Mandalay City Hotel

We thought this hotel was fine for the price, with a decent breakfast and friendly, helpful staff. It’s central and set around its own courtyard. The rooms were okay but a little dated. One thing to know: the lift only stops between floors, so you’ll need to use the stairs for part of the way. Staff can help with luggage.

We were greeted at check-in with a sign bearing our names, which was a lovely touch. The service was amazing, and breakfast had a good-sized selection. Tucked away from the main streets, the hotel felt surprisingly modern and was amazingly clean. The rooms were comfortable, and it felt worth the money.

The elevator only stops halfway up the stairs, so you still have a few steps to carry things, which is a bit silly. Otherwise, it’s a good hotel and I’d recommend it. The rooms and bathrooms are large, and the staff are super friendly and helpful. Housekeeping helped carry our suitcases. At breakfast, the waiters were attentive without hovering, bringing food with a smile. They seemed well trained.

The staff were very friendly, and there’s a nice pool. It’s in a central spot in the city. The rooms were clean and had what you needed, though they felt a bit dated. Water pressure wasn’t great.
