In Mandalay, choice is a little difficult, every hotelhas its weakness and advantage.
To summarized :
Rupar Mandalar 4****: very fine small 4**** hotel with very good room, huge swimming pool, service, spa etc... the most expensive in Mandalay, but very good, small enought not to feel to be in a big hotel. A little far from downtown (10 minutes by car, but Mandalay is not a city you visit by foot).
Mandalay Hill and Sedona 4****: two good big international 4**** hotel, nothing to complain, all service, rooms are confortable, the hotels are not charming but they are well located and without any trouble. Not funny but very confortable.
Swan 3*** : big three stars hotel, very well located close to the Sedona, not charming also, some rooms (renovated) are good, other ones really less. A lot of group tour. Not charming, sometimes noisy, a lot of group tour.
Mandalay city 3***: well located downtwon, quiet, modern, rooms are clean, modern and good (somes are closed to the generator and little dark). Not charming but good quality price ratio. Restaurant is good but mood is terrible, swimming pool very small
Red Canal 3**** : Charming, nice style, not too far from down town, good atmospere, but tiny room (well decorated), smal swimming pool (very small), very expensive.
Ayarwaddy river view 2** : A lot of down town, near the Ayerwaddy river, new hotel (July 2011), a lot of service, internet wifi, new rooms, clean, quiet, and a very nice view on the river. Will be a strong contender for other 2** and 3*** hotels in Mandalay.
Silver star 2** : modern, down town, cheap for the quality, clean room, air con, etc... absolutely no charm, noisy until 22h00 (street noise), but cheap, offer a lot for the price (and the same kind of hotels, same price in Mandalay are even worst).
Other 2** or 3*** in mandalay are usually modern, not charming at all, could be noisy as Mandalay is a quite noisy place.
Mandalay is a very hot and dusty city, this is a place where you may want to pay a more to have a quiet room and a functional air con (+ electricity).

Rupar Malar hotel
Category : 4 stars charming boutique hotel.
Brand new (2006) 4 stars hotel in Mandalay. Very well decorated, superbe spa and suite,
it is by far the most charming hotel in this category in Mandalay. A little far from the city, but it is a very good small 4*** star hotel, restaurant is excellent.
The hotel has only 10 deluxe rooms and 3 huge familly suite (with 3 bedrooms), you may feel alone ..... (only 10 room) but service, restaurant and rooms are really good.

Mandalay hill
resort
Category : 4 star
Probably the hotel that offers the most in Mandalay with the Sedona. A pity
that it wastes a little the landscape on the hill of Mandalay,
from the hotel the view is very nice. A little far from the
city, you must get a taxicab. The comfort of a modern international 4**** stars hotel. Superior rooms have a little small bathroom, better to take the deluxe room with the pagoda view. Good buffet diner (outside) in winter.

| Mandalay Swan Category
: 3 star
A good 3 star hotel . Swimming pool, quiet , could be a very good hotel but rooms need a very fresh paint and cleaning. Some rooms have been renovated, some not. It could be a very good hotel in this category, a lot of group, check the rooms (renovated or not) before check in.

 |
| Mandalay City Hotel
Category : 2 - 3 star
A new hotel in Mandalay (opening October 2004) and a strong
competitor for
the Swan. Very clean room, nice, very friendly staff, bigger
room than at the Swan. The hotel is more quiet than the Swan and the deluxe rooms (modern) very good. Try to avoid some superior rooms near the generator (as in all the small hotels).

|
| Ayarwaddy river view Hotel
Category : 2 - 3 star
A new hotel in Mandalay (opening July 2011), everything is new, free wifi in the hotels, rooms are quite big and clean, quiet air con etc.... The hotel is located not so far from the river, it is not a big problem in Mandalay (nothing special downtown), view on the river from the roof top restaurant is superb, prices are good (not cheap but very competitive with Mandalay city, Emerald Land and Swan). An hotel that we recommend.

| Red Canal Hotel
Category : 3 star
A nice charming hotel located not so farm for the city center. The hotel has nice very well decorated rooms, it is a small hotel with nice decoration and a good atmosphere. Rooms are tiny and quite (very expensive), not convenient for a familly or even difficult to put an extra bed, swimming pool is very small.

Royal City Hotel
Category : Good 2 stars hotel
One of our favourite hotel since its opening, we were here
the first day. An excellent quality/price ratio, very friendly
staff, big clean room, good localisation. Air con is window type air con, could be noisy during the hot seaon (february -June) when you really need air con in Mandalay. A very good choice anyway in this category. |
|
Peackock lodge
Category : very good 1 star hotel - GH-
This hotel is on the eastern part of Mandalay (62 street), not so far (but before) the Woodland hotel. It is a lille easier to get a taxi from the Peacock lodge as it is closed to the main access road to Mandalay.
It is a charming place, nice welcome, nice garden (rare in Mandalay), rooms are more "moderne" than at the Woodland hotel, less charming also, we like the wood panel at the woodland (and the bigger garden).
It is nevertheless a very good choice in this range of price. |

Golden Mandalay Hotel
Category : very good 1 star hotel
Formely the Yadanar Supon hotel, this new simple but charming
hotel is a very good choice in Mandalay. It is clean, a lot
of charm and atmopshere and the owner knows very well the
city and how to manage his hotel.
Nevertheless, it is a very simple hotel, do not expect the same quality (bathroom, air con, rooms) than in a 4**** stars hotel. |
|
Woodland
Category : 1 star, very charming and relaxing place for Mandalay.
Probably the most relaxing garden in Mandalay, very charming small hotel. It is a simple hotel (1 star), with simple but clean room. The overall feeling is very good, and it is a very pleasant place to stay.

 |
Silver star
Category : 2 stars, modern hotel.
As many other hotels in Mandalay, this is a modern "tower".
At least, the SIlver Star is clean, the quality -price ratio excellent, rooms are clean with quiet air con, the overall decoration is not bad as in some other modern hotels.
It is a confortable place to stay, but it is not a charming hotel and some rooms can be noisy. Skip the breakfast to eat in a Myanmar local restaurant...
