Hotels With Bars in Mandalay, Myanmar

Don't expect anything from the local Five Star News. The hotel's facilities and decoration are similar to those of ordinary hotels. When checking in, the floor is not air-conditioned and it is very stuffy. The check-in process is also a long time and it feels that the management is chaotic. The breakfast is hardly delicious. The only thing that is commendable is that the high-rise view is very good, overlooking the city, after all, it is almost the tallest building in Mandalay.

We stayed for three days in March, and this hotel is a gem! Stunning river views, beautifully maintained grounds with an abundance of flowers and spreading trees, a large pool, and very friendly staff. They may not speak much English, but they always try to help in any way they can. The hotel isn't new, more like a remnant of former luxury, but that only adds to its charm. There were very few people there, so we were able to relax after the bustling city life.

Location, amazing. Ambiance, great. While the service and staff are excellent, but sadly the place is under maintenance. Perhaps it was because of significant reduction of guests in Bagan. Breakfast was good. Room services was good. The hotel graciously allowed us to check in early, but I found that the toilet and towels were not cleaned properly. I alerted the front desk and they immediately cleaned the room. Another issue related to the toilet was the permanent stain on the wall and floor, and also the very low water pressure. For that price and the cleanliness, I got a bit frustrated.

Location is the king. You can walk from the hotel to most places in old bagan. Hotel is just beautiful, gardens are eye candy. Cleanliness is questionable, I guess because throwing things on the floor is just normal in cultural way, as well as dust and spider webs are just part of the nature :) Food is 10-40k, a bit more expensive then average. Massage is good, 30/40k for 1/1.5 hours. Staff is unbelievable friendly and helpful!, they can easily forget something, but would try their best to help you.

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 breakfast shop was attentive and delicious I stayed for a week and I had a good time without any inconvenience. I recommend it

The location of the hotel is very successful: we walked to the Royal Palace and looked at all the other sights. Well, when we hired a tuck-tuck to go around the suburbs, it is largely no matter where you are taken from. Around the mass of textile shops, many snacks, on the next street a large fruit shop, in addition, on the next street there were several trucks that traded durian at a throw price (compared to Thailand). There are COCO and AEON drogeries in step-by-step access, where at a fairly low price you can buy both noodles/rice, and a variety of fruits and local specialties. At the same time the place is quite quiet, we were comfortable in the room. The average size room, cozy, there is air conditioner, teapot, safe. Every day they put the cooker, coffee, but for some reason they don't put the spoons in the bathroom, although the box under them is standing. Cleaning and changing towels every day, the lingerie changed every 2 days. The only thing I can do is that the waitresses are not very attentive, the bathroom ended soap and gel, and since they did not check the capacity, it was necessary to kick. In one day came at 16 - the room was not removed, too. For some reason there is no ”do not disturb” plate and the next morning to us the room broke into the room, it is good that we were both in the bathroom and the door was closed on the chain. In the evening in 20.00 turn off the light, exactly for a couple of minutes, then turn on. Very weak inno. Warned that on the last day it would be early to leave - cooked lunch boxing and even water didn't forget. Helped with ordering tuck-tuck for the day we planned to watch the old capitals, negotiated with tuck-tucker. Very nice and friendly.

I stayed at Holidays Pier Hotel for 2 days during my business trip on November 2025 . The room was beautifully and clean. The location was perfect with city view. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a comfortable stay. However, the air conditioning in our room was a bit noisy. Overall, it was a delightful experience.

”Had an absolutely wonderful stay! The hospitality was top-notch, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the service was prompt. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a perfect getaway.”

New wave hotel is close to Mandalay railway station and bus station There are restaurants nearby to exchange foreign currency and eat I especially like the bar & restaurant on the top floor of the hotel, which overlooks the Mandalay Palace not far away and Mandalay Mountain in the distance.
