The hotel has a great location, making it easy to explore local attractions, and the view from my room was fantastic. However, the rooms, while clean, had an unpleasant odor and the service could be improved due to language barriers. There were some decent dining options, but they could cater better for those who don't eat spicy food. Overall, it’s a fair value for money, but there are definitely areas for improvement.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was pretty good, right in the 'Little India' section of Yangon, and the staff was friendly and helpful, which made a positive impression. However, the room could have been cleaner, and I had some issues with service, especially communication with some staff members. Overall, it has its ups and downs, but for the price, it might just work for some travelers.

The hotel boasts a fantastic location, tucked away in the 'Little India' neighborhood of Yangon, making it easy to get to nearby attractions. My room was spacious and well-decorated, and overall, it offered excellent value for money compared to lesser local guesthouses. However, we had some trouble with the lighting in the room, which was quite bright at night and affected our sleep. Additionally, the language barrier with some of the staff made communication a bit challenging.

The hotel is located in a vibrant area in 'Little India' of Yangon, which I found really charming. The staff were incredibly friendly and tried hard to assist me despite some language barriers. However, the rooms were quite small and a bit noisy due to the traffic outside, which made my stay less than ideal. Overall, it was decent value for money given the great location.
