Nice, not luxury

I decided to spend my birthday and the New Year’s Eve at this hotel and I booked the suite. Unfortunately at my arrival I understood that the most expensive room was just wider and it was not luxury as expected, especially when sold at 180 €/night, one of the most expensive in Mandalay. The staff was extremely kind and changed my room the next day for a better one, which I could book for almost half of the price, they also partially compensated inviting us for dinner and taking care of our dirty laundry. But the deal was no exciting for our expectations. Excellent rooftop for sunset Location is not excellent to to visit the city and neighbourhood is creepy.

Hotel/staff/value: Excellent. Location: Fair

The Hotel overall, the staff, the quality of the food, the room, the pool, and of course, the rooftop sky bar, were great. The sunset view is amazing and you'll struggle to find a better view over the river in Mandalay. As far as value for money goes, I cannot fault the hotel at all, especially the wonderful staff!! The only (very minor) down side was the surrounding area; the dredging of the river over the road, the fish market down the street. Locals told me its not the safest area at night, or most aesthetically pleasing area... especially if you dont like fish! Having said that, that's a reality of Myanmar that we came to see, so we didn't mind. We took taxi's/tuk-tuks out to see the sights. The hotel itself is great, but be aware it's location may not be to everyone's taste.

non la migliore esperienza in Myanmar

Ho prenotato due camere con balcone, ma ce ne hanno assegnata solo una, dicendo che l'altra non era disponibile. Non ci hanno nemmeno rimborsato la differenza di prezzo che ci spetterebbe, avendoci assegnato una stanza senza balcone. Poi c'è stato un blackout elettrico e l'ascensore non ha funzionato per più di 24 ore, costringendoci a fare più volte 5 piani di scale. L'ubicazione dell'albergo è nella zona del lungofiume, in teoria, ottima, in pratica, nella peggiore zona della città.

Hotel with a nice view but that's all

We enjoyed the view on the terrace for the sunset. The staff is very nice. But this hotel isn't the best place to stay in Mandalay because it's getting old now. It's far from downtown, no restaurant outside next to the hotel. The place is very noisy at every hour of the day. So I wouldn't recommend to stay there.

Pleasant hotel away from mainstream.

Being out of the way means every trip starts with haggling over taxi fares, which might or might not be your cup of tea. For me metered taxis and the use of those meters makes for a pleasant trip. Arguing over fares for every trip does not, particularly so, when first asking price is often ten times or more the normal price.

Great Sky Bar River View

The sky bar view of the river & the sourrounding city is awesome. Staff are very friendly & helpful. Buffett is good. Hotel is clean but the downside is that the shower in my room is no pressure at all. Their bathrooms need to be upgraded & their fitness area. I think this hotel has a lot of potentials, just need to remodel the bathrooms specially.

Brilliant views, a bit distant from the city

The distance from the city is the only major drawback but there is a taxi man on site to get you around. On the other hand it's within easy walking distance of the departure point for the Irrawaddy ferry. Rooms excellent apart from poor showers and staff very helpful.

Not a great stay

The hotel location is near the river front. However, the area is not developed. If they have developed the place into a night spot for tourists, it would be fantastic. The Sky Bar has a great view of the river but it is very hot in the evening. It would be fantastic to provide some kind of cover for the visitors against the sun.

Very good hotel. Location is +/-

We had a very enjoyable 3 night stay at Ayarwaddy River View Hotel. The location is upside/downside. It's right across the street from the river so great sunset views, and close (1.2 km) to the arrival point for boats coming from Bagan as well as very close (500 meters) to the "tourist jetty" for boats to Mingun. Downside of the location is that it's pretty far removed from most of the restaurants where most foreign travelers typically go. But taxis are readily available at the hotel and pretty cheap. The rooftop "Sky Bar" is great. Lovely space, sunset views, free daily cocktail (generally rum/whiskey sour) and a free xylophone player from 7 - 8 p.m and free marionnette show from 8 - 9 p.m. We also had dinner there our first night and it was very good. The room was very nice. Comfortable beds, good curtains, good shower/tub combo, lock box. We were 4th floor city view so not too noisy with street noise etc. The wifi was strong and reliable but the air con was a bit weak. Breakfast was very good with an excellent selection of western and Asian choices. A stand-out was the service. In general we felt the staff members in all locations were very attentive, friendly, courteous, and couldn't do enough for us. All in all it was a good choice of hotel, although another time we would also consider other options closer to the hub.
