- Reviews: at least 100 reviews and a rating of 4.3 or higher.
- Mentions: guest comments about quiet rooms, garden or calm location.
- Walk: an area within about 5 to 15 minutes on foot of the Old Market, per local guides.

Reading the table: ratings above 4.7 on more than 500 reviews are a strong signal, and stays with fewer reviews deserve a close look at the most recent comments. Boutique hotels at $$ add design and space, and the guesthouse at $ adds a garden and a host.
What a Short Walk Looks Like
Local guides describe a 5 to 15 minute walk between the Wat Bo and Old Market area and the centre, often over a footbridge. Booking.com lists Khmer Mansion Boutique Hotel within about 200 metres of the Night Market and Pub Street, which makes it the closest of the group by the platform's own description. Sok San Road stays sit near Pub Street, and Wat Bo stays sit a little further along the river.
Three walking patterns
- Sok San Road: nearest to the strip, with side-street calm.
- Wat Bo Road: a longer stroll, with residential evenings.
- Wat Bo riverside: calm lanes and cafes on the way.
Choose the pattern that matches how often you plan to head out. Guests who dine out nightly tend to prefer Sok San Road, and guests who want a retreat after the temples tend to prefer Wat Bo.
Make the Room Quiet Too
A calm street gives you the base, and the room position gives you the finish. Ask for a back-facing or upper-floor room and read recent reviews for the words noise and quiet. Guests of a Pub Street-area hotel have written that a bar across the road played loud music past midnight and suggested asking for a rear room, so the advice applies even to well-liked hotels.
A small fan or soft earplugs add a layer of comfort on busy nights, and air-conditioning lets you keep the window closed. High season from November to February brings the liveliest evenings, so make the request for those dates with extra care.
