Impressive colonial era luxury hotel
elegant room, friendly staff, historical interest
9
The Strand exceeded my high expectations and was well worth the cost. The hotel has an air of understated luxury and is an oasis of calm in downtown Yangon. The staff look after you well and respond quickly, positively and helpfully. The rooms are large and well equipped.

Excellent stay!
Heritage luxury, Welcoming staff
10
The Strand is very well located and close to restaurants and shops etc. We took a suite for our honeymoon and was pleasantly surprised by all the nice touches (sparkling wine, candlelight bath, etc) provided by the staff! The staff also had very good (English) language skills and were at hand immediately whenever assistance was required (the electricity went off in our room, and was fixed promptly). The hotel itself exuded a sense of heritage luxury, without being pompous. The bed was the most comfortable one we had experienced and the bathroom had a dressing table as well which was nice. We had dinner at the Strand Cafe and the food was great. However, we did find the service in the Cafe a little slow... we had to order breakfast from a menu (we had expected a buffet), and waited at least 25min for it to be served. Overall, we would still recommend this hotel!

It is not as I expected.
Centrally located, staff speak fluent English and clean
7.7
The staff was very polite and helpful. Although the hotel wasn't as I expected, it is centrally located. Breakfast was wonderful, but you may want to PRE order everything if you want it to arrive on time. Internet access is sporadic and service is slow.

luxury hotel in yangon, great service
high ceilings, huge rooms, comfortable interiors

furnishing for toilets could be better, service is good but not superb, counter staff could appear more genuine in their demeanours
overall good hotel but not worth the money

People say this is the hotel that you have to stay at or visit once you are in Yangon. After my two-day stay there, I think it's absolutely true! In fact, it's beyond my expectations. The room is very clean and artistically designed. The staff take care of the guests to every tiny detail. They serve and smile from the heart. And, the veggie omelet was the best that I ever had. Highly recommended!!
Only one minor thing: The tap/bath water was a little dirty. But, I think it may not be the hotel's fault.

Excellent stay in an iconic hotel
Attentive friendly service, elegant lobby and rooms, colonial style
8.7
At the end of a 4-weeks stay in Myanmar, I spent the last night in Yangon at the Strand. It fell nothing short of my high expectations, based on a previous stay at this hotel. Very friendly, efficient and helpful reception, as well as butler and room service. Exchange rate ($ to Kyats) much better at money changers than at the hotel.

A colonial jewel in Yangon
Service, food and location
9.3
If you are heading to Yangon for business or on holidays do yourself a favour and spend at least a few nights of your stay here.
After recently spending time at a number of the better hotels across Myanmar, it was very clear that The Strand was the only hotel that was truly world standard or in their case, arguably better.
We booked one of the Deluxe Suites and loved the experience. The room and bathroom was fantastic and provided direct access to the front balcony of the hotel. The suites allow you to experience the full colonial grandeur of a hotel that was once the sister hotel to the Raffles in Singapore. That experience includes a butler service was efficient and like all of the staff we dealt with helpful and friendly.
Another plus for this hotel was the first class food. Sadly not something I can say for any of the other Myanmar hotels we experienced.
On the negative side, customers expecting a pool or fitness centre in house will be disappointed as these were not available. However, we were advised that the hotel will make arrangements for guests to use facilities elsewhere in the city.
