Upon reaching the hotel in the evening, I found the rooms a bit on the small side, although clean. The service was excellent, with the staff going above and beyond to assist in organizing day trips.

I had a delightful stay at this hotel. The rooms were incredibly comfortable and beautifully designed, with a lovely fresh fruit basket and luxurious bathroom amenities. The staff were exceptionally kind and attentive, always ready to assist and even going out of their way to help with shopping. The location was perfect for exploring Mandalay, with easy access to main sights and lovely views. The dining experience was generally excellent, although it could use a bit more variety. The facilities were top-notch, providing a truly enjoyable stay overall.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were beautifully decorated with a fresh fruit display, and the surrounding area was picturesque. Although the room with a little patio by a stream felt a bit cramped, it was very comfortable overall. The service, especially for organizing excursions, was top-notch, but there was a slight hiccup as they seemed unaware of our online request to borrow bikes. The location was perfect, right in the heart of Mandalay, offering a peaceful setting with water features and lush greenery. The dining experience was delightful, with a mix of Western and local options, and the facilities were excellent. Overall, a great value for the quality of the stay.
My stay at the hotel was delightful. The rooms, though small, were beautifully appointed and kept exceptionally clean. The service was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making my late arrival hassle-free. The location, set in a quiet part of Mandalay with lush surroundings, was peaceful yet conveniently close to the main attractions. The dining experience offered a variety of fresh and tasty dishes, although some minor improvements could be made. The facilities were top-notch, providing a comfortable stay overall.
The hotel offers rooms with plenty of character like wood paneling, large balconies, and small waterfalls outside. However, the rooms are a bit small with limited space for personal belongings. The service is exceptional with staff showing care for guests’ well-being and needs, although attention to small details can improve. The location is ideal for exploring Mandalay Fort and the palace, surrounded by lush greenery, though it can be prone to mosquitoes. The dining experience ranges from good Indian cuisine with live music to simple options, but at times lacking variety and quality. The facilities present a lovely pool area and a jungle-like environment with a creek and waterfall. Prices overall are reasonable for the amenities provided.
I absolutely loved the outdoor showers, a great value for the price paid. However, the room was on the second floor without a lift, up a steep and dangerous spiral staircase. The room was tight, making it hard to even open two suitcases at the same time.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room was nicely decorated and comfortable, but the lack of natural light and noise from the lobby area was a downside. The service was top-notch with helpful staff, but the dining options were a bit lacking. The location was peaceful but not as exotic as expected, and the facilities were adequate.
My room was very pretty but also very small, comfortable with a lovely balcony over the garden, but slightly on the smaller side. The lack of natural light in the downstairs rooms made them dark. The service was extremely kind and helpful, especially when they made us a breakfast package for our boat trip to Yandabo. The location was a perfect retreat after a day of sightseeing, walking distance to main sights and a short taxi ride to Mandalay Hill. The dining experience offered a great selection of dishes, though it felt repetitive after a few days. The facilities were modern and well-maintained.
