A small boutique hotel ran by a husband and wife team, who take great care to give you the best service they can. They engage with you whenever they are around. The rooms are traditional style with lots of nice extra touches. The staff offer to spray your room every night against mosquitoes and couldn't be more helpful. We only ate in the hotel as there was nowhere else suitable locally for tourists as the hygeine standards are very low outside the hotel. The hotel was beautifully clean, there were handwashing facilities in the restaurant and in the garden should you chose to eat outside. The view over the Irrawaddy river was wonderful and particularly the sunset. The owners are currently doing up a boat so they can offer dining on the boat and expand their business and I am sure this will be worthwhile for them. We had the best room in the hotel, nearest the river upstairs at the end of the balcony. No complaints there. The food was exceptional, service wonderful, the staff even got up early (at 5.00am) on our departure day to ensure we had breakfast. Highly recommend for food, or for accommodation. We would consider returning because it was so good, but would say the only thing missing for us was a swimming pool (however small).

Would definitely recommend going here! We found it to be a very relaxing place and hundreds of white stupas were beautiful! A nice place to relax if you have time sit down in the shade and read a book!

In 1857 it was built as a palace for king Mindon. Beautifully decorated at 5 levels worth intricate and exquisite wood carvings the wooden palace has survived and is worth a visit. It has 4 entrances and a prayer hall as the king donated it as a monastery. It is still a monastery but monks live across the road. UNESCO supported restoration is on with several local people trained in carving.

The pagoda itself makes a very pleasant impression both outside and inside. There are no tourists, some locals. Near the pagoda there is a small market where you can buy local perfumes - wooden blocks, or living owls ... I wonder why they sell owls?

After one of the pagodas in Yangon, this was one of the top sites we saw on our trip. It gets very hot and there are steps to walk but it was well worth it. If you're good at taking pictures, this is worthy of going to for some awesome pictures when in Mandalay.
