Firstly, most accommodation is expensive for what you get in Myanmar. However at the time I booked, the hotel did not do online booking it was all arranged via email. The basic cost of $55 a night had 20% tax added on to that and then I was required to pay in advance via paypal - which took the total... More

Myanmar deserves a break since they are coming out of 50+ years of government oppression, but they can't continue to get a free ride in terms of tourism quality. Mandalay View Inn is owned by the same group that owns Hotel On the Red Canal, which is billed as 1 of the top hotels in the entire country. Really? Visit... More

I'm really surprised at the negative reviews of the Mandalay View Inn as we really enjoyed our stay. We found the hotel to be very clean and the staff very helpful and friendly. On arrival a member of staff was washing the stones that went around the small garden Not something you see very often! Check in was very prompt... More

If you are thinking of staying here, think again unless you've always wondered what it would be like to sleep in a jail cell... Rooms are beyond tiny. There is literally nowhere to put your luggage. I ended up moving the tv and fridge and pulling out a tiny table to sit my suitcase on precariously as I didn't want... More

I have stayed here twice, in 2004 as well as 2012, the hotel received a renovation since. It is located literally on the same block as the Mandalay fort. What makes this place special in my view is the staff, especially John, an elderly man who you'll find working non stop at the hotel every day. The other staff were... More

Paid for a superior room for 3 nights. Nothing worked properly as the rooms are very dated and badly need to be renovated -poor hot water and TV did not work. Obsolete air-con could not cool the room. Spent two sleepless nights as it was supposed to have been fixed.On third night moved to the only other room available which... More

I was bumped out of the red canal Hotel into the Mandalay View due to an overbooking (Reality = price hike as there were rooms available), I decided not to take up the offer. Which got things off on a bad footing. The Hotel itself is OK, but it is in need of an update to the rooms and Bathrooms.... More

I should not be too harsh, because truly we did not pay very much for the room and so shouldn't expect too much. That said, the hotel was dirty and the walls must be made of paper because every little noise can be heard-including the cook singing in the kitchen when she comes in at 5 am. On the bright... More

this hotel is more like a guesthouse, but with hotel prices, the breakfast is really basic and the bread seemed to be yesterdays. the rooms are small and the bathrooms seem to be from the 60ties, they rent bycicles forr 5000 kyats, which is 5x the regular price and the staff speaks almost no english. laundry prices are way too...
