Fodor's Expert Review Ayarwaddy River View Hotel
Strand Rd. between 22nd and 23rd Sts., Strand Rd. becomes Myo Pat Rd. and 22nd becomes Pinya, Mandalay, Myanmar
Set right along the river, this hotel offers a nice alternative to the luxury behemoths and boxy city hotels. Separating the hotel from a river is a large, busy road, so the views are best appreciated from the hotel's rooftop, where you can take in the sunset with a complimentary cocktail in hand (free drinks for happy hour is the best deal in Mandalay). Rooms are simple but tastefully decorated in local style, well-proportioned, and have comfortable beds. City facing rooms can be noisy and earplugs are recommended. From the hotel, it's a straight shot along 22nd Street to Mandalay Palace.
