This former residence is beautifully maintained and oozes atmosphere. The management offers excellent service, the rooms are comfortable and the meals were well-presented and good. All of this is very difficult given the current situation in the country. We also enjoyed relaxing by the pool in the lush tropical gardens. We had booked a deluxe room which was large, clean... more

I have just returned from one of my best trips ever - one week in Yangon, Inle Lake and Bagan. In Yangon I stayed at the Governor's Residence one night before and after the trip and it was a treat. The moment I stepped over the entry (with the sound of a welcoming gong) I was sure to have made... more

Yes if the bed were a bit softer, the lock easier to open quietly and a bit less like a transit camp I'd give it 5 points, the great relaxed atmosphere is enhanced by the laid back colonial style and superb friendly staff and great food.

Booked The Governor's Residence (formerly known as the Pansea Yangon) on the recommendation of a friend, via email. Received a response to our initial and subsequent emails quite promptly. We stayed 3 nights in early February 2007. Requested an early check-in, which the hotel acknowledged, but was not able to guarantee, however, on the day, I was able to check-in... more

Set in beautiful gardens in the embassy district, this hotel is a short taxi drive away from the centre of Yangon or the famous Shwedagon Pagoda. Our room featured wonderful polished teak wood floors and furniture, with stylish seating. At night the hotel gardens were decorated with lights and parasols. Golden carp and turtles swam in the ponds. A truly... more
