The facilities are excellent. It's spotlessly clean and truly the epitome of a traditional Korean hotel. All the staff are incredibly friendly. The fitness center is excellent, and with an indoor pool, you can enjoy a swim at any time of day. The hotel is so spacious that you can even take a leisurely walk around inside.

Superb and gorgeous hotel near Sule pagoda, downtown area but the entrance is only one side and cannot enter this hotel from the riverside. It is hard to spot this hotel from some directions because there's no visible sign or hotel name except the entrance and Sule road side. The room is perfect comfort itself and spotless clean. The concierge and doormen and porters are professionally trained but other clerks still need training, as I don't want to see them idly chattering in groups in the presence of guests even in the lobby area. Hotel is not childpark or dance club for youngsters. Breakfast quality is wonderful and cooking staff members are excellent, but there was almost no explanation on how I can even order omelet or any food item which is NOT on the buffet table. And it was ridiculous to ask each time to receive sliced salami and cheese, why just can't I take them from buffet table? Overall the hotel itself is very good but some points are strange and not up to mark.
This is a hotel that truly takes care of its guests, without the usual “isms and schisms” that frequent travellers often encounter.
They have a star team led by outstanding HODs, all driven by a desire to exceed expectations. Even when I faced an issue with one of their tenants (Dr. S Deluxe Aesthetics Clinic), the hotel team stepped in immediately— no excuses, only professionalism & results.
What the property may lack in architectural grandeur & lake views, they more than make up for through 5* hospitality.
Special thanks to FOM Nilar, Duty Manager Moe Tun, and F&B Manager Min Thu Mickey.
With such leadership, the best years of Novotel Max Yangon are still ahead of them.

This hotel exceeded expectations with exceptional customer service—staff were friendly, attentive, and eager to help. The room was spotless, with well-maintained amenities that made the stay comfortable and relaxing. Every detail reflected care and quality. A truly pleasant experience that I would happily recommend to anyone seeking comfort and hospitality.
The room space and bathroom are clean and tidy, but there are too few sockets in the room which is a bit inconvenient. The service staff is friendly and the breakfast has many choices and tastes good. There are no supermarkets around the hotel, so the convenience is a bit lacking. Overall, it's a great hotel.
The location is good however room cleanliness need to be improve; beside I found out that toilet bowl & floor are not maintain well.
Plus, few power outages along my stays where I fell not comfortable & secure - what if I am stuck inside the life?
Anyway I found the breakfast serving is good with variety foods.
Location of the property is opposite to Myanmar Plaza shopping mall. It would be great if the size gate of the property could open for guests to walk a shorter distance to the mall.
Service staffs were very friendly, especially Lenna who was very efficient during the check-out process and responded professionally to queries.
Breakfast at D’Cusine was average needs improvement. There is also a Japanese Restaurant and a Korean restaurant for dining within the property.
Swimming pool is excellent especially for family with kids.
Club at basement played good music. Take note of age group and dress code requirements.
Overall highly satisfied with the stay at this property.
Old luxury hotel - resort style big pool, great breakfast, spacious rooms. They have to renovate it, but it still very nice.
Ah, by the way. Its hard to find some restaurants nearby - be prepared for taxi for any case. But they have 24h convenient store on first floor.
And - its very strange for the hotel of this level - there was a situation with exec lounge. It was in my booking but they refuse to give me access: ”It was an error in room description”. Guys, its really not my trouble, right? I wasnt in the mood for hard negotiations, so... let carma decide ))) And they have no local shuttle bus (yes, there is an error on hotel site). Heh )))
Very Good

GGary Joseph HayesReview: The Governor’s Residence, Yangon
The Governor’s Residence remains one of Yangon’s most atmospheric and elegant hotels, combining colonial charm with modern comfort. Nestled in a quiet embassy district, the restored teak mansion, once the home of a British colonial governor, immediately impresses with its graceful architecture and tranquil gardens. Approaching through leafy pathways and lotus ponds, guests are welcomed into an oasis that feels far removed from the bustle of downtown Yangon.
Rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated, featuring polished teak floors, four-poster beds, and traditional Burmese textiles that reflect the building’s heritage. Balconies overlook either the lush gardens or the inviting fan-shaped swimming pool, creating a sense of calm retreat. The service is consistently warm, professional, and attentive without being intrusive, with staff eager to share local knowledge and assist with arrangements.
Dining is a highlight. The open-air restaurant offers refined Burmese and international dishes, prepared with fresh ingredients and presented with flair. Breakfast under the wide verandas, with tropical birdsong in the background, is especially memorable. Afternoon cocktails by the pool or an evening meal by candlelight evoke the romantic grandeur of a bygone era.
What sets the Governor’s Residence apart is its atmosphere: it is not simply a hotel but a living reminder of Yangon’s colonial past, reimagined with comfort and grace. Whether visiting on business or leisure, guests leave with a sense of serenity and timeless elegance. For those seeking a blend of history, luxury, and authentic Burmese hospitality, this residence is an exceptional choice.

TTOMOYUKI YANOThe smiles of the staff are impressive. It's a great location, so I think it would be better if they maintained the air conditioning and other facilities a little more hygienically.
