Myanmar Panda Hotel
TravelPod Member ReviewsMyanmar Panda Hotel Yangon (Rangoon)
My impressions have dimmed over the last few months home, but I remember the Panda Hotel as being adequate. The location was out of the way but at least it was close to the National Museum and some good restaurants and a supermarket. The room was fine and the breakfast buffet had lots of choices - it was better to order your eggs if you wanted any, otherwise you end up with cold eggs. Staff were courteous and helped me when I needed to extend my stay.

Trying to Cram Everything In - Yangon
Last night I had a bit of trouble sleeping - what could it have been? But I finally did get to sleep and was up around 7 am and ready to go a bit past 8 am.
I waffled about what I would do first - the park or the train ride - thinking that the train ride might be better in the heat of the day, but ended up taking a taxi for 3000 khat …

Rosemary and I went down to breakfast and were surprised that we were the first of our group to arrive there. Then the others began to drift in. I ate my cold fried egg, noodles and eclair while Rosemary regretted that she had left her camera in the room and couldn't take a photo of the odd mix. Hanna and others managed to get their eggs to …
Sad Farewell to Ngapali Beach
It is a sad day today because we leave Ngapali Beach. I woke up a little after 6 am and went for a photo walk to the beach. I tried to capture the amazing patterns the waves make on the sand but they were not as striking as a few days ago when I didn't have my camera on me. Then I went to breakfast and was joined by Rosemary. I had had a nice …

So it is 8 am march 20 but still the 19th at home. I am ahead of myself. I am now waiting at the gate for Yangon - I went through security and immigration without too much hassle - no pre-check here so I had to take off my jacket & bring out my laptop. I brought out my liquids as well just to be on the safe side.
It is much nicer …
English classes in Yangon
... and asking if I wanted a Myanmar boyfriend (a bit creepy and inappropriate, especially coming from a monk?) it was fine and they didn't mind me asking them questions about their lifestyle. The hour flew by and before we knew it, it was time to leave. The teacher asked if I would return the following morning and having made no plans for my final day (Anna was leaving early in the morning) I agreed.
In the morning, I got up to say goodbye to Anna. ...

How serfdom saved the womens movement
Name Instructor Title of Course October 8 , 2008 How Serfdom Save the Women 's Movement : A Summary Flanagan in this article expresses the different roles that women play in this society . This was told in point of view of a woman once and innocent girl of 15 years girl , later grew and got married to realize her predicament which the society dictate her to be . The article speaks of her observations and experiences and talked of a nanny , a nurse , a waitress , a mother , a single mother , a domestic helper
, a factory worker , and herself as a working mother . Several characters where in fact introduced and their features are sometimes presented but they all revolved to the theme that women in the society are relegated to a lesser class human being as compared to their male counterpart . The women worked hard but received meager pay and seldom get better positions in a company
The article speaks of wives and mothers who are expected to raise their children , do the household chores , but do not get so much in return . It speaks of the desire of women to have professional works while they perform their roles as loving mother and a good wife . The presence of a nanny in the house provides more freedom for a working mother to have more time for herself and for her outside work for the home . Nanny or domestic helper or workers are most welcome by working mothers this is so because they unburden the mother of the tasks and responsibilities of taking care of the needs of the children
Nanny , or domestic helper , or a nurse in the house , or a secretary in an office is still a form of slavery . It is a serfdom that inspired the women to organize and empower themselves to gain freedom and recognition in this society

VietNamNet Bridge – Every field has its "tycoons", including the world of art. Famous contemporary painters have made enormous sums of money, but there is little information about them in newspapers. Sometimes you can read a short piece of news about a Vietnamese painter whose artworks were auctioned overseas. However, according to the professionals in the industry, the sale of paintings and development trends of art are different. The painting market in Vietnam boomed in the early 90s and lasted until the early 2000. The ranking of Vietnamese contemporary artists began to be distinguished clearly, not by local experts, but by foreign galleries or international exhibitions. The value of a painting might reach a towering number. The change in the art market created a new vitality in the art scene. In that context, promising faces became hot names, including Pham Luan, Le Thanh Son, Hong Viet Dung, Nguyen Thanh Binh, Do Quang Em, Ha Tri Hieu, Dang Xuan Hoa, and Dinh … [Read more...]

Has VN entered the middle-income trap?
Compiled by Le Hung Vong Becoming a middle-income country has brought enormous challenges for Viet Nam, including the danger of getting caught in the so-called middle-income trap. The issue of whether the country has already fallen into the trap has sparked much debate in the past few weeks. Japanese expert Kenichi Ohno has said it has but local economist Nguyen Minh Phong said since Viet Nam has been a middle-income country for just three years, it cannot be considered to have fallen into the trap. At a seminar organised by the Party Central Committee's Economic Commission in Ha Noi early last week, Ohno, who has spent over 20 years studying Viet Nam's economic issues, said: "I know experts do not share my viewpoint, but to me the middle-income trap is a tendency rather than an exact point of time." He said policymaking in Viet Nam is different and does not follow international criteria, and urged the Government to change this and be more proactive. Tran Dinh Thien, … [Read more...]

Anti-corruption measures not strict enough to curb violations
HA NOI (VNS) — Most lawmakers agreed the number of corruption cases brought before the public's eye was merely a drop in the ocean, and current anti-corruption measures were not strict enough to serve as effective deterrents. National Assembly deputies continued their work yesterday to discuss the prevention and fight against violations and crimes. Examining anti-corruption work yesterday, Deputy Le Nhu Tien from central Quang Tri Province said official efforts had yet to meet voters' expectations. While anti-corruption agencies spanned from central to grassroots levels, the press and ordinary citizens had uncovered most corruption cases, he said. There is growing concern about the fight against corruption among National Assembly deputies He raised concerns regarding the increasing reluctance of whistle blowers to raise their voices. The negligence of authorities and delayed action on reported cases left them vulnerable to reprisals and discouraged their peers, Tien said. The … [Read more...]

Modulation of hypovitaminosis D-induced islet dysfunction and insulin resistance through direct suppression of the pancreatic islet renin–angiotensin system in mice
- Q. Cheng,
- B. J. Boucher,
- P. S. Leung
- … show all 3 hide
Vitamin D is necessary for normal insulin action and suppresses renin production. Increased renin–angiotensin system (RAS) activity causes islet damage, including reduced insulin secretion. We therefore sought to determine whether hypovitaminosis D-induced upregulation of islet RAS in vivo impairs islet cell function and increases insulin resistance, and whether pharmacological suppression of the RAS during continuing vitamin D deficiency might correct this.
C57BL/6 mice were rendered vitamin D-deficient by diet, and glucose and insulin tolerance was assessed. The expression and translation of islet functional, and islet RAS, genes were measured and the effects of pharmacological renin suppression examined.
Mice with diet-induced hypovitaminosis D developed impaired glucose tolerance, increased RAS component expression and impaired islet function gene transcription. Treatment with pharmacological renin inhibition (aliskiren), without vitamin D status correction, reduced islet RAS over-reactivity, islet dysfunction and insulin resistance, and improved glucose tolerance.
Upregulation of islet RAS genes can contribute to hypovitaminosis D-induced impairment of islet function and increase insulin resistance independently of vitamin D status. Thus, our findings support the use of RAS inhibitors in impaired glucose homeostasis or early diabetes. They also suggest that combining RAS inhibition with correction of hypovitaminosis D might be useful in treating impaired glycaemic control and also in type 2 diabetes prevention. However, the use of aliskiren in established diabetes is contraindicated due to the increased risk of side effects such as hyperkalaemia, so other more suitable RAS blockers need to be identified.

Old news
Heard from a reliable source that wife had a "fling" while we were engaged. Should I bring this up to her? It's been over 10 yrs since it happened.
It depends on your personality. I would. There is no way I could hold something like that inside without discussing it. Ignoring it, or not talking about it will not make it go away. It may tear you up inside and make matters worse. Now, that's me. If it doesn't really bother you and you think you can ignore/forget about it, then I would try that route.
I know some women choose to ignore or look the other way if they know their husband is having an affair, and I could see that point if you thought this was a marriage ender thing. But, this situation doesn't sound like you're marriage is doomed especially since it happened so long ago and before you were marrried. So, I see no reason for not bringing it up unless you are so forgiving of a person that you really don't want someone you love to have to admit to it.
Problem is, I would assume that this revelation has caused you to doubt or distrust your wife in some ways. It would be nice to hear her side of the story. What if the 'facts' and your asssumptions are wrong? What were her reasons? It would be nice to hear her out rather than assume the worse and distrust her for the rest of your marriage.
Guess it really boils down to your personality and what you can live with.
You are thinking about it now, aren't you? So it is on your mind...and probably always will be, and might come out when you are having an argument..when you may not want to bring it up.
I would choose your time...think carefully about what you want to say...and why you want to talk about it..and bring it up.
Think about how she may react to you asking her, would she be defensive, perhaps.
Its rather upsetting, really.
It was 10 years ago. You are reacting like it happened recently because it is new information to you. That's understandable. But remember, she chose you 10 years ago and has stayed with you for that long. You must be doing something right.
I wonder what motivation this reliable source had for bringing it up 10 years later. What a horribly mean thing to do.
What do you expect your wife to say or do now? It's happened. She can't change it. Do you expect her to deny it? Then what?
Unless you are fully prepared for all the possible consequences of bringing this up, keep it to yourself.
I thought about this a little more and, I agree, what kind of reliable source brings up something like that to you? Maybe they aren't really all that reliable or trustworthy. I'm really thinking that there is a possiblity that it didn't happen. She may have stayed over at a co-worker's house or something and people just assumed it happened. Was the reliable source the other guy himself, or did she just go around telling lots of people so that some day it would get back to you?
I can't really imagine what the negative "possible consequences" of bringing this up are. Worse case scenario she didn't do it and is pissed that you would ever believe it. Other than that, unless you are totally afraid of confrontation/open communication what could really go all that wrong. A little crying? or... maybe you'll learn...
1.)She really didn't do it
2.)She did it because she was questioning the marriage, but it made her realize you really were the one
3.)She was drunk or just acting immature
4.) She admits she had sex with John Smitth, your best freind and half brother the day before the wedding, and yes, he was great, so much so that she continued to see him, even on the honeymoon and to this day, in fact that last phone call was him. And, by the way the kids..well, they may be his, and since you brought it up, well, she thinks she's going to leave you for him, so what if he's a priest, he rocks her world!
Bottom line, If my husband ever heard I had cheated on him, even before marriage, I would expect him to bring it up to me and not ignore it. If you can't/don't talk openly in your marriage then you have a lot bigger problems than if your wife had a fling before you were married. And, just because something happened many years ago isn't a reason to ignore it especially if it bothers you.
Disagree with carla. 10 years? "Reliable" source? Telling you now, why?
If you have a shaky marriage anyway, maybe the potential consequences don't matter to you. If you have a good marriage, why sprinkle this poison on it? If it isn't true you'll cause a lot of pain and put everything else at risk. If it is true, you'll cause a lot of pain and put everything else at risk. I don't see any benefit regardless and I think your "source" is a snake for bringing it up to you. Something's not right there. This disclosure was made to you for a reason -- some agenda at work. Unless YOU have some agenda not mentioned in your post, I'd suck it up.
I totally agree with you that possibly the disclosure was made for a reason. That is exactly why it should be discussed (and not ignored), IMHO. If someone is trying to sabotage the relationship it needs to be brought out in the open. It will not go away on it's own and the sabotager may just continue in other ways.
Do you really think this kind of thing can just be "sucked up" by most and will just go away if it isn't addresssed?
I'm just not understanding exactly what is he putting at risk if he brings it up? Will she leave him? Will she cry, scream, lie, hit? Exactly what is the worse that can happen if he brings it up and she admits to it? Can it be all that worse than his living with the mistrust and uncertainy of her faithfulness now? She may actually want to get it off her chest. That's a long time to be carrying something like that around.
If he doesn't think she did it, he could just tell her what someone else said about her and see how she reacts. He doesn't have to jump on her about it.
And, I'm also wondering if it would make a difference if this had happened 10 years ago right after they were married, what about 5 years ago, 1 year ago, or 1 month ago. What time period is ok to just forget about, and at what point would you think it's ok to bring it up?
All great replies, thank you. I've been thinking alot about this news I've had for 7 days now. It came from a reliable source, that is true. What I don't know is if the guy stretched the story or not. Some guys will get to 2nd base and tell his friends he hit a home run. I don't know this guy at all.
As for my wife, what will this gain? I don't know. She has been faithful since marriage, cause she has been a stay at home mom all but one and a half yrs of marriage(this fling happened before marriage). I'd like to know b/c if it is true, I'd like her to know that if I knew of it back then, she would not be here now, not with me and would not have had these beautiful kids.
Makes me mad thinking that I turned down offers, yet she decided to take one of her offers. If this is true.
Our marriage is plenty strong to handle me bringing this up, no question at all. If I do we will still grow old together.
You don't know the guy at all and don't know if he stretched the story? (Nor do you know his motives.) And you consider that a reliable source? So maybe she had a fling, and maybe she didn't--or maybe it was just a flirtation.
Applying the Golden Rule is always safe. If the tables were turned, and some woman your wife "doesn't know at all," who "might be stretching the story," claimed to have had a fling with you before getting married, what would you want your wife to do with the information? How would it affect your love for her, your respect, and the future of your marriage, if she were eager to let you know that "if the story is true," and she had known of it back then, you would not be her husband today and would not have these beautiful kids.
What is the story is not true? How will she feel about your quickness to believe the worst of her? And either way, someday in the future, if you yourself should ever stray, you will have paved the way for your wife to say, "You claim you would have broken our engagement if I had had a fling and you found out about it. Well, now I have found out about your present fling and it is much more serious because we are married, not just engaged. According to your way of thinking, this should break us up, so I want a divorce."
While I understand your anger about her possibly having done something you resisted doing, aren't your wife's well-being and your marriage more important than keeping score that way? What disturbs me about your posts is not the idea of your asking her about the story, but the anger and willingness to hurt her, even now, after 10 years of her being faithful to you. If you do talk this over, it is that anger and mean-spiritedness that will do the most harm, and that is why I mentioned the Golden Rule. If you can take the matter up in the way you would want her to handle it if the situation were reversed, your marriage may be strengthened. If your motive is anger and revenge, it will do harm, whether the story was true or not.
"I'd like to know b/c if it is true, I'd like her to know that if I knew of it back then, she would not be here now, not with me and would not have had these beautiful kids.
Makes me mad thinking that I turned down offers, yet she decided to take one of her offers. If this is true.
Our marriage is plenty strong to handle me bringing this up, no question at all. If I do we will still grow old together."
Vengeful little toot, aren't you, as well as smug?
Married people are on the most intimate terms.
Your partner is, or should be, the person in whom you have the most trust, the most faith.
What somebody outside the marriage says is irrelevant at most.
You don't know that person's motives or morals (there *are* people who say spiteful things just to enjoy the power of destroying other people's lives.)
What you're proposing to do is insulting & threatening, not the kind of behavior anybody should receive from their partner.
Are you contemplating maybe the power of making your wife feel threatened & insecure?
It can backfire.
Maybe she would wish she had taken up some other offer.
2. "I have no doubt we'll grow old together."
Women today do have options.
They *can* escape from men who are mean to them.
Don't do something you can't undo.
I think you should ask her about it. Why? So she can see your true colors and decide for herself if you are the kind of man she should be with. If I were in her shoes you'd be out the door for telling me something like this:
"I'd like to know b/c if it is true, I'd like her to know that if I knew of it back then, she would not be here now, not with me and would not have had these beautiful kids.
Makes me mad thinking that I turned down offers, yet she decided to take one of her offers. If this is true.
Well said Sylvia!
So what could happen if you confront your wife? She admits it, or she denies it.
- If she admits it, you're certainly not going to be very happy. And if you give her that snarky attitude about all the free sex you didn't get, she'll be plenty un-impressed with you too. Definitely, not the "grateful you married her anyway" little wifey you're imagining. If she's been a good wife to you and you truly love her, bringing that kind of anger and pain into the mix won't help.
- Now imagine what would happen if she denies it? Will you even believe her? Or not? If my husband believed some stranger over me, I'd be plenty mad! For him not to trust me absolutely?! What kind of marriage is that? Either you trust her absolutely, or you don't. And if you trust her absolutely, some stranger's story, short of dated photographs, should hold no weight.
If she admitted it, would you forgive her? Could you honestly step back and realize that she is only human, and that she may have once made a mistake? (Maybe you made a mistake once too?) That any mistake that may have happened is old news, and doesn't reveal much about the person she is now, the wife you've been happily married to for the past ten years, the mother of your children...
Try realigning your thinking from "I would never have married that skank!" to "Thank goodness nothing prevented me from marrying this wonderful woman!"
I would guess that the reliable source is a woman who knows you and your wife well. The story that your wife had a premarital fling would not be something another man would be able to work into a conversation with you. You wouldn't believe an enemy or a stranger or somebody at work.
Your wife will make the same guess, and think about which of her friends is likely to be having marital problems and want to be discussing intimate topics like this with you. Its a real invitation to you--motive and probably opportunity.
You are angry at your wife (who was probably not involved with anybody but instead arguing with the wedding planner over floral pieces)and you are thinking "I could have been involved with all of the bridesmaids if I had only known. " The person who told you is probably having a laugh at how easy it was to spread a little poison in your direction.
Hmmm...how about looking at things from this angle:
Aren't the people we marry pretty much the product of their prior relationship experiences? Most of us know that our significant others dated before us.
If I really felt, after some soul searching that it was a one-tiem thing way back when, but my marriage had been great since that time, I'd be inclined to find a way to "get ok" with it within myself.
Why? If my ultimate goal is to remain in this good marriage, I need to do what I judge to be in service of that goal. By bringing it out now you're likely to create a huge mud puddle just "working through" this thing that wasn't doing anything.
Also, not that it's right or wrong....but I know tons of guys that have "last flings" before they get married, never to indulge again.
Surely you're not under the illusion that either of you are completely honest with each other?
Can you say "Honey, does this dress make me look fat?" "Babe, do you think this half-shirt makes me look like white trash?"
Know what YOU want! If this news is going to eat you up completely unless you confront her - you will have to confront her - you do not have choice.
Otherwise - just forget and continue your life. Easier said than done, but... Just to calm yourself down - remember some fling you had (hopefully, you did), that she does not know of. Life is life. For whatever reason that happened - it's such a past - 10 years! No need to be worried. She has been a good wife. So, let it go.

What's the difference? Organic cotton is grown without harsh pesticides or chemical fertilizers, so it's much gentler on both air and soil.
Turning trash into dreams.
Our dog beds get their resilient, long-lasting loft from an unexpected source—plastic bottles recycled into our exclusive IntelliLoft® stuffing.
Guaranteed Great!
Our dog beds are so comfy your pooch will be happily sleeping through everything (so much for thinking you had a guard dog). If you (or your dog) aren't totally satisfied, we'll make it right - Guaranteed.
Handcrafted in the U.S.A.
Each dog bed is sewn by hand, with care and craftsmanship, at our headquarters in Bozeman, Montana.
Wash, dry, snooze, repeat.
Our dog beds may feature luxurious, silky-soft fabrics (like Organic Cotton and Hemp) but they don't need special care—they're all easily refreshed with a single wash and dry.

Customer Reviews
Order size up
August 24, 2013
The bed is very well made and the color is natural/neutral.
I purchased the bed based on pounds (which were listed) for our dog. In hind sight, I should have ordered the next size up.
The bed is extremely small for our dog, but he squeezes himself into the middle part. I did not want to send it back based on the expensive shipping rates--and the next size up would have been much more expensive in addition to the additional shipping.
I think that the beds should be listed/sized (charted) according to breeds.
My dogs love thier bumper bed
August 07, 2013
I bought a bumper bed for my first dog based on the recommendation of Karma Dog Training in Austin, TX. My dog loves it.
When I got my second puppy, he also loved it--so much that he wouldn't let the other dog sleep on it. I ended up getting a second one and both of them love taking their afternoon naps and sleeping in them at night.
I love them because I can take the cover off and easily wash the beds. These beds are a lifesaver!
Once Again Sizing Info Is a Challenge
June 03, 2013
This is a 1 Star rating because this is the second time I think I've gotten the size correct when ordering a bed and then had to return it at my expense. In spite of multiple measures to make certain I'm ordering the correct size.So I'm paying abut $28 in shipping alone on this particular purchase. A warning to others: don't assume because you purchase a medium Tuckered Out Bed that you should order a medium sized Bumper Bed. Otis fits into a small corner of the BB. If he were female he could whelp puppies in it. So it has to go back. I wish West paw would indicate what dog breeds fit what beds to give a better visual. I really like buying US made and I like the West Paw product line, which I would normally give a 5 Star rating, but this bed buying is a discouragingly pricy system for me.
Swedish Vallhund Pippi LOVES her bed!
March 06, 2013
Wonderful bed, comfy and full of personality. The best customer service ever!!! Now our two Cardigan corgi's are begging for new beds from West Paw too.
Well constructed, extremely comfortable (or so the kittens said)
January 26, 2013
We are very impressed by this product. The kittens will be large cats and should still have plenty of room.
Bumper Bed is Too Popular
January 25, 2013
I bought a large Organic Bumper Bed for my Golden/Chow mix adoptee. After having a huge tumor removed from his side, he's doing very well on chemo and loves his new nest. The only problem is that my other dogs (two Chihuahuas) and cats think it's pretty great, too. Since Flanagan is too polite to chase them out of his bed, I have to remove them for him. I think the bed should come with paw-print recognition feature that would only allow the authorized user into the bed. (Oh well...)
Organic Bumper Bed- 2 thumbs up
January 23, 2013
This is our second bumper bed for Tippy. We bought our medium crimson one directly from West Paw. We were not informed it was on backorder, and we waited about a month before it arrived. We sent an e-mail to check on the delivery status after waiting a couple weeks, and we received a comical, personalized e-mail from customer service apologizing for the delay. It's safe to say it's worth the wait, the little pug lives in it!
Doggie heaven
January 09, 2013
We ordered two of these beds to replace our 60 lb mixed breed's upstairs and downstairs beds that were getting pretty ratty. We debated on a large or x-large based on the dimensions of his current beds and I'm glad we went with the large. It is plenty roomy for him; not cramped at all. You can tell the minute you open the box that these beds are REALLY well made. We love the separate bottom pillow that can be removed and cleaned if accidents occur (already had a few and the cover washes up great and air dries in a reasonable amount of time). But all of this would not matter if good old Jethro did not absolutely love the beds, and he does! The reason we went with the organic beds rather than the regular ones is because our guy has trouble with allergies. He has had no issues in this area with his new beds.
Thanks so much for an excellent product West Paw Designs!
Organic bumper bed a success!
January 06, 2013
I ordered the gold/gold color combo and was really impressed with the rich color and quality construction. The covers are easy to zip off for cleaning. I put it out for my older dog and after a few minutes she was in. She didn't leave the bed until several hours later. The bed has a lot of poly-fill stuffing which provides deep cushioning. She uses it every day along with her usual spot on the couch. If you have the space get one size larger than you think you need so your dog can stretch out. I got a large for my medium size dog. Great product!
December 12, 2012
My German Shepherd is 66 lbs & I was not sure she would fit in the large bed. Still, I ordered that size & she fits perfectly - she curls up and rests her head on the bumper. This is the BEST bed. The gold color is beautiful and fits perfectly in my bedroom.
I will definitely purchase another in the future. Awesome that it's made in the USA.

Very good
Walking distance to many tourist attractions and shopping. Did not use WiFi.
The smallest shower I have ever seen. Elbows hit walls when washing hair! Not much hanging space for clothes and no drawers. Air conditioning a bit cold but it was very hot so not too bad at night. Breakfast was a bit ordinary but similar to breakfast in other South American cities.
the reception staff, and the breakfast are amazing, thsnks to Luis and Matias
the tiny bed, that was suposed to be a queen size, was actually 1.40, by maybe 1.90, the neighbourhoid was a bit scary, dirty street, with lots of garbage, and didnt feel safe at all,
Very small room, no AC (centrally controled but was off during our stay in early spring in buenos aires in which temperatures drop to 9 degrees celsius at night) Very noisy room in which you could hear everything, which included the beep sound from the elevaTor everytime it stopped (and not just in our floor), wifi and breakfast paid separately(but we already knew this)
Small room, noisy, early check out, no breakfast and wifi included in the rate, much better options in the area (5 block ratio from the obelisco) for the same price, for eg we stayed at boutique zen suites and hotel de las americas for the same rate (around 500pesos per night incluidinh the 21% tax)
The location of the hotel is very good
The rooms are very small and the walls really thin which makes it very noisy. If you want a quiet place, this is not.
Good location and service.
The room is quite small. The air-conditioning can not be controlled from the room -it's way too loud and apparently inter-connected to the toilets of other rooms...
Location. Price. Service. I had to pay for the breakfast and Wifi service but it was still reasonable price. Breakfast is really good and the room is spacious.
In front of hotel, Calle Lavalle is under construction so kind of noisy. But I stayed just for one night it was not bad.
room was comfortable and quiet
huge repairing activities in street in front of hotel door not safe feeling in neighbourhood if walking alone at night cafes/restaurants around quite pricey charging wireless internet extra
clean room, good situation close to Florida street, sympatic and helpful staff
noisy fan system
My mum and I were very happy with our stay at Mathis hotel! The hotel room was very modern and clean. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We were given a map of Buenos Aires, and a list of tourist attractions, when we arrived; which was very useful.
Although we were very happy with our stay at the hotel, there were a couple of negatives: 1. Even though the bathroom was spacious, the shower was too small 2. Although the WIFI was not overly priced ($6 24hour), I personally think that this commodity should have been free 3. Due to the air-conditioning being regulated by one system in the hotel, it meant that it could not be adjusted for personal preferences, therefore leaving our room cold during the day and night.
The hotel is modern, clean and very central
Some of the front of house staff didn't know how to speak English very well
