Royal Diamond Hotel

“Mukava ja hyvä hotelli”

Jäin 2 yötä Business Mandalay. Erinomainen tilanne, Royal Diamondin edessä, tarjoaa hyvän palvelun erittäin suuren huoneen, mukavan sängyn, täydellisen buffetaamiaisen. Wifi ei voi työskennellä jopa yhden minuutin huoneessani, kun se on erittäin voimakas korotusten edessä. Tunsin koko yön hyttyset.… lisää

Relatively cheap if compare to other hotels with this standard. Considering its location and accomodative staffs towards guests, a comfy bed, working hot shower & good breakfasts, this hotel in my opinion is one of the good place to stay that's worth the money in Mandalay. As I entered and check-in at the reception, I was greeted with friendly & welcoming staffs. I was quite lucky when I visited this hotel because coincidently they were having promotion at much cheaper price which I then decided to stay for more than a week. I'm not entirely sure when or how often they have their discount promotion, but it's best to call them to find out more. Apart from the receptionist (both morning and night shifts), other staffs doesn't seems to speak that much English, so I had to communicate in Burmese with them instead. The room that I stayed was on the 1st floor and the carpet and walkway was well maintain yet clean. The house keeping clean and vacuum them daily in the morning. House keeping was efficient, friendly and respectful fowards your privacy and needs, however at some of the floor there seems to have broken paints and some moist stains on the wall, presumably due to the rain season. Apart from that, their staffs would greet you whenever you entered and exit the hotel which is another positive point. You may request for a higher floor as you'll get a better city view but there's no elevator in this hotel. This hotel is located just in front of Mandalay Diamond Plaza, a place so convenient to get almost every daily necessities and entertainment. From huge supermarket & amazing Season Bakery located at basement floor to jewelries at ground floor, from varieties of restaurants to clothing & professional saloon. There's also 2D & 3D Cinema at 5th floor as well. Since it's located within the central Mandalay City, transportation and taxis are not an issue at all. Just know that most of the price quote by the taxis can be negotiated to reduce a little. The hotel does provide rental bicycles & motorbikes transportation as well. Train Station is also nearby roughly about 5-10 minutes away. Dispite being located within the city, there's no loud traffic noises at night. The bed was very comfy, clean, all their facilities in the room worked properly & their buffet breakfast was quite satisfying. Most days they serves local fried noodles, fried rice, some vege or curry, soup and fruits, etc alternatively. Toast bread, eggs , coffee, tea and cordain drink are served daily. WiFi is also available in this hotel but most of the time is very slow. One of the main good thing is that this hotel strictly prohibit guests from bring in any "Female Friend" outside into your room, if you know what I mean. So this place is very suitable for families with kids traveling with them. :) Almost all the hotels that I've stayed in Myanmar gave terrible exchange rated at their reception. But lucky for you, there's a booth counter of the Local Bank Money Changer at the main entrance (Ground Floor) of Diamond Plaza opposite your hotel. Their exchange rates are very reasonable and will close around 4pm - 4.30pm so be sure to visit before that time if you're in need. Overall, this is a great hotel considering the price which costs nearly as cheap as the price of a guest house but has the efficiency and quality of a proper local hotel, moreover their friendly polite staffs makes you feels very welcome. Not to mention it's location and convenience especially for family trips and budget travellers.

Would definitely recommend it. Very friendly and helpfull staff. No loud noises at night and comfy bed. Good location, near royal palace and drop off point of the air asia free shuttle bus (15/20 minutes walk). Also good price ($22 pnight) for Myanmar, fits our backpacking budget.

Pros: - location, close to the center and royal palace, lots of places to eat nearby. - very comfy beds. - friendly staff. - fairly cheap - breakfast included Cons: - old and ugly. - crappy shower - views to a wall - bad exchange rate in the reception.
