Residence 26

I've stayed here many times for weeks at a time since it opened three years ago, and it has become my favorite home away from home. The staff remember guests and greet them cheerfully, and they go out of their way to help. The serviced apartments are maintained promptly and thoroughly, and the whole place keeps getting better. The gym is well equipped, with a panoramic view of Yangon from the 8th floor. Power interruptions are now frequent and can last 3-4 hours, but the whole-building generator makes them much easier to bear. The staff couldn't be more helpful. The biggest surprise has been the improvement at Cafe@26, the on-site restaurant. It's small, with seating for about 40, but now has an Italian chef who makes outstanding pasta. The daily specials are consistently good, the seafood is fresh, and the local dishes are excellent. You haven't really lived until you've tried the Ngapali shrimp! They've also added a basic wine and beer selection to go with the food. With well trained English-speaking serving staff, Cafe@26 has become a destination restaurant for people from Sanchaung and nearby townships, and is starting to rival SHARKY's nearby. I hope they keep up the high standard they've established.

They have a good menu and prepare the food consistently, with great service. It's a nice place for small, informal business meetings, or to sit back and work over good coffee.

A peaceful spot to catch up with friends or colleagues and talk business over coffee.

It's quiet, and the service is good. The food, though, didn't really impress me.
