Pros: We had a room on the 7th floor which had a panoramic view of the city. It was also spacious and comfortable, and very clean. We only stayed for one night as we moved here because, due to poor planning, the other hotels we stayed in were full. Out of the 3 hotels we stayed in on our outward and return trip to Mandalay, this was the best value.

Cons: The shower head attachment in the bath was a bit low so the jet sprayed horizontally rather than vertically which was more of a comedy than an inconvenience but, hey, they had a bath, which some might see as a huge plus.

Pros: Good breakfast. The hotel was close to the Mandalay palace but not in a walking distance.

Pros: Good location, simple rooms but have everything you need, breakfast was good.

Cons: When I tried to book an early morning taxi to the airport I was told different information from two staff members which confused things, including payment method. Wasn't sure if the second person was unsure of the system but he said I could't pay by credit card which in the end was actually possible.

Cons: The room is small, and the sheet is a little yellow.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The hotel was amazing!!! Stuff perfect they have always smile on their faces and they helped us with everything! I felt there like a king in the American movie :) Breakfast was like in great European hotel and you can choose from plenty types of food. At the end of the day on the rooftop of the hotel there is a bar with great view plus sunset and there is happy hour with one drink for free. Possible renting of bicycle for free. I have to recommend this hotel to everyone! I have to give 10 points from 10!!! Thanks a lot for everything - Djezuba!

Pros: Clean rooms

Cons: Having to change WiFi code was annoying, and not having one universal code!

Pros: Staff members were all AMAZING! Our room was upgraded and we got a really big room with lots of windows and light. Beds were super comfortable, Nice rooftop, breakfast was great!

Cons: The area outside the hotel wasn't nice; very dirty and poor. No restaurants or motorbike rentals around. Also, we didn't like that the prices were very expensive in the hotel restaurant, compared to anything else in our travels around Myanmar.

Pros: The staffs are so friendly, they made me feel very welcome. The view from the Sky Bar overlooks the river & beautiful sunset. They served free cocktail every evening so you can watch the sunset while sipping on cocktail. WiFi is super fast & it is walking distance to the jetty for our boat ride to Mingun.

Cons: The pictures on the website are different than actual. The Sky Bar although is perfect to watch the sunset but there were so many mosquitoes that my whole legs got bitten up. The bathroom looks old and side of the bathtub are rusty, would have prefer a separate shower area instead of climbing in and out.

Pros: This hotel was a very nice place to stay for a few nights in Mandalay. The rooms were comfortable, the breakfast buffet was great and the staff were super helpful and very friendly. The view from the rooftop restaurant was also very nice.

Pros: Very nice position on the river. Fantastic roof bar. Friendly staff. Large and clean room.

Pros: This is a reasonable (currently) low rise hotel, well designed, clean with acceptable food and staff. However they are building a very large high rise extension to the hotel which may well put off anyone who is looking for a smaller more compact place to stay.The building work means that it is currently very noisy during the day.

Cons: The close proximity of the building work

Pros: Great facilities, wonderful pool, very helpful staff, in particular Me. Thursday Win, who helped us organise the remaining part of our trip.

Cons: Mattresses not very comfortable. And too many mosquitoes, although there is little management can do about it, apart from providing mosquito nets (which are available to guests)

Cons: Next to a building site so very noisy

Pros: the garden and swimming pool are wonderfull very quiet and big room

Pros: A little taste of heaven: the room are very clean and comfortable, the decoration of the rooms and of the whole hotel in wood is wonderful. The facilities of the hotel are great: swimming pool, spa, gym. And finally the food of the restaurant is very good, and the breakfast is excellent

Pros: The interior of the hotel is authentic and chic. Everything was super clean. The staff was adorable and super friendly. Breakfast buffet was super. The Pool is also super nice.

Pros: The hotel was very good! They have a nice breakfast buffet and good food with huge à la carte menu, also with european dishes. The staff was very friendly and service oriented and the facilities 100% clean and spacious. The room had AC and enough space to place luggage and stuff.

Cons: The only minus point during our stay was the loud noise that comes from a big construction site right next to the hotel. For us it wasn't such a big issue as we anyhow spent most of the day on tour, but if you think about spending a relaxation holiday in Mandalay, this hotel is probably not the perfect stay - at least as long as the construction goes.

Pros: The pool was great, a little cold for this time of year though. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Food from the restaurant/room service was excellent

Cons: Bathroom had a bathtub spa however the design was not very good and was unsteady for taking a shower in. Hot water took a very long time to come through the pipes

Pros: We were very satisfied with the hotel and all the facilities. It is not only a secret place, but it is also very comfy and starting point for all the tours in and close to Mandalay. We can highly recommend the hotel Shwe Pyi Thar.

Pros: Nice pool

Cons: Bathroom, shower, water pressure, you need to wait 5 minutes to get hot water

Pros: Good value for money, friendly and very helpful staff.

Pros: Central location close to the Palace and market. Moving around was quite easy using grab app. Good local restaurants nearby too. Staff really helpful.

Pros: The hotel is well located on the 83rd/27th Street and room was comfortable with good facilities. The staff were very polite and helpful. The breakfast was good.

Cons: This hotel charges you at th eend of your stay and you need your credit card. Cash with £sterling is an issue.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Good place to visit the main highlights of Mandalay. It is close to a street market and not to far from the Mandalay Palace. Very good breakfast.

Cons: They tell us no room when check in..… don't understand what's the confirmation means

Pros: The hotel room and bathroom was so nice and such comfortable bed and sheets. The breakfast buffet was so filling and so many options! Right next to A good Thai restaurant and a market. The ladies at the front desk spoke good empanadas helped us with transportation from Mandalay. Great for the price!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Nothing.

Cons: We was said that there is no room for our booking and was transferred to other hotel at the edge of the city. This other hotel tried to charge price of booking (which is more than its own cost). We've selected Golden City Light for location with restaurants and travel agencies around, but was placed in hotel without any infrastructure around.

Pros: The staff were very helpful and helped us with bus tickets and a great day trip. The room was clean and comfortable. It was a bit noisy at night trying to sleep but it was Chinese New Year so that may have been why. Location was walkable to the palace but a fair distance

Cons: The breakfast could have used egg choices. It had many asian options but not much for westerners no western eating choices close to hotel.

Pros: Very friendly staff

Cons: The pool was under construction, this was not mentioned on the website

Pros: All the staff attitude.

Cons: the room has foul smell. House keeping use the v.strong air freshener . But can smell both .

Pros: Breakfast and bell-boy staff were excellent. Location was great with a good choice of restaurants in walking distance (next door!).

Cons: Very noisy rooms next door with drunken behaviour in the corridors throughout the last night until 4am. Our room smelled of smoke so bad we had to put Vick’s under our nose. One of our rooms was twin bed despite requesting a double bed, we were told we would be moved the next day but when we spoke to the reception manager she said they had sold the room to someone else and we’re fully booked so my parents were left sleeping on 2 single beds the entire trip. Breakfast staff were fantastic though and really helped make a poor experience better.

Pros: Overall a good stay and recommended. Had a garden room which was spacious and clean. Only downside was that they face the main walkway to and from the road and quite a lot of noise from guests coming and going. Very nice rooftop pool. Breakfast was good and staff helpful. Only there for a few hours overnight so unable to fully advise on facilities

Pros: Everything... this is the 2nd time we stayed in this hotel... and we dont mind going back again ☺️

Pros: Staff was very helpful and friendly. In the area were several restaurants and transportation with taxi or tucktuck was easy to organize in front of the gate (or for taxied at the reception).

Pros: good selection

Pros: The location was convenient

Cons: - As a foreigner I was charged more than 50% more than a local. $70 USD for me, 60,000 MMK for a local ($45 USD). - One of my towels had blood on it (I have added a photo) - The hot water in the shower didn't work in the morning even though I waited for 10 minutes and wasted a lot of water - The food for breakfast was basic If I was staying at a hostel I wouldn't have complained (except the blood), but a 3 star hotel should be better than this.

Pros: Good location that near the shopping centre that provide the necessary items.
