Find Hotels in Mawlamyine, Myanmar

The location is perfect but it’s the personal the best! I didn’t book anything and I went to the travel agency the didn’t do nothing for me, not commercial at all. I explained this to the personnel and they hooked for me a driver to do a trek around Mawlamyine and booked my bus ticket and the taxi ! You don’t need a guide to discover around Mawlamyine and I will recommend the driver of the Cinderella hotel. He’s so nice, Very generous ! So I will recommend this hotel in 100% !

Our stay at this hotel was rather short, due to the worst traffic jam ever encountered in Myanmar, a 4.5 hour standstill from 9pm to 1.30am near Kyondo, Kayin State along the main Myawady to Hpa-an highway due to a major Kayin full moon festival. So after arriving at the hotel at 4.10am after a 10 hour drive from Myawady (normally a 3.5-4.5 hour journey depending on road conditions), we were rightfully exhausted. Fortunately staff were on duty and very professional, check-in was quick and we were whisked to our rooms (only two of us booked online, the other members of our party walked-in). Breakfast was quite good, lots of choices at the buffet and the pool looked fantastic, unfortunately we didn't have time to use it as we had to be on our way for our business meetings etc. and thus checked out at 10am. Next time I'm in Mawlamyine, I'll stay here again. Only slight disadvantage is it's location - without a car, it's a bit far from town (around 10-15min drive) though I assume there is some public transport nearby given the hotel is located along the main Mawlamyine highway and near the railway station. Note that this hotel's rates are much cheaper on Agoda than walk-in rates.

This hotel is really great. The boss is a very nice lady, who cares for everybody, so you really feel at home. Probably that's why the atmosphere is so great. The whole staff is very attentive, the rooms are clean, the garden is like an oasis. It's no problem, that the hotel is a little bit out of town, because they always arrange cheap taxi transports. They also offer lunch and dinner in the restaurant, which is really delicious. We've spent two weeks in Myanmar and that was definitley our best hotel!

The basic rooms are tiny, with not much more space than what the bed occupies. The linen appeared not to have been washed in between guests and had bugs, though seems like they weren't bed bugs as there were no bites. The staff was okay, no problems. You do need to leave the key when you go out and they close the doors around 10:30pm, though this is okay as there is really not much to do in Mawlamyine. Great location, right on the sea.

I wonder what people complain about. It's not the Hilton but I didn't pay for this kind of service either. Pros: - Didn't have to ask for breakfast, it was served both days and was delicious and in big portions - Cheap - Next to the train station and pagodas' hill (perfect to enjoy the sunset); shops and street food across the street - The staff would do their best to help Cons - no wifi but who cares? With telenor you get a SIM card for 1500 kyats and an internet plan of 2Gb for 6000 kyats! Worth going to smaller hotels for the rest of your trip - no window in the room so it was hotter in this tiny 1-person bedroom than outside (the only downside as far as I'm concerned) - Far from the city centre, night market, etc. but it's nothing special anyway I recommend this place and I would go again!

The owner, who speaks a little bit English and the staff are very friendly and helpful. But the a part of the hotel (there are 3 different buildings within 100m distance) is quite noisy. Trucks hunks quite often during the night. No hot shower, bathroom very basic. I killed 4 cockroaches during one night. Not talking about the aunts. Ok, aunts are not a problem, but 4 cockroaches in the room? The location is good if you travel by train. But the city is quite far away. US 30.- was definitely too much for the room.

Mawlamyine is seriously lacking in accommodation options. If you can't get a room at the Cinderella, I'd consider this to be the next best option. It's a bit farther from the main part of town (about 20 minutes walking) but it's a nice walk along the river or cheap motorcycle taxi ride. My room was huge, strong air conditioning, and I was satisfied with the western bathroom (at the time I was the only one using it). NO WIFI.

We finished our three week long trip in Myanmar with a couple of nights at the Attran Hotel in Mawlamyine. Attran Hotel has a prime location right next to the river. Our room was large and well maintained with a new air conditioning, the bathroom had new wall tiles and new sanitary ware with design taps. The restaurant was very good. It also had a large outdoor veranda where dinner or a beer could be enjoyed with river views watching sunset. The hotel has a new dedicated management since half a year back. The service kept a trim that you usually only find in more expensive hotels. We had a pleasant stay at the Attran Hotel. A very affordable hotel.

The Mawlamyine Strand Hotel was the most expensive place I lodged while in Myanmar for 24 days. I decided to splurge for one night near the end of my trip at a place that looked to offer superior comfort and cleanliness. I was not disappointed in these areas. The room was clean and spacious. The bed and pillows were the most comfortable of all the places I stayed in Myanmar. The bathroom was clean for the most part, but like every place I stayed the shower had some slight mold and the fixtures looked unclean. Despite the shower enclosure, the shower water leaked into the rest of the bathroom. The shower stall needed a thorough cleaning and better fixtures to be up to international standards. The food and cocktails were not exceptional. I suggest seeking out food and drinks elsewhere. The staff was very attentive and kind, but English is not spoken other than at reception. So the bar and restaurant staff struggled with questions about food, etc. I did enjoy watching the sunset from the outdoor bar and then going up to the hallway outside my room to watch the final sunset colors fade over the water.
