RITZ GRAND HOTEL MANDALAY

Property is newer. Staff is excellent. Location is away from the city, so need to take a ride in a taxi to experience downtown. Did not have much to do after daily tours because of location. For some reason everyday about 6 am the power went off for a couple of minutes. Has a sky bar with great views of area.

The restaurant on the top floor was a real blessing because 1) there is not very much around the hotel, and 2) because they served simple and tasty food.

My stay began with a really early check-in at 6am, which I really appreciated and also allowed me to watch the amazing sunrise from my room. The room was a great size, quiet and extremely clean. The bathroom was lovely too! The view from the Sky Bar and restaurant was amazing. I enjoyed dinner one night in the restaurant and the service was excellent. There was a great selection at breakfast too. I checked out at 5:30am and received a breakfast box for my boat journey to Bagan which was a lovely evening touch.

The suns rise view from the hotel room was stunning. Also the WiFi was one of the strongest I’ve seen in Myanmar.

Good roof top bar and view over the city Mandalay.

Lovely staff. Roof top bar is sweet - considering there is not that much in Mandalay.

Really enjoyed our stay. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. There is a complimentary breakfast from 6-9 each morning which was a great start to the day. The hotel is about 2 km from the palace and located on a quiet street. Rooms were large and very clean. AC worked well and shower was great with good water pressure. Would absolutely recommend to everyone, great value for the price.

one of our co-worker stayed ther for few months. And this is the place where he can stay long-term. The owner staying in this hotel, and he take care well. Extreme clean, good breakfast (omelete), clean dishes. JB will def stay again here.

hotel itself is clean, the view is excellent, the food is good. The only thing that made me make a bad review was had a shower and had a very small stain on the towel due to a faded hair dye. The hotel staff insisted for us to pay 5,000 kyat. Towels are expected to have some dirts for we sometimes used it to wash feet, to wipe floors etc... had been traveling extensively and had been to probably a thousand plus hotels but had never met a scenario as that. If it had been big and would be considered unusable I would gladly pay for it. But aside from a very small area so faded you couldn’t even see it unless you look at it closely. Towels are expected to get dirty. The amount they ask for is not that would matter a lot. It’s the way they handled the situation. How much would they collect in a day for minicule situation as that. If you don’t have a treated hair or won’t used any of their available for the guest as part of what you pay for go ahead and stay in this hotel. But I would advice my friends and family to stay away to avoid similar situation. I was wondering later why I forgot to leave a tip in the room which I normally do and will just hand it over to them in the reception only to realized that this would happened. Likewise had some questions regarding airport whereabouts the staff could not even give an answer. When you catered for foreigners at least have someone available to help out customers.

Great rooms , terriffic staff and a great rooftop bar
