The requirements are going to put you into the nicer Phnom Penh hotels with a higher rate.

$20 rooms will get you a tub in some Cambodia Hotels The WIFI is the hard part as most, make that none of the Phnom Penh hotels budget accommodations offer free wifi that I am aware of. You can find hotspot wifi at some hotels like the Phnom Penh Hotel.

An option for you to consider would be in a serviced apartment some start around 600 a month and you can ad the wifi. The advantage is that you will get allot more amenities. Palm Gardens up near Phnom Penh Hotel near US Embassy and Wat Phnom would be a good place to start.

Another option to consider would be to negotiate with the budget hotels for a monthly rate this will be an off season this year so there will be room for negotiation. You might have a bit of a hard time though because you will be in the strongest demand period but I still feel that you should be able to get a deal.

What area is the orphanage? There are several areas of Phnom Penh you will ofcourse want to be as close as possible to your work or you will want to be close to where you are going to play for both of these I can strongly recommend the Cambodia Pocket Guide Phnom Penh Travel Guides & Siem Reap Travel Guides.

All of the big hotels Raffles Phnom Penh Sunaway all have serviced apartments again talk to them and you will get a better rate and talk to a ast manager or higher as the desk people will not do anything for you as it means more work for them and they get paid to stand there not to help you beyond what they have been trained to do of course that is a generalization but you will find it all too true.

Let me know how you do. I posted this on the Cheap Charlies Blog for all to see as your questions were very good. If you are reading the blog please feel free to ask your questions and we will get to them usually in less than 24 hours.

Have a great day!
Chuck

There are very few cities in India that can boost of a rich legacy and unique and exciting diversity as that of Hyderabad. Be it the fascinating and captivating forts and ancient monuments, the inimitable existence of the age old culture of the Nawabs, the delicious and mouth watering Hyderabadi cuisine, or the new born hard core business aspect, every facet of this city is a persona in itself. Emerging like a phoenix as the next big thing in the Indian business circle, the hotels in Hyderabad have also upgraded to compete with any international hotel on a given day. Most of the premium Hyderabad hotels have all the standard business features although there are exclusive Business hotels in Hyderabad nowadays and the number is ever increasing. Recently the Andhra Pradesh government gave the 24-hour liquor license to the four star, five star and the five-star deluxe hotels in Hyderabad. This step has brought the Hyderabad hotels nearer to the standards of the international hotels.
