The staff are friendly but not outstanding. Stayed in a lakeside room and it was well worth the little bit extra. The city centre is not far by taxi, Shwedagon is within walking distance. They have a car/driver hire service that is good. The drivers are very friendly and willing to show you around. The vehicles are air conditioned. The... more

I am a very frequent business traveler to Myanmar and after having stayed in many hotels I settled for the Kandawggyi Palace. Location is very convenient and it is very good value for money. The staff is very helpful and will always help you out with any request - at a reasonable price. My customers are impressed by the settings... more

Location, location! The lakeside rooms are superb, with individual terraces and beautiful views over the lake and tropical gardens. The best swimming pool and views from it we've ever had in a city-centre hotel. Great rooms, friendly, kind, helpful service. Knocks the socks off awful tower-block hotels like Traders. Worth every penny, if you like unpretentious luxury at a reasonable... more

The Kandawgyi Palace Hotel is a good start for any trip to Myanmar, particularly for those who have never been to this country. The hotel is nicely designed in local style using a lot of wood. The rooms are slightly dated and do not offer high-class amenities, but are pleasant enough for the price. Due to the overhanging roofs they... more

Everythin was perfect here except birds ! Tons of birds flyin around and stole food, sugar and cream on outdoor tables.

Service was... more

We stayed at this hotel as part of the celebration of my son's wedding ceremony to a local young lady. The hotel was top notch and we had a superb room on the ground floor overlooking the lake with a terrace which we could walk out on to - well worth paying the extra for this. The room itself was... more

We love Myanmar and the Burmese people and have returned to the Kandawgyi time and time again on frequent trips to Yangon over the years. We agree with many of the previous comments on the charm of the architecture, convenient location and stupendous views overlooking the lake and the Schwedegon at night. I particularly love waking up at dawn to... more

Formerly a Boat club in another age this is now a charming hotel built in teak wood in old colonial style. We had a suite in a wing on the 5th floor. We arrived in Yangon at night and a lasting impression was being shown the suite by one of the receptionists with a spectacular view of the Shwedagon and... more

Best of hotels in Myanmar. Far from tourist destinations. Good service mind. Old hotel, need minor renovation. Problems with lots of bird. more
