KMA Kaytumadi Hotel — Hotel in Taungoo District

Room quality : good| Service quality : good| Location: fair| Paranormal activity : some encounters|| This hotel is located inside the old palace compound of Taungoo Kingdom. Large area with square shaped moat and a large lake in front of the hotel are signatures of this hotel. Very quiet and isolated at night with very little guests. Generally is a good hotel with large rooms. But this can be a down side for some people who afraid of ghosts. Some local legends say that executions and killings are carried out in this same ground (maybe or maybe not) but you decide. At night there will be no sound that you can even hear your own heart beats. I have been traveling extensively and stayed in many hotels but this one is really something. Bravery level 99 required if you are sleeping alone in a large room, be warned that you can encounter paranormal activity. || The rooms are big and cozy. Towels are a bit worn out and the bathroom is quite dark. The hot and cold water is fine and toilets are in good condition. The beds are stiff and the wooden beds make noise when you move. There are a lot of mosquitos outside so make sure you in and out quickly. There is coffee mix but no hot water or electric kettle provided which is really bad. They provide an old television with no or bad reception of channels. This hotel setup is quite different from other hotels is that they have a very wide land from north to south. In order to utilize the land that they build individual two storied houses with 4 rooms per floor. Each standing quite a distance from one another. || I have to point out that this hotel has discrimination between locals and foreigners at the breakfast. This point really pissed me off. They didn’t prepare buffet breakfast at that time due to few guests (I saw only 7 guests in total) in order to save cost. I am local so I can only have a plate of fried rice. My other Thai lady colleague can choose from menu and she can have toast, pan cakes, bacons, sausages and etc etc. This shouldn’t be like that since this situation put the locals at lower esteem than foreigners. I want to make a complaint about this discriminated breakfast but I don’t want to ruin a good day start and I set back - eating my fried rice. || The morning sun rise from this hotel is a must watch and not to miss at any point. This is the very view that only Kings and royals can enjoy. The lake in front and the sun raising up from the east with background of a distance Pagoda is splendid. There are two swimming pools but the waters are not so clean due to less maintenance. The staffs are very friend and attentive. If you are still thinking about difficulties sleeping alone please consider another hotel - just my...

this was the best property where we stayed in our entire myanmar trip. truely out of the world. excellent and serene location. beautiful interiors. great ambience. could never imagine a small place in myanmar will have such a wonderful place to stay. my only regret is that i was here for a very short time ! reached here late night and left it early in the morning after capturing the breathtaking sunrise. would definitely visit it again in this life if possible. only problem was that it took us a lot of time to locate this property as the roads were dark without streetlights and no help available to direct us to this location. in fact it took us one hour in locating this...
