From Nathalie Litvine / Paris - France I had a wonderful welcome everywhere in Myanmar as I would have been a princess (that I am not, unfortunaltely !) ... but in the Red Canal Hotel, It was more of that ; anytime from the first minute. Thanks to all the staff for the attention and the kindness. By the way,... more

The Hotel Red Canal is tucked away on a side street and just far enough away from downtown to be quiet and private while still being very conveniently located. Originally the Chinese Consulate, the hotel has been completely redesigned, expanded and upgraded with the most beautiful and thoughtful, custom designed architectural features, furnishings and appointments with beautifully landscaped grounds and... more

This is a very good hotel in Mandalay. The staff in very helpful, good restaurant and nice rooms. I enjoyed my stay very much. more

A thoroughly pleasant hotel experience; comfortable, well-furnished rooms, decent food (including a massive complimentary breakfast), and even reasonably fast internet connection! I stayed here in May, during the New Year celebrations (aka the famous Water Festivals!) and had a wonderful time.

We stayed in 5 different hotels during our amazing holiday in Myanmar and this little boutique hotel probably scored the lowest score but that was because... more

I have mixed feelings about this hotel. Firstly the staff make this hotel - the girls on teh reseption desk are simply fantastic. Their English is amazing, they are friendly and just about the nicest people you will ever meet! They will make your stay there. The rooms were also lovely, maybe a little small but lovely. It is a... more

While traveling/backpacking around SE Asia over the past half decade I've stayed 300 or so nights in both 5 star hotels and $2 guest houses: of all those nights, the most memorable experience I've had was at the Hotel Red Canal. Attention to detail, service, and unexpected luxury: This is what you'll find at the hotel. As important as these... more

The Hotel at Red Canal is an excellent boutique style hotel located close to many of the major attractions in Mandalay (the National Palace is literally at the end of the street within easy walking distance; and Mandalay Hill and downtown are a short trishaw ride away costing no more than 1 USD). The hotel and its grounds are not... more
