Yangon Airport was on the north side of the city and our hotel, Best Western Chinatown, ion the south side, two blocks from the sea. Communication problem at desk, but got through that. Had to climb several steps to get to the elevator. This was a problem for our traveling companion who uses a power wheelchair. Had to carry it up to the elevator. Rooms were large with a large bathroom with shower and tub. The water coming out of the faucets is not potable, so be careful with that. Desk area with a nice table, chair, desk lamp and two outlets. In-room safe and refrigerator. Instant coffee available with pot to heat water. Very good lighting. This hotel is on a corner in Chinatown. The breakfast buffet is fabulous with chef to make your eggs, waffles or pancakes as you like them. Full selection of breakfast items and attendants to take care of your special needs. Could not ask for better breakfast. They also offer drinks, in the afternoon, at very reasonable prices. Excellent lunches and dinners also offered at reasonable prices. There is not much in the way of restaurants or things to do in the area. You have to take cab to visit attractions in other parts of the city, but only 3000 MMK or about $2.20 US for most anywhere you need to go. Do not think you can find a better bang for your buck than at the Best Western Chinatown. We took several local tours from the hotel and thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Yangon.

My wife had a booking here but we had to cancel because my father n law passed away. We contacted the staff two weeks before we were supposed to stay there. The staff were very rude and so unhelpful. This was the only hotel who would not refund us on our trip. This was already a very upsetting time for my wife and her family.

We stayed here twice during our Myanmar trip. The location is very handy for tourists, the staff are very helpful and friendly, from concierge to reception to the restaurant, and the price is very reasonable. Best of all is the food: the breakfast service is better than many high class establishments. I certainly did not get bored with the selections available. We also chose to dine in the hotel restaurant for some of our evening meals and the food was superb each time. The apparent negatives mentioned by other reviewers are trivial. Yes the lobby is small, but we were not inconvenienced by this at all. And yes the local area is 'gritty'. But it is in Chinatown after all. Some people welcome this authentic local colour of street vendor chaos as adding to their Myanmar experience. We enjoyed our two stays and would be happy to stay here again.

the hotel is excellently situated in chinatown, especially if you want to go out in the evening. 19th street is in walking distance. The staff gives a very good service. For the room you should take an upgrading. It`s worthwhile-look over the old British Hospital, the town and you see the Shwedagon Pagoda. I regularly return there when I am in Yangon
