Siemp Reap is a pleasant 4 hour bus ride from Phonm Penh. Once in Siem Reap you instantly feel the small town vibe and immediately welcome being here instead of the bigger city which is Phonm Penh.
It is a charming town with a river canal running around it. Accommodations are priced reasonably, food is cheap, and shopping is good value at the Old Market and Night Market. In Bar St area(photo above) near the Old Market, you will find bars and restaurants which are very tastefully done in modern or Khmer architecture. You can also experience Cambodian massage in the massage and spa places in the area. A massage is an anticipated treat after a day spent walking around the ancient temples of Angkor Wat.
A stay in Siem Reap, which is still has a lot of Old French shophouses, complements the ancient attractions around Angkor.
