5-Star Hotels in Mandalay, Myanmar

It is the best hotel in Mandalay! Being in Myanmar before I already knew that hotels would be expensive, but I never regretted paying the price of staying in Mingalar Mandalay! Will still choose this one over others!

I'm so glad I splurged and chose this hotel—it's worth every penny! It's right among ancient temples, within walking distance and visible from the restaurant and pool (there are two pools, the second one is large, perfect for swimming). There's an observation tower nearby, from which you can watch the sunrise and sunset for $5. The grounds are spacious and decorated in traditional style, with carved wooden decorations. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and they were so helpful with any questions we had! They checked us in early upon arrival, helped us buy bus tickets to Yangon, exchange money, and booked a tuk-tuk for a day of temple-hopping (the driver was excellent, taking us along his own route and showing us even more than I had planned). We had two delicious meals at the restaurant. We also enjoyed the breakfast. In the evenings, they set out tables by the pool and host concerts. I highly recommend it!

The Hotel is quiet old. Our room has some broken floor. However, we really appreciate with warm welcoming from the staffs, polite and friendly front and coffee shop staff, the quiet and nice atmosphere (we can walk around the very wide nice clean hotel compound both in the morning and evening), wide and spacious room and bathroom, nice traditional buffet breakfast (even there's not much choice but we had more than full stomach) and especially they have very tasty traditional hot milk-tea. It is like honeymoon-like-stay for us.

The hotel is very quiet in the mountains, from the hotel to the waterfall, 10 km from the city center of Bin Ulun, you need to call the city from the hotel to the city center, cost 12000MMK. It is about 70 kilometers from Mandalay International Airport and is driven for one and a half hours at a cost of 45,000 MMK. The view is very good, the balcony of the room can see the waterfall and the sunrise and sunset, but there is no other facilities around, it is a little isolated, eat and drink in the hotel restaurant, or call the car to the city center. The facilities in the house feel that the general level, there is no hot water shower, this is very embarrassing, may be the solar energy used in the mountains? ...... Breakfast and food I can only say that compared with the city of Mandalay is also a relatively normal level, not difficult to eat, but it is also like that. The service was good, because the car arrived at the airport at 6 o'clock in the morning, the breakfast did not start, but it was very intimate to pack some food.
