best staff in the world. Very nice room and atmosphere. good food in restaurant
and open 24 hrs. Good location. Spotless hotel. Fair price, although may be high in comparison.Staff smoking on non-smoking floor near elevators. No internet 24-hrs, bad for USA citizens who need access late at night. This is my 5th visit at Trader's in Yangon. I find it competitive with Hyatt. Staff service makes it a very pleasant stay. The all night restaurant with excellent selections, although a little pricey, makes it really nice for late owls. Night life is close by and money chaning is easy. Taxi are always available and very cheap, but always set price before leaving. I would probably not stay at any other hotel.
Travel tip : market across street 1 block up has good exchange rates. Park Royal hotel within walking distance has good nightlife. Go to the Sabai Thai restaurant for excellent food and low cost.

Good security check point, very friendly staff. This is sure one of the top hotel's on the world. If you need any support, there are helpful. The hotel is very clean and there are much things you can use on the traders club. For myself I'm sure go back to this hotel, if I stay at Yangon.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Pagode, Disco (Tourist Style) different small restaurants.

Good facilities and very nice people warm welcome and good restaurant both breakfast and dinner. In the first day we had ants in the bathroom - call the duty manger and change the room. As said before, the hotel in General is good, the Gym and the facilities were very good. the people and the staff are very nice and the are doing all possible effort to support your needs.
i had the case of the ants in my room which was not pleasant and had the get reed of some of my medicine. they gave me one person dinner free as a results of this case. the breakfast and the dinner at the hotel were very good. the swimming pool is nice. we also found out that the price is high compare to other 5 stars hotel in the same area. we have visited other hotel who were very nice.
Travel tip : must visit the pagoda during the day and evening it is the same ticket for all the visiting the Pagoda

Very Central, very safe and excellent service. The staff are so subservient one feels embarrased. Part of the Shangri-la group and all that means. Surrounded by abject poverty and people living on $1 and day. The staff can not do enough for you and a tip of $1 gets you anything. Inhabited by 100's of NGO's long term with associated giant 4-wheel drives.in the car part. The chef tries hard but his raw material is not great so do not have high expectations. He does try. A good selection of cheese, imported is always available. Telephone/fax calls are exorbitant, $5-$10 per minute
Shopping Tip : Don't change your money in the hotel, go to money changers in Scott Market and count it well before you hand over your dollars. Have your main meal of the day at lunchtime as few if ay restaurants are open in he evening, if there is any electricity!

The main dining room is fantastic. All meals are buffet style which are very comprehensive. In June 2008 prices were breakfast US$10, lunch US$14 and dinner US$16. It is well worth paying a bit extra for a suite.
Hotel Feature Tip : They will offer you an upgrade to a Club room for $50 at the check-in counter.

Service service service is the hallmark at Traders. They don't disappoint, and are most willing to go that extra mile to be helpful.

Rangoon is a dreadful place at present due to the political situation which is outside the scope of this review.
You should stay in a property like Traders because it is very rough out there (although there is no crime at all and it's safe for travellers)

Good location, easy access to nearby eateries and shops. Rooms needed refurbishing, getting a little worn out. This being my second stay there, overall still satisfied as this is one of the better hotels available in Myanmar.

Noisy even though the location is central, convenient location for a high level of other hotels, is a radical departure from the conditions necessary to move the cab. Hairdryer and writing desk, free LAN, the country also has a rare telephone line, can reduce stress and make calls from inside. Buffet breakfast should further enhance the quality of each product. As the Japanese? "TERIYAKI" do not buy taste. Check-out should write. But the departure of the present condition of so many REITOCHEKKUAUTO flight that evening (and other paid and unpaid) should also. Before tax of 100 dollars, my home country of Japan is almost equal to the price of the hotel chain business check may have some resistance to paying for hotels in the country's inexpensive price. However, the hotel's breakfast room, lobby and lounge values, can assure you that there are three times more easily. DirtyPlace, as soon as the center TADORI着KI下RIRE down from there, AUNSANMAKETTO, together with SUREPAGODA five minutes of access to environmental sampling and I was feeling very good. But unlike the middle class than the other hotels, this hotel has created a different world inside and outside the hotel and clearly. HOTEI felt the environment. But unlike the middle class than the other hotels, this hotel has created a different world inside and outside the hotel and clearly. The hotels (outside the room) level can take a rest in slowly. Have enjoyed much, even at a loss because the charge is 300 U.S. dollars, enough to keep.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : It is the center of the city, this modern building just a block move can be exposed to local life. And shop at local stores and walk out to the dining room can get to five minutes. 5,6 SUREPAGODA even walk to the location is especially good, fast and efficiently

Conveniently located in the city center, breakfast buffet is ample choice Tourism is convenient for shopping because of the market near the city center. Walking to the market, many within walking distance of where to eat. Maintain the cleanliness of the room and facilities could comfortably spend. Buffet breakfast is also rich in the type of food cuisine.
