“Pleasant and peaceful hotel, great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 June 2013 NEW

I stayed in this peaceful, lodge-like hotel for just one night, arriving late in the evening and leaving in the mid-morning the next day. Still, it was enough time to appreciate the good location - adjacent to a lovely park with a man-made lake and within walking distance of the Shwedagon Pagoda. The hotel itself is right on the lake,... More

“excellent”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 June 2013 NEW via mobile

Great hotel, super food, location not so good but easy to get taxis and quite cheap. Breakfast is very good with a great selection. The pool area is overlooking the lake and the view is fantastic. Had some pizza for lunch, very large portions.

“Really luxurious!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 June 2013 NEW

A very nice hotel with an excellent breakfast buffet. The only problem is you are stuck eating in the hotel which is expensive compared to the local food. The menu is quite extensive offering continental and Asian cuisine but I would have preferred to be a little more centrally located to have gone out and chosen my own restaurant. Hotel... More

“Kandawgyi Visit”

This was my second visit to the hotel and I was very disappointed to the extent that I would not stay there again. The room was damp and the floor was sticky and did not seem to dry out at all. The room had a musty smell and whatever I tried I could not get rid of it and the... More

This was our second stay at The Kanndawgyi Place Hotel and we were not disapointed. The hotel is well sitauted for visiting Shwedagon Pagoda and visiting downtown Rangoon.

“Atmospheric hotel on the shore of a beautiful lake in central Yangon”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 June 2013

I am actually staying at this hotel as I write this. This place is amazing. The gardens surrounding the beautiful teakwood structure are amazing. There are paths everywhere, leading through lush tropical gardens. If you want a hotel that screams old Burma in modern Myanmar, this is a good option. The rooms are large and decorated with touches of local... More

“Cool Hotel, Friendly Service and Great Atmosphere.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 June 2013

I stayed here twice, before going to the capital (skip that trip) and on the way back. Loved the hotel. Lots of character with teak and marble everywhere. Staff are friendly, but could be a little faster with check-in. Rooms are great, with very comfortable beds and linens. The food was better than expected, but I had some minor stomach... More

“Good hotel, very close to Shwedagon Paya”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 June 2013

Pleasant hotel, with very friendly staff. Decent buffet breakfast selection with mix of international and local foods. However service staff not very attentive at breakfast. Good but not great food at restaurants. Good location on the lake, 10 mins taxi ride to downtown, and a stone's throw from the Shwedagon Paya.
