Big climb up to the top but definitely worth it. A tuk tuk here and back from the centre of Battambang is $10-$15.
The area and the temple are well worth a visit.

The steps leading up to Prasat Banan can take it out of you and there are some kids begging for money at the base, but the temple complex is amazing. It is a wonderfully photogenic place which doesn't attract anywhere near the number of visitors it should.
There are five pagodas which can each be entered and looked around at the visitor's own pace. Apparently the idea for the layout of Angkor Wat came from Prasat Banan's own pagodas. There were a couple of monks there when I visited who seemed keen to practice their English with me.
It is definitely a place I'd recommend to anyone staying in Battambang for a couple of days.
