Most of the accommodations are in Kampot City proper or upriver 1-7 kilometers from town. The city is comparatively compact and most of the in- town hotels are within walking distance of the popular riverfront area. Several stylish little places occupy colonial-era buildings in the Old French Quarter , offering a uniquely Kampot experience and plenty of nearby restaurants and bars. For a more natural, secluded, laid back set- ting, a number of budget and mid-range guesthouses and resorts dot the riverside stretching north from town, some of them sev- eral kilometers upriver , offering everything from family-friendly eco-resorts to backpacker getaways. A small cluster of boutique resorts and guest- houses (with swimming pools, restaurants and bars) has recently set up at Andong Khmer , a rural area about 15 minutes west of town well off the main road. It’s a tranquil and quiet area of

rice paddies and villages.
