Hotel by the Red Canal

Clean and comfortable place for two nights in Mandalay. Restaurant is good, like the flavored waters and the fresh passion fruit juice at breakfast. They try hard with the poolside drinks and tea hour. But because the pool made our skin itch we wouldn’t stay here again. We picked the place because it had a pool, very important to us. In Bagan before Mandalay the pool was great and after in Inle our pool was great. But this one was miserable to swim in because of the itchy water. We tried it twice and both times, itchy immediately. The level of service of the staff is top notch, whoever has trained them does an amazing job. They all are so on top of everything it was pretty amazing to see. They literally jump up to be attentive. May is especially outstanding. Our shower tub pooled water/stopped up, but luckily there was a second shower on our patio so we used that instead.

Really nice hotel, beautifully furnished and great, helpful staff. Small, decent gym, good WiFi, and good breakfast. Also free coffee or tea offered in the afternoon. I would definitely stay again.

The hotel is a lovely property and the staff were particularly helpful. There were 3 things that I found particularly disappointing. Firstly, the food and beverage services at the Spice Garden (breakfast and dinner) were very ordinary. The coffee and tea were awful, the breakfast very average quality. One evening meal I had the food equally poor, especially considering the USD prices charged. Along the same lines, the spa prices were western prices in USD - a 1 hour treatment charging USD50 (did not use so cannot comment on the quality, but this seems ridiculous in Myanmar). The other disappointment was the one window to the room faced on to a grungy building which meant no natural light at all to our room. If they could improve the F&B quality then I would probably give this place a 5 rating.

Bra lokasjon, god mat. Dyr drosje service lei drosje heller på gaten enn å bruke hotellets taxi service

Hotel by the red canal is a very charming hotel, well situated near Mandalay palace. Although the room are a bit small and dark (but the other side room may be with more light), they are full of nice attention from the employees which is suite appreciable. The pool is nice and the restaurant also. Overall a very good stay !

Hôtel de charme très agréable et bien situé. Déco sympa ! Personnel attentif, bon restaurant et excellent petit déjeuner ! Petite piscine très agréable pour se relaxer après une journée de visite. Petit massage offert dans un spa original. Seul bémol : la taille de la chambre qui est un peu petite alors que nous avions une suite...

Nice, boutique. oasis-like hotel. Great, friendly, helpful staff. Really enjoyed our stay.

I doubt i will ever stay elsewhere in mandalay... After several disappointing choices i happened across this place and it was just wonderful albeit pricey for mandalay.

A well run, nice little hotel.

Little gem in the center of mandalay. Peaceful and elegant, attention to detail. Really wonderful.
