Hotel 4-Star di Mandalay, Myanmar

Don't expect anything from the local Five Star News. The hotel's facilities and decoration are similar to those of ordinary hotels. When checking in, the floor is not air-conditioned and it is very stuffy. The check-in process is also a long time and it feels that the management is chaotic. The breakfast is hardly delicious. The only thing that is commendable is that the high-rise view is very good, overlooking the city, after all, it is almost the tallest building in Mandalay.

Location, amazing. Ambiance, great. While the service and staff are excellent, but sadly the place is under maintenance. Perhaps it was because of significant reduction of guests in Bagan. Breakfast was good. Room services was good. The hotel graciously allowed us to check in early, but I found that the toilet and towels were not cleaned properly. I alerted the front desk and they immediately cleaned the room. Another issue related to the toilet was the permanent stain on the wall and floor, and also the very low water pressure. For that price and the cleanliness, I got a bit frustrated.

The hotel is halfway up the mountain and the environment is beautiful. If the weather is good, you can see the temples on the opposite side of Mount Boba and the top of the mountain. It was raining on the day we went, the fog was very big, the mountain wind was also very big, and there was a terrible atmosphere. I suggest that you must choose the room type above the suite, because I personally experienced it, the ordinary room can not live, the area is small, wet, and the waiter brought the heater in early September! The bathroom is also cramped, in short, the experience is not good. The suites with mountain views are the best, and you can see the opposite of Mount Boba on your balcony.

Location is the king. You can walk from the hotel to most places in old bagan. Hotel is just beautiful, gardens are eye candy. Cleanliness is questionable, I guess because throwing things on the floor is just normal in cultural way, as well as dust and spider webs are just part of the nature :) Food is 10-40k, a bit more expensive then average. Massage is good, 30/40k for 1/1.5 hours. Staff is unbelievable friendly and helpful!, they can easily forget something, but would try their best to help you.

The location of the hotel is very successful: we walked to the Royal Palace and looked at all the other sights. Well, when we hired a tuck-tuck to go around the suburbs, it is largely no matter where you are taken from. Around the mass of textile shops, many snacks, on the next street a large fruit shop, in addition, on the next street there were several trucks that traded durian at a throw price (compared to Thailand). There are COCO and AEON drogeries in step-by-step access, where at a fairly low price you can buy both noodles/rice, and a variety of fruits and local specialties. At the same time the place is quite quiet, we were comfortable in the room. The average size room, cozy, there is air conditioner, teapot, safe. Every day they put the cooker, coffee, but for some reason they don't put the spoons in the bathroom, although the box under them is standing. Cleaning and changing towels every day, the lingerie changed every 2 days. The only thing I can do is that the waitresses are not very attentive, the bathroom ended soap and gel, and since they did not check the capacity, it was necessary to kick. In one day came at 16 - the room was not removed, too. For some reason there is no ”do not disturb” plate and the next morning to us the room broke into the room, it is good that we were both in the bathroom and the door was closed on the chain. In the evening in 20.00 turn off the light, exactly for a couple of minutes, then turn on. Very weak inno. Warned that on the last day it would be early to leave - cooked lunch boxing and even water didn't forget. Helped with ordering tuck-tuck for the day we planned to watch the old capitals, negotiated with tuck-tucker. Very nice and friendly.

We stayed one night there the room is cleaning but the bathroom is was cleaning,location is great and service is good .

A good hotel. Comfortable rooms, fast internet, a buffet breakfast, and mostly local Asian food. There aren't many restaurants in the area, but the hotel itself has a bar-restaurant with an outdoor terrace and live music. The food is inexpensive and delicious. You can book a taxi around Mandalay and tickets to Bagan at reception. We were booked for a minivan and told there weren't any big buses to Bagan, but that's not true; at least the JJ bus company covers that route.

Great hotel! A historic Bagan hotel Breakfast selection! The service staff is kind and courteous!

I only stayed 1 night at this hotel but it’s absolutely wonderful. Unlike most hotels in SE Asia the beds here are so comfortable and not rock hard. The shower was great, the water is hot and the pressure is perfect. Breakfast is 5/5 because there’s such a wonderful variety. They had fresh pastries and an actual omelette station. Another highlight of this hotel is the rooftop. There’s an infinity pool and a bar. It was nice to NOT have to scream across the table to chat with my fiancé because the atmosphere/ambiance is perfect. Nice light music and a very chill place to be. I highly recommend this hotel.

Overall good but the hotel conditions as overall quite old.
