Small hotel, very run down, in grotty part of Mandalay. First room offered was dirty but after complain we were upgraded to nicer room in small back garden. Noisy from adjacent road but quiet at night. Aircon was needed and worked well. Good restaurant in hotel where we ate each night rather than qrisk walking or cycling to another place.

The rooms look old fashioned, but the superior ones are quite pleasant and comfortable. The bathrooms, though, are functional but in need of refurbishment. The restaurant is not particularly attractive but the food portions are generous, the quality okay and the staff good. The breakfast choice is limited but the food is acceptable The room we had which backed onto... More

Rooms are bungalow-style, a nice seating area in front of it. Indeed a bit run down, especially the bathroom. Staff is friendly and helpful, especially the breakfast personnel. Walking distance to the east side of the moat of the palace but the streets are unlit and when your first walk is at night pay attention not to get lost. Near... More

I think Emerald Land Inn is probably the best midrange hotel available in Mandalay where such accommodation is sorely lacking, but it definitely has room to improve. The hotel feels old, particularly the bathroom, though water pressure and temperature were fine. There were a lot of mosquitoes in general, even in the room, probably because of the pool and the...

My flight was delayed, so it was dark by the time I arrived here. I wanted to go into town to catch a show... More

Had a garden cottage for 6 nights in this quiet area. Very friendly staff, good breakfast ( the bread basket is massive, the juice fresh) in the restaurant. You will need transport to get downtown - they can call a "blue taxi"but the rates WILL vary depending on the driver; the hotel cannot control this. First driver was 2000 kyat,... More

Try to negotiate for the superdeluxe room for a normal tariff and you have excellent value

After a rough 10 hour public bus trip from Bagan to Mandalay we were keen to avoid a budget hotel & spend a little bit more for some R&R. The Emerald Land Inn is a decent enough hotel that certainly tries hard to meet tourist standards since they were charging an arm & a leg. Without a reservation we decided... More

I was very happy in this hotel. The breakfast was more than adequate - I had no complaints. Quite a haven to come back to in the evening. Good hot showers - air-con worked - very comfy bed - slept like a baby! I would stay there again but, was not very struck on Mandalay so do not expect to... More
