minus about my room. Not having a window in a 25-USD room is not worth it!

If you want a little luxurious Phnom Penh accommodation and want to stay by the river, try the Riverside Hotel.
Price per night: $ 30
The rooms are quite large and clean, with TV, hot water and Western toilet. Best of all, the rooms have big windows and present a nice view of the harbour.
But when it comes to their service -- the staff though could have smiled more and they weren`t attentive.

I wanted to ask them about the transportation options to Siem Reap.
There were three of them working behind the desk, and there were no other guests at the reception. One lady was busy writing, and the two others were just talking. I waited half a minute, then I cleared my throat to make a signal that I was standing there...
... But they didn't pay any attention. Not even a: "Just one minute, I will come to you as soon as I'm done."
So I just stood there and felt like that they didn't see me (but I`m quite sure that they did)!
I was just frustrated, went up to my room and checked out after one night.
