Would have given 5 stars if it wasn t for the mosquitoes in the lobby. But there are indeed mosquitoes in Yangon. So for those who have mosquito bites allergy please come with plasters and repellent sprays. Shangri la should consider putting citronella around the lobby area to deter the mosquitoes from flying in?
Horizon club checkin was good as we were accompanied up to the lounge (unlike other Shangri la where they ask you to proceed to the lounge yourself). Hotel transfer from airport was smooth. However it is pricey $40usd. May want to consider grab taxi $10usd if not travelling with kids.
The king suite was nice and spacious and the kids loved the rollaway bed. We had requested for cup noodles as the complimentary welcome refreshments but had instead received Coke Zero. Room was kept clean and housekeeping (Daniel) was very diligent. No mosquitoes in the room thankfully (level 12). There is also an ice dispenser along the corridor (comes from filtered water). They also provided sufficient bottled water and toiletries. Toilet has both a shower stall and separate bathtub.
The hotel was only a short 10 minutes walk to both the Bogyoke Aung San market and junction city. The hotel is also connected directly to the sule mall where you can find good Italian food (Casa Mia), money changer, pharmacy, supermarket and other restaurants (though far lesser options as compared to junction city).
Breakfast buffet at cafe sule has a bigger spread as compared to horizon lounge (though understandably it s more crowded).
All in all would come back to stay at Shangri la sule if I am in Yangon again.
