It was a real pleasure to arrive in Myanmar and be driven to Classique Inn to start our holiday. It is an 11-room boutique hotel, owned by a Myanmese family. I was so pleased to know our money was going into the local community. Our room was quite small but comfortable. Very comfy beds and a bathroom with good shower, good hot water supply and very good and quiet AC if you needed it. The whole place was spotlessly clean and, being in the diplomatic district, leafy green and very quiet. If you want to be in the centre of downtown, this is not the place for you. We had a good breakfast in the outside, shady eating area. We had arrived quite late the evening before and were too tired to go out, so the hotel offered their menu and suggested two light, local dishes - tea leaf salad and lentil soup. Both delicious and just fitted the bill. A very nice stay and I would certainly go back there if I was in Yangon again.…
We stayed in their room with a kitchenette and it felt very spacious and the decor and appointments are lovely. Their breakfasts are tasty and abundant, coffee is good and service great. The outdoor patio is beautiful, cool and airy. The family owners are sweet and attentive and allowed us to offer meal dana to the monks in the morning, a part of Buddhist life that is not to be missed. It was so nice to come back to our cool, quiet and pleasantly air conditioned room after sightseeing in busy, noisy Yangon. We couldn't believe how quiet the neighborhood is of this sweet inn. Even though it is a quiet residential neighborhood, it is nearby a marketplace and restaurants. We recommend Sharky's an organic place with a great menu about 7 minutes walk. We highly recommend the Classique Inn as an authentic, comfortable place in Yangon, a real gem!…
Had a comfortable room with an outside area. However my bathroom was accessed through a porch like area which would have been the original landing & I was unable to lock this area when I went out. Outside breakfast area was pleasant. Quiet location but if I was to return I would rather stay more central in the Old Colonial Quarter. However taxis in Yangon are cheap but traffic can be a problem. Approx mid way between the airport & Old Colonial Quarter.
Several years ago, when we were organising our second trip to Burma/Myanmar, we looked for somewhere smaller and quieter to stay than the 'grand' hotels of our first trip. My wife found the Classique in Tripadvisor and thought that it was more 'us'. How right she was. We have since stayed there on four more trips at the beginning and end of our travelling around the country and sometimes in the middle too. It is quiet and doesn't have all the facilities of the larger hotels, but it has become our haven of peace and tranquility whilst staying in Yangon. For example, on this trip, there cannot have been many other places in Yangon, where you woke up to the call of the Asian Koel and the repetitive tonk of the Coppersmith Barbet. Thanks to its location and the care of Kalya Aye and her staff, we feel a great sense of relief and contentment when we come up the drive. Lush vegetation surrounds you when you sit on the terrace eating breakfast (try the delicious Burmese options), or enjoying a cold Myanmar beer. There are also more restaurants now within walking distance than when we first stayed. Some people may consider it dark and 'old-fashioned', but we happen to like teak furniture and decorations. Wifi is now working throughout. We will definitely return when back in Yangon.…
