This former residence is beautifully maintained and oozes atmosphere. The management offers excellent service, the rooms are comfortable and the meals were well-presented and good. All of this is very difficult given the current situation in the country. We also enjoyed relaxing by the pool in the lush tropical gardens. We had booked a deluxe room which was large, clean and comfortable, as was the bathroom. The staff is fantastic and always ready to help guests to achieve a greater comfort level. The location is a quiet neighborhood setting, which is ideal during a visit to Yangon.

I have just returned from one of my best trips ever - one week in Yangon, Inle Lake and Bagan. In Yangon I stayed at the Governor's Residence one night before and after the trip and it was a treat. The moment I stepped over the entry (with the sound of a welcoming gong) I was sure to have made the right choice. The hotel as well as the rooms are in colonial style and the teak wood give it that special something. The best features for me were the very friendly staff, the great food and the pool. The room I stayed in was also very nice and spacious and given the opportunity, I will definitely stay there again. Roland, CH/Korea

Lovely "colonial" building, impressive place to walk in to !
My room was huge, had a very modern clean nice bathroom, airconditioning, large bed - everything I would have wanted !
Nice garden and pool area, lighted at night; restaurant has terrace so you can enjoy your meal outside - a perfect way to start a vacation in Myanmar !
Staff was friendly, could even pay with my creditcard.
Would always go back !

Yes if the bed were a bit softer, the lock easier to open quietly and a bit less like a transit camp I'd give it 5 points, the great relaxed atmosphere is enhanced by the laid back colonial style and superb friendly staff and great food. A quiet city location set amongst the embassy quarter in this interesting safe city in a little visited part of the world. Guests Spanish, Italian, Russian, few Brits or Americans. Nice pool but needs rails for ease of entry for the older and less able bodied guests
