Brief Review
- $25 per night for very small double bedroom (2 singles pushed together) with shared bathroom.
- Hot Water, Western toilets with toilet paper! WiFi in the lobby only and free map on arrival.
- Good location, a few blocks away from the market and central to most things. Down a quite street.
- Rooftop common area (covered so no real views), chairs and tables. Its eight floors up with no lift, be warned.
- Buffet breakfast included (toast, spreads, fruits, tea/coffee, juice, noodles, rice plus a few more.)
- Very helpful owner but he does charge a premium for any bookings when compared to other agents and hotels and gives a poor exchange rate (YOU CAN CHANGE AT THE BANKS NOW!)
- Room was small, smelt like cat pee, and of a low standard bordering on acceptably clean. The more expensive rooms did look a bit better.
Verdict: One of the better choices in Yangon (at the moment) but you pay for it. As more hotels are opening, this one may get left behind unless it drops its prices!
Detailed Review
Like all hotels in Burma, its unjustifiably expensive at $20-$25 per night. My g/f and I opted for the cheaper one at $20 without attached bathroom. The shared bathrooms are decent, clean enough and 4 separate toilets and 2 showers meant we only struggled during the morning rush to grab a shower.

Our room was small, mattresses too small for the beds and it got hot during the night. We had a fan which helped but the dampness did get into our clothes. The worst was the smell of cat pee as the owner has a few cats that roam freely around.
We found the owner very helpful and genuine, giving good advice always with a smile. We noted his tours/tickets to be overpriced when compared to local agents and his exchange rate was insulting and variable depending on the guest?!? (800-830/$1 vs bank rate of 845)
That said, we booked a bus and taxi to the bus to Mandalay (12000 kyat vs 10500 kyat at other agents) through him as we felt assured he would chose a reliable company. We weren’t wrong, great driver.....took us right to bus at the station for 8000 kyat (should be 4000kyat though so they charged DOUBLE!) and the bus itself was a much better one than most we’d seen...so maybe the extra $2 was worth paying.
We may stay here again, but only if we can’t find better elsewhere and don’t mind paying over the odds for everything.More
