Myanmar hotels & accommodations
I traveled to Myanmar with my family. We stayed in Yangon for 2 nights, flew out to Bagan, then came back to spend one more night in Yangon. Both times we stayed in Yangon, we stayed at Esperado Lake View Hotel. The hotel is nicely located, easily accessible to taxis where for about $2 you can get to downtown. The rooms were very nice - newly renovated with modern...
This was the first hotel we stayed in during our trip to Myanmar and it was wonderful! It is a new hotel, very modern, with clean spacious rooms, a fantastic exercise room, and a huge pool and bar. From our room, we could see the Schwedagon pagoda and skyline of Yangon. Breakfasts were delicious with a large selection of various foods, both Asian and Western. The sta...
Sedona Yangon is home away home. I can vouch that no other hotel in Myanmar can beat the superb Hospitality of Sedona. The staff is so cordial & warmth that they will think of solutions for you at a personal level. i have never experienced a NO during my last 11 years of continuous stay in Sedona. GM Mr Mok is personally involved in taking care of individual customers ...

This is the best hotel in Myanmar. The staff are super professional and polite. 6 star at 4 star prices
After staying in 3 different hotels in Myanmar, we'd have to say Ta Win Garden Hotel in Yangon was far the best experience we had. The rooms were huge and the showers had good water pressure and hot enough during winter months when we were there. There was hardly any noise in the night and we had a very good night sleep. The breakfast selection was huge and very impres...
We stayed here for two nights after the long flights from the UK as it was close to the airport (10/15 mins) and we just needed somewhere to recharge our batteries before touring Myanmar. The hotel is a stunning new building (opened Sept last year) offering a true 5* experience set alongside the lake with glorious views towards Yangon. It has everything you’d wish from...
The Rose Garden Hotel is conveniently located within walking distance to several sights, such as the Shwedagon Pagoda, the Kandawgyi Lake, the main railway station and downtown Yangon. My room was nicely aquatinted featuring traditional Burmese culture and styles and it had all amenities one could expect from a five star hotel. I particularly liked the small bouquet ...
This was my 7th visit to Myanmar, but my first stay at this hotel. It is a 5 star hotel on the edge of the CBD (it takes about 15 minutes to walk to the CBD). The hotel is of high standard: great breakfast, a nice swimming pool, a lady playing classical Burmese harp in the lobby every second evening, a good room. Like many Myanmar hotels, a bit over-priced for the stan...
We stayed at 3 different hotels during our 4-day trip in Myanmar. Hotel G is very well designed and nice to stay at. The only frustration is we think the hospitality is not up to standard. Check-in was pleasant and welcoming and that's pretty much it. We booked a room for three, and only two sets of amenities were provided. Breakfast selection was poor and the service ...
This is my first time in Myanmar and my very first hotel stay in Bagan. I must say I’m very delighted and satisfied with the top notch service and best experience I had here at Ananda Bagan Hotel. Upon completion of booking with Agoda, they provide confirmation of booking promptly in less than 20 mins. Not only that, they also response in reasonable time on my followin...
Very happy with my short stay at the Summit Parkview Hotel. It is a "Guest Friendly" hotel, with an additional US$15 charge, but I understand all high class Myanmar hotels charge about the same so no complaints. I will make this hotel my first choice when I return to Yangon.
Staff at front desk (Myint myint mo,Er.ic,David)helpful, bell boys Sithu, Nyein Chan, Jack lin thet maung,William) have been marvellous. Thanks also to domestic staff who. responds to our needs promptly. The room that was initialy given face constrution site but was compensated by higher floor on our initial stay. Hotel offered us shwedagon pagoda view when retuirned f...
The rooms were nice and clean. The staff were super helpful. The air conditioner and fridge were the best in our Myanmar trip. The staff had already turned it on to welcome us when we entered the room. It was very nice coming back to the room after a trip in Yangon. Location was great to go anywhere such as the pagoda and China town. It was a good walk. Breakfast was m...
Clover City Center Plus was one of the best hotels I've stayed at in Myanmar. It's not much to look at from the outside, but the interior of the hotel is designed well and the rooms are comfortable and spacious. Wi-fi nternet also works quite well, which is definitely a bonus in Myanmar, and breakfast was definitely above average compared to comparably priced hotels in...
We personally love to stay at Pullman Centrepoint during our stay in Yangon. All the staffs were very friendly, professional as well as helpful. The most amazing part was that the hotel staff has contacted us for our arrival details one day after we booked the hotel via agoda as we mentioned about early check in. As such, our room was ready by the time we checked in. T...
This is one of the better hotel in Myanmar (in my opinion). Facility wise it offers a business center, breakfast, in house restaurant in case you don't care to leave the hotel. The highlight for me personally....was the Gym facility!! Love that they have an actual "GYM" not some make shift outdated stuff. As a professional in the fitness industry...this definitely ma...
The best hotel during our three weeks in Myanmar. Our room was very spacious and had a large balcony. The bed was very comfortable and we slept really well, listening to the waves. The beach was so empty (and clean), it felt like our private beach and there was no shortage of sunbeds. The breakfast was amazing and the best we've had. There was everything you could ask...
Not a downtown hotel, but located on the Parami main road. Easy to get taxis, short drive to restaurants and Myanmar Plaza. Rooms are large and comfortable. Better than they look in the pictures. Breakfast buffet is excellent, with several western and eastern options. Staff is courteous and helpful.
My stay was five days and I have no complaints with the best western. I had a basic double room which was to be honest just a little small with only enough room to walk round the bed. If you are using this as a base then no worries but if you spend much time in the room, perhaps in the evenings then expect a little cabin fever. The staff here are great and helped me in...
We booked TBR for 4 nights of beach time at the end of our Myanmar trip. What a fantastic place to relax! The resort occupies a central location on a stretch of beautiful beach, with many restaurants a few minutes stroll away. We booked the cheapest rooms, which are at the back near the road. You can hear the traffic but we didn't find it bothersome. The rooms are spac...
Shangri-la is my favorite chain, so visiting Yangon I decided to stay here. Location is nice - can walk to Sula pagoda, gems market. Shwedagon is in 5-10 min driving (depends on traffic). Entering in the hotel lobby you like teleport to other city, country, universe .... Far from noisy, crowded and vibrant Myanmar capital ))) Modern hotel with colonial style interiors...
I have only positive thoughts on Holly hotel. Arrived here late at night after 3 long haul flights, staff were very welcoming and helpful....rushing out to get my bags and a cool welcome drink was just what I needed. My room was very modern and very clean with all relevant amenities. Wifi worked well in reception and my room. I cannot comment on breakfast as I left at ...
New boutique hotel and the whole room is in white. Clean, decent with a very convenient location. Staffs are very nice. The first hotel in Myanmar that provides free coffee mix and with a boiling pot. Opposite is the Aung San market. Super One supermarket is just round the corner. Many kiosks selling all kinds of cheap and local food are next to the hotel and a...
We stayed at Hotel Accord for our last two nights in Yangon. The beds were super comfy, the staff very helpful and rooms very quiet at night despite being in the heart of a busy area. The location is great near Dagon Center 1&2 with a lot of street life and several restaurants right outside the front door. The Owner was often in the lobby helping guests and was very fr...
Again great staff in a hotel in Myanmar. We arrived late on a Sat night and didn't have hardly any local currency and the manager let us personally some money. Just demonstrates the friendliness and service at the hotel is what we expect when we stay at 4 and 5 star hotels - actually could leave some of these places in their wake in Australia and Bali etc. The puppet s...
I have stayed in hotels all around Myanmar having lived and worked in the country for 4 years. The Link 78 in Mandalay is by far the best all round hotel I have stayed in. This is intriguing because it's far from the most expensive. It's what you would say is 'mid-range' in terms of price. However the quality of the rooms, the service, and especially the food, is simpl...
This was the most expensive hotel we stayed in during our Myanmar travel about, in late November, early December, but it was worth it to us. We chose the most expensive rooms as well, with a river view, facing spectacular sunsets. Staff were very friendly and even if their English was hesitant, they tried their best to look after guests. Could not ask for better servic...
We had a great stay. The hotel is really quiet, clean and personal really nice. Just note that the hotel is a bit fare away from dowtown (1hr by walking, 20min taxi). One of the best hotel in Myanmar.
Cheap places to stay in Myanmar
A hidden gem! Lovely private rooms with shared showers. Located just inside the village so you can take in the local vibes. Good breakfast and the manager is a super nice and lovely person! Only drawback is that the showers are cold (no biggie, since this is the case in many of the hostels anyways). Came for 3 days and stayed for one week. If you are travelling the are...
We booked for 3 nights and stayed for 1 night more. Very kind and nice staff, big rooms, hot water, nice breakfast. Be ready that electricity often off in this village. One day there wasn't elecricity whole day everywhere in this area. And wi-fi is very weak. But I like this place. Good view from rooftop, not far from market, comfortable beds!
The Staff at Sin Yaw Guest House were very helpful, friendly and sweet. The breakfast was tasty and filling (with wholewheat bread rather than the gross sweet white bread every other GH in Myanmar serves!) with toast, eggs, coffee/tea, fruit. The location was on a quiet street in the southwest of Nyaung Shwe, but still very close to walk to lots of restaurants and ever...
The team at Exotic were incredible. They have let us check in early - our bus arrived at 4.30am! - so we got some sleep before exploring. They have also let us check out late (before we even asked!) - till 6pm, as our bus was leaving at 8pm. They have booked a bus to Bagan for us that was cheaper than buying it directly online with the bus company. The breakfast is hug...
November hostel is a very clean and well designed hotel. The staff is always paying extra attention for any needs you might have. Good value for money, very central.
Me and my friend stayed here for two nights. They arrange pickup from the airport. They welcome us with a drink, which for us is the best juice we ever tasted in Myanmar! Hehe. That no matter how tired we were, it always satisfy our thirst. Really. We arrived before checkin time so we waited on the rooftop of the building where you can have a sneak peak of Yangon. Room...
I have been in many acomodations in Myanmar and also in Southeast Asia and this is by far the best place that I have ever been. Amazing brand new facilities (even better that many 3 stars hotels) and really kind and helpful staff. They allowed me to do early check-in at 7:00 AM without paying any extra money. The breakfast is good and they prepare it at the moment (in ...
Ace Star was the best hotel I stayed in, in Myanmar. The staff really did absolutely everything they could to ensure we were happy. Rocky, the owner was a delight to be around, he made an effort to meet all his guests and would hang out with us on the rooftop telling us about his views on Burma. The staff could organise onward travel but we always paid the transport co...
My friend and I stayed here. This place is amazing. It's super clean, the bathrooms are comfortable, showers have high water pressure and hot water. Basic but great breakfast served every morning. Beds are super clean. Living quarters basic: cozy in a good way but more spacious than I expected. Plenty of counter space and chairs to do work if needed. The best part was ...
Six floor with no elevator, a lot of natural day light, ventilation is good. Room is quite small, 4 double beds , two and two stick together, has no hangers, table or chair to put your stuffs. Has two fans, one broken, I was the only one in the room, if the room is full (4 persons dorm), will be extremely crowded as there isn't much space ,no air-con, ...
Just a couple of streats back from the main road, this a great place to stay with staff helpful to book trips and a nice restaurant next door. The breakfast is brilliant, a pancake plus what ever style of egg you want, including toast and an assortment of fruit. And the coffee is actually pleasent. I had a private room with a double bed, and it was the most comfy b...
This is the best hostel in yangon. I've already been on three separate occasions and every time I need to go through yangon i always go back. They are very reliable. The staff is so helpful and kind with everything from bus tickets to directions around the city. Their English is really good and improving. The beds are big and comfortable, and very clean hotel-like shee...
I stayed in a 8-bedroom dorm that I was really satisfied with. This room has no bunkbeds so everyone gets their own bed, which was quite big and comfy. You also get a fairly big locker and if you don't have a lock they can supply you with a key. Breakfast is fairly simple - eggs on toast, but it's enough to keep you going until lunch. The dining area is also quite nice...
Stayed for 2 nights. In general, I must say that this place is quite a good one. Value for money is guaranteed. I'll list some items for those who want to check this place more. Pros: - Cheap - Spacious room even for the dorm type. - 2 ACs in my room - The evening staff can speak English - Generally clean. Begpackers were the one who are dirty and stinking. Cons: - S...
It was really great. I usually don't stay in hostels when i travel, because it's always uncomfortable. But coming to Yangon and checking coup,e of not expencive guesthouses i didn't like them and decided to check this hostel which had really good reviews. It was a good decision! Hostel is good located, it haa the best shower i had in Myanmar, spacious rooms where you a...
Probably one of the best hostels I stayed in in Myanmar. Welcoming and helpful staff, even with unusual situations (me dropping in a day early due to illness that changed my plans). Rooms and showers very clean. And downtown Yangon is a cool place to stay :)
Autentic ancient village of smile and helpful people. Unforgotable stay enfront of the river where we enjoy swimming with villagers. Unique. 10000 Indein famous pagodas are 10mimutes walk. We went to Kyarton PA OH mountain ectinic village 5km. Fantastic school childrens, women in ther traditional dress and mountain view from mountain top are amazing. Peaceful water fal...
Great location with staff genuinely trying to do a good a job. From reading discussions on other blogs, I would not recommend staying the super cheap, windowless rooms. If your room has a window, you should be satisfied. There is no hotel safe or even a store room, but leaving my passport, etc. was not a problem. After two weeks in and about Yangon, we surprisingl...
You know that feeling when you stay at a hotel and you think well considering the ones i've rated with 5 stars before this one should deserve one more. honestly it's the cas here : it's a very small hostel, pretty calm, and with clean and good-looking bathrooms. on top of that the guy at reception was helpful and very friendly, and the location & breakfast were good. P...
I was spending 3 nights at Shwe Yo hostel during water festival holidays and had a good time in Yangon! The family owned hostel is a great place to be: Best location, very nice and helpful family and staff that speak good English and help you a lot with travel planning, things to do around Yangon and prepare the most delicious (vegetarian) food I had so far in Myanmar ...
If you stay at the mix dorm,will be difficult if you wanna go for toilet at midnight because the toilet is downstair. Breakfast is simple compare to other hotels in Myanmar.
The staff at this guesthouse is really extraordinary. I was welcome warmly, attended in the friendliest way, I was helped with further taxi/bus connection, I was given tips etc. The guesthouse is all new and in a perfect condition and a nice decoration. The rooms look much better than on the pictures of agoda! For a breakfast you can chose between a Western one and a M...
I loved to stay here and in fact favoured it over a seemingly more luxurious Hotel which in my experience with Yangon Hotels usually has no charme and can be dirty and often has no comfortable seating areas ect. This hostel is much better value for money. The wonderful staff is helpful, kind and professional. They will not overwhelm you with suggestions to do things bu...
Comfortable pods, free lockers, but have to rent towels. Cheap bicycle rental, but check chain and brakes. Very friendly staff and nice location. Dont always have hot water but thats typical in Myanmar. Would stay here again.
I arrived on September 2 2019. I m still staying in this hotel just because I would love to come back to this city in Future & do some business here in Mandalay, Myanmar 🇲🇲 connecting with India 🇮🇳 & China 🇨🇳 for sure. Every Morning I see Monks & Nuns with their big empty bowls on the Streets collecting the Donations not by begging or forcing u to donate. This i...
Managers and staff here are excellent. All work to ensure your stay is a good one. Breakfast is filling and has multiple options. The pool is clean and a great place to enjoy the views. A quick walk to the beach and snorkeling at lovers island. Reception has rentals for snorkeling, motorbikes, etc and can book your bus, tours, massage, etc. A great place to come relax,...
I don't see any cons about this hostel. It was the cheapest we found on agoda. Their breakfast is amazing and you can eat as much as you want. Their menu changes almost everyday and is always nice. Tea and coffee is free all the time. Beds are very comfy with curtains, with your own socket and a light beside every bed. The staff is very nice. The hostel is pretty clean...
I don't usually recommend a place. The BaobaBed hostel China Town i stayed at is pretty new and very clean. The building is an antique which is amazing. They did i a good job renovate it yet also reserve all the wood doors and ceiling original. Have a very cozy common area, coffee and bar area. The staff is friendly, I really enjoyed staying there. if i go back to My...
At first, i only booked there for 3nights, but i ended up extend my stay for 2more nights.

Those who said Inya Lake hotel is old, do you know that it has a history of over 100 years. Those who said it is secluded, can you find another hotel in Myanmar that owns acres and acres of lands and a LAKE!. To walk one round takes 20 minutes! Gym, outdoor swimming pool, cafe and bars(not only one), what more do you need? At this price? i would definitely keep coming ...
The staff is the best we have seem in hotels in Myanmar. Their English is great, they are very courteous and efficient. You can tell there is great management at this hotel. They have lots of very nice touches such as free bicycles, free fruit plate in room fridge on first day, and free dinner for 2 + free massage for 2 if you stay 5 nights ( which was a great surpris...
Merchant is a brand new hotel. Rooms are clean, proper and spacious. Wifi is working properly also in the rooms. It's very close to Schwendagon Pagoda (with an amazing view of it from the upper floors and roof terrace). It's maybe not the best location to go around Yangon (downtown not at walking distance - by taxi 3000K), but very easily connected to the airport (taxi...

Like others travellers, we are finding this place really nice, beautiful and tastefully orned bedrooms, in a flowery garden, staff really careful and smiling, and what should be normal but really doesn't happen often in Myanmar, stuff are maintained, taken care of, one can see the details are important here, and what needs to be changed or renewed is. And the wifi (pos...
After staying in $20-$30 rooms throughout Myanmar, my wife and I decided to splurge and stay here for one night. The room and hotel were awesome. Our room was spacious, clean and the furniture, mattress and linens were well maintained. The private balcony was nice to hang out on. We loved all the windows and woke up to a glorious sunrise. The hotel is well kept and the...
I loved this hotel! For once in my life, I felt like I booked the best hotel at the beach. My husband and I spent 3 days/nights here in November 2014 after 2 weeks of traveling around Myanmar. The hotel occupies the best stretch of the beach and we spent three days doing nothing and relaxing on loungers under palm trees. They also make great cocktails for you while you...
After Kalaw trekking with my little kid, we need comfortable hotel. This is the best option. Most of all, the people are so kind. They are ready to solve your lots of problems. You know, the location is little bit away from the Nyang Wu region, but as for me that;s not serious thing. My family had have a fantastic restoration here. My Myanmar is here.
Brand new hotel - opened on Jan 1st 2017. Room is extremely clean, and well furnished. Shower Area / Toilets spacious. Staff are very friendly. Lobby is uniquely-designed. Good food - though the menu was slightly limited as I was one of the first guests and the full menu wasn't on offer at that time. Beside the hotel, there is a good thai restaurant, a very popular ...
a very brand new hotel which is very clean, big room, and great service. Location is ok. Though it's not in the middle of downtown but you can find some small restaurants and the mini mart on the opposite side of the hotel in the walking distance. And as Myanmar's transportation is not convenience that you have to travel around by taxi, staying here is good because...
I stayed this hotel for this week during my business trip. room is very convient and too big~! most of all, I impressed employee's kindness!! I recommend avenue 64 hotel.. I am not sure whether I visit myanmar... it was my interesting memories.
The Vintage Luxury Yacht Hotel is new, opened a month a go. It is clean and great value for a 5 star. Being that it is just starting out there are really good buys at this time. I was a little unsure of the condition and the location being it was my first time to Myanmar. It is a good location, and the staff did a fantastic job. Very friendly and professional. Th...
If you're planning an international vacation and are considering something different, then travel to Myanmar. Two recommendations are easy to make: (1) book your stay at The Loft in downtown Yangon and (2) hire tour Guide "Han" from Toursbylocals.com. The Loft is a funky and cool boutique hotel in the capital city of Yangon, Myanmar (formerly known as Rangoon, Burma)...
The hotel was very nice and we enjoyed staying there. It is next to old Bagan and it is very easy to visit the tempels. The pool was the nicest in the area and the restaurant was very good also including the buffee breakfast. The room was also very spacy and we had a nice view to the garden and the river. The staff tried to be helpful but they were not as frindly as th...
My wife and I traveled from Yangon to Ngwe Saung Beach for a four day personal retreat. We live in and travel extensively in Asia and spend many more days in a hotel than at home. Since we travel so often we generally choose mid-range properties but sometimes stay in 5 star or even 2 star hotels. We read the Reviews of hotels to get a sense about the place we are...

A wonderful new hotel near the airport. If you are in Yangon for a while and want to explore, it's probably not the best location because it's a bit far from the main attractions, but if you are coming/going from the airport or highway bus station it's a great hotel. It's new and the staff are really amazing. It looks like maybe they are doing some formal training prog...
The hotel is situated at very good location. you can walk to Shwedagon Pagoda and Kandawgyi Lake. The hotel is very new and my room is spacious and clean. Reasonable price compared to other hotels in Myanmar. Actually, standard room rates in Myanmar are quite expensive compared to other countries in terms of quality. This one is worthwhile.

After having to pay big money for several Myanmar hotels, it was nice to get one that was value for the money. Great big rooms, a large lounge area, large bathroom and a seperate room for the shower. It was a waterfall type shower which I didn't mind as it still had better waterflow than my other hotels. The room also had two powerboards with universal outlets. It's a...
Luxury hotels in Myanmar
Sedona Yangon is home away home. I can vouch that no other hotel in Myanmar can beat the superb Hospitality of Sedona. The staff is so cordial & warmth that they will think of solutions for you at a personal level. i have never experienced a NO during my last 11 years of continuous stay in Sedona. GM Mr Mok is personally involved in taking care of individual customers ...
This is the best hotel in Myanmar. The staff are super professional and polite. 6 star at 4 star prices
We stayed here for two nights after the long flights from the UK as it was close to the airport (10/15 mins) and we just needed somewhere to recharge our batteries before touring Myanmar. The hotel is a stunning new building (opened Sept last year) offering a true 5* experience set alongside the lake with glorious views towards Yangon. It has everything you’d wish from...
The Rose Garden Hotel is conveniently located within walking distance to several sights, such as the Shwedagon Pagoda, the Kandawgyi Lake, the main railway station and downtown Yangon. My room was nicely aquatinted featuring traditional Burmese culture and styles and it had all amenities one could expect from a five star hotel. I particularly liked the small bouquet ...
This was my 7th visit to Myanmar, but my first stay at this hotel. It is a 5 star hotel on the edge of the CBD (it takes about 15 minutes to walk to the CBD). The hotel is of high standard: great breakfast, a nice swimming pool, a lady playing classical Burmese harp in the lobby every second evening, a good room. Like many Myanmar hotels, a bit over-priced for the stan...

booked the deluxe room with no breakfast online.

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 love...
Excellent facilities with one of the best hospitality you can find in Myanmar
One of the best hotels in Myanmar - really 5 star. Very attentive staff, comfy rooms, big and clean terretory. Located quite far from local village so you need to use a mototaxi to get there.
Inle Princess is long established and is of the highest quality. Run with deep connections to the local community the staff are excellent and like family when you stay there. Apart from the location the other absolute highlight is the food. On a recent visit with friends from around Myanmar they declared the best Myanmar/Shan food in the whole of the country. Hi...
We booked Hotel Pyin Oo Lwin for a two-night rest break during our 26-day independent tour of Myanmar, and were thoroughly delighted with it. Our bungalow was spacious and spotlessly clean, with a huge bed, dressing room, bath, shower, toilet, and front balcony where we could sit and read. The restaurant was excellent, and our two breakfasts and two dinners there were ...
The staff permitted a check out at 5 pm without any extra charge! Extremely friendly! Large pool and almost no guests! Nice food, including Myanmar dishes with their explanation for breakfast.Non stop chips and peanuts when one has a drink at the bar. You approach a door - and two guys open it for you! Gym trainer explains sauna facilities, nice massage at the spa! Fas...
Among all the hotels that I've stayed in - this certainly is on the top of my list. It's a new hotel located in one of the best location in Inle. They have their own jetty and you can do your tour hassle free. For our Myanmar trip - we did Yangon - Bagan - Inle and we feel that it was a perfect ender to our trip. Everything here was spot on. Great great room size. We...
This new hotel has everything, huge rooms, great restaurants, cool swimming pools, great spa and great views.The price suits the high level of the hotel. You can get boat and market trips to close locations and even though the airport is not close the distance gives you an unique location. The only negative comment is for the boat driver that didn't wanted to go to the...
Beautiful bungalows, and the resort is right allong the beach! I can honestly say its one of the nicest resorts I have ever been in Myanmar. I do think the pool/restaurant area could be made a bit more cosy. Its an amazing space with lots of potential! Beds are also very hard.
The Thingaha was a beautiful resort and the staff were lovely. Nothing was too much trouble. I had a wonderful, relaxing stay.
Normally I dont write reviews. me and my friend have been traveling on motorbike through Myanmar and book 2 nights in this nice hotel. Once we arrived, we was warmly welcomed and accommodated, in the evening we used swimming pool. During checkin we find out we actually need to stay only 1 night, staff told us, it is not a problem (hotel was almost empty). During checko...
2.. challenges . 1 each time I want to catch the ferry to the resort, I have to wait 1 hr and 30 min. 2. No one met me at the airport. Alone in Myanmar, in a country where there is little English, I was sick and weak with food poisoning and I had to rely on the help of other passengers to carry my backpack on the bouncing ferry. They should have some one t...
Very spacious and green grounds right at the beach. Perfect, quite luxurious rooms or bungalows, most of them with lots of shade. Everything in working order. Very friendly and helpful people. Especially good choice when you want some leisure days i.e. after travelling in Birma. A few books on your e-reader, good music on the ipod, a Myanmar beer on the side: that's a ...
I have been travelling all the time. This hotel is for sure the best one i have stayed in! there are a lot of reasons for that: - it is my first time seeing a hotel with flexible breakfast time! no matter what time you wake up in the morning or if you prefer a morning walk you can always have that at a later time. i had mine at 12 sth for one day! - their staff were t...

I really recommend this hotel to others looking for a good place in Nay Pyi Taw. The staff are very accommodating. They allowed us to have an early check-in. They can also arrange a car for you to go sightseeing in Nay Pyi Taw. The place is really good if you want to relax.
I booked this room because the map showed it was across the street from Parkroyal. However, the Agoda map is wrong and the Parkroyal is actually 2.5 miles away! This hotel is at the end of a long empty road of empty hotels. There are no taxis, motorcycle taxis, sidecars, shops, restaurants, etc. around. This hotel and all of Naypyidaw is best visited with a car. I di...
The customer service were awesome, and they ensure I had a wonderful time here. The breakfast was delicious, the only problem is that everyday is the same food. hahaha, perhaps the hotel can change different type of food for breakfast? Almost everything is charge in USD dollars in Myanmar, hence, my recommendation for the rest of travelers in Myanmar to exchange in USD...
However, only able to stay as it was heavily discounted. It was probably built and designed for upscale travellers. Sadly, the capital has an over supply of rooms and hotels seem hardpressed to fill their rooms. Overall, impressive hotel in terms of size, facilities and design. Modern comforts are cleverly incorporated while retaining Burmese traditional design element...

What can I say, everything about this place is amazing. We had an ocean view King villa with private pool and it was one of the best places we have stayed in. The public infinity pool is lovely and the restaurant okay but much better food out in the local restaurants. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. If you want relaxation and privacy, this is the place to...
I'm not sure why other reviewers complain about room rate. You get what you pay for. The room is very new and clean. Phenomenal services. We got a surprised complimentary jar of warm milk with cookies at 8:00 pm which adds a lot of touch to our stay. It is served in beautiful white porcelain. Staff are very attentive and so helpful. They will not let you roll it even l...

As you explore Myanmar's myriad attractions, you will encounter ancient temples, bustling markets, and vibrant festivals that reflect the country's diverse culture.
One of the must-visit attractions is the breathtaking Bagan Temples, where thousands of ancient pagodas dot the landscape, creating a surreal panorama, especially at sunrise and sunset.

Whether you are wandering through the streets of Yangon or cruising on the serene waters of Inle Lake, every moment spent in Myanmar is a chance to discover something new and exciting. The allure of this country lies not just in its sights, but also in the stories and experiences that await you.
When to Experience Myanmar's Wonders
Timing your visit to Myanmar can greatly enhance your experience, as the country boasts distinct seasons that each offer unique opportunities for exploration. The best time to visit Myanmar is during the cool, dry season from October to February. During these months, the weather is pleasantly mild, making it ideal for outdoor adventures and sightseeing. Festivals, such as the Thadingyut Festival of lights in October and the Taunggyi Balloon Festival in November, are also highlights of this period, providing travelers with a glimpse into the local culture.
As the temperatures rise in March and April, the hot season can be challenging for some, but it is also the time when the country prepares for the spectacular Thingyan Festival. This water festival marks the Burmese New Year and is celebrated with exuberance across the nation. If you can handle the heat, experiencing this vibrant festival is a must!
During the rainy season from May to September, the landscapes transform into lush green vistas, and while some areas may be less accessible, this is a great time to explore off-the-beaten-path destinations. The rain also brings fewer tourists, allowing for a more intimate experience with the locals. Regardless of when you choose to visit, Myanmar's wonders are waiting to be discovered.
Insider Tips for Traveling in Myanmar
Traveling in Myanmar can be a rewarding experience, but being prepared with some insider tips can make your journey smoother. First and foremost, understanding local customs and etiquette is essential. For example, it is customary to remove your shoes before entering temples and homes. Dress modestly, especially in sacred places, to show respect for the local culture. Greeting locals with a friendly smile and a simple “Mingalaba” (hello) can go a long way in building rapport.
Safety is generally good in Myanmar, but like any travel destination, it is wise to stay vigilant. Keep your belongings secure, especially in crowded areas, and be cautious when using ATMs. It’s advisable to carry cash, as credit cards are not widely accepted outside major cities. Knowing a few basic phrases in Burmese can also enhance your interactions and help you navigate more effectively.
Lastly, be open to new experiences! Myanmar is filled with hidden gems waiting to be explored, from local markets to scenic spots off the tourist trail. Engaging with locals and participating in cultural activities can provide a deeper appreciation of the country and its people. Embrace the adventure and enjoy every moment of your journey!
