Traders Hotel Best of IgoUgo

Hotel | "Traders' Hotel"

I stayed in Traders Hotel in Yangon in May 2005. The hotel provided all the comforts expected in Myanmar. The well-lighted coffee shop was our place for breakfast and dinner. Indian food was also prepared for us on request by the chef, Mr. Ganesan. The buffet food was OK, though the so-called southern Europe buffet was not good. Overall, the experience for a three-week stay in the hotel was nice. The executive lounge on the top floor provided good snacks and relaxation in the evenings. Internet was a problem in whole of Myanmar, though we could access our office site.
