Converted villa with family atmosphere
Posted 25 Nov 2016
Pros: The rooms are spacious and clean. Beds comfortable. Bathroom large. The manager at the front desk will arrange taxis and negotiate the fare.
Cons: A small coffee shop on the premises would be nice.
Location: The location is within walking distance of Inya Lake. A taxi to downtown is about 3,000 kyat (US$3).
I have stayed here half a dozen times over the past couple of years. I always come back because the Excel Palace is so friendly. The property is a converted villa on the fringe of Golden Valley, and the staff are so welcoming it is rather like a second home.
There is no restaurant on the premises, but the same people own the Chinese restaurant next door, where breakfast is served free to hotel guests.
On my latest trip the hotel manager arranged a car and driver to take me to Bago for the day. The fare was 50,000 kyat (about US$50), which compared well to other prices I had seen on the internet. The driver was good, and accompanied me into the main Bago sites.
Although the hotel is really a guesthouse, the friendly service is what makes it so special.

Nice and small hotel in the middle of the city.
Posted 30 Apr 2016
Pros: All employee are kind and facilities are clean.
Cons: Need to repair or modernize the comfort room.
Location: It is located near one of the nice lake at Yangon city along famous University Avenue.
This hotel is small but very clean and kind. Transportations are convenient because it is located in the middle of the city. Actually I made a mistake revise the reservation this time , 30 Mar to 22 Apr, instead of actual staying 22 Apr to 20 May this travel, but they provided same price to me as reservation traveler with a warm welcome.

Close to my event, it worked well
Posted 14 Nov 2015
Pros: It's carved paneling, hardwood, marble flooring, it's quaintness
Cons: Decor could be improved
Location: Everything the city has to offer is just a short taxi ride away
Hotel a little rough around the edges but the helpful staff made up for it, they couldn't have been any more helpful
For the price I couldn't have found better and I would go back
Thank you

The decor is old and tired, but it is clean as much as it can be considering its age. Our room smelt of smoke so ask for a non-smoking room if possible. You collect a ticket at reception for breakfast at the restaurant on the street behind the hotel.
