We stayed twice, and for several nights, in this hotel during our visit to Burma. The very first night we had terrible noise from a discotheque in front of our rooms, so, the next day, we asked for, and got, a quiet room. The second time we got a quiet room, because we specifically asked. So if you want to... More

I just left Kandawgyi and it is the first time I was happy to leave a place I had chosen to vacation at. To start - our first room had black mold on the shower curtain and tiles missing from the shower ceiling- when asked to change rooms the hotel agreed and then moved all our stuff while we were...

We checked into this hotel as part of our first night in Yangon, at the start of our trip. The reception/check in was smooth, fast & relatively efficient. The room was good. Clean, large with a good TV to watch. The hotel is placed in large grounds, including a dinosaur sculpture in the garden! You get a great view of... More

We agree with other reviewers that the rooms are a bit disappointing especially on the third floor and without lake views. We also agree that there is a problem ( not huge) with noise from the corridor. And our room had a definite smell of drains which was bad on one of the two nights we spent in the hotel.... More

This hotel is located on Kandawgyi lake with its beautiful views of lotus covered waters. The hotel is set in a lush garden with three pools nestled in among the trees (two under renovation until March 2012). The lobby is marble and wood carvings with a pleasant bar area. The desk staff spoke good English and were welcoming and professional.... More

Amazing historical hotels build with golden teak wood with brand new renovation and well maintenance, great view of Kandawgyi lake, superb room services and staff, great restaurant with delicious local and western food. Free wi-fi in the lobby which hardly get in Yangon. Although it's unrated hotel but definitely worth 5 star! More

the size and scale of the hotel were a contrast to the intimacy of The Savoy Hotel where i had stayed a week before ..Decor was modern Myanmar with a touch of gold and kitsch!The pool area seemed to be undergoing renovations which was needed as the pool was very 70's compared to "infinity "pools common in many luxury hotels...

When we stayed in this hotel last year, we were a little put off by its aging room features and dark quarters. What a difference a year makes! A makeover has kept the classic qualities of this well-located hotel in tact while bringing it up to date. There's beautiful new woodwork and decor in the rooms, marble baths, and excellent... More
