From the staff who provide a warm welcome at the gate, to the attractive teak interiors and the perfectly proportioned rooms and gardens, staying in this hotel is a most pleasant experience. Breakfasts are generous and fresh. The hotel is very well located for a visit to the Palace and the Hill top for the mandatory sunset view. Not to... More

Very nice looking hotel on the outside but some gaps. The staff were courteous offering towels and a tea, sugar, and a tamarind drink on each arrival. The cocktail party was worth attending and a plus for the hotel. The hotel car,however, was a wrecker...doors didn't open, no springs, backfiring...The only time that I have ever seen a car like...

The Hotel by the Red Canal was one of the most enjoyable places to stay on our recent visit to Myanmar. You are greeted by staff as you arrive. The room we had was on the first floor and was spotless, quiet and very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again the next time we are in Mandalay. More

This is a small owner-managed hotel, whose facilities you cannot compare with big government- backed competitors. Nevertheless, it was very good value; the food, though limited in choice was generally good, particularly the Indian food, and the staff were extremely warm and welcoming.

When we arrived we were allocated a downstairs room which I definitely would not recommend. The room is small and there is no room at all to... More

We spent 5 days there over new year and it was a wonderful experience,. The Staff made an amazing effort with the preparations (which included boarding over more than half of the swimming pool to accomodate extra tables. The entertainment for the evening was very good and included some excellent presentatioms by the staff themselves. The buffet dinner was superb... More

We stayed here for 2 nights late December 2011. The hotel is overall excellent and very well managed. The restaurant is very good with superb Indian food. The room we stayed in was quite small, but you spend so little time in the room. It was very clean and everything worked well. Each night we were there they had a... More

Nice rooms. Very friendly and helpfull staff. Clean. Breakfast was pretty basic and was not at the very good level of the room and staff quality. More

We booked this hotel more than six months (!!) ahead of our trip over Christmas, as we had heard great things about it. We had email confirmations from the hotel for the dates of our booking and had even made arrangements for onward transportation through the hotel, so there could not have been any doubt about when we were planning...
