Good gardens, nice lake front room, room just ok, bathroom poor, smelt a little, restaurants in the hotel AWFUL, no internet AT ALL, reception staff useless, but its about the best price for quiet and luxury in the city. Pool is a bit scummy but nice location so who cares. more

This was probably a nice and impressive hotel. Today it needs a complete renovation from the old style lobby to the A/C system which is very unreliable (awfull heat and smell in the room). Appalling restaurant on the terrace (frozen barbecued food). The ground floor rooms (with the nicest views) are all reserved for the European Commission Aid programme. Good... more

I loved my experience here. I travel frequently to Yangon and will make it my ppreferred hotel. it was just after cyclone Nargis so the pool was not operating and ther was some building noise working on repairs to the roof - however the staff and food made up for any of those shortcomings. Excellent buffet breakfast and all meals... more

There are one or two things badly wrong with this hotel. The biggest problem was the bedroom. This looked impressive but had a dreadful musty smell, as did the rooms of our friends staying close by. The bottled water in the room bar was stated to be imported but was in fact just the local stuff at a truly ridiculous... more

Superb hotel! Very friendly staff, clean and nice decorated rooms, good shower and and a superb view! Breakfast and even the buffet at night were great. Especially if you have the roomrates by the internet it's a very good value! more

We stayed at the Kandawgyi Palace Hotel for our first two nights in Burma. As we arrived at night in the middle of a rain storm we had no idea of the spectacular view from the hotel of the Shwe Dogan Pagoda. As the lift stopped on the fourth floor and our room were on the fifth we were fairly... more

This hotel is located inside the Kandawgyi park near the paya shwedagon, we can see the paya from the patio !! The rooms are clean and nice. The garden and the pool are amazing, it's so peacefull to stay in the garden after a day in yangoon streets. The hotel's restaurant is good and if you want to eat Burma... more

We stayed here for two days as our first stop in Burma. The restaurant is OK, but tends to cater to non-Myanmar palates. The adjacent restaurant at the lake gets good ratings in the Lonely Planet, but not from us, we have had far better Burmese food. Rooms are spacious, bathrooms need a fix. The location is beautiful with a... more

Distinctly average. Room with view of Shwedagon not bad, but hotel a bit frayed around the edges. Huge crows invade the breakfast table if you eat on the terrace and leave the table unguarded while you go to the buffet. Little scams (stamps sold for twice the marked price; ludicrously expensive airport pickup) are more sad than irritating. And for... more
