We had two stays in this hotel, either side of a trip to Bagan. The room we booked was a suite, it was comfortable and clean. However the room was at the front of the hotel and there was traffic noise all the time, especially from people using their horns, which drivers in Mandalay do a lot. There was also a problem with general noise as all the windows seemed to be ill fitting with gaps between window and frames. The suite was on the first floor, on our second stay we did ask for a room higher up but were told this was not possible. We also noticed a bad drain smell a few times. We ate in the restaurant a few evenings, however the food was bland and uninspiring, there was also a cultural puppet show which appeared to be on most nights. It was nice on there first night but after that not so much as it was the same show. Staff in the restaurant were very polite and friendly however refused to take any dollar notes that were marked or old.
