“I loved it!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 1, 2013

The aroma when we walked in the lobby of the hotel was very pleasant.

Real friendly staff!! The gardens and pool are beautifully designed! We had the dinner buffet and liked it so much so we had that again the second night.

The Cambodian show at dinner reminded me of Thailand a lot, not sure that would be the best music for dinner since the drum beat was so strong.

Breakfast was great!! We had some laundry done and it was finished real fast!

They could do a bit better with their gym though. I got to work out just fine. We would recommend this hotel to friends!!

The location is not in the center, but I understand it would be hard for such a large hotel to be in the heart of the city. It is very close to Angkor Watt!!

“Beautiful and luxurious”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 31, 2012

This Sofitel is set in beautiful landscaped grounds, it has a huge swimming pool and on arrival we were greeted by traditional dancers. The restaurant provides a great buffet breakfast and lunch. The staff were very friendly and helpful and town is just a very short tuk tuk ride away.

“Just OK - a bit over-priced and rooms in need of renovation.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 30, 2012

This resort is very nice at first impression, but rooms are not up to Sofitel standards as they are tired looking and in need of renovation, and hence this hotel is not great value, especially when comparing to other 5 star properties we've visited during our 2 week trip through Cambodia and Vietnam. Pool is nice and breakfast buffet is good (but Phnom Penh Sofitel was better).

Room Tip: Ask for a room far from the pool if you want to enjoy some quiet time. Hotel is child friendly so th...

“a city paradise”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 28, 2012

The Sofitel was my last check in in Siem Reap. I have been here a month and have stayed in 5 hotels and naturally I knew this would be the one to beat.

The rooms are STUNNING and furniture made of a quality that is hard to find nowadays. The resort itself is well designed and you have to pinch yourself to realise you're in the centre of the city, you can be forgiven for thinking you're on a tropical island somewhere.

The food is great and service OUTSTANDING. I had a problem with a travel agency who booked the wrong flights and refused to change them, the hotel immediately got on the phone to help me out and were so wonderful! Sophea made a point of greeting me everyday and any enquiry i had was dealt with quickly and efficiently and with a smile, nothing was too much, she really made me feel at home whilst staying here over christmas.

It is expensive for Cambodia, but worth it for that added ease knowing everything is taken care of for your stay.

Thank you for the review and for sharing you experience at the Sofitel Angkor. We are so happy that you felt like at “home” during your stay. I have personally passed all your kind comments to the team, and especially Sophea, she was really happy and sends her best regards. Again, I really hope that all our guest feels the same way as you did during their stay with us … charmed by the beauty of Cambodia and its people. Your kind words really encouraged us to tackle this new year with passion as we could see that our efforts and attention to details do not go unnoticed. We would all love to welcome you back very soon – Fabrice Ducry/General Manager
