Hotel a Kyauktada, Dagon Township

After nearly a decade away, I finally found myself back at this hotel—and what a welcome return it was. From the moment I stepped into the lobby until the moment I reluctantly rolled my suitcase out for the airport, the experience was nearly flawless (with just one teensy quibble—I’ll get to that in a bit). Check-in was smooth as silk, made even sweeter by the offering of fresh watermelon juice. A delightful touch! I did encounter a minor hiccup with my luggage—it took a while to reach my room, and I had to ring the concierge to investigate its whereabouts. But the porter was so genuinely apologetic, I almost wanted to apologize for bothering him. Guilt level: Catholic nun. Now, onto the room. It was wonderfully spacious, and while the decor still whispered “vintage business trip,” it was undeniably comfortable. In a world of modern hotels where rooms are the size of a generous walk-in closet and the lighting feels like a moody art installation, Parkroyal proudly remembers what hotels are supposed to be: roomy and restful. Would I have loved a USB charging port near the bed? Yes. Did I survive without it? Also yes. The one area that could use some serious love was the bathroom—more specifically, the shower bathtub combo. The tub had some visible mould on the floor, the shower head had a bizarre crush on the wall (refusing to face the actual human in the tub), and the toilet flush was positioned so low I wondered if it was designed by a committee of hobbits. Tall guests or elderly folks may need a bit of acrobatics to reach it. That said, the rest of the bathroom was perfectly functional. My room faced the swimming pool, which looked inviting, though I skipped it in favor of the gym—and what a gem it was. Not only did it feature the usual suspects (treadmills, dumbbells, etc.), but it also boasted a yoga area, TRX setup, rowing machine, and even a vertical climber. It felt more like a premium fitness club than a hotel gym. Breakfast deserves a standing ovation. A buffet that goes beyond the usual suspects, offering everything from local delights to Western staples, plus Japanese, Korean, Indian, and Chinese options. I may or may not have returned for seconds. And thirds. In short: would I come back? Absolutely. It’s a comforting mix of old-school hospitality with just enough modern touches. A charming classic that knows what really matters.

Near many attractions and downtown of Yangon. Also, it's convenient to other areas by Grab. Strongly recommend to all the travelers!

Il personale amichevole del desk front me ha aiutato a ricartolarmi la scheda telefonica. Le camere sono pulite, la posizione è conveniente, c'è un taxi proprio fuori, il colazione è bello. Scusa per il commento tardivo. Sono rimasto in questo hotel per 5 notti e mi sono sentito molto bene e mi piacerebbe scegliere di nuovo questo hotel.

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.

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.

Impeccable service and beautiful rooms with good views. The rooms were well lit and had all the amenities - ironing board, hairdryer etc. Bed was also comfortable, clean and well kept. The breakfast had a good spread and the food served at their restaurant was also very good. It was also convenient, connected to the shopping centre. Would definitely stay here again when I visit Yangon.

Fumo e incapace di dormire in camera, chiamato la ricezione che offrìno fresco d’aria quando avevo prenotato una stanza non fumatori. Dormito in corridoio, mangiato da mosquiti. Anche sul 8° piano e senza ascensore. Non una stanza tranquilla. Ma grande posizione.

La stanza è completa e il servizio è molto atteggiamento.La colazione è ricca e viene inviata direttamente alla stanza.
