Yangon Hotels with Bars

The hotel is nice. Don't expect super high standards like in China or Europe due to the socioeconomic situation of the country but honestly, I have nothing to complain about. The staff was very kind and spoke English, the view from the top is fantastic, rings are clean and nice. Unfortunately, the breakfast included almost nothing vegan, that's the only downside.

It is located in embassy area and not far from the main road. The courtesy of clerks, the design and the ambience are pretty nice. The room is also spacious and the bed quality is good. But the biggest problem is there were so many mosquitos and I couldn't protect myself from their bloodhunt even with mosquito curtain as it has big holes and broken parts everywhere and everytime I go to wash my hands mosquitos were targeting me. The room itself is not airtight and small flies are coming in from nowhere, especially toilet and the entrance door. When I first entered the room, the central window was wide open without sash and the hotel has no will to eliminate mosquitos in the room.

Warning: Major language barriers and smoking issues at this new hotel While this is a newly built hotel, I was shocked by the lack of English proficiency at a 5-star establishment in Yangon. The front desk staff spoke only Mandarin and Burnmese. Ironically, the IT technician was the only person who understood a bit of English, which was the only redeeming factor regarding communication. Key issues for international travelers: Language Barrier: Do not expect to use English with the reception; it is primarily a Mandarin-speaking environment. Smoking Regulation: Despite ”No Smoking” signs in the lobby lounge, guests were smoking openly on the coffee tables. I also encountered guests smoking in the hallways and elevator lobbies on the guest floors. It felt as though I was in China rather than Myanmar. Dining: The breakfast buffet is strictly Chinese-style. There were no Burmese food or drink options available at all. Room Condition: My room had a persistent smell of smoke and was full of mosquitoes. This is likely because housekeeping leaves the doors wide open during cleaning.

Convenient, clean, and good value for money. The breakfast selection was huge! It's close to restaurants and easy to get around with car rental services available or by calling a Grab.

The front desk staff were very rude – no eye contact, expressionless faces, and unhelpful attitude. There is no room service available in the morning. I requested a water bottle to be sent to my room at 8:30 AM, but was told that room service only starts after 11 AM and that I should go buy water myself from the convenience store.

The room size is average, and the housekeeping service is decent. The location is quite convenient, very close to popular attractions, and within walking distance. The service is good, but they only speak the local language and English, so communication in Chinese is not possible.

First time staying here for a business trip, and my overall impression is: the facilities are quite new, the environment is good, breakfast is plentiful, and it offers great value for money. Plus, there's no traffic congestion, making it convenient for getting around and to the airport.

The breakfast offered a wide variety of delicious options. My room had a bathtub, and while there was plenty of hot water, it came out a brownish color. Also, only a small bottle of shampoo was provided, and there was no conditioner.

During check-in, there seemed to be a problem with the key card, which caused the check-in process to take a long time. After checking in, everything seemed normal, but eventually the key card didn't work. I don't understand why the staff didn't inform guests about the system malfunction. I couldn't access my room and had to go back to inform the staff, which meant they had to escort me to my room. The staff should have informed me from the beginning.

A legendary historic hotel. The location isn't great, right on the road with no amenities nearby. There's nothing much to explore. All the rooms are pretty similar, so just book the basic room type; the more expensive ones aren't better, and even the river-facing rooms don't offer sunset or river views. The service attitude is good, but their SOPs are terrible. My booking included high tea, and the restaurant required multiple confirmations before I finally got it after complaining in person. What's worse, they lost my visa paper during check-in (this is very serious!). When I called to ask them to find it, they told me it had been scanned onto another document, which was utter nonsense.
