After a rough 10 hour public bus trip from Bagan to Mandalay we were keen to avoid a budget hotel & spend a little bit more for some R&R. The Emerald Land Inn is a decent enough hotel that certainly tries hard to meet tourist standards since they were charging an arm & a leg. Staff spoke good english & were very accommodating.
The hotel's grounds were quite nice & lush with a decent pool & very fancy dinning area. Our room had high ceilings, a separate vanity area & shower-tub. We had aircon & a ceiling fan, the furnishings were of a pretty good standard & there was free wireless but only within the vicinity of the reception area but expect pre-historic dial-up speed.

I was very happy in this hotel. The breakfast was more than adequate - I had no complaints. Quite a haven to come back to in the evening. Good hot showers - air-con worked - very comfy bed - slept like a baby! I would stay there again

We stayed here one night when we first arrived in Mandalay in September 2008.

The hotel is to the west of the palace, several blocks down a street from the action. The area is mostly residential, which also means quiet -- which makes for a good night's sleep!
The hotel has a generator so when the city power cuts out (frequently) they immediately switched over to generator; we were never without power for more than 5 minutes, and this was only in the early morning hours.
All rooms are set in bungalows set around a nice garden area. Each bungalow room has a small outdoor sitting area outside the room. The room was pretty large, with two twin beds, a long dresser, side tables, TV. There was a separate vanity/sink area partitioned off from the toilet & tub.
There is a small tea shop a few steps away from the hotel, and when we set off in search of dinner we easily found some trishaw drivers at the shop who cycled us down to a restaurant and waiting for us to eat, so they could return us back safely in the dark.
It was slightly more expensive than other hotels of this class that we've stayed in but for the quiet location I think it was worth the extra $5 or so we paid to stay here.
