Reviews and Ratings
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.
