Raffles Grand Hotel D'Angkor

Jaleh Moyse

I arrived in the evening to a lovely warm welcome from the staff. Check-in was smooth, and I was shown to my room. There’s no doubt that the hotel itself is beautiful, but unfortunately, I noticed a few areas that could be improved. The bathtub wasn’t as clean as I would have expected, with hairs left behind, so I ended up cleaning it again myself before using it. At a hotel of Raffles’ standard, I really don’t feel this should be necessary. The carpet underneath the bed was also noticeably dirty, tired and worn, and the large sofa cushion had definitely seen better days and could do with being replaced. Another issue I had was with the shower gel and shampoo dispensers. They kept getting jammed, making it extremely difficult to get any product out, and in the end I actually had to remove the dispenser mechanism altogether just to be able to use them. It’s a small detail, but not something I would expect to have to deal with at a hotel of this standard. I also found the food options at the hotel quite limited and ended up eating the same things throughout my stay. I think the dining experience would really benefit from a refreshed menu with a wider and more varied selection. On a positive note, the pool area is absolutely stunning, and the staff throughout my stay were attentive and welcoming. Overall, it’s a beautiful property with wonderful employees, but a few improvements to the room maintenance, cleanliness and dining options would make the experience much more in line with what I would expect from Raffles.

An absolutely sublime 5-day stay in August. This was my second time in Siem Reap, and unlike the usual quick tourist hop, my goal was truly to relax and take my time—and the Raffles delivered perfectly. * Steeped in history: The building is magnificent, a true historical monument. It is incredibly rare to find a property of this standing that has always been a hotel from day one, rather than a converted building, giving it a rich, authentic history. A special thank you to the General Manager who gave us the privilege of a private guided tour; it was a wonderful and incredibly kind gesture. * Exceptional service: I loved the service across the board—from the reception and valets/concierge to the restaurant and pool staff. It is their protocol to know every guest's name, and they execute this with such genuine warmth and professionalism. * Palace-level breakfast: The quality of the food offered at breakfast is outstanding. It is worth noting that they serve real champagne, and the dairy products and fruits are of exceptional quality. There are plenty of à la carte options, which makes perfect sense for an ultra-exclusive boutique hotel feel with palace standards, rather than a massive 400-room resort. * An oasis: The swimming pool is absolutely immense. A true favorite. I will return with great pleasure!

**A True Five-Star Experience** Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor in Siem Reap surpassed every expectation we had. From the moment we arrived, it truly felt like a five-star experience. The property itself is absolutely stunning, with so much charm and character, and our room was beautiful. What really made our stay exceptional, though, was the staff. Everyone was incredibly attentive, kind, and welcoming, and the level of service throughout our stay was outstanding. Breakfast was amazing, with so much variety and everything we tried was delicious. The pool was another highlight of our stay. The staff thought of every little detail, even bringing us chilled bug spray, sunscreen, and other goodies while we relaxed by the pool. And I have to mention the welcome tea—it quickly became my favorite drink! I looked forward to it and cannot recommend it enough. Every detail of our stay felt thoughtful and special. This is exactly what you hope for when staying at a five-star hotel, and Raffles absolutely delivered. I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Siem Reap, and I already look forward to the day we can come back!

One of the great destination hotels of Southeast Asia, this one will delight foodies, heritage buffs and holiday enthusiasts alike. The food service is exceptional, particularly the degustation menu in Restaurant 1932. It has period prints and the oldest lift in the country. The pool is one of the most beautiful I have seen in a hotel, especially with the heritage bar and gold lions behind. The staff are excellent—friendly but not overwhelming. Highly recommended.

From the moment we arrived at Raffles Grand Hotel D'Angkor in Siem Reap, entering right in front of the Royal Independence Gardens and being warmly greeted at the door, every single detail was absolute perfection. We had the privilege of dining at 1932, and I chose "The Reign of 1900s King Monivong" tasting menu, which was nothing short of exquisite. Every dish beautifully complemented the next, and the historical theme was a wonderful touch. Chef Doeurt kindly introduced himself and his talented team in the kitchen, who must be applauded for crafting such a brilliant culinary journey. The service elevated the entire evening. A special thank you to Amra, who ensured we had an absolutely amazing overall experience, and to Socheata, who took care of our dining experience from start to finish. The attention to detail throughout the entire evening was excellent, and I cannot wait to return!
