"Five star experience all the way. The hotel itself is lovely, artistic and so well appointed. Our villa was truly deluxe with indoor and outdoor spaces, a private pool, all so comfortable and clean. Breakfast had both eastern and western options and we tried fruits we’d never seen before. Can’t say enough about our butler, Van, who was so attentive but not hovering. He assisted in making plans for our outings and gave us excellent advice when it came to seeing Angkor, attending the circus and taking a trip to Tonlé Sap."
"We had a wonderful stay at FCC Angkor by Avani and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Siem Reap, especially families.
The hotel is beautifully designed — a tasteful boutique property with elegant rooms, lovely decor, and a very peaceful atmosphere. Everything was exceptionally clean and well maintained. The location is perfect: right along the river, walking distance to the Royal Gardens and close to Pub Street, while also being very convenient for Angkor Wat sunrise tours.
One of the things we loved most was the hospitality. Every staff member was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, and they made traveling with our 5-year-old very comfortable. The hotel is also very family-friendly, with a kids club and swimming pool life jackets available for children, which gave us extra peace of mind.
The food quality was exceptional throughout our stay, and the spa experience was absolutely lovely after long sightseeing days.
The hotel also adds thoughtful cultural touches that make the stay feel special — we especially enjoyed the traditional Apsara dance performance on Saturday evening and the gin tasting session on Friday night.
Overall, FCC Angkor by Avani strikes the perfect balance between luxury, culture, comfort, and location. It truly added to the magic of our Cambodia trip."
"Exceptional in every way
If I could give this a 6 star rating I would. Everything about the hotel was exceptional and that is due to one thing that many hotels overlook, attention to detail. This is all down to the amazing staff, from the welcome when you arrive to the way they attend to every guests needs, our experience couldn’t be beaten.
The location is great, the pool was the perfect antidote to a day walking around temples and the breakfast was the best we have had over 6 hotels we have stayed in over the last 5 weeks.
We have stayed in many hotels both for work and pleasure around the world and this is amongst the best. We highly recommend anyone visiting Siem Reap to stay in this exceptional hotel."
"This is the best possible lodging experience in Siem Reap. No exceptions. The hotel, service, staff, environment, were flawless. Walkable to night market, and a short direct drive to Angkor Wat. "
