The environment of hotel is comfortable and relaxing. Smiling faces of staff are very impressive. Staff are helpful, informative and professional, warm and friendly. I don't feel lonely even I am travelling alone. It is expensive but price is good for value in this retreat. You will not regret. Location is good, within quiet Embassy Quarters but in a walking...

Spent two nights here in May at the end of the trip to "spoil myself" a bit. First of all the hotel is difficult to find... kind of a non-descript two story building in the embassy district. Taxi drivers had a difficult time finding it in the dark. Was informed there is no Fitness center (which is entirely unacceptable for... More

After a 2 day conference in the uninspiring Yangon Parkroyal, I was so glad I had booked myself into Governors Residence for an indulgent weekend escape. This was a serene base from which to spend 2 days exploring Yangon. It truly feels like you step into the magnificent garden and leave the chaos of a developing city behind. Its small... More

While I have been to other more luxurious hotels/resorts, this place was, overall, definitely one of the best to relax. The facilities were clean and the staff was very accomodating. I and My wife especially enjoyed the pool that was open 24 hours - it was warm during the night. Far more than we had expected!

We stayed here 2 nights booked via My Way Travel agent. It was relaxing, the gardens, rooms, restaurants, pool were lovely. I think it's best hotel in Myanmar. We loved hotel! Will Come back next year!

We stayed there during the Water Festival. We greatly appreciated being away from the noise of the festivities and yet could feel the cheerful atmosphere in the hotel with the daily celebration organised for the staff. The rooms are awesome, well-equipped, everything is thought to make you feel comfortable. Extremely clean and spacious with a wonderful view on a lotus... More

Everything about the Governor`s Residence expresses quality. From reception to leaving, service is of the highest possible quality. Breakfast, lunch or dinner taken on the veranda are all enjoyable and indeed memorable. The gardens are a delight. Bedroom and bathrooms are spacious and have great character (though the bathrooms are now a little tired). Book early to avoid missing this... More
