Sedona: Room with an Awesome View

We moved to this hotel for our second night in Mandalay, and were very happy with all aspects of the hotel. The counter service was excellent, restaurant clean and a great buffet dinner range available. The room was spacious, with a wonderful view of Mandalay Hill, and was located opposite Mandalay Palace precinct. A very generous buffet breakfast was included in the price.

Unique Quality: This hotel is NOT government owned for those who prefer to avoid these.

Palace Hotel: A Basic Palace

This hotel was recommended by another traveller - who proceeded to rip us off after suggesting that we "share" a taxi with him from the airport. We did not realise that we would be paying for his much longer trip. Did not bode well for a good start at the hotel!

The location of this hotel is in Chinatown, and its therefore in a reasonable location for getting around on foot. The room was quite comfortable and roomy, albeit relatively basic. The bathroom was big, and had both bathtub and shower - NO toilet paper. Also have to add that the shower was completely cold, and there was virtually NO water pressure.

Breakfast was included in the $25 price, but it was a fairly sad little affair! An oily egg, cold toast and jam and a three-in-one powder coffee mix.

Hotel is also located close to the railways station - and the trains were quite loud, sufficient to wake me several times during the night.

The hotel had a lift, but you were forced to use the stairs when the power was off, which occurred twice during the 18 hours we were there.

Croxton House: Stay in a cheap hotel in Pyin U Lwin

This is a former house that has been converted into a hotel. It has large rooms with each room having its own bathroom.

It is clean and the staff are friendly.

Sedona Mandalay: A classy hotel

The Sedona Hotel is a 4-5 star hotel. I must admit it was a welcome respite after some very solid day's touring. One day we even used the very nice pool! Another day when we came in very late we had the buffet dinner which was excellent value (US$12.00). Even if you don't stay at the hotel I would recommend going to the hotel and partaking of the international buffet. They even had glasses of French red wine for US$6.00- not bad!

Unique Quality: One of the few hotels in Myanamar that accepts credit card! I have mentioned some of the other aspects of the hotel already. It also has a bar area where you can play pool and a shop which sells various souvenirs/jewellery (and you can use the credit card provided it is more than $300.00). The hotel also has internet facilities. When we were there you could send an email from the hotel and receive emails addressed to the hotel for free.
It has a pool, gym, massage facilities. Rooms are large air conditioned and have satellite TV!

It is also very close (walking distance) to the Green Elephant and the Mandalay Marionettes show.

Unity Hotel.: OK, but overpriced.

On returning to Mandalay for one night before travelling on to Inle, I arrived quite late at night from the train and thought that the excellent Royal Guesthouse would be full (see seperate tip) so I gave this place a try. I'd seen it before and it was fairly central.

The foyer area is cool and pleasant and the reception staff all speak good English. I was given single occupancy of a double room on the fifth floor (with a fairly boring view!) and it was spotlessly clean, with en-suite bathroom, satellite TV and minibar. It was great for the night, and after a long day on the road (train, technically), certainly gave me a good nights rest. My only slight quibble is that it was 18 USD for the night. This isn't a lot by European standards, but it proved to be one of the more expensive place I stayed.

One thing to beware of. If you are watching the satellite channels, you are entirely at the whim of the staff downstairs - you watch what they want to watch!

This is also a decent place to change money.

The photo shows the nice air-con bar / restuarant that seemed never to have any patrons - no idea why.

Zeigyo Hotel: Por el mercado By the market

La entrada al hotel es algo agobiante, ya que se hace a traves de las tiendas y puestos del mercado y ademas como la energia esta racionada es muy posible que haya que subir andando los cuatro pisos.Una vez arriba las habitaciones estan bien y el trato es excelente
El desayuno es bueno , especialmente una especie de sopa de pescado

The hotel entrance it is a bit oppresive , because you get to it through the shops and stalls of the market and besides as the energy is ration it is very probably that you must go up the four floors. Once there , the rooms are O.K. and the treat is excelent
Breakfast is good , spetially a kind of fish soup
