Blue Lime Hotel Review and Other Phnom Penh Guide Updates
Tue 20 Jul 2010
As should be obvious from my recent posts, I was just in Phnom Penh for a few days, before heading down to Kampot for a few more. I’m now back in Bangkok and have just finished updating the Phnom Penh travel guide at AsiaForVisitors.com. New content includes a review of the Blue Lime hotel and more coverage of architecture and markets.
Superior Double Room at the Blue Lime Hotel
The Blue Lime Hotel is a new (opened in late 2008) addition to Phnom Penh’s amazing array of "boutique" hotels. The 23-room accommodation is on a small quiet alley right behind the National Museum, putting you just a ten minute walk from the museum, the royal palace and the riverside restaurants. The decoration has a heavy ‘concrete’ theme which you’re either going to love, or hate. The hotel has a good-sized pool, which is a rarity in Phnom Penh’s small hotels, and the rooms have free Internet to boot, making Blue Lime an extremely good value-for-money option.
Phnom Penh’s Olympic Stadium
Phnom Penh’s rich architectural tapestry is, for me, one of the city’s main attractions. The Olympic Stadium is certainly one of the jewels, even though it’s a bit out of the main tourist area.
If you do visit the Olympic Stadium, you may want have a wander through the nearby Orussey Market. This is where the people of Phnom Penh really shop, with a vast array of merchandise on offer. You won’t likely find any souvenirs to take home but you might find some great photo opportunities.
