cons
very dated looking. not a very good shower.

it wasnt a very expensive place, but i think you can get much higher quality rooms for about the same price elsewhere. we just had the bad luck of everything else being fully booked during our dates.

The hotel war near the old palace, today this is used from the Army of Myanmar.
The hotel is not too near / too far from the city.
Rooms to the street side are lound at 4 am !
Better take one in the inner garden side. There in the garden ist also a nice pool bath.
You can use this for free.
Outside at the street is a bakery witch seems to belong to the hotel. You can have snacks and cakes there

Very little door insulation and open walkway construction leads to a very loud and distrubing enviroment. Ask for a quiet room. The location is good and depending on the price you pay (around $50) it is okay. Paying more would not be good value

Got a good view of Mandalay Palace, but felt like visiting an old people house. Very sloppy decoration of the room. Everything is out of date and a lot of mosquitoes in the room and on premises. Got only a few channel to watch on a very tiny tiny TV. Breakfast was pretty bad and expensive. Very small pool. Room service was expensive.Cost 3times what you will pay to eat outside. Foreigner $45 for smallest room, local $24.
