"Make an appointment, budget a 30-60 minute wait on top, no big deal."

"Pretty big variation in quality of rooms; it is an old retrofitted hotel, so some have large utility enclosures which are remarkably noisy. Complain if you get one."

"Great wifi (for Myanmar), hit overpriced and fairly mediocre rooms. Probably won't stay here again."

"Has an extensive European menu, and get I've had has been good. Now has wifi (along with basically everywhere else in Mandalay, it seems)."

"Good choice for downtown Mandalay. Probably worth paying for the executive room with a private patio on the top floor for $10-30 premium. Friendly staff, new, and well maintained."

"This is a great hotel, especially if you can get a Royal Club room. By far the best lounge in Bangkok. A popular hotel for meetings and weddings; fairly high society and long term expat vs tourists."
