Good value for money in expensive Myanmar”

Myanmar accommodation is not cheap. So considering this Shwe Phyu Hotel is a wonderfully clean hotel with great sized room. While a little out from the centre of the city, taxis are a bargain in Myanmar so the location is not too much of an issue.

An oasis in a harsh city.”

Thoroughly enjoyed our large comfortable room with magnificant views through a curved wall of windows. Lucky enough to view both sunset and sunrise over Mandalay.

Clean, large room, value for money”

The rooms are very large. the bedding is fantastic. The hotel is very new. eager staff and great breakfast. worth the money!!!

Comfortable stay”

We enjoyed our stay here! It seems that this hotel only attracts Birmese business people, because we didn't see any other tourists. The location is quite far from the centre so you need to take a taxi to get somewhere. The breakfastbuffet is very big, but almost only warm (Birmese) dishes. The room was very nice and the bed very comfortable. If you want more luxery in Myanmar you have to pay for it, but this is an alright choice.

New Hotel with high standard”

the hotel is outside of the town, but if customers have the van rental, there shouldn't be any problem

very good hotel, but restaurant is a joke”

We had a very nice stay in this hotel, rooms are amazing, we re with 3 people and had the family room, which is huge! Very nice bathroom, although we missed some lights, as the bathroom was very dark, for the rest very good. Staff is friendly but english is poor. Restaurant is terrible, have potention and staff is friendly but they have no idea what they are doing, walking or sitting around, every thing was gone or almost empty an hour before breakfast ends, I had to fill up plates myself! They gave my a couple to fill up! We had to ask for everything, and everything was cold ect, I am a restaurant manager myself, and I really would like to take this team under my wings, as they have to learn a lot!

Poor value for money.”

Even though the staff was helpful and friendly this hotel was very overpriced for what you get. I would get to breakfast relatively early (Buffet style) there was always trays that were empty and not being refilled, trays that were cold (half of them were cold one morning) I almost always had to ask the staff for for a cup or a glass because there were no cups or glasses left on the trays. I usually had trouble getting hot or even warm water for my shower. The internet was slow (not the hotel's fault). However the room was always cleaned well and the beds were comfortable. The staff were great any time I needed help with something so that helped make up for the price. It was my experience that most hotels in Myanmar are overpriced so be prepared when you go there. (Still worth going, especially the temples around Bagan in the morning)

Not great value for money”

The staff was friendly but this hotel is way over priced for what you get. The breakfast was a buffet style and even though I would get there relatively early there was always trays that were empty and not being refill, there was always food that was cold, (they seem to have trouble with the concept of how warming trays worked) I almost always had to ask the staff for a cup or a glass because they had not refilled the glass/cup tray, this was despite the fact that staff was standing around. I ended up eating toast for most of my breakfasts. I often had trouble getting hot, or even warm water for my shower. The internet was extremely slow (Not the hotel's fault I am sure) It was my experience that all the hotels in Myanmar were overpriced so it is hard to fault this particular hotel but forewarned is forearmed.

An affordable hotel”

To find a place to stay in Myanmar during high season is a great project. We found this hotel and for one night it was quite OK

Extremely disappointing, poor location and staff”

poorly located for sightseeing, too far to walk anywhere, no street lighting (and it is very hard to find a taxi in Mandalay), very unhelpful staff, appalling breakfast, very basic. Luckily we were only staying two nights otherwise we would have moved. By far the worst of the hotels we stayed at in Myanmar.

New, Central, and Convenient”

Room, beds, and bath new and great. Free Wifi did not work at all. Staff attentive, and spoke English.

Review”

Okay hotel but can speak Mandarin. Good for chinese travellors who cant speak english

Clean friendly near Thai restaurant big room ”

Awful smell from restroom when I opened circulation fan . Not fast enough internet speed

Clean, friendly staff and good variety buffet breakfast”

Will stay again next trip. Good if provide disposal shaver too.

comfortable stay ”

very comfortable, easy to find. breakfast not much western but fine. room was spacious and clean. fast wifi

Clean and well staffed hotel ”

Stayed for a few days, the front desk was able to organize all travel requests such as taxi and local tours

Bad ambience with a bad feeling”

Payment system is inconsistent with different prices on different websites. Breakfast was dull with repeated dishes everyday and room was pretty dusty

Hotel average intersting sightseing”

No internet and no wifi, no international TV channels (for news) make the stay a bit isolated and not easy. The city is worth a visit while in Myanmar as there are pagodas around and the imperial palace in the city.

Nice and new room”

Awesome

good”
