Most taxi drivers had heard of the hotel. Villa room was a good choice as it gave us space. Western breakfast pretty uninteresting, and North Americans especially, would have to accept that it is a very limited range in this country as a whole. Like elsewhere in Myanmar, omellettes look very appealing, but taste of absolutely nothing! The ground floor restaurant looks closed at lunch time, but they will open it up for you if you ask them. Here they can serve you Asian food but also pizzas, burgers etc. Just had the pizza was very good! For good Asian food, can recommend the Unique Restautant next door but one.
If you accept that Mandalay is not Western Europe, or coastal America, then this hotel can be recommended. Not four star but very acceptable nonetheless.
