LOCATION
Excellent location.
In the immediate vicinity of the central train station.
A 15-minute walk from Sule, with all its bus lines.
A good starting point for exploring the city on foot. Shopping centers are in the immediate vicinity.
A 30-minute taxi ride from the airport.
SERVICE
Excellent welcome and service.
Excellent attention at every moment, whether from the housekeeping staff, restaurant staff, concierge, or the gym/spa/pool staff.
PS: Please note the $200 USD security deposit required for some reservations. This should be anticipated, although it is payable by credit card (check if this option is worth according to your bank's terms and conditions applied for transaction in Myanmar).
ENVIRONMENT
Quiet and safe neighborhood.
Elegant and comfortable hotel. Harmonious and high-quality layout. Impeccable maintenance.
ROOM
Superior King Bed Room: Perfect for one person, with a desk area and a small sitting area.
Bright. Well laid out. Comfortable.
Very good quality bedding. Clean, high-quality linens. Spacious and clean bathroom. Hot water with good pressure. Very good Wi-Fi. Conveniently placed electrical outlets. Excellent lighting.
Luggage storage available (for one bag).
Pleasant city view.
Central air conditioning system. It worked perfectly, but I didn't find the adjustments very user-friendly.
BREAKFAST
Large dining room. Well-spaced buffet area, open from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.
Elegant dining room. I preferred the back of the room for its quietness, privacy, and comfort.
Attentive and courteous staff.
A well-stocked and varied buffet.
Yet, there was a noticeable difference in quality between the buffet, the kitchen staff, and the buffet presentation between weekdays and weekends.
Some of the glass-fronted areas in the dining room were not clean at all: cobwebs, long-standing dust, and general grime. This needs improvement, as it's not what you'd expect from a hotel of this caliber.
The buffet occupied most of my mornings; however, I'm not sure I would have wanted to pay an additional $20 USD for it if it wasn't already included in the reservation.
FACILITIES
*The hotel has all the facilities one would expect for a hotel of this standard.
In conclusion,
I benefited from a very good price offer through Trip.com, which accurately reflected the hotel's value for money.
I was truly delighted with my stay and will keep the PARKROYAL on my list of favorites for a future trip.

the location is good: from the airport it’s about half an hour by taxi (we arrived at night and departed early in the morning, so if you go during the day, it’s worth taking into account traffic jams), it’s about 15 minutes on foot to the Shwedagon Pagoda, on the road we immediately found a small place with local cuisine and both went there evenings that we were in Yangon. There is no noise from the street, because there are no establishments or shops around and the hotel is located sideways to the street. The reception was very friendly, they warned us about an early check-out in two days, prepared lunch boxes for us, called a taxi and were generally very nice. True, the money at the hotel does not change, as we expected, but we changed it upon arrival at the airport, although at a reduced rate, but we had money and this decision was correct - all two days that we were in Yangon were weekends , and all banks and other exchange offices were closed. We lived on the fifth floor, a nice spacious room with quality furniture. Very comfortable high bed, 4 pillows, which I always approve of. There is air conditioning, a safe, bathrobes and slippers. Cleaning every day, towels changed, bed linen changed every 2 days. They put a lot of supplies in the bathroom. The breakfast room is a little small, we came straight to the opening and did the right thing. However, there were a lot of people only on one day, on the second there was no one there, apparently the holidays were over and everyone had left. They give you local soup, different every day, noodles, fried eggs, toast, thoughts with cereal, sliced fruit. Not very varied, but we got our fill.

The hotel environment is nice. The room was clean and tidy, and the service was very welcoming. However, the room layout is quite different from the Mercure hotels in China, and the toiletries are not really worth looking forward to 😊

Gary Joseph HayesReview: 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.

We booked this hotel for early departure to the airport. There were less than a day, but the impression remained the best. We are very grateful that we were moved with breakfast we could not use on the day of departure, in the morning of our universe to the hotel. The breakfast was very delicious and very tired after the night shift and did not want to go looking for another cafe at all. The staff was very kind and helpful in everything.
Way-fai is weak in the hotel as is the case throughout Myanmar. The tea in the room is not available, on first request was given thermos with hot water. Shower is normal, room is spacious.
There is a cafe at the hotel where you can have lunch or dinner. Prices are moderate. We are satisfied with the price and quality ratio. Good three-star hotel. Recommend.

noppo333While the building's exterior and interior aren't particularly luxurious, everything was kept extremely clean, making for a very comfortable stay. I was impressed by the meticulous daily cleaning, and even the fact that they washed the dishes after we used them.
It's a little distance from downtown, but the surrounding area is so well-equipped that it's not inconvenient at all.
• Inside the building: There's a coffee shop and a small convenience store on the first floor, and a gym is also available.
• 2-3 minute walk: There's a supermarket and ”TeaHouse,” where you can get cheap and delicious set meals and dim sum.
• 5 minute walk: You can reach a street lined with large supermarkets and restaurants.
The room has a kitchen, allowing for simple self-catering, and best of all, it's equipped with a washing machine with a dryer, which was incredibly convenient. There was a problem with the washing machine during my stay, but the staff handled it quickly and appropriately, which was reassuring.
Everything you need for daily life is close by, making this a highly recommended hotel. I would definitely like to stay here again.

It's a true journey through time, an enchan**ent that takes you to a ship from the year 1920. Several original details, such as a clock, the minibar inside a barrel, the bluetooth speaker that imitates a record player, all the leather furniture. The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend it, without a doubt, it was a beautiful experience. The only point of the location is at night, as there is a night market that doesn't seem so safe and, despite being vintage, some small details lack maintenance such as the carpet in the room, for example

Holly hotel is very convenient if you have to stay overnight between the Mingalar highway busstation and airport in Yangon. Hotel can arrange taxi but getting your own with Grab is cheaper.
Also the restaurant on site is good for a meal but environment is not very inviting.
The beds are comfortable and hot water is available 24/7.
Nearby is Terminal shopping mall with Ocean supermarket .
If you want to go to the city centre it will take you 45min. to an hour!

I stayed for 2 days through Trip.com, then upgraded to a suite with an additional local payment. This is my third time staying at this hotel. First off, the staff are friendly, and the location is great for arrival and departure days as it's very close to Yangon Airport. However, the traffic during rush hour can be quite inconvenient. The facilities feel a bit old; the hot water is lukewarm, and most of the hotel's amenities show signs of age. But the price is very affordable, and the staff are friendly. The best part is that most rooms have a balcony, so you don't have to go outside to smoke. The lounge on the 5th floor is also convenient to use.
