Review: The Governor’s Residence, Yangon
The Governor’s Residence remains one of Yangon’s most atmospheric and elegant hotels, combining colonial charm with modern comfort. Nestled in a quiet embassy district, the restored teak mansion, once the home of a British colonial governor, immediately impresses with its graceful architecture and tranquil gardens. Approaching through leafy pathways and lotus ponds, guests are welcomed into an oasis that feels far removed from the bustle of downtown Yangon.
Rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated, featuring polished teak floors, four-poster beds, and traditional Burmese textiles that reflect the building’s heritage. Balconies overlook either the lush gardens or the inviting fan-shaped swimming pool, creating a sense of calm retreat. The service is consistently warm, professional, and attentive without being intrusive, with staff eager to share local knowledge and assist with arrangements.
Dining is a highlight. The open-air restaurant offers refined Burmese and international dishes, prepared with fresh ingredients and presented with flair. Breakfast under the wide verandas, with tropical birdsong in the background, is especially memorable. Afternoon cocktails by the pool or an evening meal by candlelight evoke the romantic grandeur of a bygone era.
What sets the Governor’s Residence apart is its atmosphere: it is not simply a hotel but a living reminder of Yangon’s colonial past, reimagined with comfort and grace. Whether visiting on business or leisure, guests leave with a sense of serenity and timeless elegance. For those seeking a blend of history, luxury, and authentic Burmese hospitality, this residence is an exceptional choice.
Mercure Hotel has always been a second to me and my partner. We’d stay here with friends and we even booked them during our wedding day. On our recent stay, it was so nice to be back with my baby and parents. Staff always welcomes us and serve us with smiles.
Another thing I like about this hotel is their continuous commitment to improvement, and live and care to Mother Earth. They started eliminating single-use plastics and now uses sustainable packagings and items.
I highly recommend Mercure Hitel!

Relazione sulla residenza 2024, parte 6
1. Informazioni sulla sala fitness
Attualmente, l'energia della sala fitness è sempre chiusa e si può chiedere alla reception quando si usa.Tutti i dispositivi sono aggiornati e nuovi e non sono stati utilizzati quasi.Durante il mio soggiorno, c'è quasi un ospite ogni giorno che lo usa comodamente. Tuttavia, si prega di notare che ci sono molti arresti elettrici a causa dell'interruzione dell'elettricità, il corridoio si ferma improvvisamente.
AC non era cosi' freddo. Le luci erano dimmi. Sentiva un po' impuro in tutto. Il personale era bello. Il colazione era solo ok. La posizione era un po' profonda all'interno della pista, ma facile da viaggiare.
The staff were very accommodating, from the receptionists to housekeeping💙
I stayed here for only one day as I extended my trip by a day. Don’t expect too much from the amenities, as the hotel is half the price of others with similar facilities—which is why it’s a good option😊
The breakfast buffet had limited options but was still decent —- They have a section where you can ask a staff member to cook an egg/omelet for you, but I didn’t explore the other options (breakfast starts at 6:30 AM, which is great if you have early morning plans, as it gets really hot once the sun rises during this month)….
The hotel has a gym, sauna, and pool. The room includes a TV, kettle, hairdryer, toiletries, and complimentary water and coffee…..
The only downside was that hot water is not available 24 hours during my stay…. According to the receptionist, hot water is available only during specific hours to adhere to electricity conservation, if I’m not mistaken.. (if I’m not mistaken, starting from 9 AM, but I’m not sure until when) as they have I only realized this when I was about to shower around 8:30 PM and found that only cold water was available. I called the receptionist, and they sent housekeeping to assist…. I’m not sure if it’s a temporary thing only so if you’re concern with this, you can message them first…
It’s still a good place to stay, even if it’s a bit far from the tourist spots, as Grab is available at a very reasonable price for getting to the places you want to visit.
There is a shuttle bus in front of the hotel. The rooms are clean and safe. The food is very delicious.
The hotel staff are very polite, friendly, and safe.

1. The bathroom is not clean and has stains.
2. When taking the elevator on each floor, the waiting area for the elevator does not have air conditioning.
3. The restaurant air conditioner is not cool.
4. There is not much food to choose from.
5. The room is very small.
6. Not worth the price paid
7. The internet signal is not very strong.
Overall the hotel needs to improve a lot.
Good old hotel with antique atmosphere and courteous service, I liked the room but got dissaponted that the bedsheets and towels are too old and not clean, and it has some more caveats.
The hotel is situated inward corner from the main street and need to call taxi every time just to get out, which is annoying if you want to go around the nearby area. Inside the hotel building there's one convenient store but the front desk never mentioned that and couldn't find it on the day of arrival. The biggest problem is there are so many noisy and dangerous street dogs nearby the hotel and they are barking at every car going in and out from the hotel, and when you try to walk back to the hotel it is really a big threat as they swarm and try to bite you even in the daytime. Those dogs are seriously damaging the hotel access and make the guests uneasy.

UUtente ospiteIf you're looking for a comfortable and affordable stay near airport in Yangon, Myanmar, I highly recommend this hotel. My recent stay at this hotel was an enjoyable one and I have nothing but good things to say about my experience.
The location of the hotel is excellent - it's situated near the airport, and the rooms are cozy and clean, with all the necessary amenities you need for a comfortable stay. Despite being a budget hotel, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the facilities provided, including the comfortable bed, good air-conditioning, and hot shower.
The hotel staff were friendly, professional and always ready to assist with any requests or queries I had. The check-in and check-out process was smooth and hassle-free, and the staff were always available to help with luggage and transportation arrangements.
One thing I particularly liked about the hotel was the breakfast buffet - it was simple, and delicious
This hotel is an excellent choice for travelers who are looking for a comfortable and affordable stay in a convenient location near the airport. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely stay here again on my next visit to Yangon.

UUtente ospiteHo soggiornato molte volte quando sono andato in Myanmar. Il personale è amichevole e cortese. Le selezioni di colazione a buffet sono anche buone e cambia ogni giorno.
La posizione è anche buona. Molto vicino (attraverso la strada) a un centro commerciale con un paniere e un negozio di pasticceria.

UUtente ospiteFriendly staff, nice pool. Breakfast was passable but nothing special.
Biggest complaint - despite all rooms being non smoking, my room absolutely STANK of stale cigarettes. They offered me a can of air freshener spray which covered up the issue for all of 10 minutes. By the time I checked out all my clothes had picked up the smell of stale smoke and made everything in my suitcase smell too.
ÂÂngelo Vieira Jr.E' un vero viaggio nel tempo, un fascino che ti porta a una nave del 1920. Diversi dettagli originali, come orologio, il frigo dentro un barile, la cassetta di suono bluetooth che imita una vitre, tutti i mobili in pelle. I dipendenti sono estremamente simpatici e accoglienti. Io super consiglio, senza dubbio, è stata una bella esperienza. Un punto unico della posizione è la sera, perché c'è una fiera notturna che non sembra così sicura e, nonostante il vintage, alcuni piccoli dettagli mancano di manutenzione come il portafoglio della camera, per esempio
MMMarkWas on a Business trip in Yangon, got this Hotel recommended.
Good Location on a central Street with Bars and Eateries. A big Supermarket is just across the Street.
The Hotel is in good shape, the staff friendly and eager to be of service.
At their roof-top facilities and from the windows one has a good view to the Shwedagon Pagoda in the distance.
Will go there again. Was a worthwhile stay.
