5-Star Hotels in Mandalay, Myanmar

Unless you are an expert in the details of the single pagoda, the ultimate Asian beauty in Bagan must be the moment of watching the sunrise at the ”Namint Viewing Platform”, but this place is too ”remote”. It is almost integrated with the Ao Lun Palace Hotel, hidden deep in the heart of the Bagan Pagoda, far away from the ancient city of Bagan and the railway station and bus station. It takes courage to drive a motorcycle on a deserted road to the viewing platform at 4 am, but as long as you stay in Ao Lun Palace, you can walk to the pagoda in 5 minutes at sunrise and sunset. The planning of the Ao Lun Palace Hotel and the villa buildings on the 1st and 2nd floors can be called a masterpiece of garden art. The open breakfast space can directly overlook the swimming pool, lotus pond and pagoda on the shore. It is really an invincible experience. The room layout is completely decorated in the traditional style of the Bagan Kingdom. The front desk reception is warm and thoughtful. I guess the motorcycle I rented is roughly the employee's own. This trip was when the war in Mandalay broke out again, and there were not many tourists, which was an unforgettable experience.

The Hotel is quiet old. Our room has some broken floor. However, we really appreciate with warm welcoming from the staffs, polite and friendly front and coffee shop staff, the quiet and nice atmosphere (we can walk around the very wide nice clean hotel compound both in the morning and evening), wide and spacious room and bathroom, nice traditional buffet breakfast (even there's not much choice but we had more than full stomach) and especially they have very tasty traditional hot milk-tea. It is like honeymoon-like-stay for us.

The hotel is very quiet in the mountains, from the hotel to the waterfall, 10 km from the city center of Bin Ulun, you need to call the city from the hotel to the city center, cost 12000MMK. It is about 70 kilometers from Mandalay International Airport and is driven for one and a half hours at a cost of 45,000 MMK. The view is very good, the balcony of the room can see the waterfall and the sunrise and sunset, but there is no other facilities around, it is a little isolated, eat and drink in the hotel restaurant, or call the car to the city center. The facilities in the house feel that the general level, there is no hot water shower, this is very embarrassing, may be the solar energy used in the mountains? ...... Breakfast and food I can only say that compared with the city of Mandalay is also a relatively normal level, not difficult to eat, but it is also like that. The service was good, because the car arrived at the airport at 6 o'clock in the morning, the breakfast did not start, but it was very intimate to pack some food.
