EnquireFCC Angkor is an atmospheric boutique hotel in the centre of popular Siem Reap, northwest Cambodia. Built in the 1960s, the Foreign Correspondents Club or FCC was formerly the French Governor’s residence, and is ideally located for the renowned Angkor temple complex and the UNESCO world heritage site of Angkor Wat. This riverside hotel offers 31 contemporary rooms and suites, an elegant restaurant and bar, a relaxing spa and a swimming pool, all surrounded by pretty tropical gardens.
The hotel restaurant offers Cambodian and international cuisine, and is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Meals can be enjoyed in the airy, colonial-style dining room, or alfresco on the terrace, which has views of the river and buzzing Siem Reap. The leafy gardens boast an inviting salt water swimming pool surrounded by loungers. The hotel bar is a popular spot for sundowners, whilst the onsite spa offers massages and beauty treatments, along with a sauna and Jacuzzi. With Siem Reap’s shops, bars, and popular old market area only a short walk away, the hotel's location is excellent.
Accommodation comprises 31 contemporary rooms and suites, each named after herbs and spices, such as lemongrass, ginger, and cardamom, and featuring a combination of neutral décor and colourful artwork.

Each room has a king size or twin beds, and a spacious ensuite bathroom with bath and shower, basin, and WC. All units come with air conditioning, satellite TV, DVD player, minibar, and Wi-Fi.

I was also just about to email you to thank you and the team for arranging yet again, another wonderful experience.
Mount Kenya was spectacular and wild - I think I prefer it to Kili in many ways. The entire support team was professional, friendly and all round fantastic in making sure that we were safe, well fed and well looked after. In particular, we would commend Peter the guide as well as Paul one of the porters who doubled-up as his deputy on summit day. Our route was often shrouded in mist and rain that rapidly gathered in the valleys and moorlands, and we were very impressed at how Peter managed to navigate us safely through all of that notwithstanding. In addition, we loved learning about the history of Mount Kenya from him in the evenings. And ofcourse, I was blown away by the lovely birthday surprise at the end complete with balloons and a delicious cake that had journeyed with us from day 1. One thing we might recommend because of the sudden change in weather (it would sometimes get extremely cold and wet) is for the equipment list to be a little bit more detailed in terms of its recommendations e.g. layers to be moisture-wicking, walking boots be waterproof, doubling up on socks to avoid blisters etc.
El Karama is a beautiful conservancy and the lodge a true labour of love. Great hospitality in a relaxed environment. Delicious, fresh food. We enjoyed the drives, even if we didn't see much wildlife as the heavens opened on us for the last two outings. However, since it was very much geared towards families, I am not sure if I would stay again without kids. That said, I think it was perfect for a 3d/2n stay post mountain, and a much better choice than flying to the masai mara given the limited time we had.
Our transits were smooth. Samuel the driver was always on time, drove safely and kept the vehicle clean.
So it was a brilliant experience and one which I certainly will cherish for some time to come. It was great to work with you for a third time, and I certainly hope it won't be the last

Thank you, we had an absolute wonderful time, and everything was well-planned and as described. Carla was crying on the day of our departure from Ants Nest, she didn’t want to go home and for it all to end, and when I asked how much longer she would want to stay, she responded “four weeks”

We had the most amazing time. It exceeded all my hopes of what the trip would be. The guides, the hotels - everything was of such a wonderful quality. Thank you for organizing everything. I will absolutely recommend Tourdust and use you again.
