To get downtown, easiest way is to walk out to the street and take the city bus. There's only 1 bus so you can't get it wrong. Bus stop is just outside the airport on the street a few dozen meters east of the train station. 1500 Riel. Given typical traffic its not usually any slower than a tuk tuk.

Train is too slow and only comes once every 2 hours. OK if you have all morning. Did it once. Never again. Bus is so much better as long as you aren't hauling dozens of suitcases.

Carrying your luggage out of the airport grounds to the main road and looking for a bus and waiting for a bus and figuring out the bus routes and getting from the the bus dropoff point to your hotel is easier than holding your hand up when you step outside the airport terminal building and getting the airport taxi to take you directly to anywhere you want to go?
