“She's the best!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 May 2013 NEW

EdK16 The hotel has plenty of friendly, helpful people but none more so than Nang Ohnmar Khin. She patiently explained my hotel charges when I checked in. Then several times she helped me figure out street addresses in the city and how long it would take for me to make my appointments. When the a/c in my room was on... More

“Nice hotel by the lake”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 May 2013 NEW

I stayed 3 days at this hotel from 18-21 May 2013. My room was at the fourth floor and facing the lake. The front desk staff are ever willing to help and most of the staff I met during my visit are very polite. I like the finishig of the room with heavy usage of teak wood. The buffet spread... More

“A Good Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 May 2013 NEW

I stayed ten days at the Kandawgyi Palace while working in Yangon. The hotel is well located, within walking distance of Shwedagon Pagoda and the Zoo, and a short taxi ride to the old downtown area with some good local restaurants (recommend Monsoon but try some of the old traditional eating places, where the food is tasty and cheap) and...

“Avery good hotel on the lake”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 May 2013

A very good place, humidity can be a problem for the rooms at the lower level with a terrace on the garden. The place is big, so you may find some package tours. But the pool by the lake has an amazing view. I recommend to wake up early to enjoy the the view of the sun rising. Rooms are... More

“A nice place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 May 2013 via mobile

The guest room I got is facing the lake with very nice view while my friend got car park view so ask for the lake view when booking. Breakfast is good. It's the best among the same price. It's extremely expensive in Yangon anyway comparing to hotels in Bangkok. With this price you can get 5-Star.

Stayed here twice on biz, once in late Jan and once in early Apr. Rooms were not bad but the lock didn't work on the second stay. You could see that they fixed the door with some sort of card board. The latch was also very stiff, had to pry it apart to open the door. Room was decent. Wifi... More

“Hotel Location is the Best Feature”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 April 2013

This beautiful teak hotel has had several incarations, once even being a museum, hence the dinosaur on the property. Used largely by business people and large tour groups, the independent traveller can get lost in the shuffle, especially at the copious breakfast buffet. We could not find seating in the breakfast room and didn't mind sitting outside until the ravens... More

“Too many pretensions”

In March 2013 we stayed two days in this hotel. I would not recommend this hotel. They have much pretentions: they act like they are afive star hotel but in my opinion it isn't. For instants the swimming pool: the water was milky instead of clear. I think this was because they didn't circulate the water. The pool is old... More

“As fancy as it gets in SE Asia”

Beautiful property located on a park and a lake in the middle of the city. It was previously a British officers club during the colonial times, and had another incarnation as a museum. So a very historical place, and it feels like it. The service was a bit odd though, kind of formal and unnatural, which seems to be the... More
