We were deciding whether to stay here vs. the Strand or Governor's Residence. We wanted a pool and it's significantly cheaper than Governor's, so we booked at Savoy Hotel. When we arrived, we discovered that the pool was closed for a week. We felt deceived because it's clearly the main feature that they promote on their website, and we had... More

We stayed at this hotel for a total of three nights, one at the beginning of our trip and two at the end. The location was fine for us and the hotel functional and comfortable and the staff pleasant and accommodating. The rooms were quite dated and the lighting poor, however this is a problem that we encountered everywhere we... More

I've never even written a hotel review before, but our experience here was so bad that I felt the need to as a public service! Following check-in, the first room we were taken to had so much MOLD in the bathtub/shower that we asked to be moved to another room. I even took a photo, which I've uploaded, since I... More

Stayed here for one night. Can tell it used to be a nice hotel. Unfortunately, without well ain and management, rooms became seriously damaged and annoying. Location is convinient, bar and lounge is nice. Staff needs to be trained. Better somewhere else if you care about cleanliness and refined ambiance. English is well spoken here.The restaurant next door called Sharky... More

Straight from central casting, the Savoy Hotel is just what you would imagine a colonial Rangoon hotel from 80 years ago to be – slightly spooky, partly faded, just functional enough and very atmospheric. The rooms are large and quiet and the pool area is a great little sanctuary. The staff is generally helpful. Although decent now, the place is... More

Lots of previous reviews explain how the Savoy gives a piece of colonial grandour to the tourist at a more reasonable price that the Strand. I would echo that fact. It is not a modern hotel however is not 'past its best' either. It provides a degree of comfort without being 'stuffy' or over the top. We stayed in 3... More

We stayed here 6 years ago and returned again this year. During our tour of Myanmar we stayed on arrival and on the day before we left and each stay was lovely. They kept our luggage for us while we were away,called taxis and are sure we paid a fair price for our trip and nothing was too much trouble.In... More

We arrived late afternoon in this hotel, we booked for 1 night, knowing also that we had an early flight next day. The hotel is indeed built in colonial style and gives also this impression when checking in, we got a suite, but where a bit disappointed by it, the bathroom could use a revamp and the rest of the...

Loved it!! Yes the bathrooms needs some work doing on them as the tiles have seen better days but besides that I can't find anything to moan about! Lovely charming old colonial hotel with very friendly staff. Nice peaceful swimming pool too just the thing to relax by after a long haul flight! It might be by the side of... More
