Grand entrance ”

Loved our stay at the Melia Yangon, hotel entry was so grand and beautiful centre piece hanging from the ceiling, staff very professional and polite, our room on the 22d floor was very spacious with beautiful windows and views, bed was massive and very comfortable, breakfast was amazing with so many choices of tasty food. Hotel is across the road from Inya Lake where you can have morning and evening walks, next door to the hotel is the Myanmar Plaza shopping centre, with a food court/restaurants on the top floor. Distance to the city centre depends on the traffic but it's not that far. Would definitely stay at the Melia Yangon again.

The Best To Date”

I used to stay at Shule Shangri-La which was previously known as Traders Hotel. However the traffic there can be notorious so unless I'm visiting places around that region I try to avoid. It has it's charm though. I was recommended to stay at Melia Yangon last year and so far I've never looked elsewhere. The staff there are really helpful and friendly. The room and area are very clean and wifi strength is good. I even managed to have a WhatsApp call with my boss. He thought that I was already back home in Singapore. Yeah.. it's that good. So far no power outages - for those who have been to Myanmar knows that's a "norm". The unfortunate thing is that I haven't got much time to fully utilized the facilities except for the cafe at the lobby. Prices are stand hotel price. The only issue I have with this location is that there is no street food around the hotel unlike in Shule Shangri-La. But there's Myanmar Plaza just next door and the walkway to and from the hotel is covered. Myanmar Plaza houses many choices of food and shopping. The likes of KFC, Gloria Jean Coffee, Aston's, Black Canyon, The Manhattan Fish Market, Ya Kun, K-Bibimbap, Sorabol and also a Singapore Restaurant. Besides restaurants there's also a food court of sort. Stashed away in a corner is a local food court serving noodles and other local food. The price is good but the aircon is not that great. City Mart has a supermarket there so you can buy groceries drinking water etc. Sports stores includes Nike, Adidas, and Sketchers. Other stores I saw was Crocs, Ooredo, Bodyshop etc.

Excellent Hotel in Good Location with well-trained staff”

I stayed at Melia for a week in early Dec 2019. It is at very good location at it is linked to Myanmar Plaza and beautiful Inya Lake at the front. Lobby is spacious and beautifully decorated. Gym and Swimming Pool are well equipped, clean and well maintained. The room I stayed is spacious. Staff are polite and always offer to help us if needed. Win Tun and Alex from Pool and Gym are very friendly and helpful. We will not hesitate to stay there one more time and to recommend others. Stay at Melia will never disappoint you!

New and next to Myanmar Plaza”

My first time at Melia. The hotel is very new and bedroom is spacious. Breakfast is impressive, it's even better than Sedona. Location is quite good, next to Myanmar plaza and overlook Inya lake. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Doorman helps make a good negotiation with taxi.

Best hotel in Yangon”

I spoke to a business traveller who told me he has tried most of the 5 star hotels in Yangon (there are only 10!) - he opined that the Melia was the best and I have to say it was clean with friendly and helpful staff. Top tip, don't pay $20/head for the hotel breakfast, the mall next door has an ever increasing number of Western eateries (hard rock cafe opening soon), much better options, or eat out in the town!

Excelent service”

I have stayed most of Yangon top hotels, but this Media was exceptional good. I stayed level room which allowed access to private lounge. Beside good breakfast it was very nice sit there during sunset. It had nice views to lake and Swegoda wat. Staff was also very nice and professional. Beside it is located next Myanmar Plaza which I suggest is largest shopping center with some reasonable priced restaurants.

Perfect base for Yangon”

My first time to Yangon and I chose a familiar name - Melia. The hotel is about fifteen minutes away from he center of the city even less without traffic and is located in a nice quiet township next to Myanmar Plaza mall. The rooms are spacious and comfortable the bathrooms are huge and I enjoyed using their huge gym and pool.

Best In Yangon”

I always choose Melia when i visit Yangon. This place is amazing. The rooms are big and comfortable, the service excellent and the hotel is just beside one of the nicest malls in Yangon. Coffee and food choices are plenty.

Super friendly staff”

This new hotel is situated in a great location, with my room overseeing the Inya Lake. There are also great views from other sides of the hotel. Breakfast buffet is super generous. I will definitely come back.

On hoiiday from UK”

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 from our trip to Ngapali. We are happy to return in future if Melia maintain1hese excellent standards. The only grumble is Hotel has deducted 50 dollars automatically for mini bar from our credit card. This will return to us in 3 weeks if we did not use the contents from minibar,which we did not. We have stayed at another 5 star hotel in Myanmar before and they only took the credit card details without charging upfront. We now have to lookout for the return in our credit card statement which we find extra work.

Very convenient location to/from Yangon International Airport”

Pretty much easy access from Yangon International Airport which is almost 11 km is one of the advantage of this hotel as well as nice view of the lake Inya from the room.

Great Hospitality and Friendly Staff”

Location is near to mall and opposite Inya Lake. It'll be great if the hotel is connected to the mall, otherwise no shelter from rain and shine. Gym was quiet eith numerous of treadmills.

Avoid other hotels, book Melia”

Hotels like Sedona, Traders, Chatrium etc May have been good once but not now. Yes Melia is new but it’s been thought through. Rooms are spacious, beds are enormous and very comfortable, food is delicious, all staff speak good English. Location ideal. Pool and gym are excellent. If you can afford it, book it. For the budget travelers I’d also highly recommend the Merchant Art Boutique Hotel. Extremely clean, basic but very affordable.

Exceptional”

Clean, New, good location. Next to Myanmar plaza shopping Centre with multi choice of food and supermarket. Great view of Inya Lake just across the hotel.

My First Choice in Yangon”

I frequent Yangon for work and have been always back to Melia for my stays. The place is a gem, good location, fantastic staff and really comfortable

HIghly Recommended”

My second visit to Yangon and my first time at the Melia. No Regrets. Nice location, friendly and professional staff, excellent facilities.

Myanmar adventure”

Stayed total of nine nights at Yangon Melia Hotel. A great experience. All good. Staff fantastic. Highly recommend.

One of the best stay !”

I had booked a room to celebrate my birthday night. Once I stepped in the room, a birthday cake with a greeting card is awaiting on the table and also they had decorated Happy birthday note with rose petals on the bed. How thoughtful they are ! Receptionists/ Service crews are attentive too and will greet with sweet voice which my gf was much delighted. We will be planning to stay there again during next Water festival. Thank you Team Melia !

Very good and nice service”

very near to shopping mall, nice service staff . i was sick on one of the day and they manage to bring me to their hotel doctor for medication . i would definitely stay with them on my next visit. in addition, their rates is not that high and the rooms are very spacious and clean. one of the best hotel i had stayed in yangon

Booked and Paid for Premier Lake View but got DOWNGRADED to non-lake view”

I booked and paid for Premier Lake View. I checked in @ 1 AM, I wasn't inform my room was unavailable & downgraded to a non-lake view. The lady reception tried to up sell me to pay extra US$15/night for club benefits (not CLUB ROOM). I later realized my room was not a lake view after visiting my friend's room with real LAKE VIEW room. I contacted the Duty Manager, he explained to me that lake view room was unavailable during check in. I am puzzled. Because the Premier lake view room was at least US$20/night more expensive. Melia hotel could have informed me during check in. Being season traveler, the hotel will usually UPGRADE you to next category instead of DOWNGRADE (remembered i was asked to pay $15/night for club benefits). He offered to change my room, but it was pointless as i already stayed 2 nights. I asked for refund. During check out, i was refunded $18 for 3 nites stay! This is really unbelievable. I showed him Melia website show diff of >US$20/nite before tax.
