La Niche d'Angkor Boutique Hotel

Wonderful spot. This little hotel is a wonderfull spot in the Middle of Siem Reap. Very nice and helpfull staf. Quet and clean.

1) the Air Conditioning in the Hotel was not working to the mark making it very unbearable in the sizzling heat of Siem Reap 2) We could not leave the room doors open for fresh in the night due to mosquitos. 3) it seemed that the quality of maintenance and up-keep of this botique hotel is low life. Staff was polite but what use is politeness when the room does not cool with AC in the sizzling, stifling heat?

You get out if your transport and you go through an opening into Paradis! To me it is unique, the amazing large pool surrounded by beautiful well cared for tropical trees and bougainvillea. The rooms on all four sides of the pool area look lovely with either a pretty terrace or very large balcony and all large with a large bathroom and separate shower. At night the whole gardens and rooms are magic. Gentle sounds of frogs in the small pools , all stunningly light up with orange hues. Easy walking to all that Siem Reap offers, from shops, bars restaurants and more. Tuk tuks are just outside and you can rely on the staff to help hire one. Hire a car for the day to visit Angkor wat, I had a super knowledgeable driver called So Pheap who originated from Angkor area. He was really helpful and painted a super true picture of Angkor. The young team at La niche are so helpful, nothing is to difficult, they maintain the gardens and do the rooms to an extremely high standard. Restaurant is also excellent and a good variety of authentic Khmer cooking as well as western tastes. Large variety of dishes ranging from eggs bacon pastries to Asian dishes. A must to visit, I am going back early next year.

Great place and good swimming breakfast is a nice Continental breakfast

Really enjoyed our four night stay at this little oasis. Staff so friendly and helpful. Nice breakfast including egg/pancake station. Pool is the absolute best! Super clean and nice big size and surrounded by tropical greenery. Green tinge is due to colour of tiles and stone making it feel like you are swimming in a tropical pond. Lots of beds and umbrellas + towels provided. Great for post temple recovery and cool down. Great area, very quick walk (faster than expected) to river/markets/pub street. Or stay local with some lovely cafes and cheap eats. We stayed on both sides of the river in Siem Reap and enjoyed this area more than the busy side. Rooms and property are beginning to look a little tired in places but this did not concern us as it was very clean and well maintained. Great sized bathroom with nice polished concrete decor. Our family connecting room was a little dark as only partially facing the pool. Majority of rooms face the pool without obstruction.

Lovely little hotel with the most delightful pool. We enjoyed that each day after visiting temples and countryside. We would arrive back so hot and sweaty and the pool refreshed us each day. Relaxing. Some of the photos show it here as blue, but it was a beautiful clear green when we were there and blended so nicely with the area. The daily breakfast were yummy offering local cuisine as well as eggs and bacon. I loved their little "pancakes" with jam! Our king size room was just right for us. Bed and pillows were comfy. My only complaint would be the dim lighting in the bathroom and no plug-in for my curling iron. (I had to do that at the desk by the bed.) and also the lack of washcloths. We asked for them and they just brought us more hand-towel size towels. But this was also a thing at another Thailand hotel, so it must just be different than at home. :) (not a big deal) It was about 8-10 blocks from Pub Street and the street markets where we ate most our evening meals, and shopped for shirts and trinkets (respectively). Some nights we walked it, some we took a tuk-tuk which were cheap and always available. All the Cambodian people (staff, restaurant workers, tuk-tuk- drivers, our guide, and sellers at the market) were pleasant and were able to communicate in English well enough. (some better than others, but we were able to understand) If you're going to Angkor Wat and/or other temples, I would recommend getting a private guide. Ours and his driver were amazing, and stopped a few times just to show us something up close that we were questioning. Don't be afraid to eat the street food. We ate "meats on sticks" and fresh fruit. The Angkor beer was good.. tasted like basic American beer- which for me was a good thing. :) Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable.
