The Angkor branch of the FCC Phnom Penh has 29 terrific rooms and two suites, fitted out with all the mod cons. With their bright, glass fronted designs, specify you'd like an upstairs room if you value your privacy. This is not the place for you if you want traditional Khmer and lots of dark wood. If you like your hotel rooms modern, bright, stylish, and spotless, look no further. Facilities include complimentary internet, flat screen TVs and bathrooms with steaming hot showers. A lovely, well-shaded saltwater swimming pool sits as the centre of a lawn area and the full-service spa, while pricey, gets rave reviews. There's also a Jacuzzi, a billiard room, and of course a large restaurant in the adjacent building open to the public. Breakfast is included in the price, which had been lowered as of May 2009. Their online reservations system is infuriating in that it's nigh on impossible to get a room price without emailing them directly or making a reservation! It's a former French governor's mansion, and the simple, mid-century colonial design is subtly opulent. The design is slightly reminiscent of nearby five-star Amansara hotel, formerly the king's mansion.

Very nice - 24th February, 2008
Now qite expensive compared to a few years ago when it first opened, but rooms are nice (pool is very cold) and the spaoffers excellent if expensive services.

Worthwhile stretch of the budget - 20th February, 2007
If all you want/need is a room to sleep, then FCC probably isn't the place for you. If, however, apres Angkor such as drinks while in the pool and general lounging about are desired, then FCC would be an excellent choice. Pricey for Siem Reap, but comfortable and clean. We loved our poolside rooms. No complaints, had a pleasant stay.
