I chose this hotel based on the location and reviews. When I was in front of the hotel, I was shocked by the overpass right in front of the hotel ! All pictures of the hotel did not show the overpass ! What a surprise. ! The rooms are old, bathroom is also old, disappointing.
The only positive point is the breakfast, good choice of food.
We book a triple room and got only an extra folding bed !

Me and my friend Mr:Vinod.Our reservation is ready because of online booking.We stayed in the 4 th floor.So there is noiseless. We stayed 2 days.Office staff's service feels very good.They always speak with smile and fluent English.Room is clean but they charged 1000 kyats when the bath towel is little dirty.Its feels bad.Restaurant food is also delicious.Room service also fine.They packed break fast when we return to airport in the early morning,that is before opening the restaurant.It is unexpected services.Our travel was a business trip.No more time to enjoy.Next time will try.
we were here at the beginning and the end of our trip and as others have said it is really overpriced but every hotel in myanmar are now charging well over not just this one
The room we had was on a high floor facing the back we had requested this through our agent after reading tripavisor tips make sure you ask for this the noise wasnt too bad had a good sleep
the room was clean nothing special but in a good position close to the market etc
the wifi was good and was even avialable in the rooms
breakfast was just ok just had fruit and toast
the city was full so this hotel was the best we could get
the staff were friendly
watch the pavements outside like all over yangon we saw a few westerners with broken legs watch were you walk although this is part of the experience
we ate in japan japan near the hotel food was ok, as we were flying early in the next day and didnt want to go to far
would stay again as just a stopover
traders and east hotel are around the corner they looked good unsure price though probably alot more expensive
We stayed here for one night. The restaurant was good, the staff in the restaurant were nice,friendly and tried very hard to speak English and to understand us! The room was clean, if you have a room on the corner facing the street it can get vey noisy at night.
We left early in the mornng and breakfast was, a box with hard cooked eggs and fruit.
Ok, the location is good, as it is just off the main road by the main Bogyoke market...but that was about it for us. Totally overpriced to being a rip off, needs modernisation and the breakfast was appalling. As was the managers attitude
We thought at first the hotel was allright as the reception looked good. However, our room was tired, old and not worth anything like the $100 (one hundred!!) we paid. Let me put this into perspective for you. The staff earn $70-100 per MONTH. So a mere one nights room pays for one staff for a month. That in Ireland equates to a room rate of €1,600/$2,200 per night. Sounds crazy now??
The staff here are lovely, friendly and willing to help. Having said that they seem to be in fear of the owner/management. We asked for a glass and the poor waiter asked what room we were in and when will we bring back the glass! We then asked for a single slice of lemon.
"I will have to charge you for the lemon". Sorry?? "
I have to charge you for a lemon"!! This was just pathetic.
Breakfast consisted of ten cold/warm dishes with 7 of these Asian. The "juices", in a country awash with delicious fruits, were the disgusting watered down squashes that are undrinkable. So I had water melon/papaya, 2 slices of horrid cheap bread toasted and 1 cold egg for my $100 rate. The "bacon" and "sausage" looked stomach churning and were stone cold.
Mean and miserable rip off owners who have no idea how to run a proper hotel. I complained to (who he claimed to be) the manager and he had no interest at all and indeed argued back to me while all the time sniffing a nose inhaler as he spoke to me. Rude and disrespectful and shows his contempt for his guest. Does he know the meaning of the word guest? I think not. The only thing they understand at The Panorama is to charge a stupid rate and pocket the money.
The very next night we stayed at the Amari Bangkok and this, for $55, was a world apart. It showed us very clearly what a terrible overcharge and dreadful value for money The Panorama is.
To the owner/management;
Go and stay in, say, the Amari above for $55 and see what you should be offering. Your hotel is a 2 star $30 a night hotel.
We started badly at our arrival in Yangon ( no hotel reserved due a flight schedule change). Our first option for hotel was full, so, they recomended to come to this one. For our surprise, the hotel price was more that the double that can be seen at website/guidebooks. Due lack of rooms available in town we had not choice but to accept the price.
The hotel is mediocre, the food at the restaurant is mediocre and the service slow.
The room ( and especially the toilet) was the dirtiest that I have ever seen for that price.
If this guys think that they can compete in south east Asia with this prices, they should think twice. I would recomend for that price a nice resort in Thailand rather that to throw your money in a place like this.
Now you are warmed.
