It was late when we checked in and above all, we had a problem locating some of our fellow travelers. We were rushing here and there till mid night. The staff coped up with all this and had a nice packed breakfast ready to catch our early flight to Nyaung U. Rooms were very comfortable. Nothing to complain.

Mingalaba!
This is the first word you will hear upon arrival in the country and you will hear, and use, it everywhere, so you might as well learn it right up front. It is a generic greeting – hello, good morning, welcome – and the staff at the Chatrium will say ‘Mingalaba’ to you every time you walk through the door.
As other reviewers have noted, Chatrium is a bit old, but the room we had (#537) was in good condition. It was a good size, included a sofa, and was well-maintained by housekeeping for the 3 nights we were there. We noticed the first day that one of the lamps did not work, but when we mentioned it, the bulb was replaced while we were out, so no problem.
The breakfast buffet was very good – quite extensive with Western and Asian offerings, and even a cappuccino machine. Quite a lot of business was being conducted over breakfast, so this is obviously favored as a business hotel. If you have to check out at 5:00 am, as so many leisure guests do to catch the early morning flight to Bagan, it’s too early for the buffet, but you don’t have to do without breakfast. The hotel provides “breakfast boxes” in the lobby so you can eat your breakfast at the airport in the departure lounge.
We were there in early August and there were no interior renovations going on at that time, so we have none of the noise complaints that others are mentioning for more recent stays. There was some renovation going on around the pool, but we weren’t able to use the pool anyway because of the rainy weather, so those renovations did not affect us at all. It is an elegant-looking pool, so we were sorry the weather didn’t co-operate; we had been looking forward to swimming there.
There were 2 things that were mildly annoying. First, there is no store in the hotel that sells bottled water, so our first order of business after arrival was to go out to a nearby shopping center to buy water. The staff seemed surprised that we didn’t consider the 2 free bottles per day adequate, although they did up it to 3 after we had that discussion. Second, we had a “lake/pagoda view room”, which we had requested, and it did have a view of the gorgeous and nearby Shwedagon Pagoda. However, the door to the small balcony was locked, and there was a note hanging on the doorknob explaining that it was permanently locked to keep insects out. Prevented from stepping out to take good pictures of the pagoda, we were forced to shoot through glass, with less than stellar results. That was disappointing.
On the other hand, there was one other thing that was very good. We arrived with lots of dirty laundry and asked the concierge staff if there was a neighborhood laundry so we could avoid using the expensive hotel laundry service. They knew of one, called for us and our laundry was picked up that day and returned the next. The staff then explained that we had received a very good deal because they had convinced the company to give us express service at standard rates. That was nice of them.
We found the staff we encountered to be fairly good at English – at the concierge desk, the guest relations desk and in the breakfast restaurant and lobby lounge. We had no communication problems at all. Here, as everywhere in the country, the staff were always friendly and very pleasant. Overall, this is a good choice of hotel for Yangon.

Room tip: Get a "lake/pagoda view" room for views of Kandawgyi Lake and Shwedagon Pagoda.

stayed for one night each on two occasions in sep 12, the staff was extremely courteous and efficient as all other people in myanmar, hotel is fairly good, rooms are spacious and toilets are well maintained, the best part is the separate shower cubicle in addition to the tub, toileteries are good but, bath towels were not soft, breakfast menu spread leaves much to be desired especialy if u like the continental or american style breakfast, a no of chinese companies and some others have opened offices in a number of hotel rooms which at times disturbs peace may be the hotel should dedicate separate wing to offices

Room tip: choose the one facing the swimming pool

We were a little intimidated by the less-than-glowing reviews here, but we really enjoyed our one night at the Chatrium.

The Chatrium is a big, good quality hotel. While it's not up to the standard of the Strand, it is a good choice nonetheless. Its strongest point is the staff who are plentiful and very helpful. Nothing we asked of them was too much effort and they were cheerful to a fault.

Yes, there's some renovation of the poolside area going on during the day, but it's hardly a big issue as the pool is still available. I was more concerned that they did not accept credit cards for payment without a clear day's notice. For a one night stay this is impossible. More flexibility is needed here.

I'd recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a western standard hotel with good service in Yangon.

I agree with the last reviewer that the renovation noises were annoying, but overall, it was a pleasant experience if you ignored the very lengthy check-in and check-out processes, which seemed to serve little purpose.
Although the hotel does take credit cards (with a 5% surcharge), they fail to advise you that you must register your credit card with them 24 hours before you check out, so be warned! The whole of Burma is suspicious of credit cards, and it's annoying if you are short of cash without any ATMs close by.
The hotel itself though was quite good, and the staff tried sooo hard to please, and always offered a genuine smile. We found the food good, and there is a great Thai restaurant over the road, and an Indian around the corner if you feel like venturing out.
