A wonderful place to begin and end your Myanmar (Burma) adventure...quiet, serene and utterly relaxing in a city growing busier by the day. Pool is perfect. Rooms simple, clean, large and nice. Staff is quietly attentive. I would recommend this hotel over all others in the Yangon. (But word to the wise, don't pay retail--ask and you shall receive a... More

A must in Southeast Asia together with the Raffles, the Oriental, etc.. It is probably the best choice in Yangon with its old colonial style, the quality of the accommodation and the location. However the service is still not at the level expected especially with the front desk and the concierge. More

The Strand is one of the iconic hotels of this world alongwith the Taj in Mumbai, the Raffles in Singapore and many such old world hotels.l A perfect stay despite a small water problem in the bathrooms due to a failure of the filtration plant. We felt at home from the greetings of the GM on arrival with flowers and... More

We stayed in The Strand for 2 nights In Dec 2011. The hotel is beautifully fitted out. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Our room overlooked the front and was massive. The breakfast was excellent. We ate at the fine dining restaurant at the back where the food was superb. I understand that the chef is Australian. The bar... More

We chose to stay here to try and have a nostalgic feel of a long gone colonial time and thats what we got. We stayed twice in December and both rooms were very different with their own character. There was nothing overly complicated with the furniture in the rooms and there was almost a faded feel - which to us... More

In this unfortunately rather poor country there is this one outstanding hotel in the middle of town next to the rive called the strand. In case you visit Yangoon and you can afford this please stay there it is awesome. Like the time 100 years ago, however with electricity and zircon. The place to be in Yangoon. A real landmark,...

We've stayed at most major hotels in Yangon with asianfoodtours.com, and The Strand is a stand out! Granted, it's more expensive than others, but worthy of a "special detour" as Michelin Guide would put it. High ceilings, huge rooms (yes, they are all suites, but don't feel that pretentious), and the place exudes "yesteryear" in all the best senses. Decor... More
