Could have been a Better Stay

The hotel location is very good. Service is generally acceptable but this stay had one unpleasant experience during breakfast. This was my 3rd stay. During breakfast, I was toasting bread when the staff asked me to take a seat and they will serve me. When it was ready, they serve to another guest!!! That guest just took it without question. When I told that guest that was my toast he got defensive and spoilt my morning. If the staff had been paying attention and serious about their service, this would not have happened.

Comfortable room, OK location

The room was spacious, the bed was comfortable with good pillows, and the internet worked well (around 14mbps). The breakfast was good, a decent selection of food, some western but mainly Asian. There's a nice rooftop terrace to dine in, but the menu doesn't have much Myanmar cuisine which was disappointing, especially as there aren't many restaurants or shops near the hotel. But other than the location, it was a comfortable stay and the staff were friendly.

Avoid this hotel if you can

Even the staff are very friendly, and you can exchange money in the back (the rate is poor compared to the airport and the bank), the location is acceptable, the noises are bad starting at 5am from the streets (dogs often fight in the neighbourhood, chanting is less harmful but can be annoying if you are not into the rythme). Worst case, the windows can't be opened, blacked out with drapes, no natural lighting. Even that, the cooking smell would leak through. The shower has a plastic curtain forming a half circle. Breakfast is disgusting, not fresh, little selection. I suspect they use overnight leftovers. Maybe because it is run by Burmese Chinese? A1 hotel close to here doesn't have this reputation.

I didn't bother to move around because I only stayed for two nights. And I used it only for sleeping. The day I'm out.

The hotel is close to a popular local restaurant which I call it food stand. Don't order the three choices there (cold and disgusting), ask freshly cooked food, which is much much much better.

Worth the value

My husband and I were there for 2 nights to visit Mandalay. We knew we were going to be out most of the time so didn't want to pay for a high end hotel just to sleep at night, hence booked this hotel after seeing all the good reviews. The location is just in the middle of the city, very close to the Mandalay palace and the night market. The room was clean and the bathroom was almost brand new. The staff was excellent - attentive and very helpful and tried their best to accomodate our needs. The mattress was albeit quite firm but was not much of a big problem after we asked for extra pillows. Overall, this is the perfect place if you are looking for a 3 star experience of a reasonable price.

Disappointing

When I arrived it was around mid-day so the complimentary water was quite warm. I decided to put it in the fridge, but that was also warm! It took until the next morning for anything in the fridge to be cold. The air con also took quite a while to cool down.
When I went to leave the next day, I was informed it would be at least a 30 minute wait to get a taxi. Though they had asked how I had arrived (via plane) and when I was leaving (\"tomorrow\" I told them when I arrived), they never told me I had to request a taxi in advance until it was too late. Mandalay was my 3rd city in Myanmar and both of the previous were able to get me a taxi within minutes, with no advanced warning, so I did not expect this. I got to the airport in time, and since my flight was delayed I had plenty of time. But considering 2 of my 4 domestic flights left early (as in 20-30 minutes early), I really think they need to inform their guests of this taxi policy - especially as the airport is a good 50-55 minutes away.

An OK hotel in an OK location. Everything was fine, and probably about what you'd expect for the price in this city. Marginally better than another hotel we stayed in for a similar price in the same area.

The room was still quite small, even though the views from the upper floor were quite good. There was a roof terrace but beer was the only drink option, so we skipped it. Breakfast was OK - the usual options. The staff were helpful and booked onward travel for us. Internet was marginally better than in other places.

Value boutique hotel

We spent a total of 4 nites at the Royal Pearl, Mandalay and opted for the larger (superior?) room which was a good choice/value. A very clean boutique hotel with excellent, very helpful staff, at an acceptable location with an adequate breakfast (included) with workable aircon and wifi. Taxis more expensive than Yangon and location might be considered to be the \"wrong\" side of the railroad tracks (along 29th Street) which are a major demarcation and barrier to the more stylish (?) south side of Mandalay town. Not a big issue to us as we preferred the more \"local\" markets which are within (relatively)easy walking distance.

Good and clean place to stay in Mandalay

We stayed here for four nights and we had a pleasant stay. A double room wasn't available for the 4 consecutive nights (we would have had to change rooms after the first night), so we took the free upgrade to a superior twin they offered us instead.
The rooms were clean with daily room service and two small bottles of water included per day. The bathroom was modern, clean and big.
WiFi was available in the room with good signal strength, but the speed was quite slow. It was still the best we had in Myanmar though, as internet speeds seem to be a general problem in this country.
Breakfast was included and was buffet style consisting of coffee, juice, several hot Asian food (5 or 6 different ones), toast and jam, and fruits and cookies.
The staff were helpful and helped us book a driver for a tour of the 3 ancient cities, bus to Bagan, and taxis.
Location of the hotel is OK, very close to the Air Asia free shuttle bus drop off point and the train station and only a few blocks from the Zegyo market. For all the attractions like Mandalay Hill, Pagodas and Palace you'll need a taxi though which reception is happy to call for you.

convenient hotel in city center

We stayed at the hotel for just one night and left very early in the morning to catch a ferry. For this it was convenient as it is very close to the point where the AirAsia shuttle bus from the airport dropped us off. The room was clean, spacious and the bathroom was also very okay. The window in the room in the showed a construction site but you do not get a room in central Mandalay to enjoy the view, so it didn't bother us. WiFi worked instantly, just don't expect large bandwidth even in cities in Myanmar. The hotel staff was very nice but we didn't need them for any inquiries so I can't rate their helpfulness. The reason I do not give 5/5 is that there was nothing which exceeded my expectations or anything special to make the stay particularly enjoyable. But on the upside, there was nothing disturbing and nothing which did not met my expectation. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a conveniently located hotel in central Mandalay who is looking for a fair deal.

駅、ゼージョー市場ともに徒歩で10分以内。インド人エリアと中国人エリアの境にある感じで周囲に飲食店が多い。ホテル自体はできてからかなりの年数がたっていると思われるが、掃除などは行き届いている。バスタブもついているが、自分の泊まった部屋はなぜか夜はぬるま湯しか出ず、お湯につかるのは朝～夕方に限られた。水量もあまり多くない。朝食はそれほど種類は多くないが、日によってはモヒンガーがあったりして10日余りの滞在で飽きることはなかった。フロントも総じてサービスがよく、レンタルバイク、車での1日ツアー手配などもやってくれる。自分は便の関係でホテルを14時に出て空港に向かったのだが、13時半まで部屋を追加料金なしで使わせてくれた。
雰囲気的には20年くらい前のタイの中級ホテルといった感じだが、トータルで言えばかなりお値打ちのホテルだとも思う。

Het hotel is goed gelegen en de service is uitstekend. Kamer was ruim en net en de opmaak verliep vlot en correct. Er is een wisselkantoor in het hotel dat de juiste koers toepast. Wij waren hier vijf nachten en zouden er terugkomen. Het restaurant is niet op het niveau van de andere diensten. Meestal waren de gerechten lauw, ook bij het ontbijt. En je krijgt niet wat het menu vermeldt: vervang vegetable door ajuin vb backed fish with celeri = vel gestoofde ajuin met wat groene bonen en weinig uitgedroogde vis - kip met basilicum = veel ajuinen, paprika en bonen geen basilicum en weinig kip.
