Love this hotel. First class in every way. The staff are amazing, the setting is great. the tour guide they provided was very knowledgable and friendly. I would recommend the room with the pool if your budget works. Its really hot in Siem Reap and the pool was refreshing.

We have been lucky enough to stay at some wonderful hotels across the world and this is up there with the very very best. The welcome sets out how they will treat you and that doesn’t change in the 4 days we were there: nothing is too much trouble, service is always with a smile and you are made to feel very welcome. We stayed in room 4 which was lovey with excellent amenities and well equipped. The hotel is all single storey, small and intimate. We were collected at the airport and whisked into town. The food is very good — we ate 2 meals a day, breakfast and dinner. Breakfast is a la carte with a wide range of western and Cambodian dishes. Afternoon tea is light and tasty. Dinner menu is a mix of a la carte and set: we had the Cambodian set on 2 nights (it changes every day) and the a la carte on the last. It was very very good and they varied the portions sizes because we only wanted small. The wine list is competent and the drinks list extensive. Facilities are good - same day complimentary laundry service - room very well equipped. 2 pools one of which is 25m. Good gym. Local tours were well organised and we had a remorque tour one evening to see Siam Reap at night. No, it isn’t cheap. But we thought it worth every cent.

I loved my stay at Amansara, and pretty much everything about the hotel: beautiful zen design, extremely kind and friendly staff, and most of all really delicious food, possibly the best of any Aman I’ve been to. We tried Cambodian, Indian and international options and everything was top notch - I’d also highly recommend the fresh fruit juices which were god tier. The chef came out to chat with us and was a pleasure to talk to. The only thing which was just good but not great was the iced latte, but it’s probably for the best, as if it were any better I would’ve really struggled with leaving. My complaints are small ones: would be nice to slightly heat the pools (especially the private ones adjoined to the rooms which I think are nicest to enjoy in the evenings), and as with many Amans the property is showing a bit of wear in places and is probably overdue for some touch ups. In particular it would be nice to have easier blinds with better blackout for people who are sensitive to light. My room (20), was nicely tucked away in the far corner of the property, but quite scuffed in places. Our guide was also excellent and a very nice guy, my only feedback would be that it’s ok to let guests enjoy some moments of silence here and there. The commentary was a little bit too non-stop for my personal taste, but I recognise that he was simply trying to do the job to the best of his ability, so it would be unkind for me to moan about it too much. A tip for future guests: I would check the weather forecast if you plan to do a sunrise visit to Angkor Wat - if it’s going to be cloudy, I’m not sure it’s worth the schlep of getting up at the crack of dawn. You can just as well visit later in the day, albeit with slightly more crowds (it’s still far from empty at sunrise).

A wonderful stay, in a private oasis in the middle of Siem Reap. The buildings have great character, the rooms are cool and spacious and the pool spa areas are lovely. What makes this hotel super special are the staff and the guest experience. Everything is organised for you with your input, the guides are amazing and so dedicated. All the staff are friendly and helpful and the GM and his team were fantastic. Can’t fault it, attention to detail was incredible and they struck the perfect balance between being attentive and too invasive. Would highly recommend to anyone !

It doesn’t get better than Amansara. Set in a royal guesthouse from the 60s, spread out over incredibly refined and serene gardens with an Albers-esqu pool, it is perfection. Our room was impeccable, simple in the most elegant manner, spotless, and supremely comfortable. Centered around its own courtyard and pool, it is the kind of room you take pictures of thinking you should build one back home. The hotel organized activities for each day, and each was flawless and without stress. “No rush,” I heard again and again. Make sure to take their private boat to see the floating villages and have a dinner organized at their reconstructed traditional home. The food is also excellent, served in the original soaring dining room. At night, the garden is lit with 100s of cables. Magical. Now, for that staff. From the GM and head of front office Anda, on down, they are charming and kind and efficient. They became our friends. Yes, it is expensive. But if you can afford it, DO. It is one of those rare jewels.
