Yangon hotels near Sule Pagoda

Cons: Attention to detail was not there...this is supposed to be a five star hotel...the sink in my bathroom was blocked, the phone broken, an empty vase graced the bathroom. No advertised pictures of old Burma on blank walls. Large but impersonal room. So called butter (s) did nothing but collect and hand out room key. I had to tell them each time I came back my room number. Food was hit and miss. I went to the New Year dinner at the restaurant. All in all very very disappointing. I have stayed at Raffles, E&O and many other classics but this is one not to be repeated.

Pros: This hotel has a unique atmosphere and offers a truly excellent service which is highly personalised. My stay was the sheer pleasure!

Pros: The thing that sets this hotel apart from other 5 star hotels is the fact that the staff are truly excellent (I would say 6 stars for the staff if it were possible). Because the hotel is relatively small, I think it allows for a much more personalised touch. The facilities (pool, spa) of the hotel were also very good, as was the a la carte breakfast/ restaurant.

Cons: Not that I didn't like it, but if you are considering staying here you should accept the fact that the hotel is >100yrs old and as such its angle is 'luxury mixed with character' rather than 'pure, modern luxury' (such as might be found at a modern 5 star hotel). I think having character makes it much more interesting... It was nice to sit in the breakfast lounge and think about who might have been sitting in this exact room having their breakfast 100 years ago...!

Pros: The colonial heritage. Renovated but not overrenovated. Certainly one of the best colonial hotel in the world. Should I travel to Yangon again I certainly will choose The Strand. .

Cons: Nix, nothing!

Pros: Loved the charm and attention to detail.

Cons: The breakfast service was very disappointing— slow and lacked following up (in regards to all beverages).

Pros: The renovations have been tastefully completed and the swimming pool area is blissful.

Cons: Unfortunately The Strand didn't live up to the hype and expectations. Little things let it down. The sink in the bathroom was blocked. The desk telephone was broken. No flowers I'm the room, just an empty vase. No pictures on the walls. New Year's dinner at the restaurant a big disappointment. I have stayed at Raffles and the R&O, unfortunately The Strand lags behind. As a side note the butler (s) on the first floor never knew my name or room number and I had to ask for my key every time. Sad when there were on three rooms occupied on the floor...

Pros: Absolutely amazing hotel! Gorgeous building, great location and fantastic staff. We couldn’t have asked for a better hotel during our stay in Yangon. The Strand will be nearly impossible to top.

Cons: N/A

Pros: They upgraded suite for me.

Cons: We had dinner at The Strand Restaurant, but it's was the most expensive and the worst restaurant I stayed in Myanmar.

Pros: Old world charm

Cons: Not worth the price

Pros: It is nice place. Nice cosy pool, nice rooms, nice gardens, friendly staff

Cons: The rooms are not exceptional, there are no great views, it is rather far from everything

Pros: This hotel was truly stunning. It was classic and elegant. The lily ponds surrounding the property were beautiful. The pool is lovely. The rooms are stunning. They are large with the most comfortable bed. The attention to detail in rooms is spectacular. The restaurant is fabulous and the staff are lovely. Beautiful place to stay.

Pros: Everything!!! amazing place with fantastic peoples!!!

Cons: N/A

Pros: Staff, location and property were superb. Definitely recommend it.

Pros: Comfort perfectly blends with Luxurious Burmese décord, softly contrasted with the scenery of the area. Lovely swimming pool, nice breakfast, amazing staff I.e. genuine hospitality of “The Golden Land”

Pros: Beautiful & relaxing environment; very friendly, helpful & professional staff.

Pros: Staff charming and chef was very helpful. The main menu didn't have enough local food options.

Cons: On arrival we were shown to inferior rooms and we ended up in a room although acceptable was not what we booked. The staff were very apologetic but they then tried to charge full price for the lower quality room.

Pros: The kindness of the staff, the amazing site, everything was perfect. Dîner and breakfast were magic as well. Really a place you want to stay longer.

Pros: The staff helped me too much.

Cons: The most expensive hotel I started in Myanmar. But it's not the best one. Is this the hotel of the Belmont Group? It didn't reach the level of Belmont.

Cons: More taxis available

Pros: Beautful setting, fantastic service

Cons: Everything was great
