This hotel has everything you need and the convenience of paying for tuk tuk rides and transportation to the airport on your hotel tab. It’s a great place to stay or just relax. Try the massages there, they are wonderful.

Will not book here again

Staff did not believe I had two reservations and I spent so much time during the stay proving I had two rooms booked. Staff even approached me during breakfast to discuss adding charges because they could not get in contact with hotels.com staff to confirm my bookings. Ater in rooms stopped working and hotel staff addressed it right away. TV in one room broke down and hotel staff stated we needed to wait until next day for it to be fixed or replaced. We ended up checking out a day early because we were so uncomfortable staying there; did not feel welcomed.

Starting to need maintenance

While there were some good points to the hotel unfortunately there were some items and issues that have led to this negative review. These include ... the floors in the room whilst being cleaned on the surface need to be thoroughly scrubbed as they feel and look dirty underfoot . Bathroom floors have built up grime that should be removed and the wooden shower mat is extremely slippery when wet. We were overcharged for our laundry and when questioned the staff didn't act upon the issue they blamed the laundry and wiped their hands of the matter which is not an adequate response as it their referred contractor. While the pool was a beautiful asset situated in the centre of the complex it was green for the first 2 days and so we were unable to use it, this was resolved and was a great reprieve on a hot day.

Lovely hotel and professional staff

The hotel is very nice: spacious room, comfy bed, fridge, tea and coffee in the room, bathroom with separated shower and bathtub, balcony overlooking the pool.
The pool is big. You can order drinks and food and they take it to the pool. There is a happy hour of smoothies and cocktails.
The staff are great, always ready to help.
We did the tours with the tuk tuks they offered and it went very well. Mr. Deth was our tuk tuk driver who took us to do the ruins for USD 15 per day. He was very attentive.
The only drawback of this hotel is that the location is not very good. You cannot walk to the city centre and have to take a tuk tuk. Most tuk tuks do not know the hotel so it is inconvenient for when you have to return from the city centre to the hotel.

Tricky map

Once inside the hotel grounds everything is great. Beautiful gardens and pool, good breakfast, helpful staff. Location was a problem. All maps indicate the hotel is easy walking distance to the central town, not so. The hotel is at the end of a long, dusty dirt lane and not an easy walk, particularly at night. Fortunately there are plenty of tuk tuks.

Comfortable hotel in a garden setting.

Large modern style room opening to garden patio leading to swimming pool. Hotel property is quiet and overall a pleasant area. Room clean and well maintained. Buffet breakfast has an adequate range. We would happily stay here again.
The hotel is located a fair distance from the centre of Siem Reap so travel by tuk tuk is recommended, though very cheap. There are a number of mosquitoes around the hotel making insect repellent necessary

Quiter neighborhood and heavy landscaping

Positives: room is spacious and nicely decorated for price; large pool; nice setting with heavy planting; good restaurant; ok breakfast; staff is friendly and try to be helpful; quieter neighborhood if that is what you want.

Negatives: property is hard to find even after tuk tuk driver asked for directions at the other location; not very close to Pub Street and Night Market, but a $2 ride by tuk tuk; first room we were given on the lower floor had too many mosquitos and we asked to move to an upper floor; stayed there for a couple of hours and noticed that the ac stopped working; moved to another room that was ok but still had a few mosquitor bites that night.

Fabulous retreat from busy Phnom Penh

Our last stop in SE Asia and couldn't have been more perfect. Beautiful room with small verandah leading directly to the medium size warm and very clean pool. Short tuk tuk to town, but worth it for the peace and quiet. You could walk it as well...
Staff incredibly nice and helpful.

Little oasis

A very welcoming boutique hotel with good size rooms facing the pool. Lovely planting of orchids and palm trees around the pool. If you take a ground floor room you can literally jump in to cool down on a hot day! Enjoyable breakfast with both local and western style to suit all tastes. Owner and staff are very hospitable.

A really great place to stay in Siem Reap. The hotel is close enough to the downtown/market areas to walk, but far enough away not to have to endure the all-night crowds and music. The unassuming exterior opens up to a wonderful oasis within. GREAT staff--very kind, efficient, and helpful. The pool was wonderful, too--especially after long, hot days at Angkor Wat.

Disapointed

Not as advertised. The room door was broken & would not close or lock, one day there was no electric or water. Location was terrible. Construction outside & had to cross a small wooden bridge to there (in or out). No transportation nearby, had to walk at least 10 mins to find some. Food was poor. Basically have two properties & the Villas are the second one that is not advertised & they will move you there without notice. The staff was polite & tried to help. Choose another location.

Don't be put off by the road!

The hotel itself is beautiful and the staff couldn't be more helpful, but the road leading to the Villas is very unfinished as the government have stopped current construction on it. This lead to a bit of anxiety on arrival as it was night time, but in daylight it was it was fine. Be wary that you're not booking the Boutique Hotel itself but it's new property, the 'Villas'. Neither far from town, but a tuktuk ride at night.

Visitor from Hong Kong

Unexpected experience..

First of all, I'm not sure whether my review is applicable here, because unexpectedly, I did not stay in the hotel I booked and paid for... On my arrival day, the weather was terrible and I was picked up in a \"closed curtain\" tuk-tuk (arranged through the hotel) and I had no idea where it took me to. When I arrived, I noticed something wrong, because the door reads \"La Niche D'angkor Boutique\". Wait a second, ain't I supposed to be taken to La Niche D'angkor Villa instead of Boutique? I was told that the Villa was temporarily closed due to road blockage. While I had doubt but could not verify whether I was told the truth, I do think the hotel should inform their guests about this condition upfront, rather than hiding this and taking their guests to a location where they do not expect. I really had a feeling of being cheated. But, anyway, don't get me wrong, the stay (P.S. in Boutique) was a pleasant one, good location, the room was comfy, despite a bit old and not very clean, the pool was magnificent and the staff were really really helpful.

町外れの静かなホテル

小さいホテルですが、小さくてもプールあり、スパあり、レストランあり、部屋も広くバスタブもあり、ホテル内で困る事はありませんでした。近隣は住宅地なので夜は静かですが、深夜の一人歩きは少し怖いかもです。コストを考えると最高のコストパフォーマンスのホテルです。次回も、ぜひ、このホテルを利用しようと思います。

Ruhe-Ort

Wir haben das \"Wat Bo\" ausgewählt da wir dort in der ruhigen Anlage mit Pool nach den anstrengenende Tempelbesichtigungen noch etwas entspannen konnten, und trotzdem nicht auf eine Transportmöglichkeit angewiesen waren um mal ins Zentrum zu laufen.

Die ganze Anlage hat sehr viel Grün, und macht einen sehr schön entspannten Eindruck. Die Ausflüge kann man besser mit einem TukTuk-Fahrer auf der Straße ausmachen, das Hotel wollte uns die dort normalerweise üblichen Touren etwas beschränken.

Hotel convivial et incontournable.

Absolument parfait. De l'accueil chaleureux avec jus de fruit, au personnel attentionné au petit déjeuner qui connait parfaitement vos gouts au bout de quelques nuits, du service de pressing, billetterie, réservation de restaurants, prêt d'argent pour payer un tuk-tuk parce que vous n'avez pas de monnaie. Avec le sourire, le personnel prend vraiment soin de vous, et la sincérité de vous faire plaisir se lient sur leurs visages. Inutile de dire que les chambres et le cadre sont magnifiques. Un point positif important et la petite taille de l'hôtel qui reste a échelle humaine. Nous avons meme réservé une nuit de plus pour le retour qui n'était pas prévue. Sur 6 semaines, c'est le meilleur hôtel que nous avons fait. Beaucoup d'hôtels sont biens au Cambodge, mais celui la est incontournable !

Hôtel de charme au personnel adorable.

Nous y avons sejourné en famille. L'accueil depuis l'aéroport, notre arrivée à l'hôtel même, la prise en charge pour les visites d'Angkor, tout nous a plu ! Bien sur certain dirait qu'il y avait des lenteurs, mais pendant les vacances, ce n'est pas bien grave ! Le personnel est attentif sans être envahissant, les tarifs et qualités des massages sur place valent le temps de vous y intéresser. La cuisine est bonne et variée, le petit-déjeuner aussi. Les excursions peuvent être organisees depuis l'hôtel. Les prix grimpent vite mais sont dans la moyenne des prix pratiqués. Étudiez-bien ce que vous voulez-faire avant votre arrivée ! Je vous recommande de débuter par le musée avec un audio-guide. Ensuite, vous saurez mieux ce que vous voulez aller voir sur le terrain. Journée de tuk-tuk 15 dollars ou en voiture 40 pour les circuits des temples uniquement. Tout le reste est tarifé dans le détail. Mr Sideth notre chauffeur etait vraiment sympathique et chaleureux.

Idyllisch mit großem Pool u. freundlichem Personal

Das La Niche D'Angkor können wir nur empfehlen. Wir waren eine Gruppe von vier Reisenden und wir haben dort drei Zimmer gebucht. Der Pool ist wunderbar groß, es ist viel Platz (da weniger Zimmer als Niche Boutique) und es ist ruhig. Die Zimmer waren sauber und ordentlich und wirklich sehr! geräumig. Alle Zimmer haben Blick auf den Pool. Die Anlage ist toll begrünt und wird sehr gut gepflegt. Das Frühstück war spitze. Sogar nach unserem Frühbesuch von Angkor bekamen wir noch etwas zu essen. Das Einzig Verbesserungswürdige ist das Englisch des Personals. So konnten wir dem Personal an einem Tag schwer vermitteln, dass die Handtücher in allen Zimmern komplett vergessen wurden.
Aber alles in allem sehr empfehlenswert!

Ein Kleinod abseits des Trubels

Es passte alles: Zimmer, Service und Ruhe. Da das Hotel etwas außerhalb der lebendigen Innenstadt lag, war es sehr ruhig. Die Innenstadt erreichte man zu Fuß in 10 - 15 Minuten, mit dem Tuktuk für 1 Dollar in 5 Minuten.
Der kostenlose Flughafen pick up klappte reibungslos. Die Organisation des Ausfluges nach Angkor Wat war gut.
Absolut empfehlenswert!

Маленький кусочек рая.

Отель трудно было бы найти в городе, но они встречают в аэропорту и предоставляют бесплатный тук-тук, если заранее попросить. С другой стороны удаленность отеля от шумных улиц - плюс. Отель небольшой и в этом его прелесть. Как маленький кусочек рая, при этом неожиданно большой бассейн. Все что касается обслуживания и отношения к клиентам все на отлично! Если придется когда-нибудь вернуться, то это будет этот отель.

Un petit havre de paix

Lorsque l'on pénètre dans l'hôtel par une petite rue tranquille, on se retrouve dans un lieu exquis, joli, fleuri(orchidées partout), organisé autour d'une très belle piscine.
Calme, sérénité, beauté, gentillesse du personnel: rien à redire !!
Un moment de détente après une journée sur les sites. Et le centre (marché), avec des petits restos est à 2mn en tuk-tuk...
PD et repas très bons.
Nous sommes restés 5 jours pour notre grand plaisir et nous recommandons vivement cet hôtel( à ne pas confondre avec \"la niche d'Angkor boutique\" du même propriétaire, mais en moins bien)

Eine Oase im Touristentrubel

Wir (Ende 20) haben zwei Nächte im La Niche gebucht. Tuktuk -Abholung vom Flughafen war gratis, zurück 5$. Kann man alles entspannt vorher per Email klären. Sehr nettes Hotelpersonal, das uns direkt mit Namen angesprochen und willkommen geheißen hat. Das Hotel ist sehr klein und persönlich. Was wir toll fanden, war die üppige Bepflanzung der Anlage sowie den überdurchschnittlich großen Pool in der Mitte des Hotels. Einziger Minuspunkt: das Hotel ist etwas ab vom Schuss. Die letzten 500m des Weges sind nicht beleuchtet, aber mit Tuktuks ist das alles kein Problem. Der Transfer zwischen Hotel und Old Market/Pub Street kostete nur 1$.

캄보디아의 특성을 느낄 수 있는 숙소입니다. 스텝들 모두 친절하고 아침뷔페도 만족할 만한 수준이었어요. 방이 큼직하고, 샤워시설이 욕실과 같은 크기의 별도공간으로 마련되어 있어 쾌적하게 지내다 왔습니다. 중심가와는 멀지만 어차피 툭툭을 타고 다니기 때문에 별로 불편하지 않았습니다. 다만 방문을 열쇠로 여는데 번번이 잘 열리지 않아 스텝을 부르고했기 때문에 시설점검이 필요할 듯합니다.
