Tucked away in a quiet side street is this really pleasant modern hotel. Décor is stylish without being lavish and the rooms are immaculately presented. Small pool area, not what you’d use for a day by the pool but then I don’t imagine anyone is in Mandalay for sunning themselves. Quiet and pleasant for cooling off at the end of... more

This lovely boutique hotel is located a 10-15 minute walk from the Palace. The grounds are beautiful and there is a freeform pool. The staff are the most helpful, friendly, and accommodating that you will find anywhere!!

We booked two suites throgh our agency and had a confirmation with us. When we arrived we got two dark rooms -not suites - wthout window but a door to an outdoor shower.

The Hotel By The Red Canal is a very nice boutique hotel located in a calm neighbourhood in Mandalay. Service is friendly and helpful, rooms are beautiful -though standard rooms are a bit too small. more

My family and I spent three nights in Mandalay at the end of December and enjoy every moment of our staying in this small and lovely hotel. Not only it's an oasis in the busy city of Mandalay where you are happy to return, but from the first moment when you walk through the gate, every detail tells about the... more

We enjoyed our stay here. The first room they showed us was quite large with a nice balcony overlooking the pool, it had a little sitting space with a table and couch. However, as seems to always happen to us in Asia, it had two separate beds (it was for my husband and I, so we obviously prefer one big... more
