Longtime lurker here. Just got my Cambodia visa (an ordeal) and will be coming on a business trip next month staying in Phnom Penh for 2.5 months.

What is the best option for booking a serviced apartment? Thailand has many serviced aparthotels that can be booked easily online but I don’t see many for Cambodia.

I have seen advice here to just show up and go around in a tuk tuk looking for apartments but I may not have a lot of time to do that after arrive and will landlords even rent a regular apartment for just 2.5 months???

What is my best option for getting something suitable quickly, centrally located, up to about $1200 a month?

Thanks!

Have you considered directly approaching a well located hotel of interest to you?
Many hotels will offer an exceptional rate for a long term stayer of a month or more.
And you get all of the benefits of a full-service hotel to pick and chose from or to ignore as takes your fancy.
Right now, good hotels are very interested in folk such as yourself as you provide a "base load" income to them while business is slowly recovering.

Was at a small rooftop party at this place at the weekend, the guy whose party it was and another guy staying there were very happy with it: https://www.labelleresidence.com/ The location is away from normal Barang areas but that does mean it's quiet at night

No idea if this will work - but you can filter serviced apartments on Agoda easy enough if my filtering wasn't applied:

Thanks guys. I’d prefer an apartment with kitchen to a hotel. I’ll follow up on your recommendations. I’m surprised no agents will want to talk for a 2.5 month rental at over $1000 a month, even if it’s just a couple hundred bucks commission that seems like it would be worth it for 1-2 days of showing me around.

Google Maps > Search > Serviced Apartments > Check rates that show up automatically on the map > Use rates to evaluate the typical standard to expect > Approach directly to negotiate.

That's what we did anyway. Seemed to work out fine.
