Hotels With Pools in Mandalay, Myanmar

Don't expect anything from the local Five Star News. The hotel's facilities and decoration are similar to those of ordinary hotels. When checking in, the floor is not air-conditioned and it is very stuffy. The check-in process is also a long time and it feels that the management is chaotic. The breakfast is hardly delicious. The only thing that is commendable is that the high-rise view is very good, overlooking the city, after all, it is almost the tallest building in Mandalay.

The room was clean, comfortable, and met our expectations. The breakfast was excellent, with a great variety of choices. However, the front desk service could be improved. One staff member, Banyan, was rather rude and unprofessional, repeatedly asking the same questions even after we had answered them. We tried their spa service as shown in the photo. It was okay, probably could seek for better massage outside. Overall, a great hotel with excellent room quality and breakfast, but the front desk service needs some improvement.

Location, amazing. Ambiance, great. While the service and staff are excellent, but sadly the place is under maintenance. Perhaps it was because of significant reduction of guests in Bagan. Breakfast was good. Room services was good. The hotel graciously allowed us to check in early, but I found that the toilet and towels were not cleaned properly. I alerted the front desk and they immediately cleaned the room. Another issue related to the toilet was the permanent stain on the wall and floor, and also the very low water pressure. For that price and the cleanliness, I got a bit frustrated.

Location is the king. You can walk from the hotel to most places in old bagan. Hotel is just beautiful, gardens are eye candy. Cleanliness is questionable, I guess because throwing things on the floor is just normal in cultural way, as well as dust and spider webs are just part of the nature :) Food is 10-40k, a bit more expensive then average. Massage is good, 30/40k for 1/1.5 hours. Staff is unbelievable friendly and helpful!, they can easily forget something, but would try their best to help you.

I'm so glad I splurged and chose this hotel—it's worth every penny! It's right among ancient temples, within walking distance and visible from the restaurant and pool (there are two pools, the second one is large, perfect for swimming). There's an observation tower nearby, from which you can watch the sunrise and sunset for $5. The grounds are spacious and decorated in traditional style, with carved wooden decorations. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and they were so helpful with any questions we had! They checked us in early upon arrival, helped us buy bus tickets to Yangon, exchange money, and booked a tuk-tuk for a day of temple-hopping (the driver was excellent, taking us along his own route and showing us even more than I had planned). We had two delicious meals at the restaurant. We also enjoyed the breakfast. In the evenings, they set out tables by the pool and host concerts. I highly recommend it!

I stayed at Holidays Pier Hotel for 2 days during my business trip on November 2025 . The room was beautifully and clean. The location was perfect with city view. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a comfortable stay. However, the air conditioning in our room was a bit noisy. Overall, it was a delightful experience.

Amazing service from the personnel that help me to book a taxi in the early morning. DISCLAMER: Grab doesn't work at early morning in Mandalay. PLEASE keep Cash in order to payba taxi to reach the airport. To improve the rennovation of the rooms

Very convenient and safe. You can directly book various activities at the front desk. The hot water supply is quite stable (though the maximum temperature isn't super high). There's someone sleeping by the entrance at night, which makes you feel pretty secure.

It’s all very good, that is, there is a problem with the POS machine at the front desk. The first payment cannot be confirmed. I paid the second time. After I checked out, I returned the first one to me. The hotel is not very familiar with these processes.

Very distinctive built environment, divided by Myanmar heritage area. The room is spacious and decorated with teak wood. I like it most on the second floor balcony. The swimming pool was very clean, but unfortunately it was a little cold when I went there. Praise their restaurant, dessert is not recommended. The overall service is very good, it is a very high-end choice of Bagan
