Hotels & Neighbourhoods
Where to stay in Phnom Penh
By SmileJet Editorial Team · Updated May 2026
Three central neighbourhoods serve dental tourism patients well. Each suits a different travel style. Your coordinator pre-books at SmileJet partner rates once you confirm your treatment plan.
The three central neighbourhoods
Heritage & walking
Daun Penh & Riverside
The historic core, hugging the Mekong waterfront. Royal Palace, Silver Pagoda, National Museum, and most colonial heritage sit within a 15-minute walk. Best for first-time visitors who want a sense of place. Royal Phnom Penh Dental Hospital and Phnom Penh International Dental are based here.

Embassies & dining
BKK1 (Boeung Keng Kang)

Indicative rates. Actual prices vary by season; the dry season (November to February) is highest. SmileJet partner rates apply to confirmed bookings via your coordinator.
How to pick
The simplest approach is to match the neighbourhood to your matched clinic, since walking distance to your appointments matters more than anything else for first-trip dental tourism. Your coordinator typically recommends a hotel within a 5 to 10 minute walk or short Grab ride from your clinic.
If you have travel preferences that override clinic proximity — heritage walking (Daun Penh & Riverside), familiar Western dining (BKK1), or a quiet long-stay (Toul Kork) — let your coordinator know and they will balance your preference against clinical logistics.
For multi-trip patients, it is often worth picking a different neighbourhood for Trip 2 to see more of Phnom Penh.
