old lovely renovated hotel, but security was bad. Keys left with a butler on each floor, my butler never there. Key in drawer, anyone could have got key and stolen things from my room. Dinner was not good, chicken in curry dry and hard, desert not heated up enough. Breakfast superb. Not worth the price. Gym not open 24 hours.

A suite at the Strand feels like having your very own luxury home in Yangon. The hotel is a destination in its own right and you want to make sure to make time just to take in the ambience. Don’t miss this historic site beautifully restored with contemporary comfort. The staff are extraordinarily welcoming and helpful and the butler service is like having a guardian angel or Jeeves right outside. You can discuss your plans and goals of your journey and the butler knows how to figure out everything...and mix your drink! The restaurant is wonderful too with a delicious breakfast. For lunch, be sure to sit by the window and try the mutton curry; you will feel a wave of complete contentment settle over you.

The Treasure of Yangon!
Fantastic, dream hotel - definitely 5 star!! The staff are amazing and rooms really spacious and clean with lovely L'Occitane cosmetics. It was a real joy to stay here and the 24hr butler service is simply amazing. Nothing was too much trouble and we were treated like royalty! We made the most of the facilities - enjoyed a wonderful couples massage, swam in the lovely pool after a good day of sight-seeing and had cocktails and a game of billiards in Sarkies Bar in the evenings. Meals were really good - a lot of variety on the menus and good quality ingredients. All baked goods are made on the premises and we had authentic French croissants and breads everyday. Ideally located within easy access of major tourist sites. Local and hotel taxis are readily available.

Beautiful character in this hotel and the staff are so welcoming. I tested out the newly opened spa and the treatment was fabulous with such attention to detail by the staff.

Lovely stay in strandon.
A fantastic hotel with a nice room, luscious breakfast and friendly staff. The location is a bit far away from some spots. If you are a night stall food person, you can taste the food at night. I am fond of the reception area, full of colonial styles and the decorations make Yiu feel relaxed surely. The bar is spectacle and you can take a nap with high quality drinks in your hand after a walk in the city. Dun worry, all the staff are so willing to provide you with advice and suggestions.

Renovated Colonial style hotel from 1901 run to perfection by Mark the ops manager. Fantastic staff, the butler service is warm and executed perfectly. Rooms are roomy, bright with great beds and a nice bar. The Strand Café is a great cafe, not to miss for afternoon tea! A must do in Yangon. The Strand Restaurant had a 4 course set dinner in French style and both well presented and great tasting. A great wine list. For sure one of the better hotels in the world!!

Nice Hotel centrally located
Beautiful hotel and completely renovated recently. Great outdoor pool and a terrific spa menu. Did not dine at Hotel but they 2 venues. A top class restaurant and an equally impressive coffee shop with informal dining. The rooms were large with butler service on the 2nd floor. Breakfast room service was stupendous. Will definitely recommend to others.

Nice Colonial hotel -renovated nicely.
There is 2 restaurants. One is a very nice one and the other more of a casual café type. The food was not the best at the casual restaurant. need to improve the food. Location is great in Yangon and easy to get around the area.

Wonderful hotel
This is a luxurious hotel that reeks of its colonial heritage. The staff are always on hand to help and we thoroughly enjoyed having the butler service. Hotel facilities are good with an excellent pool and garden to provide relief from the hustle and bustle of the city. We ate in the hotel cafe one evening and this was excellent and surprisingly good value for a luxury hotel. Our room was on the front looking towards the river although you don’t actually see the river. This does mean a lot of traffic noise from the lorries entering the port - usually with a loud blast on the horn right outside our window. This was the only disadvantage and it goes on well into the night.

Classic beauty with old world charm
The Strand is a classic British colonial hotel. It exudes that old feel, including butlers for each floor, lovely little petit fours on our bed at night and large suites with a walk in closet. Walking distance are 2 very good restaurants- Rangoon + Monsoon. And one can do an architectural walking tour of colonial Rangoon from the hotel.

Harks back to the British colonial times
The beautifully restored Strand is a wonderful oasis after a day of sightseeing in a very busy city of Yangon. Cold towel, refreshing fruit drink and bowl of fruit in the room are a welcome sight after a long flight. The rooms are large, but could use brighter lighting. The bathroom adequate, the shower stall small and the hot water was not always hot enough and the pressure weak, but overall the hotel offers great ambiance. Throughout, B/W photos document the long-gone events. It is located just a few blocks from the 2,000-year-old Sule Pagoda, the Independence square, the City Hall and the Law Court. Definitely would stay here again.

a life lesson.
having stayed in Yangon and visiting for 5 days, you learn to appreciate life and respect people, the local still making 3 - 4 usd a day and there is a lot catching up to do in their living condition. The Strand management should do better in the maintenence of the hotel, rooms are old and the not thoroughly cleaned. Toilet equipments should long be upgraded and modernized. Mind you when taking shower at 0800 am, no hot water and water will run out anytime!

Fabulous
I do not usually stay in 5* hotels but I noticed a good deal, I think because it was the rainy season. We arrived at about 7.30 am after a long night bus journey. I expected to have to leave the bags and check in later. Instead we were given a lovely welcome, we were checked in given our room straight away - and upgraded in the process. Everything about the hotel was wonderful - the afternoon tea, the cocktail bar and the breakfast. I cannot comment on supper - we were too full from afternoon tea to be able to try it out. Thanks to all the staff at The Strand for being so lovely.

Time Travel to this Hotel
The Strand takes you back in time to when travel was elegant and "exotic". The hotel is beautiful and the facilities have old world charm with a modern twist. The Butler service is impeccable and the staff is attentive. The room was magnificent and large (although the shower was tiny) and full of great amenities! This was our first trip to Myanmar and won't be our last and we will definitely be staying at the Strand again.

Historic, beautiful hotel lovingly maintained.
The Strand is an historic hotel in a fairly central location in Yangon, just around the corner from the start of Pansodan Street. Built in 1903 and once the crown jewel of hotels in the British Raj, the Strand was renovated some 30 years ago and is still beautifully maintained. It is well worth staying for a night, even if it is at the upper end of one's budget, just for the experience. Some practical advice: the rates go way down in the rainy season, when travelers are fewer. I got a suite with a double bed and sitting room, 30 ft. high ceilings, separate bath, washroom and toilet, turndown servce and complimentary drink for under $100/night. During the rainy season the restaurant is closed, though August, but the bar (good) and cafe (excellent) are still open. Some downsides: there are probably too many staff. There is a butler's desk on each floor, where one hands in the key when leaving the building. There are always 2-3 staff around the desk, more than necessary in my opinion, but the staff are very polite, well-trained and unobtrusive. The rooms are almost too big for a single traveler. These are minor complaints, though. Everyone visiting Myanmar should make the Strand part of their experience, even if just for a drink in the bar.

This is the first time I have come to Yangon Myanmar. the Staff helped me pick up a few hotels for my next few city to visit and airline tickets, especially when my mom she forgot to take the black rechargeable battery, they arranged the staff to go to the station to get the black rechargeable battery.

Hotel in downtown Yangon city.
I last stayed here in 1988, just before the student uprising. The Hotel was very "patched up" but the care afforded by the staff was at least as good (if not better) as my recent experience. My Expedia booking promised me an "executive suite with city views and a balcony". The suite I was given (103) faced the river which was shrouded by a building site that was across a 6 or 8 lane highway. The noise was immense and caused by endless articulated trucks bearing shipping containers whose giant exhaust pipes caused the windows to rattle and made sleeping imposible. This continued day and night. The "balcony" was the roof of the Hotel entrance portal which was covered with black and white pebbles with no furniture or respite from the noise, heat or rain. This was an extreme example of mis-selling and to have to pay £255.00 per night for this accommodation was wrong in every way.
