I stayed at this hotel during the uprising of the monks in Rangoon. It was a wonderful experience. The staff were great all the way through and even when a curfew was imposed, it was business as usual. My first choice of hotel in Rangoon. more

Stayed only one night but what a joy. Beautiful bedroom but with a shower only - strange. Had dinner in the garden surrounded by illuminated hand painted umbrellas. Food is quite excellent. Stay here if you get the chance. more
