  Comments from Utopians:

  "I spent 2 nights last month at Khemara Battambang I Hotel. It's a big and modern hotel in a quiet area only 5 minutes from the center of town by tuk-tuk. My deluxe room was large and very comfortable. In this hotel you can find a good restaurant with very kind staff, a big swimming pool and a fitness center in another building in front of the hotel, with gym room, dry sauna, steam room, two jaccuzzis and a relaxing room. The entrance fee is US$4. Hotel and fitness are not gay but some local guys come to the sauna at the end of afternoon. No play possible inside, but just to take contact." -- MARCELERIC, Jan 8, 2012

  "Pleasant environment with excellent service and support - discreet, yet friendly and informative." -- GWMAndre, May 24, 2011

  "Manor House is THE place to stay in Phnom Penh. Reasonable rates and gorgeous rooms (I stayed in one of the cheapest rooms, and I was surprised at how beautiful and spacious it was!). Friendly staff and dedicated owners keep the place running smoothly. Easy walking distance from Independence Monument and the bars/restaurants of the Foreigners' Quarter, and a pleasant 30-minute walk (or so) to the Royal Palace and National Museum. Highly recommended!" -- cyrc_84, Feb 1, 2011
